Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for electing me as your Lieutenant Governor.
Hello Ninja Pandas! My name is Lily Du and I am your Lieutenant Governor for 2017-18. I am ecstatic to be in this position and I can’t wait to work with all of you and the Divisional Board to bring our Division to even greater heights! As we celebrated our past year of service at the 68th Annual Pacific Northwest District Convention, make sure to reflect on your experience! I hope all of you had a unforgettable time, exploring Key Club from a different perspective. If you weren’t able to attend, do not fret! This year will be jam-packed with interactive DCM’s, fundraisers, and Canada Rally. Take these opportunities to learn, grow, and explore the deeper roots of Key Club!

Now heading into my final year, I want to share my passion for service with all of you, in hopes of helping to find YOUR Key Club moment. A few of my other goals include increasing club relations, strengthening the K-family and boosting active membership within our Division.
I can’t wait for this journey to begin.
In Caring and Service,

When I joined Key Club 3 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing, but here I am now, Celine Co, proud to serve as one of your 2017-2018 term Executive Assistants. I don't know what pulled me towards Key Club. Was it gravity? Who knows! All I know is that I fell for this club. I fell in love with the people, the sense of community, and the message <3. This love for Key Club only grew when I attended my first DCON, where I was inspired by the passion for service that radiated off of the Key Clubbers I met there. This was my Key Club moment. Whether it happens at DCON, at a DCM, at your home club, or during a volunteer event, I want to help you find your Key Club moment. The divisional board is here to support you, so never hesitate to ask any questions! Definitely feel free to message me about anything Key Club related (especially treasurers!! I know the struggle). Let's have an amazing year!

Dmitri Saberi
Hello, PNW! My name is Dmitri Saberi, and I am so honored and excited to be serving as your 2017-2018 District Governor. Key Club is an organization that is not just capable of creating incredible opportunities- it is capable of changing lives. I have definitely had a life-changing three years of service, and am looking forward to another amazing year! Through my experience as a member, Lieutenant Governor, and now, a District Governor, I have gotten the opportunity to see Key Club from several different angles. What all those perspectives had in common was their focus: making a positive impact on those around us. My core plan as District Governor is centered around that, and I hope that we can create that impact as a District this year. But throughout my term, please keep in my mind that I am also a member just like you. Never hesitate to shoot me a text, email, or message with questions, concerns, or if you just want to talk! I am always here for you all, and one of the most rewarding parts of Key Club for me is connecting with you guys. Thanks so much, and I look forward to seeing you, talking to you, and working with you throughout the year!
In love and service, Dmitri Saberi District Governor Pacific Northwest District Key Club International Email: governor@pnwkeyclub.org Phone: (509) 715-7475
Hello PNW District Key Clubbers! My name is Brian Nguyen and I am thrilled to be serving as your District Treasurer for the 2017-2018 Key Club term. I can’t wait to connect with all of you and bring our district to greater heights! Some of my goals for this term is to continue serving our communities and increase communication with you, the members, to ensure financial transparency. I hope to educate and update you all through my quarterly Treasurer Snapshots, which will have information that will help you increase your club’s financial success. This will be my fourth and final year in Key Club. Before serving as District Treasurer, I was honored to have the opportunity to serve as a Lieutenant Governor and Divisional Executive Assistant. The most important thing I’ve learned during my Key Club journey is that the members are the core of our district, and assisting you in any way possible will continue to keep us as the Pacific NorthBEST! If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk, feel free to contact me at any time. In the end, I’m just another Key Clubber who’s eager to serve the community and meet new people! In care and service,
Brian Nguyen

Hello Pacific Northwest! My name is Kaho Otake (Yes, it does start with K, just like Key Club) and I am beyond honored and humbled to be serving as your 2017-2018 District Editor! While I may not be a familiar face to everyone, I, along with rest of the Executive Board, am Proud N’ Willing to Serve each and every one of you. For the past three years, Key Club has been a central part of my life: it taught me the value of service, perseverance through obstacles, and commitment to a cause. This year, my goal is to connect I, myself, to U, through inviting, Informing, inspiring, and uniting all members. I can't wait give the attention and publicity that the Espresso deserves, and I hope you are just as excited. You can usually find me at Key Club events, camera in hand - so, don’t hesitate to say hi! Thank you! In Love and Service,
Kaho Otake VOLUME 5—ISSUE 1

Hello hello, PNW! My name is Ashley Villanueva and I am both humbled and honored to be serving as your District Secretary for the 2017-2018 service year. Key Club has given hundreds of thousands of high schoolers across the globe the opportunity to be a part of a something much greater than they thought— the largest student-led service organization in the world. Because of this, we have all been impacted through the power of service. And this is what motivates me to not only serve you as a District Board member, but to connect, assist, and relate to you in any way possible!
Ashley Villanueva
As I am entering my last year in Key Club, I hope to utilize my past experiences as club vice president and lieutenant governor, to the best of my ability while serving as District Secretary by increasing the bonds, communication, and voices heard around the district, while simultaneously being the support system to secretaries and ultimately the members. It may seem daunting to think about the “Executive Board” and the hierarchy of Key Club, but honestly, no title or position will define how we are all a part of the 270,000+ members in Key Club International. Keeping this in mind, you will hear or see this a lot by supposed “higher-ups”, but we really do mean it when we say to not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have. Reach me through text, email, social media, or snail mail! Thank you for reading! I look forward to working with the rest of the District Board to ensure that you have a fun and successful service year. In Caring and Service, Ashley Villanueva District Secretary Pacific Northwest District Key Club International
