Club Officer Elections The District Convention Training Policy
FROM THE DESK OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR To whom it may concern, At the beginning of this year, I've seen many club officers having issues understanding what it meant to be a Club President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer or Editor. These were people who volunteered their time and committed to giving service – not knowing what their job was about or what they needed to do. This year, all new officers will need to attend the 2012 Pacific Northwest District Convention. For incoming club officers, this convention will provide them with the training and tools needed to perform their jobs and grow their clubs. By doing this, we will ensure that each and every club officer is competent and capable of having a successful year. For candidates not able to attend the 2012 Pacific Northwest District Convention, please complete the following waiver. By signing this waiver, the candidate will agree to attend future officer training events. This waiver should be signed by the candidate's Parent, Faculty Advisor, Kiwanis Advisor, and School Principal. In a letter, each candidates must answer multiple questions including why they wish to run for office. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at giovannimc.keyclub@gmail.com

Best November 2011 Club Recap
?
November for Wilson Key Club is getting to the “how-do-I-feel” stage. Every key clubber is getting to know what Key Club really is, who we are, what we do and why. This was strongly influenced by our Lieutenant Governor, Giovanni McKenzie, by introducing Key Club and The Eliminate Project with a simple life-changing activity at his official visit to our school. Our Lt. Governor was accompanied by Jewel Bailey on behalf of Peninsula Kiwanis and assisted by Jim McAllister, Division 62 Area Administrator, to speak about the chartering / reactivation process. Services and Projects (varies on timeline): Key Clubbers volunteered at Farmer’s Market- Hollywood which involved interaction with different people. This was a rewarding experience for us and we also made a strong ties with their volunteer coordinator. Key Club Week was greatly emphasized. PURPLE AND PIZZA was the highlight. It showed Key Club Spirit and brought new guests to our meeting! Following that, Animal Shelter Volunteer Orientation at Animal Aid- Beaverton. Wilson Key Clubbers are really passionated about saving and caring abused and lost animals! We also experience the Oregon Food Bank- Beaverton rage! Our adrenalines went on 9am-11am repacking six thousand pounds of frozen french fries! It was a great feeling of knowing you fed 4,000 people with frozen quick paced hands Wilson Key Club is growing fast and wild! Recently, we had a class visit to advertise Wilson Key Club. Two groups of three covered the whole Wilson High School grounds under one hour. Students were amazed and stunned that there’s such thing as a club like Key Club that provides unlimited opportunities of service,leadership and enthusiasm! Even teachers were surprised and encouraged their students to come President of Wilson High School 4 to our meetings every Friday.

2011 DISTRICT PROJECT:
KIWANIS CHILDREN CANCER PROGRAM
ABOUT THE PROJECT The Kiwanis Children Cancer Program was founded by Governor Frank Morehouse of the Pacific Northwest District of Kiwanis International in 2010. Kiwanis Governor Frank’s inspiration was a young cancer patient named Penny. Governor Frank worked at the hospital where Penny stayed. Penny was diagnosed with a brain tumor and would require surgery and radiation therapy. Penny would visit Governor Frank during her hospital stays and talk about what was happening to her. Penny eventually lost her battle with cancer. The KCCP is dedicated to Penny’s memory. The new Pacific Northwest Key Club District Governor, Varun Awasthi saw the need for this project. Our Governor made it his duty to ensure that Key Clubbers across our district knew more about children’s cancer, and make our contribution to curing cancer.
How can you help? The two greatest contributions you could make is to: Help us educate Help us fundraise Sell KCCP Wristbands! (see page ) 10
The ELIMINATE PROJECT 2011-2012 eliminating neonatal & maternal tetanus WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A BABY’S LIFE? There are few events more joyful than the day a new baby is welcomed to the world. But in 38 countries, a dreaded disease quickly turns that joy into tragedy. Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every nine minutes — that's 60,000 babies every year who will never grow up, make their mothers laugh, play with friends or dream about the future. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. A significant number of women die from MNT each year too.
$1.80 (roughly) = 3 doses of tetanus vaccine
