MEET THE PNW DISTRICT PROJECTS DIRECTOR
Hey Key Clubbers! Communication My name is Dorothy Wang and I am a senior from Division 64 – the new home of the Dinosaurs! I cannot express how honored s Director and humbled I am to be able to serve the Pacific Northwest as District Projects Committee Chair. I will commit this next year theto making the Eliminate Project as successful as it can be for our district, and I hope you will, too! After raising over $80,000 for Anav Gagneja the Eliminate Project over the course of the last year alone, it won’t be easy for us to top our past accomplishments. However, anavgagneja@ I have complete faith in our district to achieve that and so much more for the campaign’s last year! As some of you may know, gmail.com our district goal for this upcoming year is set at $50,000, but why not raise more? The district hopes to easily surpass that amount and save as many lives as we possibly can. The Eliminate Project needs YOU and the support of your Key Clubs and communities in order to reach our $110 million goal for Kiwanis International and to eliminate Maternal Neonatal Tetanus by 2015. Time is running out, so it is crucial that we go all out and do all that we can for the project in its final stage!
Convention Aide Ryan Miura Ryanmiura0241@g mail.com
District Project Director Dorothy Wang Dorothywang.ltg64 @gmail.com
Although the Eliminate Project has been our district project for over a year, we cannot afford to loosen the reins and wait for others to help us reach that goal. The amazing thing about the Eliminate Project is that even a little bit of change can have such a tangible and substantial impact on the lives of mothers and children throughout the world. Through a joint effort, I believe that MNT can and will be eliminated by 2015! Raise awareness throughout your communities and fundraise! Whether you and your club organize a movie night, Dance to Elimin8, Skate to Elimin8, potluck, or even a food sale, EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! It’s really amazing how far a little bit of effort, enthusiasm, and shameless promotion can go – especially when we’re talking about passionate and serving Key Clubbers! If you ever need help with a fundraiser or have any questions regarding the Eliminate Project, please do not hesitate to contact me through email or Facebook (let’s be friends! !). As Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Never get discouraged, because even $1.80 could change a mother’s and child’s life forever. Key Clubbers have a wonderful opportunity to make a huge impact on the world. Go out there and make PNW proud!
