Hello Division 34, I hope that you all had a great summer filled with lots of fun and service. It was great seeing many of you at DCMs, rallies, and officer training. I would like to applaud you all on your hard work you put in for freshman orientation. All the tri-folder posters and informative flyers displayed, looked great! September is finally here. Which means 2 things for us, Key Clubbers. One, school is back in session and two, looking forward to the first meeting! Although school can be stressful at times, just know that many Key Club events, DCMs, and socials will be coming your way. With that being said, I wish you all a great school year. Remember to do your best in school, make lots of memories, and certainly, don't forget about serving our home, schools, and community. I believe that each and every one of you can make a difference in this world, whether it is big or small. Lastly, to my fellow seniors: Let’s make it count and enjoy our last year together in Key Club. I can’t wait to visit clubs and get to know you all better!
In Love and Service, Ayane Kawaai Division 34 Lieutenant Governor Pacific Northwest District Key Club International (253) 358- 0467 ltg34.ayanek@gmail.com
Divisional Executive Assistant Alicia Shulz I can't wait to have lots of fun volunteering this year! Although my home club (Peninsula) is fairly small and struggles a bit, the fact that everyone enjoys doing service together makes it worth the hard work and struggle. I hope both new and old members have as much fun as I do in Key Club this year! Just remember to stay positive and don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help. We're one big family!! ♡ !

Greetings from the District Governor: Lisa Antonio
Dear PNW Key Clubbers, I hope everyone has had a great start of the school year, and you know what the start of the school year means... Your club’s first Key Club Meeting! Key Club is in full bloom, and I can’t wait to see what your clubs are doing for service and fundraisers! Remember, if you show how passionate you are for Key Club others will be inspired to join. Be proud to be a Key Clubber and remember to exemplify leadership and character, while always being inclusive and caring to those around you. Meeting all of you at the rallies was so inspiring; you are all constantly dedicating your time and love to the communities across the Pacific Northwest. I love how you represent Key Club with your pride and spirit while showing the dedication and compassion you hold for others. As always, remember the district board is here for the members and clubs. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your questions or concerns. I hope to see y’all at DCON 2015! Lisa Antonio

Member of the Month
Amy Hung Lincoln High School
Amy has become increasingly more involved within her club and the division. She has worked hard to communicate with her officers and club, as well as bringing out great ideas/resources to the club. Not only does she attend many of the DCMs, but she is the one who lets her officers and club know about what is going on in the division and district. She is always curious and wants to expand her knowledge about Key Club, such as ways to get more involved. Great job, Amy! !

MEET THE PNW DISTRICT PROJECTS DIRECTOR District Project Director
Hey Key Clubbers! My name is Dorothy Wang and I am a senior from Division 64 – the new home of the Dinosaurs! I cannot express how honored and humbled I am to be able to serve the Pacific Northwest as the District Projects Committee Chair. I will commit this next year to 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 the Eliminate Project over the course of the last year alone, it won’t be easy for us to top our past accomplishments. However, 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, 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!

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!
K-Family Relations Director
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!
