LAST GREETINGS FROM 2015-2016 YOUR Hello Division 66, Wow, a year flew by! I remember just planning for my first DCM and creating my first newsletter, and of course, seeing each of you guys as the year progressed. I am tremendously proud of every single club, officer, and member, for taking the initiative to lead the club and taking time out of you days to help others and brighten their days. I cannot express how much I love and cherish you guys. You guys are the reason why I look forward to every DCM and making every newsletter to recap everything that you have accomplished. You guys are my inspiration, your smiles and laughter, all the pictures and service projects, I will never forget all the beautiful memories that my term has given me. I am so thankful for all of you, especially the Kiwanians who have spent endless hours supporting me and the Division. I’ll see you in the future! The March DCM and DCON, and hopefully many times after that as well. Please stop by to take a selfie with me at DCON ď Š L-O-V-E, I love my D-I-V Yours in Caring Service, Bailey Chen 2015-2016 Lieutenant Governor of Division 66

LT. GOVERNOR AND EXECUTIVE BOARD Hey Division 66! This will be my last message to you as Executive Assistant, which is sad to say. However starting from the next newsletter, they'll be done by me! I hope to serve this division well as your next Lieutenant Governor (after DCON, of course). This past month has been very interesting, and I can say my term with you guys will be lots of fun! February's DCM was super fun, so many people showed up and l was happy to see all of your cool hugme signs. Have fun using them at DCON! While we're on the topic, DCON 2016 IS IN 8 DAYS! I can still remember how I felt going to my first DCON last year, and I can honestly say I'm even more excited for this year. I hope to bond with the attendees from 66 this year, show off that giraffe spirit!
March means spring is on the way and time to spring towards service. DCON is only days away and I can't wait to see all of you there! Congratulations to Brian Nguyen for being elected as the new Lieutenant Governor. I'm so proud of how much he's grown in the past year. And thank you Bailey Chen for a wonderful year of service. Thank you to all who attended the February DCM and see you guys at the March DCM. Are you guys ready for DCON? See you there!

What are your favorite Key Club memories? “Seeing a wonderful club grow tremendously during the past year has been such a privilege. It's truly bittersweet that this is my last year in Key Club, and I'm confident that it will continue to flourish with even more passionate members. Just like how I discovered my passion for service through Key Club, it has been a pleasure to see many others filled with compassion and love through volunteering.” - Lauren Phan, Clackamas Key Club
“Most memorable moment in key club this year so far is helping people with friends” - Nathaniel Chan, Centennial Key Club “My favorite key club memory from this year would have to be key leader hands down! I really hope that more people for division 66 can make it in the future!” –Nicole Philpott, Corbett Key Club “Honestly, Key Club has changed the outlook of my perspective on high school. I necessarily didn't have much to do, or was in interested in life. Key Club has changed that for me, I've been engaged in so many work, and volunteering. I even have done many Key Club activities before I even attended high school. Key Club has also made it so much easier to be around people for me, as to say, I am always working with new and friendly people every time in this club. I got to meet so many wonderful and superfluous people. I am looking forward to DCON and the upcoming years for me within Key Club and high school. Shout out to Kenny Chu, and Amanda Ly for inspiring me to get involved in Key Club.” - Michael Vu, Centennial Key Club
