J E S S I CA
2015-2016 PACIFIC NORTHWEST DISTRICT BOARD HEY BUMBLEBEES!! Oh, how I missed all your lovely faces! After returning from Winter Board in Astoria, Oregon, I realized how proud I am to be a part of such a spirited district and a hard-working division! I can't wait for you all to meet the incoming District Board! They are extremely welcoming, crazy and unique in their own ways! Your chance to meet them is just around the block, HOWEVER, all the DCON attendees in our division MUST attend the Pre-DCON Rally(2/21). Come for a chance to meet all the other DCON attendees, receive spirit packs and other gear and to get yourselves ready for DCON! PLEASE come prepared with your own club cheers as well! Let's make the biggest comeback in the history of all past DCONs! We'll show them what we got! On March 7th, we will also be holding an Awards Ceremony to recognize yet another phenomenal year, so mark the dates in the calendar and come celebrate with us! I AM SO PUMPED FOR DCON!! For all you newcomers, I promise you that it's going to be one of the best experiences you'll have, and for the past attendees, I can't wait for you to make even more unforgettable memories! With Love & Service,
Jessica Bae

THE ELIMINATE PROJECT WHAT IS THE ELIMINATE PROJECT? With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
WHAT IS MNT? MNT is Maternal Neonatal Tetanus. MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach and those without health care.
IS ENOUGH TO SAVE A MOTHER & HER FUTURE BABIES!

INTERCLUBS 12
Jackson has always been like Lynnwood's sister club in like a homies-forlife kind of way. Getting to do an interclub event with them on Martin Luther King Day was just meant to be. Our clubs worked hard together to help beautify the park ,which was a fantastic experience to help out our community by planting and cleaning up the environment, and we further solidified our clubs’ soul sister bond. Our next step now is to work together to rock the house at DCON in March! – Monina Nepomuceno
In January, Mariner Key Club volunteered at the Everett Food Bank! This was actually an event that Jackson Key Club invited us to do with them! We helped sort out food that would later be distributed to people and families in need! Plus, we got to meet a bunch of awesome Jackson Key Clubbers! Thank you Jackson Key Club for inviting us to this service project! We hope to do more interclub projects in the future! – Honglam Van

The main event for the month of January for Lake Stevens Key Club was the interclub hosted by Jackson Key Club. The experience was great and gave our members a chance to meet members from other clubs. It was like a baby DCM and has inspired some members to attend the March DCM! It was great to see the LTG elect in action and even though we didn't get to plant many apple trees, the experience was still fun and exciting! – Ambur Staab
Jackson Key Club held their first divisional interclub! With the participation of four different schools in the division, we all had a great time getting to know one another. It was muddy, cold, and extremely wet but members were able to bond and support each other through all the difficult tasks we did. We picked rags, dead plants, and more off of the ground so that Farmer Forest and his crew could plant apple trees for the upcoming season. Although we didn’t plant apple trees until the very end, it was still a fun and memorable experience! It was WONDERFUL getting to know all of you bumble bees! Can't wait to see y'all at DCON! Jackson would love to do another interclub before going to DCON so if anyone is up to help us help the Girl Scouts sort out their extremely delightful cookies, please contact me as soon as possible! – Vania Park

SUMMARY: 5 out of 11 schools in Division 21 were represented at the JANUARY DCM! Members got to ice skate at the Lynnwood Ice Skating Rink and meet other Key Clubbers throughout our division. It was a DCM filled with selfies with strangers, falling first time skaters and frantic and embarrassing falls, but it was still a fun and memorable social DCM! WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND DCMS? You should attend DCMS because it’s a great way to meet Key Clubbers within the division, get out of your comfort zone and experience what it’s like to be a part of something bigger than your club! DCMS are also SUPER FUN so don’t miss out on the experience!
