Portland Rally Attendees Sarah Krill, Event Coordinator of Tualatin Key Club

I had a really fun time at Portland rally, getting to meet all the other keyclubbers from all the other divisions. It was a really cool experience learning about elemonate campaign as well as just more ways to make key club better. I had a great time meeting everyone and just getting to hear how passionate everyone was about keyclub

Victoria Lee, Divisional Editor "This was my very first key club rally ever, and it's gonna be a quite memorable one. I had so much fun getting the chance to meet so many awesome people and experiencing all the different workshops“

Rosy Castillo, Treasurer of Tualatin Key Club

“Portland rally was full of key clubbers from all the different divisions around the area. It was fun getting to know a few people from different Divisions and having different workshops to pick from. However, it would of been a greater experience if more people from Division 64 had gone. Also the public speaking workshop was great! Having Brian lee share his tricks and methods of how to prepare for the stage was so engaging and amusing. I sure will be using them next time I have to do a presentation or speech”

Rachel Piazza, Communications of Tualatin Key Club

“The guest speaker from the Philippines was really cool. She was very motivational and it was very interesting to learn about what she said! The videos for Elemonate were funny and I liked learning more about the project and all the ideas about fundraisers we could do to raise money”

Division 64 includes Tigard High School, Wilsonville High School, Tualatin High School, Lakeridge High School, Sherwood High School, West Linn High School, and Lake Oswego High School. We are one of the smallest and newest divisions in the District, but we are working towards becoming a bigger and stronger division over the next year! Our divisional mascot has been recently changed to the “DINOSAURS,” while our divisional colors are blue and gold. We are happy to serve and blessed to be able to experience how rewarding being an active member of Key Club can be.

There are currently 33 organized districts within Key Club and one district in formation. Each district is chaired by a governor who is elected by delegates at the district’s annual convention.

Greetings, Key Club members!

Just a few weeks ago, our organization convened in Indianapolis for our annual International Convention alongside Circle K and Kiwanis International as we celebrated Kiwanis’ centennial birthday. It was an unforgettable experience for all, and that week, I was fortunate enough to be elected President of Key Club International.

As International President, my job is to lead our organization for the next year; to set the vision of what Key Club is, should be, and will be; to supervise and work with your 11 International Trustees, ensuring that they serve and work with your district properly; to unite all 33 districts under our common mission, and to do everything in my power to leave this organization better than I found it when I leave office in 2016.

Key Club has an exciting year ahead of it! We’re entering the last decade of our first 100 years.

We’re working everyday to make membership larger, stronger, and an experience that leaves all 270,000 satisfied.

As a Key Club member, you’ve chosen to be a part of something greater than yourself. Greater than your home club, your division, or even your district; you’ve chosen to be one of the thousands of hands Key Club International unites for the greater good around the word. As the saying goes, “United we stand; Divided we fall”: Let’s unite, Key Club. We’re a global network of smart, inspired, capable servant leaders. Can you imagine what we can do when we come together?

It’s an honor to be your leader this year. I wish you the very best in all of your endeavors this school yearKey Club and otherwiseand thank you sincerely for being a Key Clubber. Let’s have a fantastic year!

Best regards, Rip Livingston

Addison Clipfell Hello Key Clubbers!

My name is Addison Clipfell and I’m the 20152016 International Vice President. I’m so excited to serve alongside Rip and all of the trustees for the upcoming year. My role as Vice President is often one of ambiguity but I hope to change that this year.

This year I will be working on many things including: chairing the Committee for Service and YOF, being a liaison to the Western Canada district, writing a monthly blog, reading governor monthly reports, serving on the executive committee, and much more. If you have any questions about my role this year, please feel free to ask! Some fun facts about me are that I play the violin, I work at Old Navy, I love Sudoku, I have a dog named Roxy, and I absolutely love Key Club. Well, you knew that last one right? I truly hope I can inspire and aid all of you in sparking an enthusiasm for Key Club in your members. This is extremely important to create long lasting connections and it is key to keeping members in the k-family. Also, I hope all of your unique clubs continue to do amazing service in the upcoming year and share that with me along the way!

Most importantly I want you to know that while I hold the office of I.V.P, I’m still a regular teenager. I think history is boring, stress about college applications, fan-girl over Fall Out Boy, have a job, and love to serve. I’m just like all of you! I want to be a supporter, a source of encouragement, and a Vice President all wrapped into one. So, with that once again feel free to contact me anytime. My contact info is below. I can’t wait to have an amazing year of service!

PREFERRED CHARITIES

UNICEF works with the United Nations to help over 150 developing countries to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. Through community service, UNICEF is able to provide healthcare, sanitary water, and education for these children.

1 in 9 babies in America are born mature. The United States has one of the highest rates for premature babies for more developed countries.

The March of Dimes funds lifesaving research and programs and works to end premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. Every baby deserves a healthy life.

Children’s Miracle Network seeks to battle every type of childhood illness and injury. The money fundraised for the program goes towards research and training, purchasing equipment and paying uncompensated care, in its mission to save as many children’s lives as possible.

What is MNT? In 23 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. MNT kills one baby every eleven minutes. Its effects are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too.

Who suffers from MNT? MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach and those without health care.

Can MNT be stopped?

Yes! MNT is highly preventable.

Just three doses of a 60-cent immunization protect mothers, who then pass on the immunity to their future babies. Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF can stop this disease.

What will it take to eliminate MNT from the Earth?

More than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.

KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL

The Eliminate Project is a campaign to eliminate MNT from the Earth. With the Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century.

Now, together, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. In doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.
