My name is Reanna Le and I am very excited to be the new Divisional Editor for Division 66. As editor, I plan on capturing/sharing all the fun, memorable, and possibly embarrassing moments of our division. In my two years as a Key Club member, I have created many unforgettable memories and my goal is to work with the divisional team to ensure that you guys create many great memories to look back at. During my term as editor, I'd love to meet all of you, so don't be afraid to contact me and for those of you who have not met me, I am currently a sophomore at Clackamas High School. Along with Key Club, I'm apart of Student Council and have been a Girl Scout for 7 years. On my free time, I enjoy watching basketball, football and binge watching movies on Netflix. I also have an obsession for boba tea, mac n cheese and Kit Kats and you will probably run into me at the mall or restaurants, so never hesitate to say hello! I'm looking forward to the amazing year with our wonderful division and cannot wait to serve you guys!

Maternal/neonatal tetanus is a deadly disease that attacks newborn children, causing to suffer tremendous pain as soon as they’re born and causes them to die soon after. Every 11 minutes 1 baby dies from MNT, this adds up to 134 newborn children dying daily, and approximately 49,000 dying per year. Kiwanis and UNICEF have been partners since 2010 in order to achieve one goal: eliminate maternal/neonatal tetanus. The ELIMINATE Project set a goal of $110 million was and Key Clubbers throughout the world fundraised to meet this goal. Finally on March 23, 2016, the fundraising goal of $110 million was met.

PNW GOAL OF 2015-2016: $75,000 WE MADE‌
