A LETTER FROM YOUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Dear Division 54, I’m honored to serve as your 2016-2017 Lieutenant Governor! I’m looking forward to working with every club to make and meet personal goals and divisional goals. During my term, I want to make our division stronger by allowing opportunities for divisional service projects. I also want to aid all of our clubs with membership growth! I’m excited to see what this year brings.
In Love and Service,
Daphne Uhler

Saturday was a day of forums, where Key Clubbers learned about things like how to manage stress, or participated in games like Jeopardy! Saturday night, closing session was
filled with joy and sorrow as the past year’s district board retired, and members of this year’s district board were inducted. Also, closing session had an awards ceremony! Congratulations to Hanford High School for winning the District Project Award! The District Project Award recognizes the club that has contributed the most to our district project, ELIMINATE. Saturday, and DCON, ended with the Governor’s Ball, and tons of new friends. Only 357 days left until DCON 2017!

DISTRICT GOVERNOR: JULIET YU Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers, My name is Juliet Yu and I’m your 2016-2017 District Governor. I am both honored and thrilled to serve alongside the PNW District Board and with caring leaders like you! Being apart of Key Club has been one of the best experiences in my life and I can’t wait to continue this in our Pacific Northwest District! For our journey together, I truly believe this year will be one of the greatest the Pacific Northwest District has ever seen. By taking the steps of Service, Unity and a Kiwanis Family plan, we will see the heart of Key Club, connection of our district, and reminders of our past/inspirations for our future.

DISTRICT TREASURER: BRYAN LEE Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers! My name is Bryan Lee and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve you as your District Treasurer for the 2016-17 term. My goal this year is to serve and increase connection with Lieutenant Governors and you, the members. Through my quarterly Treasurer newsletters, I hope to provide you the opportunity to learn and engage with the District. Similarly, I look to increase contact with your Lt.Gs to ensure they have the information necessary to help you. Throughout these past 3 years, I have had the opportunity to personally serve at every level in Key Club up to the
District, and one message that has never lost strength is the importance of assisting the members. If you have any questions this year, don’t hesitate to contact me: I’m still a Key Club member like you, and I’m only a message away. In Caring and Service,

DISTRICT EDITOR: AUDREY CHOW Hello PNW! My name is Audrey Chow and I am your 2016 - 2017 District Editor. As an avid Key Clubber and a bit of a Photoshop geek, I am beyond excited to serve in a position where I am able to capture and curate your hard work in our district newsletter, THE ESPRESSO. I plan on publishing four seasonal publications during my term, in addition to making divisional newsletters more accessible for the rest of the district. With the spirit and eagerness to serve still buzzing from DCON, I am confident that great days are ahead of us. Work together, lend a hand where you can, and show the world that you are “Proud ‘N’ Willing to

CONVENTION CHAIR: AMY HUNG Greetings Pacific Northwest District, I'm Amy Hung and I will be your Convention Chair for the 2016-2017 service year. Through my experiences, I plan to make DCON 2017 an even greater DCON than the year before. A goal of mine for Convention is to increase attendance and to strengthen workshops for all attendees. From serving as a member, club officer, Convention Aide, and now Convention Chair, I have learned that us Key Clubbers, all have the same objective. We all work together to make a dif-
ference in our home, schools, and communities. Like the great Troy Bolton once said, “we’re all in this together!” If you have questions about this upcoming District Convention, please feel free to contact me through Facebook, text, call, or email! In Love and Service,
