Hello, Division 66! Wow. Can you believe it? We are on our final month of summer vacation before school comes along to end it. Time definitely flies when we’re having fun and serving the community! July and August have been busy months for Key Clubbers. Within Division 66 itself, an Officer Training Conference was hosted. These officers who attended are now more prepared than ever before to bring their clubs to the next level. Also, following the training was the K-Family barbecue. Thank you for all of those who went to this event! It was so nice playing games with you all and seeing you all enjoy yourselves! With school quickly approaching, we are at the ideal time to start thinking about recruiting more people into Key Club. Think about why YOU love Key Club so much and tell prospective members about all of the opportunities and memories Key Club can provide to enhance one’s high school experience. More members build stronger clubs that strengthen our international organization and widen the scope of our impact. Start recruiting new members today! With all that in mind, I wish you all a very happy and fun rest of your summer! See you all when school is back in session! Yours In Caring Service,
Brian Le 2014-2015 Lieutenant Governor of Division 66

“Good Time” by Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen After having so much fun at the July DCM, I was reminded that, with Key Clubbers, it’s always a good time:
“Doesn’t matter where, it’s always a good time there Doesn’t matter when, it’s always a good time then We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time” Key Clubbers always know how to have a good time. It truly doesn’t matter where; it truly doesn’t matter when. From DCMs to Summer Rallies to soup kitchens to service projects, Key Clubbers always make good use of their time helping the community while having lots of fun!
On Saturday, August 2nd, the officers of Division 66 gathered at the Gresham Library for an Officer Training Conference. These officers learned about the basics of Key Club International, the duties of each officer position, and opportunities offered by Key Club—such as the ELIMINATE Project and District Convention. To start off the training, a Key Club 101 was presented. Things like Key
Club International’s structure, three preferred charities—UNICEF, March of Dimes, and Children’s Miracle Network—and International Board were discussed.
OFFICER TRAINING CONFERENCE
recap
Next, the training covered the duties of each officer position. From main tasks to reports, all these officers better understand each position’s important role in the club.
Lastly, the officers picked up some final tips and went into more depth about the ELIMINATE Project and District Convention. A huge congratulations to the officers of Centennial, Clackamas, Corbett,
Gresham, Reynolds, and Sam Barlow for being in attendance!

a message from our District Governor
LISA ANTONIO Hey Key Clubbers, Summer is finally here, and I hope all of you are kicking back and relaxing after a long school year’s end. All of you have put so much effort into the last school year, from taking AP and IB classes, to being in multiple clubs and activities, to all of your endless community service that you have done. To the seniors, a special congrats on finishing high school. You guys have worked especially hard. I hope the memories of the last years in high school will carry with all of you, and I hope you know all the service you have done in the last few years, has been changing the lives of others.
To the club members, remember that when the sun is out, it is a great chance to grab a few friends and serve, and that service doesn’t end when the school year does! Continue all of your hard work because when you give a little love, you get a little love back, when you give a lot of love, you get a lot of love back. The amount of effort you put into serving is the amount you get back, from seeing a smile from the kid who just got a card at children’s hospital, to packing a meal for a hungry family who lives in the neighborhood. The more and more you serve, the more and more you will see the community being affected, by the love and service you give to it. Remember that when you serve, give your whole heart to the project or fundraiser, and the results will soar. You are the change, with every good deed you do, no matter how big or small, helps the people around you. From right around the corner to half way around the world, you guys are truly admirable. You give more than anyone could ever see or know, you guys don’t wish that you had the power to change the world, you know you have the power to change the world. Thank you all so much, and just remember, what you share with the world is what the world keeps of you.
Lisa Antonio,
Pacific Northwest District Governor
Hey, Pacific-Northwest! My name is Tashrima Hossain, and I’d like to introduce myself as the new International Trustee for your district. It is such an honor to be in your service, primarily by ensuring that your voices are heard at the international level during the upcoming year. I’m excited to join the PNW moose; I’ve already received so much enthusiasm from the Board, I’ve heard many great things about PNW, and I can’t wait to see all the great achievements your district has in store. To let you know a little about myself, I am from Cypress, Texas, which is a suburban area adjacent to the Houston border. In addition to Key Club, I devote much of my time to debate and Student Council— which often leaves with very little time for sleep! As a result, I’m a bit of a grandma, and I like spending much of my free time sleeping, reading, or just hanging out with friends. For those of you who would like to know more about my duties as International Trustee, I have a few basic responsibilities: attending International Board meetings, participating in a maximum of two district visits, and acting as a representative of the international level of Key Club. In addition, Governor Lisa and I completed a Governor-Trustee agreement, which identified the main expectations Lisa has of me, as your district’s Trustee; many of said goals revolve around constant communication and building positive Sister District relations—all of which are means to ensure that I effectively represent your views on the international level. Additionally, I serve with Jenalee Beazley, Rip Livingston, Liz Moore, and Nicole Lema on the Growth and Communications Committee. There, we predominantly focus on fostering a connection between advisors and Kiwanis clubs, making Key Club a school-wide name, creating a “cool factor” for Key Club, empowering local clubs to publicize their work, creating a strategic growth plan for KCI, and creating an annual club census. We already have a very specific set of goals and action steps for the first quarter; I plan to update you all with any progress in that arena. During my term, I will stay committed to the goals I campaigned with, but more than that, I intend to actively serve as a resource for you all. If you have questions about amendments, elections, service, or general Key Club knowledge, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here as a resource, friend, and assistant in any way you may need. Call me, email me, Facebook me— I’m always ready to lend a hand.
