International Convention
Your International President, Maria Palazzolo!
Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers! Over this past week, I along with 39 other PNW Key Clubbers and six Kiwanis chaperones had the opportunity to attend the 71st annual International Convention in the vibrant city of Anaheim, California. While there, we had the opportunity to attend educational workshops, meet Key Clubbers from across the world, and elect the 2014-2015 Key Club International Board. I am truly humbled and honored to announce that I was chosen out of a field of four other highly qualified candidates to be your next International Vice President. My biggest support throughout the entire journey, from the moment I decided to run until my name was announced on stage, was the entire Pacific Northwest District. So let me take this time to thank every single one of you- all 13,000+ members. It was your support that got me through not only ICON week but the months leading up to it. Thank you to everyone that messaged be “good luck� and to all of those that congratulated me afterwards. Even though many of you did not attend ICON 2014, I still felt as if all of you were alongside me. I look forward to personally thanking many of you as I travel to some of the upcoming area rallies. To all the graduating seniors, even though I will not have the opportunity to serve you for this upcoming year, I hope that many of you will decide to join Circle K in college and eventually Kiwanis. Once again, THANK YOU to the mighty Pacific Northwest District! I look forward to yet another fantastic year of service, friendship, and growth not only for Key Club International but also for our district! In Service,
Kevin Zhang Key Club International Vice President zhangkevin2015@gmail.com 360.250.3999

Walk to Eliminate will take place Saturday, July 19th from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Omak High School Track. We will be raising funds for our District Project, the Eliminate Project. You might be thinking, how does this “Walk to Eliminate” work? Here is a link to the pledge sheets that need to be filled out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GCR pIr8c1gABVHGukJCMDDjjBlzc_quttwvjRCMbdP 4/edit You will be raising money depending on how many pledges you can get. Donors can either give you a flat fee or donate based on how many laps you walk. For example, if someone wrote .05 cents for per lap, and I walked ten laps, I would go to them after Walk to Eliminate, and they would donate .50 cents towards the Eliminate Project. I highly encourage getting friends or family members involved. Feel free to print out pledge sheets for them too. Also, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Omak Key Club Omak has been an outstanding club in Division 9. Just this past month they participated in three service projects. That might not seem impressive, but the total number of service hours Omak Key Club accumulated was 316.
Kelsie Coffell As the newly elected VicePresident, she has been hard at work. Not just performing her duties as vice-president, but going above and beyond. She chaired the first ever ice fundraiser for Omak Key Club, and helped raised roughly $213. She was the only Key Clubber to attend all three days. Kelsie has attended every service project Omak has held as well. Her leadership skills have shone to everyone, specifically incoming freshmen because she has recruited some freshmen already! The future looks bright for Omak Key Club.
