DIVISION 7
What’s Happeni
WHAT?
BIG changes have been made that will ultimately make our Division stronger as well as ensure the success of the Division’s future! A “new” Division 70 has been made with a combination of the old Division 68 and Division 70. The members and clubs of both divisions have now come together to form a single division that is recognized as Division 70.
WHY?
The reason for this merger is because John Kendall, Lieutenant Governor of Division 68, and I believed that Division 70 and Division 68 had grown weaker rather than stronger. We believed that one bigger and stronger division is better than two smaller, mediocre divisions.

WELCOME TO DCON. District Convention is the yearly gathering of the Pacific Northwest District of Key Club. Three days, two nights of chanting, learning, growing, and bonding—it doesn’t get any better than that. The 66th Annual District Convention will take place from March 13th to March 15th, 2015 at the Washington State Convention Center and Sheraton Hotel in Seattle, WA. This year’s theme emphasizes the members who go an extra mile to explore the endless boundaries of service:
SERVICE TO ∞ AND BEYOND
ELIM District Project: The
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.
