Message from your outtie Hello D33, It’s been awhile since the 68th Annual District Convention ended. With that being said, I enjoyed serving as your Lieutenant Governor for this past service year. It means so much to me that I was able to have this honor as a student, member, and leader. I hope you all enjoyed your year with me and learned many things that will be beneficial to your future. I hope that I am leaving a legacy as the previous Lieutenant Governors did, I hope that I did well for every Club to the best of my abilities. Thank-you so much for being amazing members. You guys did so well during KCCP week and brought so much joy and fun to every single DCM and Area events. I’ll save most of my speech for Kyoko’s first DCM, can’t get all sappy yet, haha. Although the year was short, I made so many memories with you all, I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for the upcoming year. Good luck to Kyoko! Just know if you need anything, I’ll be here! Anyways, I love you guys so much. Key Cub means so much to me and I hope it means a lot to you too. As always, have a fun and safe rest of the school year. In love and service, Yuri Yi Immediate-Past Lieutenant Governor of Division 33 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International 04:D
Message from your innie Hey Krakens! My name is Kyoko and I am beyond honored and ecstatic to begin my journey as your Lieutenant Governor. I’d like to start by saying a huge thank you for electing me to represent you and our division. I cannot wait to get to know all of you! I’m currently a Junior at Federal Way High School. I was the Editor of my school’s Key Club Freshman-Sophomore year and President my Sophomore-Junior year. Now, my term as Lieutenant Governor is in full swing, and I am ready to bring my 210% effort to help you serve our community. Some goals I have for this year include uniting our Division more, improving our relationship with the PNW District and Seattle Area Divisions, and sending every club in our Division to DCON 2019. Let’s head into this term with smiles on our faces and passion filling our hearts. Be ready for a term filled with service and fun! J I look forward to working with all of you. In Love and Service, Kyoko Hall Lieutenant Governor of Division 33 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

Say Hello
Hello, Pacific Northwest! My name is Ingrid Redford and I am both honored and humbled to be your 2018-2019 District Governor. Key Club has the ability to make an impact on hundreds of thousands of people. Over the past year, our district contributed over 92,000 service hours through our service to our homes, schools, and communities. As Key Clubbers, we make not only a large impact on our world, but also on individuals. With this being said, Key Club has shaped me into the person I am today and has taught me the value of service, leadership, and commitment. I plan to utilize my experience and insight as a member, club secretary, lieutenant governor, committee chair, and now, a District Governor, to implement growth and expand our district. My goals for this year are centered around a five-part plan that will advance our district progress through communication, resources, enhancing knowledge, growth, and leadership. These goals are focused on the inverted pyramid structure of Key Club, placing the emphasis on how we as a district can further serve our members, while fulfilling the mission of Key Club: service. Myself, along with the other Executive Officers, are here to serve you and want to hear voices from throughout our district. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or the other Executive Officers. We are just a text, message, call, or email away. Thank you and I look forward to meeting, talking, and working with you throughout the year! In Care and Service,

Greetings, PNW! My name is Brandon Orick, and I’ll be serving as your 2018-2019 District Secretary. I am beyond excited to engage in this position and grow this coming year. I believe my past experience as Lieutenant Governor of Division 70 has equipped me with the skills necessary to fulfill my position on the Executive Board. By utilizing monthly Secretary Reports to pinpoint specific issues that individual clubs are facing, the Executive Board can formulate strategies to help address these concerns. Serving as your secretary, I will act as a liaison between your club and the PNW District. I will work to insure that each club in need of assistance is heard and their issues are addressed. Through Key Club, I have learned the true meaning of service, and the true meaning of caring for one another. As secretary, I will be able to work closely with individual clubs and even individual members, creating strong relationships. I want to focus on being accessible to anyone who needs information or assistance, ultimately bridging the gap between the district and club level. I will strive to keep bettering the organization that has given me so much. In Key Club, no goal is too high and opportunities are endless. I am inspired by Key Clubbers on a daily basis and am ecstatic to be able to work alongside you for this next year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me, I am willing to help any way I can! In friendship and service,
Brandon Orick

Hello Pacific Northwest! My name is Julie Lely and I am honored to be your 2018-2019 District Editor. I’m so excited to embark on this journey alongside you all, and to make this upcoming Key Club year one filled with unforgettable and impactful moments. Key Club has enabled me to meet amazing people, make memories I will treasure forever, and learn from the myriad of events I’ve attended—all while making a positive impact on my community. Through my 3 years of being a Key Clubber, I’ve learned to serve with a purpose, and support causes that help others in our world. This year, I hope to focus on the members to insure that their voices are projected and heard. I hope to highlight the amazing things YOU guys are doing to help your communities, as well as capture the incredible effects of those efforts.

Hello, PNW! My name is Andy He and I am so excited to serve as your 2018-2019 District Treasurer. I believe that having served as club treasurer to my own Key Club has given me the skills and the confidence to assist and lead treasurers across our great district. Throughout this year, I hope to set up a network of communications between myself and all club treasurers, enabling the sharing of successful strategies and tips so that we may all better execute the duties of treasurer. One of my main goals is to structure the role of a club treasurer to encompass three core areas: basic duties, fundraising, and membership. Some of the basic duties of a club treasurer include a detailed understanding of the dues-paying process, the chartering process of a club, and maintaining the club budget. Fundraising tasks would involve utilizing available resources to enhance the quality of service projects and fundraisers, or even applying for a PNWOF grant through the District. Finally, the membership component of a treasurer's role incorporates analyzing club strategies for active member involvement, club growth through recruitment, and discussing ways to boost membership retention with other club officers. Please remember that I am always here as a resource for all of your questions and concerns throughout this whole year. I know that dues season for treasurers can get very hectic, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me to request guidance on specific issues, offer tips, or if you just want to talk in general. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
To Your Executive Board
In Friendship and Service,
Andy He
