FROM YOUR LT.G Message from your Lieutenant Governor Greetings everyone! It has been an amazing first month as serving as your Lieutenant Governor! I have been blessed with the opportunities to meet and work with some of you, and can I just say, you guys are amazing! I was able to reach most of our clubs this past month but I will work to have contact with everyone by the end of the next month! I look forward to meeting all of you!! To officers: Congrats on completing the first month of your terms! I cannot believe that it’s already been a month. The first month was an interesting one full of challenges and fun experiences! Remember though, it only gets easier from here! As you’re beginning to get a hold of things, make sure that you are setting yourself up for success! Stay on top of things and stay organized. Organization will make your lives infinitely easier. As the first month has passed, some of you may have experienced difficulties and felt a bit overwhelmed. Take a deep breath and relax! You’re just now starting, again, it only get better from here! Remember that you’re never alone and that there are always people to talk to, like me! Contact me any time you’d like! Make sure that you’re setting up good habits and goals for yourselves for your terms! “Expect the best, but prepare for the worst.” In Care and Service,

Jimin Lee

Lieutenant Governor of Division 70

ELIM District Project: The Eliminate Project

With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Neonatal tetanus kills one baby every nine minutes—nearly 60,000 newborn children every year. A significant number of women also die due to maternal tetanus. The effects of the disease are excruciating—tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. To eliminate MNT from the Earth, 129 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take $110 million—and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family. Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, together, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. In doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.

FRIENDSHIP Meet new people and make new and strong friendships within the division!

INCREASED MEMBERSHIP Increase the amount of consistent members in clubs!

ATTENDANCE AT DCON 2015 We only had seven attend DCON 2014! Let’s aim to at least double that for next year!

MORE SERVICE Throughout this year, let’s impact our communities greater than ever before!

ROSHNI CHANDWANI From Your International Trustee, What Makes Key Club Unique 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 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
