Final Farewell Dear Division 44, We began our journey together approximately 365 days ago and look at all we accomplished. We united our division, promoted service within our schools and worked incredibly hard to improve communities world-wide and ensure the success of our division and clubs. Thank you for allowing me to be your Lieutenant Governor this past year. I hope you had an amazing experience like I did and have made some unforgettable memories. Although I cannot personally message all 430 of you, I would like you to know I am so proud of each and every one of you and know you continue to inspire me through your kindness, actions and determination. Although I will miss being your Lieutenant Governor, I have no doubt Ishu will do an incredible job as your 2017-2018 Lieutenant Governor. Get ready for another unforgettable year. I love you all. In Care and Service, Alyssa Libak Immediate-Past Division 44 Lieutenant Governor

Letter From Your LT.G Hey Butterflies, I can’t believe it. The 2017-2018 Key Club service year has already begun! First of all, I would like to thank you again for electing me as your Lieutenant Governor to go on this journey with you. I hope to grow closer with every single one of your clubs and help you in absolutely every way in order for our division to reach its maximum potential. As we go along in this term however, remember that I am not only here for you to be your Lt.G but also as a companion that will be here to listen to all of your struggles and confront them with you. Together we can collaborate as a whole and strive for another substantial year of service. I certainly can’t wait to see what this term has in store for us because I am sure that the memories we make will go down in Division 44 history. Also, I would like to emphasize that you should NEVER hesitate to contact me for any reason whatsoever. Communication is KEY. However, be sure to lookout for me because I will be contacting many of you very frequently throughout the year! In Care and Service, Ishu Poudyal Lieutenant Governor Division 44 ltg44@pnwkeyclub.org (360)-216-9441

Meet The District Executive Board 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

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.

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
