MNT results when tetanus spores, which are present in soil everywhere, enter the bloodstream.

It is mainly caused by a lack of access to sanitary birthing conditions, unclean instruments used to cut the umbilical cord and unclean post-partum cord care.

Once the disease is contracted, the fatality rate can be as high as 100 percent in underserved areas.

Most mothers and newborns who die of tetanus live in areas of Africa, South Asia and East Asia, where many woman are poor, having little access to health care, have unlimited information about safe delivery procedures and continue harmful cord care practices.

Every 11 minutes, 1 baby will die due to MNT. It only takes $1.80 to save a mother and her future children.

Lieutenant Governor Elections

Where: Federal Way Regional Library When: January 10th, 2015 Time: 1:00 PM Why: To elect the 2015-2016 Lieutenant Governor Who: Candidates, 2 Delegates per school, members, officers, Kiwanians With the end of my term approaching nearer and nearer, it is time to have elections for the 2015-2016 Lieutenant Governor! Each club is REQUIRED to send 4 attendees and 2 of them have to be delegates. Your club decides who votes, but I encourage Underclassmen to attend the election rally. Only 2 delegates per school are permitted to vote.

"Do you love Key Club? Do you enjoy volunteering? Have you been to all, if not, tried to go to all of the DCM’s this past year? Do you want to better the organization at a higher level?

Overlook the seven high schools in our division? Or be the leader of the Krakens? If you said yes to all of the questions above and have ever considered, even for the slightest moment, to run for Lieutenant Governor… DO IT. I can assure you it will be the most unforgettable year of your high school career because it was for me. The experience of working with the district board is like none other. Beyond the cool and official looking badge, you will gain life long friendships and lasting memories. Currently a college student, I constantly finding myself reminiscing about my term as LtG. It was that great. So don’t be afraid to step up and turn in that candidates packet!“ - Amy Nguyen, 2012-2013 Lieutenant Governor of Division 33

“Running for the position of LtG had a huge impact on my life. The only hard part about running for this position was actually making the decision to run. I learned skills in communicating with others and it helped me take risks that were out of my comfort zone. Trust me, I was not the type that was able to talk in front of people, or the one that would act enthusiastic. To add, the relationships and connections that I have created through this position is what stood out to me.

During my term, I was able to connect with others that had the same outlook or similar goals for their community. Attending college, I am still in touch with many of the other key clubbers and LtGs. I highly encourage anyone and everyone with a strong passion for this club to run for LtG, as it is truly a great learning experience.”

- Edward Park, 2013-2014 Lieutenant Governor of Division 33
