The Jelly Journal Dear Division 30 It’s July! International Convention is over and now it’s time for me to concentrate on our Division! We’re in the midst of planning our Divisional BBQ, this is the first time we’re doing this as a Division. So talk to your Clubs, discuss what you want to do, and let me know either through e-mail or at the July DCM. Hopefully during the summer you have a project planned. Whether if it’s helping out as a project or fundraising for your Club or fundraising for DCON 2012. Start fundraising for 2012 District Convention early so we can have as many people represent Division 30! Save the date of August 15th, 2011 for Seattle Rally! The theme is Peace, Love, and Service! If you do decide to go, we’ll make tie-dye shirts for our Division! Make sure that you have 2 chaperones from each club too! More information is on page 9 of the newsletter. Secretaries – be sure to publicize Seattle Rally to your Clubs! Be sure to visit your Kiwanians, keep in touch with your Officers and to send them reminders throughout the summer!

Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program (KCCP) Inspiration: In 1964 PNW Governor Frank Morehouse had the opportunity to work as a Medical Technologist at Rogue Valley Medical Center, Medford Oregon, where he met Penny, a 10 year old brain cancer patient. His relationship with Penny and her fatal condition is the inspiration for this PNW District Program. Governor Frank is dedicating his Governor’s Program to the memory of Penny to help change the future for children suffering from cancer, especially brain cancer.
Goal: Support the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, Portland, Oregon. Mike Davis, President KDCCP, michael629@ccwebster.net
Support the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Fellowship Program at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Washington. Mike La Franchi, President KCCPNW, lafranchim@quidnunc.net
Support the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Fellowship Program at British Columbia Children’s Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia. Darlene Smith, President KCCPBCY, dar_smith@shaw.ca
"Fifty years ago, most children with leukemia lived less than one year, and almost none survived. Now, thanks to advances made at research and teaching hospitals like Doernbecher, most children with leukemia reach adulthood, cured of their disease." Dr. Linda Stork, MD., Division Head, Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital
Participation: Tour the Children’s Cancer Research Hospital in your area. • Sponsor a fundraiser for the Research Program – Walks, Bike Rides, and Relays. • Schedule a speaker from any of the Kiwanis Cancer Research Programs. • Make hats, trauma dolls, and quilts for children going through cancer treatment.
Reward: Gain satisfaction for changing the world one child at a time and making a real difference in the lives and future of children in each of our communities. “This PNW Kiwanis Program will continue for as long as there is the need to find cures for children’s cancer.” Claudell King, PNW Governor Elect 2010-2011.

To Serve, To Serve, To Serve the Children of the World!
Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to save the lives of babies and their mothers by eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus (MNT), a disease that kills an estimated 60,000 newborns and a significant number of women each year. MNT is easily prevented by a series of three vaccinations to women of childbearing age, costing roughly US$1.80.The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal/neonatal tetanus will raise US$110 million over the next five years to fill the funding gap required to provide an estimated 387 million doses of the vaccine. The Eliminate Project will deliver life saving vaccines to the most vulnerable women and children in the world: those in remote and difficult to reach areas; conflict zones; and with little access to healthcare.

2011 International Convention From June 26th to July 6th was the PNW District Tour for International Convention. We drove through Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Utah, and Idaho with stops in between and International Convention itself. The PNW District Tour was with about 50 people on a bus with semi working air conditioning. We all bonded and got to know each other so well. This tour was truly an amazing experience. A big “Thank You� to all the Kiwanians who supported me to go because without their support I would not have been able to experience International Convention. At International Convention, I learned a lot about the values of being a servant leader and about the ELIMINATE project. I also learned a lot from the workshops that I went to. At the House of Delegates, we added and revised current amendments. We also elected our new 2011-2012 International President, Annie Lewandowski, who is from the PNW District! We also have two International Trustees from the PNW District, Yoo Eun Kim and Josiah Zitterkob! This was an amazing experience and I suggest to everyone to try to attend International Convention next year. 2011 International Convention was held in Phoenix, Arizona but 2012 International Convention is going to be held in Orlando, Florida.

Bulletin Editors!
Secretaries!
This is something new for the Division, but I would love to get a copy of your Club Bulletins! Club Bulletins help me know what’s going on and that communication is going well.
Do not forget that your Club Reports are due th every 5 of each month! This includes the summer months too! Please do not forget to do them and get them done early so you do not have to worry about them! Jelly Board points will be given out if they’re turned in on time!
The first bulletin of the month is worth 25 points and any bulletin after is worth 10. If I don’t get a bulletin from your Club it’s -10 points. Just e-mail me a copy of your Bulletin whenever you finish it. I’m putting a limit of having one Bulletin per week though (e.g. 1 Bulletin per week for a 4 week month is 55 points). If you need help making a Bulletin or have any other questions, please give me a call or text or an e-mail!
It doesn’t matter if it’s late as long as you get it in! Submit them at pnwkeyclub.org/secretary_form.html Have questions? Don’t hesitate to call/text/email!
