Appointed Positions

Stumbling into that first key club meeting as a confused sophomore was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've ever made - one that has led to a myriad of amazing encounters, countless hours of devoted service, and an innumerable amount of life-shaping experiences. I'm so excited to be able to give back to this club which has provided me with so much! On the off chance that I'm not busy pouring my heart into Key Club, I'm probably enjoying science, friends, or cookie crisp. I truly can't wait for what will surely be the best year ever! –Communications Director

How's it going, Key Clubbers? My name is Athena Sok (but you may also call me Tina) and I have been blessed with the opportunity to be appointed as your K-Family Relations and International Projects Director! I reside in the city of Tacoma and I am a shark of Division 34. I bleed black and gold because I am an incoming senior at Lincoln High School. But enough about me, I am extremely excited to work with the district board this year AND to meet all of you! As your KFam/Int. Projects Director, I plan to significantly improve the relationships and communication between Key Club members and the K-Family branches. In this upcoming year, my plans include district wide events that allow Circle K, Kiwanis, and many more K-Family members to join together and share our love for service. These events will be put on in support of our preferred charities which will allow more K-Family members to join our cause! I am looking forward to a fun-filled and fantastic year with you all. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

Hey Key Clubbers, we have a single year left. In 2015 The Kiwanis family will turn 100 and The Eliminate Project will come to a close. Maternal /Neonatal tetanus is not waiting for us to act. We must fight quickly and together. Now that I sound like a dictator, I want to make sure you know me! I am Ben Scranage, your 2014-2015 District Projects Director. I want to work with each and every one of your clubs to make sure that the Pacific Northwest reaches their goal of fifty thousand dollars this Key Club Year! I promise you that even though I live in the small town of Harrisburg, Oregon, just outside of Eugene, I will be there for any of your questions at any time of the day. My phone number is (541) 220-0066, and my email is ben.scranage74@gmail.com. Reach out and don't feel like a stranger.

I'm really interested in programming and making things/engineering which I'd like to use to make a positive impact in the world and on the lives of others. I really love being part of an organization that is making such a huge difference in the world with the help of so many other people. –Membership and Growth Director

Convention Team!

Hey PNW! My name is Cleo Tsang and I'm currently a junior at Kentridge High School from D32 and throughout my high school career I have served as a class rep, historian (it's a position ok), vice-president, Convention Aide, and now Convention Chair! This year, I will be in charge of planning the 66th Annual District Convention and honestly, I am so excited! I hope that this will be the best convention ever! My Key Club journey so far has been nothing short of amazing, and I owe so much to this district. But aside from Key Club, I like tennis, bread, potatoes, coffee ice cream and hippos. I am also a part of DECA, NHS, Robotics, ASB, and my local youth group. I am so honored and grateful to be serving as the Convention Chair and I hope to make you guys proud!

Hey! I'm Jag and I'm your Convention Aide! I'm really ecstatic to be on the board and ready to put on the best DCON ever! I'm a runner and I love listening to music! Most of my free time is spent on going to all of my home key club's service projects… because, well...Key Club is life! My favorite color is aquamarine and I'm super random and charismatic with most anything! I look forward to becoming best friends with all of you Key Clubbers! Agapé!

Hello PNW! I’m Ryan Miura and I’m one of your Convention Aides this year who will help plan the 66th annual District Convention. Key Club has had a huge impact on who I am, and I hope I can continue to grow and learn from my experiences as a part of the K-Family. I love trees, cats, and meeting my fellow PNW Key Clubbers so holla at me if you happen to see me and want to talk! I’m pumped to represent the most loving and spirited division around, Division 66, so let’s work together to have a great year of service!

“Hello Division 9! So I am your 201415 District Projects Director. If I was an up and coming Key Clubber I would look at those words and say “this guy must think he is such a cool kat, I bet he even made his own address label (I have).”

But honestly, no. I want my job to simply be a stepping stone for you to achieve greater heights in The Eliminate Project and any school project you attend this year. The greatest thing about this organization is that it really doesn’t matter if you are a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, dweeb, nerd, hick, or jock, because if you have taken the initiative to come this far in the Key Club, you are on an equal level with everyone else in it! This of course means that we as one body have the power to raise 50,000 dollars in the PNW for The Eliminate Project this year. By the end of 2015, I can assure you that Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus will be eliminated from the face of this earth. Be on the lookout for this year’s merchandise, it is going to be sold at International convention, along with your local rallies and club meetings during the school year! Add me on the internets and make yourself an ex stranger to me. I can’t wait to work with you this upcoming Key Club year!”-

In Caring Service, Ben Scranage

Omak Key Club Received a $500 grant from Kinross for their outstanding efforts in helping the community. They had the most Key Clubbers show up to my DCM. Also, they have done five service projects this past month, with a service hour count of 38 hours.

Jag Bains As a dedicated VicePresident, he shined bright, attending all of the Key Club meetings, and all of the service projects. The time and effort that he has put into Key Club has paid off because he is now one of two Convention Aides. He now works alongside me on the PNW District Board. Our very first appointed position from Division 9!

You so fine!
