Real Time with your Lt. G. Hello Key Clubbers! So close to the end of the school year, I wish you all an incredible and memorable summer vacation. Just preceding vacation, I wish everyone luck in getting through this last week of school. I want to thank you for all your service for this school year and I hope to see all you non-seniors next year! If you find yourself in town during the break, I strongly encourage you to stay active in community service. Recruit some friends in helping with the local soup kitchen or food bank and make it a group activity! If you have any questions between now and the beginning of the school year, I am happy to answer them. Just shoot me an email! Thank you Division 72, I cannot wait to see all your lovely faces next year! In love and service,
Greeting from District Appointed Officers | Convention Aide | Jag Bains Division 9 Email: the.jag.bains@gmail.com Hey! I'm Jag and I'm your convention aide! I'm really ecstatic to be on the board and ready to put on the best DCON ever! I'm a runner and I love listening to music! Most of my free time is spent on going to all of my home key club's service projects..because, well...Key Club is life! My favorite color is aquamarine and I'm super random and charismatic with most anything! I look forward to becoming best friends with all of you Key Clubbers! Agapé!
| Convention Aide| Ryan Miura Division 66 Email: ryanmiura0241@gmail.com Hello PNW! I’m Ryan Miura and I’m one of your Convention Aides this year who will help plan the 66th annual District Convention. Key Club has had a huge impact on who I am, and I hope I can continue to grow and learn from my experiences as a part of the KFamily. I love trees, cats, and meeting my fellow PNW Key Clubbers so holla at me if you happen to see me and want to talk! I’m pumped to represent the most loving and spirited division around, Division 66, so let’s work together to have a great year of service!
| K-Family Relations Director | Tina Sok Division 34 Email: sok.athena@gmail.com How's it going, Key Clubbers? My name is Athena Sok (but you may also call me Tina) and I have been blessed with the opportunity to be appointed as your K-Family Relations and International Projects Director! I reside in the city of Tacoma and I am a shark of Division 34. I bleed black and gold because I am an incoming senior at Lincoln High School. But enough about me, I am extremely excited to work with the district board this year AND to meet all of you! As your K-Fam/Int. Projects Director, I plan to significantly improve the relationships and communication between Key Club members and the K-Family branches. In this upcoming year, my plans include district wide events that allow Circle K, Kiwanis, and many more K-Family members to join together and share our love for service. These events will be put on in support of our preferred charities which will allow more K-Family members to join our cause! I am looking forward to a fun-filled and fantastic year with you all. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
| Communications Director | Anav Gagneja Division 44 Email: anavgagneja@gmail.com Stumbling into that first key club meeting as a confused sophomore was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've ever made - one that has led to a myriad of amazing encounters, countless hours of devoted service, and an innumerable amount of life-shaping experiences. I'm so excited to be able to give back to this club which has provided me with so much! On the off chance that I'm not busy pouring my heart into Key Club, I'm probably enjoying science, friends, or cookie crisp. I truly can't wait for what will surely be the best year ever! \_(ăƒ„)_/ÂŻ
| District Project Director | Ben Scranage Division 74 Email: ben.scranage74@gmail.com Hey Key Clubbers, we have a single year left. In 2015 The Kiwanis family will turn 100 and The Eliminate Project will come to a close. Maternal /Neonatal tetanus is not waiting for us to act. We must fight quickly and together. Now that I sound like a dictator, I want to make sure you know me! I am Ben Scranage, your 2014-2015 District Projects Director. I want to work with each and every one of your clubs to make sure that the Pacific Northwest reaches their goal of fifty thousand dollars this Key Club Year! I promise you that even though I live in the small town of Harrisburg, Oregon, just outside of Eugene, I will be there for any of your questions at any time of the day. My phone number is (541) 220-0066, and my email is ben.scranage74@gmail.com. Reach out and don't feel like a stranger.
| Membership Growth and Reactivation Director | Suvir Copparam Division 28 Email: copparam.suvir@gmail.com I'm really interested in programming and making things/engineering which I'd like to use to make a positive impact in the world and on the lives of others. I really love being part of an organization that is making such a huge difference in the world with the help of so many other people.
Purpose:” Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.”
Need: “To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 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 US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.”
How to Give: Online Donation Form: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/kifeli2/ Cash or Check: Please make checks payable to Kiwanis International Foundation and write “The Eliminate Project” on the memo line and mail to: The Eliminate Project c/o Kiwanis International Foundation 3636 Woodview Trace Indianapolis, IN 46268
