Real Time with your Lt. G. Hello Key Clubbers! As the month of May has begun, I will start scheduling club visits with presidents so I can get to know everyone better. I want to initiate discussion about a divisional project for the upcoming school year. As we say good bye to schoolwork and look forward to warm summer days, we should also think about summer key club events! This is the first year we are participating in Rally in the Valley and I am exciting to share some more information with you all at our DCM! In love and service,
What Makes Key Club Unique? Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world, but what makes it so special and what enables it to continue to grow? It can’t be the ability to volunteer because no matter where you go, you can find a way to give back to your community. You can even volunteer globally through UNICEF, Rustic Pathways, and other worldwide organizations. What makes Key Club is different from every other organization out there is the tight-knit community that it creates between people who live on opposite sides of a city, a state, a nation, or the world. To fully seize the opportunities that Key Club provides high school students, it’s important for everyone to be involved with their divisions, their district, and international. You can get involved with Key Club International by attending Key Club events, joining social media sites that are created to link together Key Clubbers from all over the world, and talking to your district leaders! In terms of the division, your Lieutenant Governor should be having Divisional Council Meetings every so often in order to bring the entire division together. Your division is composed of the schools around you that have Key Clubs. At these meetings, take advantage of the close distance between you and the other Key Clubbers in attendance. Arrange meet-ups, socials, and joint volunteer projects to increase your impact on your community and meet people who you otherwise would have not had the chance to meet! In terms of your district, the Pacific Northwest District is composed of all of the Key Clubs in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon, as well as some of the clubs in western Idaho, northern California, and Canada. There are rallies in the summer for all Key Clubbers in a specific region to attend and meet new people. At these rallies, you’re bound to have an amazing time while also learning about Key Club International through educational forums. Each year, PNW also hosts District Convention: an exciting weekend in which Key Clubbers from all over the district unite to celebrate the end of a wonderful year of service and prepare for the next one. If you have the chance to attend District Convention, I highly recommend it! Yours in service, Roshni Chandwani International Trustee Roshni.chandwani.kc@gmail.com

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.”

Farewell from Michaela
It has been such a pleasure serving you as your lieutenant governor this past term. Although I feel as if I did not have the chance to get to know or personally serve each of you, I am proud to be from such a service orientated division. I know there are many things that our division has to improve on, but I am so glad that we are one step closer to joining our division to Key Club International. I am confident that Becky will serve you to the best of her ability, joining you all closer than ever before. Words cannot explain what Key Club has done for me these past four years, and I know that if you allow yourself Key Club could be an integral part of your life as well. I wish you guys the best, and I will always be here if you need anything! In service, Michaela Kurinsky-Malos Immediate Past Lieutenant Governor Division 72
