Table of Contents Hello Division 50, My name is Jayleen Leon and this will be my second term as your Lieutenant Governor. I am very excited to personally meet you! I know our division does not really interact but this year I am hoping to fix the gap.

My main goal this year is to bring all the clubs in our division Sunnyside, Wahluke, Cle Elum/ Roslyn, Prosser, Grandview, Ellensburg and West Valley together. This year we had great attendance at DCON. I am so proud we had almost 20 people there.

DCON 2014

What was your favorite part about DCON? Andre Cavazos First time attendee, incoming president, Sunnyside High School Key Club The forums and the positive spirit! Especially the speed mingling and everywhere you went or everyone you talked to was very positive and had enthusiastic personality and encouraged each other to embrace the key club spirit Jasmine Paxton First time attendee, incoming Vice President, Sunnyside High School Key Club I think the introduction was great. I was hit with different emotions and it reminded me why I do key club. It was fun and hilarious but it gave me the truth and it reminded me of the happiness that comes with fixing peoples scars and wounds.

Hello, Goodbye Wow! It’s been a whole year! I would like to say that I am very appreciative of these four role moles. For a year they have each taught me something different.

Trang Tran has been such a great role model who has taught me that I can do amazing things.

Hakikat Bains, who was never afraid to talk to anyone or have some fun, Eric Grewal, who serve as my older brother taught me it’s okay to be nerdy and to always keep it classy. Sara Thomas, who taught me to love graphic standards. I am blessed to have spent my term with these four who have helped improve our district.

Thank you for all you have done.

Lisa, Ik Hoon, Aneesh and Jenny, welcome to the district board!

A few words…

Dear Pacific Northwest District, The ending of District Convention is always hard, but it also marks the beginning of another Key Club year and another year of service. If you have not already met me I am Lisa Antonio, and I am honored to have the chance to serve as your District Governor for the next year. I am privileged to be leading such a diverse and enthusiastic district and I am excited to start building upon our strengths and creating new solutions for our district’s weaknesses. In this upcoming year I want to focus on clubs and members. I want to make sure clubs are thriving and increasing not only membership, but active membership. I want each club member to know the District Board is there to serve the members. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email, Facebook, or telephone!

Hi, everyone. My name’s Ik Hoon Jung from Southridge High School in Beaverton, OR (Div. 65), and I’m excited beyond words to serve as your District Secretary. I’ve been an enthusiastic member of Key Club since freshman year, and it is truly a dream come true to be in this great position. I hope my term can bring about great positive personal growth in both myself and other Key Clubbers, and I won’t let you down!

Hello Key Clubbers! My name is Aneesh Pappu and I am the incoming District Treasurer. I am so honored and grateful to serve you all for the 2014-2015 term and I look forward to what we will accomplish together! One of my main goals is to actively educate club treasurers so that dues collection is easy and efficient for all clubs in our district. I also plan to effectively monitor the budget of the board and to oversee all fundraising efforts for the district project this year. In addition, I intend to play a very active role in working with growth committees on the district board to increase membership within our district. I want you all to know that I am always available to assist you with any and all problems that you may have in your clubs. Feel free to give me a call anytime, even if you just want to chat, and add me on Facebook! I look forward to meeting you all this year.
