FIRST DIVISIONAL POTLUCK
One of the goals set out by our Division was that we needed to try and create a more closer connected divisional bond between the schools in our division. In order to try achieve the closer divisional bond, there was a divisional potluck hosted at my house early in the month of April. In total, 22 people attended the potluck which just consisted of food, hide and seek, and Cards Against Humanity. Overall, the Potluck was just a gathering to get Key Clubbers within the division closer together.

One baby dies every 9 minutes from neonatal tetanus
160 babies die each day from Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus
38 countries remain at high risk for MNT
Kiwanis will help save or protect more than 61 million mothers and their future babies
On average, health education and a series of three doses of tetanus vaccine
cost $1.80
I am proud to announce that this year’s new District Project will be The Eliminate project. You may ask: Why The Eliminate Project? The answer to this is, every 9 minutes, one child or mother dies from What is known as MNT (Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus). This painful disease steals the lives of 60,000 babies from their families. In 30 countries around the world, MNT takes on a large toll because of deliveries taking place in unhygienic circumstances and because no vaccination for the deadly infection is available. The effects of this infection is excruciating. Tiny new born babies suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch, turning the joy of childbirth into a tragedy. What we need to do as key clubbers, is to change this. As part of the largest student led organizations in the world, we can ELIMINATE this deadly infection. With just 3 does of a 60 cent immunization, we can protect mothers who will in turn protect their future offspring. That’s just $1.80, about the price of a small coffee from Starbucks, or a small burger. Together with our Kiwanis counterpart and UNICEF, we can end something that can be prevented so easily. We are the mighty Pacific Northwest District of Key Club international. With over 12,000 members in our district, and just $2 per member, we can raise over $24,000 which in turn will prevent more than 13,333 mothers and their future newborns from getting this deadly disease. WE CAN DO THIS.
Welcome, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR!
We’re proud of you, Katie!
Think you have what it takes to be a leader? Need some refining? Not sure how to get there? A Key Leader weekend can show you the way. You’ll learn how to be the very best you can be—the best friend, the best leader, the best member of your community and your world. Three days of workshops, campfires and being around people just like you. You’ll learn valuable leadership skills and meet people you’ll never forget.
The next key leader event is in Corbett, OR from October 18-20th. Register online at keyleader.org. For any questions, contact me
“Key Leader creates a comfortable setting that helps everyone discover talents within themselves. It was the spark that changed who I was and paved a brighter future for who I can become” - Erich Sneller, Nebraska-Iowa District Governor
