Hello Fellow Lady Bugs! Dear Lady Bugs, I hope you guys had a wonderful month, filled with joy and love. As you all may know this will be my second newsletter to you. So far I have loved being a part of our division. By the end of my term I want to know every single one of you. Because, without the members we would be nothing. The members are the most important part of Key Club. I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read through my newsletter. I also want to thank you for being part of our wonderful division and allowing me to serve as your Lieutenant Governor. I look forward to many more wonderful months. In Caring Service,
Karla Bedolla

Key Leader What is key leader you may ask? Key Leader is an opportunity for students to experience a variety of different activities and exercises that explore service leadership, their values, and the central concepts. This is also a great opportunity to make new friends. This will also help your love for service grow even more. Don’t be afraid, we are all a big family.

A Message From Roshni What Makes Key Club Unique? Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world, but what makes it so special and what enables it to continue to grow? It can’t be the ability to volunteer because no matter where you go, you can find a way to give back to your community. You can even volunteer globally through UNICEF, Rustic Pathways, and other worldwide organizations. What makes Key Club is different from every other organization out there is the tight-knit community that it creates between people who live on opposite sides of a city, a state, a nation, or the world. To fully seize the opportunities that Key Club provides high school students, it’s important for everyone to be involved with their divisions, their district, and international. You can get involved with Key Club International by attending Key Club events, joining social media sites that are created to link together Key Clubbers from all over the world, and talking to your district leaders! In terms of the division, your Lieutenant Governor should be having Divisional Council Meetings every so often in order to bring the entire division together. Your division is composed of the schools around you that have Key Clubs. At these meetings, take advantage of the close distance between you and the other Key Clubbers in attendance. Arrange meet-ups, socials, and joint volunteer projects to increase your impact
6 on your community and meet people who you otherwise would have not had the chance to meet! In terms of your district, the Pacific Northwest District is composed of all of the Key Clubs in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon, as well as some of the clubs in western Idaho, northern California, and Canada. There are rallies in the summer for all Key Clubbers in a specific region to attend and meet new people. At these rallies, you’re bound to have an amazing time while also learning about Key Club International through educational forums. Each year, PNW also hosts District Convention: an exciting weekend in which Key Clubbers from all over the district unite to celebrate the end of a wonderful year of service and prepare for the next one. If you have the chance to attend District Convention, I highly recommend it! Yours in service, Roshni Chandwani International Trustee Roshni.chandwani.kc@gmail.com

Eliminate Project Eliminate Project is designed to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Neonatal Tetanus kills one innocent baby every nine minutes. Not only does this kill the baby but it also kills the mothers. In order to remove this from our planet we need to raise enough money to give to poorest and most neglected places. With this money vaccines will be given as well as food and transportation.
Join the fight now, and let’s remove MNT from our planet forever!

Summer Service! This summer I want our division to come closer than ever before. For our first project we should look at areas that need cleaning. We can also plant more flowers and trees. Summer is such a beautiful time we need to get out and enjoy the sun. If you have any more ideas please feel free to tell me. The more ideas the better. Lets all come together to make our homes look better than they have before. Lets give back to the community. At the end of each project we will have a picnic at the park as well as a few fun activities, so be prepared to have a fun and exciting summer in service.
