Happy May! Thank you for such an amazing month in April. Although my term is just kicking off, I already feel the immense love and support from you all! I am grateful that I serve for passionate people like you. Throughout April, many clubs have been involved in different projects and service events, which I am very proud of! It has only been a month since I have been in term, but I can see clubs growing well. I hosted my first DCM at Gresham Library and it was wonderful to be able to bond with a lot of the members. Special shout out to the lovely Kiwanians who attended, Mr. Berg and Ms. Parsons, and for speaking about OHSU and Key Leader. Not only did they support me at my first DCM, but they have been updating and keeping in contact with me and to see how we are doing. I want to thank you, Kiwanians, for always being there for me and the clubs, we truly appreciate it. May will be a jam-packed month as well! Knowing that there are many service projects going on, I am looking forward to seeing what you will achieve! The May DCM will be the annual Division 62&66 DCM at the Portland Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon! We will be serving at Water Stations. This will be a great way to do service and meet other Key Clubbers from around our area! I hope to see you all there! Again, I would like to thank you for making the first month of my term run smoothly. Good luck with all your AP, IB, Smarter Balance, tests, quizzes, exams! You can definitely do it! Yours in Caring Service,
Bailey Chen
2015-2016 Lieutenant Governor or Division 66

BRIAN NGUYEN//DIVISIONAL ASSISTANT One more month until summer! I hope everyone who had AP testing this month did well. I'd like to thank everyone who went to the last DCM, it was fun just chilling and doing ice breakers with you all. I know that many of you haven't met me in person yet, so if you go to the next DCM (Rock 'N' Roll Marathon), don't be afraid to say hi!
RACHEL COYNE//DIVISIONAL EDITOR April showers bring May flowers and AP testing. I hope everyone did well on their exams and good luck to anyone taking the SAT/ACT. I'm excited to see you all at this May DCM and hopefully it won't rain this year. Can't wait to see you there!

The first DCM of my term! We did multiple icebreakers such as Honey, I love you, Key Club Stories, and more! Of course, thank you to our Kiwanians for attending and providing some food! Hope to see you all at the May DCM! Also, thank you Clackamas for bringing the most members!

Jina is a senior from Centennial Key Club, and one of the most dedicating Key Clubber’s I’ve seen, attending many service events her home club hosts.
“Jina goes to almost every event and is one of the best members at Centennial KC. We will miss her when she graduates this year. :( “
Laura is from Corbett Key Club, she helped raise a lot of their Bracelet for a Cause fundraiser! Go Laura 07
