Hello fellow Key Clubbers! My name is Patrick Old, your new Lieutenant Governor for Division 56 of the Pacific Northwest District Key Club! I am a junior at Pullman High School, located in Pullman, Washington and am looking forward to a fantastic year in service with all of you. Back in 2011, one of the members of the swim team I was on approached my friend Aneesh Pappu and I, and said we should join Key Club. It turns out that the member that approached us became the next Lieutenant Governor of Division 56, who then was later succeeded by Aneesh, who is now succeeded by me. That moment kick-started my journey down an incredible path, and I am so glad I am able to serve every member of Division 56 of the Pacific Northwest District Key Club on the district board. Key Club has brought me a number of memories I will never forget. From racing around the track for Relay For Life to helping organize a rummage sale in Pullman which proceeds helped save over 1600 lives from maternal and neonatal tetanus, Key Club has brought me times that will live in infamy in my mind.
Division 56 of the PNW consists of Pullman High School, Moscow High School, Kamiah High School, Lewiston High School, and Orofino High School. We are one of the eastside divisions of the district and like to celebrate this fact with one of our slogans, “Eastside Beastside!” Our Divisional Mascot is the Penguin. Although we are very spread out as a division we, like penguins, can come together in times of need to serve. Our Divisional colors are Blue and Yellow!
Club Officers, Faculty Advisors and Kiwanis Advisors! I need your e-mail address, phone number, home address, school address, meeting information (day, time, location), sponsoring Kiwanis club name, and their meeting information (day, time, location). If we wish to improve our division, we will need to strengthen our communication. This information is vital for our division’s success throughout the year.
The 65th Annual Pacific Northwest Key Club District Convention was amazing this year! This year, District Convention was held at the Sheraton in downtown Seattle, WA. This new venue proved to be an amazing place to hold District Convention, and it will be held there for years to come. With over 1700 Key Clubbers from all of the Pacific Northwest, the atmosphere was exuberant to say the least. The speakers at Convention were amazing, and the singer, Joseph Vincent, performed several songs which were incredible to listen to. Also at Convention, new club officers received training, which is extremely important and will help guide them throughout their term. If the training you received at Convention was unclear or you were unable to attend convention, please message me with any questions you have!
This last weekend at District Convention had a number of amazing moments, but one in particular stood out for Division 56. On Saturday evening, the winners of a number of Kiwanis scholarships were handed out, and one of the winners was no other than Makinze Gering of Orofino!! She is a highly valued member of Division 56, and has held a club office every year, including Treasurer, Vice President, and was President this last year.
Congratulations Makinze!!!
Dear Pacific Northwest District, The ending of District Convention is always hard, but it also marks the beginning of another Key Club year, and another year of service. If you have not already met me, I am Lisa Antonio, and I am honored to have the chance to serve as your District Governor for the next year. I am so privileged to be leading such a diverse and enthusiastic district, and I am excited to start building upon our strengths and creating new solutions for our district’s weaknesses. In this upcoming year I want to focus on clubs and members. I want to make sure clubs are thriving and increasing not only membership, but active membership. I want each club member to know the District Board is there to serve the members. I am inspired by the love and passion each one of you has for the act of service. Keep up the amazing work, and remember that ever single minute you spend serving the community is changing the world around you in a positive way. Remember to always keep service in your heart, and no matter what is going on in life, if you are serving, you can always find love. Keep in mind that in hard times, you always have your Key Club family to lean back on, and depend on. Know that the things you have done in Key Club, and the people’s lives you have touched along the way will never be forgotten. Once again I am so grateful to have the chance to serve all of you. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email, Facebook, or telephone! In Love and Service, Lisa Antonio Pacific Northwest District Key Club Governor
