Message from the LTG! Owlets! Thank you so much for reading this newsletter! During September, each club kicked off the year by holding their first meetings! October however, is the month of falling leaves, homecoming, Halloween, and of course, Eliminating MNT! I hope all of you can make it to the public October DCM on the 24th (see page 9 for more details). Additionally, it is DUE season (see page 7 & for treasurers page 17 )! Due to that, let’s try and get all dues in by November 1st! I will award 50 Owl Points for each club that has at least 15 members paid by November 1st and 25 pts if they are paid by Nov. 20th! Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure to turn in Secretary and Presidents reports (pg 12). Lastly, in September I awarded Owl Points and a special prize to each club member that sent in the password. This months challenge is to find the secret code and submit it here. You can get UP TO 30pts per member and a special treat at Skate to Eliminate! In Loving Service, Jocylin Binkier Jocylin.binkier@gmail.com (360) 624-7851 33
ABOUT TRICK-OR-TREAT Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began in 1950 as a way to help kids who need more than candy. Since then, children all over America have gone door-to-door on Halloween with UNICEF collection boxes, calling out, "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!" They have raised more than $170 million for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF since 1950. Runs from October 1st-31st! All Proceeds will go to the Eliminate Project!

Message From the District Treasurer!
Hey Key Club Treasurers! This is Aneesh Pappu, your district treasurer. I hope you are all having a wonderful and productive school year and, for all you seniors, I hope that college applications are going well! We are currently in the midst of my favorite time of the year – dues season! Dues season runs until December 1st and is the time frame in which all clubs must submit dues in order to be a part of Key Club International. Although there are many service organizations aside from Key Club that do not require payments to join, there is no group that provides you with the same level of opportunities as we do. When you pay dues to join, you’re joining an international organization with ties and projects all over the world. Your dues provide you with the opportunity to fundraise for projects such as the Eliminate Project in order to cure deadly diseases around the world. The benefits don’t stop there however; joining Key Club provides you and your club with resources to succeed. As a paid member, you and your club immediately receive the benefits of district support ranging from the help of your Lieutenant Governor and District Executive Officers to the aid of the adult Kiwanians who support us in each and every endeavor we undertake. As we enter October a very important deadline for dues submission is arriving – Early Bird dues are due November 1st. Although it is not required to meet this deadline, submitting your club’s dues by this time comes with a myriad of benefits, including priority seating at DCON and an Early Bird patch for your club’s banner. In order to meet this deadline, each club must submit $12.50 per member for at least 15 members through the Membership Update Center (MUC), which can be found at www.keyclub.org/MUC. If you have not logged into the MUC this school year yet, it is crucial that you sit down with your adviser, login, and begin the registration process. If you have any issues with login credentials, be sure to email memberservices@kiwanis.org and include me as well (apappu97@gmail.com). After the Early Bird deadline, the final deadline for dues submission is December 1st. Unfortunately, clubs who do not submit their dues by this date will be placed on delinquent status, which can eventually translate into suspended and even inactive statuses for clubs. In order to avoid this, I highly recommend that you finish the dues process as soon as possible! I am also always available to assist if you have any issues, so don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or Facebook message if you ever need to! Happy Dues Season! In Caring & Service, Aneesh Pappu Pacific Northwest District Treasurer Key Club International apappu97@gmail.com 17 17
