Hello my awesome platypuses! Looks like this will be the last time I’ll be saying this. Thank you Wahluke HS and Sunnyside HS for turning in their secretary reports on time! It may be summer but you still need to send them reports! Remember it’s best to turn it in rather than never!

School is coming in less than month! It’s time to start prepping for the new year! School supplies, new clothes and of course Key Club! The PNW and I have some useful resources for you! Most importantly, Eastside Rally is coming in a few days. It is like a mini-DCON with fun and informative forums to help with your year! There will be many Key Clubbers you’ll meet near you! Keep reading for more information on the rally, NEW and USEFUL resources and the Hawk LOGO contest! In love and service,

Hienschi Nguyen

Hello Key Clubbers! My name is Addison Clipfell and I’m the 20152016 International Vice President. I’m so excited to serve alongside Rip and all of the trustees for the upcoming year. My role as Vice President is often one of ambiguity but I hope to change that this year. This year I will be working on many things including: chairing the Committee for Service and YOF, being a liaison to the Western Canada district, writing a monthly blog, reading governor monthly reports, serving on the executive committee, and much more. If you have any questions about my role this year, please feel free to ask! Some fun facts about me are that I play the violin, I work at Old Navy, I love Sudoku, I have a dog named Roxy, and I absolutely love Key Club. Well, you knew that last one right? I truly hope I can inspire and aid all of you in sparking an enthusiasm for Key Club in your members. This is extremely important to create long lasting connections and it is key to keeping members in the k-family. Also, I hope all of your unique clubs continue to do amazing service in the upcoming year and share that with me along the way! Most importantly I want you to know that while I hold the office of I.V.P, I’m still a regular teenager. I think history is boring, stress about college applications, fan-girl over Fall Out Boy, have a job, and love to serve. I’m just like all of you! I want to be a supporter, a source of encouragement, and a Vice President all wrapped into one. So, with that once again feel free to contact me anytime. My contact info is below. I can’t wait to have an amazing year of service!
