Greetings From Your LTG Hi everybody, I hope everyone had a great week at school. This summer vacation was one of the most relaxing vacations yet! As painful as it is to be back at school, Key Club season is about to kick off! And who’s not excited for Key Club season?! Just a reminder to bring your friends to those informational meetings that will be starting soon, it just might change their life. Also just a quick shout out to our divisional editor as well, Dickson Chen for working really hard on out divisional website. If you have any pictures from events that you want on the website feel free to email him or FB message him. Is contact information is on the website. I will be posting bimonthly updates, once after a DCM or big event and once again after the release of The Panda Herald. Also, the ALS ice bucket challenge. Hopefully you all have heard of this challenge by now. Well the ALS IBC has raised over 100 million dollars in just a week. Amazing right? I wanted to encourage all of you to keep up the good work! You all have been wonderful and remember to make they days count and not count the days. In Care, Love and Service, Lillian Sam LtG 22/24 KCI
“Key Club has given me so many opportunities to meet others all over the world” “I love Key Club because it allows for me to grow as a leader and serve my community all while being around amazing people”
“I love Key Club because of the personal development through leadership and service opportunities.”
There’s so many reasons to join Key Club, all these posters combine can’t truly explain what a wonderful impact we are making in the world, so take it from a peer.
JOIN KEY CLUB TODAY!

│August Recap│
│Canada Rally│ Did you know that the PNW District extends to Canada? That’s right! On Wednesday, August 20th, Key Clubbers from Division 13/15/17 and Division 18 gathered on the beautiful University of British Columbia campus to learn more about and celebrate service. Over 120 Key Club, Kiwanis, and Circle K members all came together to satisfy their Sweet Tooth for Service. They were able to raise $1221.43 for the Eliminate Project!
“
I was actually part of the planning committee that organized the event so seeing the actual event take place was definitely a worthwhile experience in it of itself. If I had to narrow it down, though I’d probably my favorite part was the opening session, specifically because I got to teach everyone the Key Club cheer

--Laura Chang Division 13/15/17
│Eastside Rally│ These aren’t your average knights in shining armor. Key Clubbers spring in to action at Eastside Rally! On August 16th Key Clubber from Central and Eastern Washington to the Panhandle of Idaho, Key clubbers met half way at Moses Lake High School. All proceeds went to The Eliminate Project of course!
“
My favorite part was how much we raised for The Eliminate Project, because we saved a lot of lives

--Bailey Duran LtG 54
│Joint DCM│ On August 30th Division 22/24, 26,27,28, and 32 came together in the pouring rain in the efforts to partake in capture the flag. Each participant donated 3 dollars in the efforts in saving a mother and child. With the most attendees division 28 truly showed their colors that day, and won 3 times in a row. Although the rain pour everybody had a wonderful time bonding with other divisions.
“
I really enjoyed the spirit between the divisions (especially D28!) and how everyone was playing and cooperating. I got to know the Seattle-area club members better, as well as save babies in the process, since all of the funds are going to the Eliminate Project! --Tyler Bosses LtG 35

Even though it was raining, the DCM was still really fun! I loved being able to play Capture the Flag with so many divisions. --Jessica Lou D32

A Message from the District Governor Dear PNW Key Clubbers, I hope everyone has had a great start of the school year, and you know what the start of the school year means... Your club’s first Key Club Meeting! Key Club is in full bloom, and I can’t wait to see what your clubs are doing for service and fundraisers! Remember, if you show how passionate you are for Key Club others will be inspired to join. Be proud to be a Key Clubber and remember to exemplify leadership and character, while always being inclusive and caring to those around you. Meeting all of you at the rallies was so inspiring; you are all constantly dedicating your time and love to the communities across the Pacific Northwest. I love how you represent key club with your pride and spirit while showing the dedication and compassion you hold for others. As always, remember the district board is here for the members and clubs. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your questions or concerns. I hope to see y’all at DCON 2015! Lisa Antonio
SPOTLIGHT OF THE MONTH This month’s Spotlight goes out to Roosevelt Key Club! Congrats to all of you Roughriders! Even before their first meeting Roosevelt KC had been volunteering, recruiting and promoting. On Tuesday before school even started RKC officers were up early in the commons running a booth at the club fair recruiting members and informing freshman and many others about the joy of key club! Last week on Sunday there were many who showed up for the Women or Wonder run at green lake. Our clubber woke up at 8am to get to the run that started at 9. They cut runner’s tags and cheered everyone on! On top of that RKC had taken on the challenge of hosting the September DCM, way to go RKC!
