KEY LEADER AMBASSADOR: DEENAH HOWARD Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers! My name is Deenah Howard and I am beyond thrilled to serve as your 2016-2017 Key Leader Ambassador. Simultaneously, I am the Lieutenant Governor of Division 35. The match that started the fire to fueled my ambition to run for Lt.G then to apply for Key Leader Ambassador was lit when I attended Key Leader in Fall of 2015. It permanently changed my life in the most positive and influential way. I will work closely with the District Board and Kiwanians to ensure that YOU have the opportunity to attend this unbelievable week-
end and experience the motivation that drives the greatest leaders. If you have any question to what Key Leader is, please feel free to contact me at any time through email or phone. As a leader, I do not want followers, but to create more leaders. In love and service,

This year is going to be extraordinary. With the FiveYear Plan already in full motion, my goal is to further strengthen the connection between all the branches of Kiwanis. With implementing more interclubs throughout the district, this will create and ensure the strong bond we have with our Kiwanis Family.

I've already encountered many enthusiastic executives and motivated members, so with this strong team of dynamic Key Clubbers, we can work to-
gether to create the best this district has ever seen. If you have any questions or just want to talk, please do not hesitate to reach out to me, I’m only a message away! In Caring and Service,

MEMBERSHIP GROWTH AND REACTIVATION DIRECTOR: STELLA GONZALEZ Hello T here M y Fellow PNW Key Clubbers, Stella Gonzalez is the name and Key Club is my game. Service is something I have always valued over all other traits and I am very excited to serve as your Membership Growth and Reactivation Director for this upcoming year. Even though my title may seem long, convoluted and frivolous I assure you that my job is to help you guys make all of your jobs easier. My role will be to help charter new clubs, reactivate suspended or inactive clubs, and to generally oversee the growth of our very own Key Club family. Yes, I have a goal in mind to the amount of key clubbers I would like our district to achieve this year; but what is more important to me are the kind of people and personality traits we are adding into our district. The words you will hear from me a lot are -�quality over quantity� and that is a personal philosophy of mine that I think will apply well into the PNW District. I am so happy for this op-

portunity and extend the invitation for anyone to reach out to me if you have any ideas, concerns, input, etc. you would like to be heard. Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me.
With Love and Service,
Stella Gonzalez Stella Gonzalez PNW District Membership Growth and Reactivation Director Key Club International (425)499-9156 stella.pnwdistrict@gmail.com
