Greetings Division 21, Never could I have expected how fast my term would come to pass! With a only a week left as the Lieutenant Governor of Division 21, I often find myself looking back at certain points of my experience- The Amazing Race, Skate to Eliminate, and Pumpkin Carving among many others. And more than ever before, I have come to realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by a phenomenal group of servant leaders, truly passionate in giving back to the community.

All of you have made a huge impact on your community and beyond- much more than you may think. Of those many lives impacted, you have also changed my life.

Without your enthusiasm, your support ,and your willingness to serve, I would not have fell in love with Key Club, an organization that shaped me into who I am today.

So, thank you. Thank you for inspiring me, inspiring each other, and inspiring the many others in your community and beyond. Keep on serving, because it really does make a difference.

On March 19th, 2016, I will retire feeling many emotions.

But most importantly, I will retire, relieved, that my beloved division is in safe hands. I have much faith in Sea, our incoming LTG, in that she will take us to a higher level of service and strengthen us like never before. Her gift of leadership and passion for service, along with your support will produce amazing results, and I am so excited to see our division grow!

With that, I would like to thank you, D21, once more, for an experience I never thought would be possible.

With love and service, Jessica Bae Lieutenant Governor of D21 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

Wow, I can't believe the year has already gone by this fast‌ First of all, I just want to say thank you, D21! I'm so proud to be in our division, and the amount of growth I've got to experience through this group has been phenomenal. This is really bittersweet, as this will be the last time I write in this section- but I'm still so excited to start a new year with all of you and create even more memories.

But on a happier note, DCON is coming up! I hope all of you will have a blast, because I know I had such a great time last year, at my very first DCON. Don't be scared to be you, and definitely don't be scared to show off our division! DCON will definitely be one of those moments of your high school career that you will never forget. To those of you who aren't going to DCON, don't worry, because there are plenty of other rallies in the summer where you'll get to attend and meet new people!

Next, I want to congratulate Jessica on such a successful term. She has worked so hard for our division, working every which way to serve us. We love you, forever our Queen Bae! Lastly, before I wrap this up for real, I want to say I'm so excited for this new chapter of our division, and ecstatic to see the things that will open up for us. I'll always be here to serve you.

In love and service, Sea Choi Divisional Executive Assistant 15-16 Lieutenant Governor 16-17

Hey Key Clubbers! The time we've all been waiting for has arrived! DCON is a life changing experience we shouldn't take for granite! I'm so excited to share this with you all. It's an incredible opportunity to learn, meet new people, and inspire your love for service. Let's keep up the spirit and show the PNW that we deserved the spirit stick last year! As our term comes to a close I would like us all to celebrate our accomplishments we have worked for throughout this key club year. Let's take this time to recognize and say goodbye to our amazing Queen Bee Jessica for all of her hard work and dedication! Now we welcome our new incredible LTG Sea, I can't wait to see what great things come from her term! Thank you all for being such an incredible family and I can't wait to see you at DCON! With Love and Service, Sammy Chu đ&#x;?? ♼

Hey Key Clubbers!! Super close to DCON smile emoticon I'm real excited to see most of you guys there, for the rest of you. I'll party hard for you guys. Try to get through this last couple weeks. I hope you all have had great volunteering experiences throughout this year. Remember there are lots of more opportunities outside of what your club offers so volunteer it up. It was great taking pics of all of you guys this year at the dcms, going to your club events, and going out to eat with all of ya'll. As DCON comes, the exec board goes out. So stay lit, and bless up. --Love you all-- Devonna Abilo Exec. Editor

It’s nearing the end of my term as well and I just wanted to thank you guys for the amazing year that I’ve had with D21! I’m glad that I’ve been able to grow alongside the bumblebees in Division 21! Our Division has come such a long way under Jessica’s guidance and I know that we will go even further under Sea! I hope that we all continue to grow and I look forward to the next Key Club year!

Looking back on the…

Division 21

Although I’ve only been part of Key Club for little over 2 months, I’ve honestly been amazed by the efforts, passion, and commitment everyone in my division has put. Ever since freshman year, I’ve always been searching for a genuinely committed leadership club. A group of peer high school students and friends self-motivated to encourage others to become leaders. And I think Key club division 21 has surpassed the expectations of my standards of a club that I’ve always desired. Everyone in the division are, and always are, so welcoming, kind-hearted, and genuinely passionate to become leaders.

Every DCM I’ve gone to has been an amazing, unforgetful experience that continues to motivate me to come to the next. And I can only thank the current LTG, Jessica Bae, and soon-to-be LTG, Sea Choi, for this. They both have shown the most amazing leadership skills I’ve ever seen in a high school student, and both constantly motivate me to become as great of a leader as them. I’m shocked with how hard work they’ve put into this division, and will surely miss Jessica Bae, for even the small amount of time I’ve seen her run this amazing division. -Nobu Goto, Meadowdale Key Club

My most memorable experience of Key Club 2015-2016 would have to be Operation Christmas Child. I just love how we organized toys, supplies, and cards for children that are in need around the world. And the fact that we, as a BEEutiful family, did it together at the Mariner Fire Station made me realize the true meaning of teamwork and friendship in Division 21 of Key Club. ♥ -Kathy Vu, Meadowdale Key Club

1 Experience ‘15-’16 One of my most memorable experience of Key Club has to be Seattle Rally and the DCM's. It all started when I actually stepped out of my comfort zone and went to a bonfire DCM at Mukilteo beach. Since it was my first DCM, I was super paranoid meeting new people that I never seen or talked to before. But when I arrived Jessica made the welcoming super easy for me. She approached me and greeted me to the DCM. There was a really fun scavenger hunt, and I got to meet so many new people in our division. I realized how fun key club really is! Everybody was super inviting, and I got to know most of the people at the DCM. After the DCM I decided to take a larger step in Key Club and decided to go to Seattle Rally! What an amazing experience it was meeting so many people around the state, and having a reunion with those who went to leadership camp. Honestly Key Club has really changed my life, and I don't think I would be the person who I am without it.

After Seattle Rally I attended mostly all of the DCM's after that, and decided to get more involved into Key Club. I honestly thought that Key cCub was a super boring club, but after meeting so many people, attending DCM's and Seattle rally, this has to be one of the best high school clubs in the world. And now DCON 2016 here we come! – Dennis Mach, Mariner Key Club

Even though I joined the divison very recently, I enjoyed all the DCMs I attended! But if I had to pick a favorite, it would definitely be the Skate to Eliminate DCM because I got to meet so many new people through that event! I'm excited for what's to come with Divison 21 in the upcoming year!!!-Andrew Baek, Kamiak Key Club
