Greetings Lieutenant Governor: Greg Park Hey Krakens, Hope you all are enjoying your summer thus far and had a great 4th of July! It may be summer, but the service in Key Club still continues. I encourage all of you to keep serving within your school and community. I recently came back from attending the Key Club International Convention in Anaheim, California. It was an amazing experience and I hope that all of you will have the opportunity to attend future Conventions throughout the years. At the Convention, we voted and elected the new International board. The Pacific Northwest District is proud to have one of our member, Kevin Zhang, serving as International Vice President for 2014 - 2015. I am so proud of Kevin and his accomplishments and I know that he will do wonderful things for all of Key Club International. Also, with it being summer, it is rally season! Seattle Rally is one of the biggest events our district holds and I am incredible honored to serve as Co-Chair for this event. I hope to see many members of Division 33 attend! All club officers in the division are required to go! I hope you all enjoy “The Summer Issue� of my newsletters! You guys are awesome, keep doing you! In Love and Service,
Greg Park

Greetings District Governor: Lisa Antonio Hey Key Clubbers, Summer is finally here, and I hope all of you are kicking back and relaxing after a long school year’s end. All of you have put so much effort into the last school year, from taking AP and IB classes, to being in multiple clubs and activities, to all of your endless community service that you have done. To the seniors a special congrats on finishing high school, you guys have worked especially hard. I hope the memories of the last years in high school will carry with all of you, and I hope you know all the service you have done in the last few years, has been changing the lives of others. To the club members, remember that when the sun is out, it is a great chance to grab a few friends and serve, and that service doesn’t end when the school year does! Continue all of your hard work because when you give a little love, you get a little love back, when you give a lot of love, you get a lot of love back. The amount of effort you put into serving is the amount you get back, from seeing a smile from the kid who just got a card at children’s hospital, to packing a meal for a hungry family who lives in the neighborhood. The more and more you serve, the more and more you will see the community being affected, by the love and service you give to it. Remember that when you serve, give your whole heart to the project or fundraiser, and the results will soar. You are the change, with every good deed you do, no matter how big or small, it helps the people around you. From right around the corner to half way around the world, you guys are truly admirable. You give more than anyone could ever see or know, you guys don’t wish that you had the power to change the world, you know you have the power to change the world. Thank you all so much, and just remember, what you share with the world is what the world keeps of you.
Lisa Antonio, Pacific Northwest District Governor

Tour Recap International Vice President: Kevin Zhang Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers! Over this past week, I along with 39 other PNW Key Clubbers and six Kiwanis chaperones had the opportunity to attend the 71st annual International Convention in the vibrant city of Anaheim, California. While there, we had the opportunity to attend educational workshops, meet Key Clubbers from across the world, and elect the 2014-2015 Key Club International Board. I am truly humbled and honored to announce that I was chosen out of a field of four other highly qualified Right: Maria Palazzolo (Key Club candidates to be your next International Vice President. International President) My biggest support throughout the entire journey, from the moment I decided to run until my name was announced on stage, was the entire Pacific Northwest District. So let me take this time to thank every single one of youall 13,000+ members. It was your support that got me through not only ICON week but the months leading up to it. Thank you to everyone that messaged be “good luck� and to all of those that congratulated me afterwards. Even though many of you did not attend ICON 2014, I still felt as if all of you were alongside me. I look forward to personally thanking many of you as I travel to some of the upcoming area rallies. To all the graduating seniors, even though I will not have the opportunity to serve you for this upcoming year, I hope that many of you will decide to join Circle K in college and eventually Kiwanis. Once again, THANK YOU to the mighty Pacific Northwest District! I look forward to yet another fantastic year of service, friendship, and growth not only for Key Club International but also for our district! In Service,
Kevin Zhang Kevin Zhang Key Club International Vice President zhangkevin2015@gmail.com 360.250.3999

The Elimina 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.

Structure Club Key Clubs are established in a high school or equivalent institution, or a communitybased club may be chartered. Elected officers can include president, on or more vice presidents, secretary, treasurer, editor and one director from each class. Division Each district is divided into territories called divisions, made up of various clubs. Each division has a lieutenant governor, a student leader who carries out the district’s policies and provides support to the clubs. District A district is sometimes defined by state or nation and tends to match a similar Kiwanis district. Each district is chaired by a governor, elected by delegates at the annual district convention International Key Club International encompasses all clubs within the group’s 33 organized districts and in foreign countries that are not included in any specific district. Key Club International is led by its international board, which is comprised of a president, vice president and 11 trustees, all students and active Key Club members.
