Letter From Your Lt. G
Hey butterflies! You’ll never guess how many officer reports I got this month. 26 out of 28!! What a wonderful way to start off this new month. I am so incredibly proud of all the new officers making such compelling commitments to starting their terms strong! As for me, I have been working hard to transition into my role and contacting all of our clubs. But there are also many fun events that the newly elected divisional board and I have in store for the future so stay tuned. In addition, we had a wonderful DCM in April but the next one will be even better so be sure to come! To another amazing month, Ishu Poudyal Lieutenant Governor of Division 44 ltg44@pnwkeyclub.org (360)-216-9441

Club Updates We only participated in one event this month: the March of Dimes. We raised $100 for the organization, which was our goal. I finally fulfilled all of the officer positions, and lately we've had more and more people coming to the meetings; and although I have collected their contact information, we have not taken their attendance because they are not official members. This year, the EHS Key Club struggled in maintaining its structure and member count; however, Skye and I plan to make a huge turnover. - Ivan Felix – Evergreen President
This month we focused on March for babies and we signed up for dozer day. We let the club members know what we plan to do in the club and ask what they would like to be different. Lastly, we tried recruiting members and getting members to come to more meetings. - Erika Vera - Fort Vancouver President
This past month is when I was currently elected into office, and we have a solid foundation in what we want to do for the future and how we want to be more involved within our Division. We have set many goals and now all we have to do is accomplish them. - Nicholas San – Heritage President

Club Updates In the past month, our club has attended March For Babies/March of Dimes, as well as the Multiple Sclerosis Walk. We have had two meetings where we have discussed upcoming service events such as Dozer Days, Walk for the Animals, and DCON 2017. As officers, we are holding our first meeting tomorrow and talking about committees we plan on having for the year, volunteers activities we would like to be involved in for the summer and this upcoming year. - Madisen Alvarez – HeLa President
We officially welcomed the new officers for the 2017-2018 year the week after spring break. Otherwise, we haven't done much other than events. - Sabrina Wang - Mountain View President
In April, we didn't have too many events because many people had a lot on their hands such as AP tests or trying to get their grades up. Events that did happen was an Earth Day Work Party, DCM, library event, and we started talking about Dozer Days. - Nika Kim – Union President

District Governor
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 opportunitiesit is capable of changing lives. I have definitely had a lifechanging 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 Secretary
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! 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 Treasurer
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

District Editor
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
