Hey Division 33 Krakens! I want to start off by congratulating each club in the division for their first meetings. I was able to attend most of the first meetings and I'm so proud of all of you. Can't wait for more club visits throughout my term and to see how much hard work and dedication each club puts into service! Thank you to all of those who attended the Kickball DCM! I hope to see many of you at the October DCM which will be at Decatur High School. More details will be in this newsletter! Just remember to wear your best costume and come up with the best design to carve a pumpkin! With it being October, I'm sure most of us are ready for the Halloween season! But, I'm sure ALL of us are ready for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a great way to help raise funds for UNICEF that will go into projects such as the Eliminate Project. Get your boxes ready and help save babies! Speaking of the Eliminate Project, thank you to all of those who attended the Federal Way Big Pancake event on October 4th! Big Pancake was an event help by the Federal Way Kiwanis clubs that helped raise money for the Eliminate Project. There is still another Big Pancake event on October 11th starting at 8:00 AM at the Auburn Applebee's which will be hosted by the Auburn Kiwanis clubs. Come out! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me at any time. In Love and Service,
Greg Park Division 33 Lieutenant Governor Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

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.

Hey Key Club Treasurers! This is Aneesh Pappu, your district treasurer. I hope you are all having a wonderful and productive school year and, for all you seniors, I hope that college applications are going well! We are currently in the midst of my favorite time of the year – dues season! Dues season runs until December 1st and is the time frame in which all clubs must submit dues in order to be a part of Key Club International. Although there are many service organizations aside from Key Club that do not require payments to join, there is no group that provides you with the same level of opportunities as we do. When you pay dues to join, you’re joining an international organization with ties and projects all over the world. Your dues provide you with the opportunity to fundraise for projects such as the Eliminate Project in order to cure deadly diseases around the world. The benefits don’t stop there however; joining Key Club provides you and your club with resources to succeed. As a paid member, you and your club immediately receive the benefits of district support ranging from the help of your Lieutenant Governor and District Executive Officers to the aid of the adult Kiwanians who support us in each and every endeavor we undertake. As we enter October a very important deadline for dues submission is arriving – Early Bird dues are due November 1st. Although it is not required to meet this deadline, submitting your club’s dues by this time comes with a myriad of benefits, including priority seating at DCON and an Early Bird patch for your club’s banner. In order to meet this deadline, each club must submit $12.50 per member for at least 15 members through the Membership Update Center (MUC), which can be found at www.keyclub.org/MUC. If you have not logged into the MUC this school year yet, it is crucial that you sit down with your adviser, login, and begin the registration process. If you have any issues with login credentials, be sure to email memberservices@kiwanis.org and include me as well (apappu97@gmail.com). After the Early Bird deadline, the final deadline for dues submission is December st 1 . Unfortunately, clubs who do not submit their dues by this date will be placed on delinquent status, which can eventually translate into suspended and even inactive statuses for clubs. In order to avoid this, I highly recommend that you finish the dues process as soon as possible! I am also always available to assist if you have any issues, so don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or Facebook message if you ever need to! Happy Dues Season! In Caring & Service, Aneesh Pappu Pacific Northwest District Treasurer Key Club International1

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

Scare up some funds and fun this Halloween by participating in Trick-orTreat for UNICEF. It’s a great opportunity to collect donations instead of candy or to bring club members together for a fabulous event or party. All money collected by Kiwanis-family members through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF will once again support The Eliminate Project and help save moms and babies. Did you know? A proud participant in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF since 1994, Key Club has raised more than US$6 million for child survival and development programs around the world—from efforts to eliminate iodine deficiency disorder to HIV/AIDS initiatives in Kenya and Swaziland. Starting in 2012 Key Club joined other Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs to Trickor-Treat for UNICEF to raise money for The Eliminate Project.
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF
Starting September 2, UNICEF will be shipping coin boxes to clubs that have participated in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF during the past two years. A box of supplies should be shipped to your school by September 15. Find the list of clubs that will receive boxes at the following link: www.TheEliminateProject.org/trickortreat. Clubs can host a talent show, dance, trunk-or-treat, pumpkin carving or decorating contest, haunted house, zombie run— or whatever you think will be the most fun. Encourage sponsoring Kiwanis clubs to help and become eligible for the Unity Award. Finally, be sure to remind all clubs to submit donations along with the The Eliminate Project gift form.

Key Club Week gives you the opportunity to show your community what Key Club is truly about: service. Each day places an emphasis on service, to promote Key Club within our homes, schools and communities and to make Key Club a household name. Do your part to make sure Key Club Week—Nov. 3-7, 2014— starts Kiwanis Family Month with a bang. Join other Key Clubs from around the world by following the suggestions below. Check out the Key Club Week Manual for more ideas for each day and don't forget to tweet about it! Follow the #KeyClubWeek hashtag on Twitter.
Show your K in every way Show people what Key Club is all about! Spread the word by wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key Club Week in local stores, your school Web site, community newspapers— even on the radio. Officially announce Key Club Week in your community with a proclamation and refer to the Key Club public relations manual to get great tips on how to publicize Key Club in your community.
Kudos to the Key players Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teachers, advisors and other Key players. Write thank-you notes, host an appreciation dinner or do something uniquely your own style to recognize the contributions of these special people.
Connect the Ks Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and is a member of the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or Aktion clubs and team up for a joint service project.
Bring a friend to Key Club More members = more service. Increasing the amount of service Key Club performs increases the impact Key Club has on the world. Bring a friend, or two, or more to your next Key Club meeting.
Your way This is your club’s chance to do its own thing and make its mark. Pick a project, plan a recruitment party or combine activities from the other Key Club Week days. Whatever idea you choose, take it and run with it.
