Hello From Your LTG Hello, D33! I hope everyone had a fantastic May. School is out in a couple of weeks, and I’m pretty sure we can all agree how happy we are! It’s finally summer! Although school is out, that doesn’t mean we’re on a Key Club break! I highly encourage your club to stay active and hold club meetings and participate in service events throughout break. Staying active during the summer is one of the best ways to start keep your members engaged. Also, officers ARE still required to do their reports. Sadly, we will not be having a June DCM. That being said, we will have a July and August DCM! So stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I hope you have a fun and relaxing start to your summer. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns, or just to talk J In Love and Service,
Kyoko Hall Lieutenant Governor of Division 33 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

Member Highlight-
Tiffany xayavong & her Key Club Story
As almost half of the members in Key Club did, I joined my freshman year as well. I only joined because I wanted to be cool like my cousins but I never really knew what it was about. As I kept coming to more meetings and volunteering more I thought to myself "maybe this is one of the clubs that'll stick with me for the rest of my life" and it honestly has. Key Club has been a life changing experience for me in high school and I don't regret joining it one bit. It also wasn't a mistake running for club office as well from becoming an appointed officer sophomore year to now being a president 2 terms later, I'm happy and proud to say that Key Club has actually been there for me since day one. From meeting new friends within our division and out to helping third world countries eliminating MNT and helping them receive clean water to drink, I can say not only has this club been life changing to me but I know it has to others as well. As this is my last year full term(2018-2019) of being in key club I would just like to say Division 33 will always have place in my heart, whether it's the memories we've made at summer rallies, winning spirit battles at DCON, or even hearing the key club chant at our DCMs, I'm so glad to be apart of this division and I wouldn’t see myself anywhere else. WHO ARE WE? 33!
The May DCM was a success! Thank you to everyone who came out. Justin and I hope you learned some new things about Key Club and of course, made some new ‘sisters’!
