HEY DINOSAURS!

GREETINGS FROM YOUR

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

I hope that y’all are having unforgettable summers filled with SERVICE and FUN! I hope that you guys will take advantage of the summer and extra free time to SERVE and to continue to make a positive impact on your communities. Service is not something that ends after the school year and starts back up again in September– service is something you can ALWAYS do, no matter where you are. I hope to see you all at the Joint DCM with Divisions 62, 65, and 66, and serve with you throughout the rest of the summer!

I would also like to personally thank all of the Key Clubbers who came to my July DCM. I hope you had a ton of fun and learned a lot about Key Club International!

The Joint DCM is coming up on August 25th, from 10-1. It will be at Pioneer Square! Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you need a ride. As always, Key Club is INCLUSIVE and don’t hesitate to bring your friends, Key Clubbers and non-Key Clubbers alike, family, etc. to these Key Club events! The theme is SELFIE OLYMPICS and it’s going to be an event that you don’t want to miss!

More information will be out shortly through Facebook and email.

Since the school year is coming up fast, I strongly encourage you guys to think about recruiting new members into Key Club! Think about why you love Key Club, and share your experience with others. I have provided a couple promotion resources in the first few pages of the newsletter. Target the underclassmen and build your clubs!

That’s it for now! SEE YOU GUYS AT THE JOINT

AUGUST DCM! IT WILL BE FUN! HAVE A FANTASTIC, SERVICE-FILLED REST OF THE SUMMER! In love and service, Dorothy Wang Lieutenant Governor of Division 64 Key Club International

AUGUST DCM

MONDAY, AUGUST 25TH DOWNTOWN PORTLAND 10 AM to 1 PM

MEET KAYLA GADD

Divisional Executive Assistant

Hey Key Clubbers!

I'm Kayla and I will be a junior next year rat West Linn High School. I first heard about Key Club when a Lake Oswego girl was bragging about how LO had a Key Club and how at the time, West Linn didn't. Then a c year later, we got one! The club officially started my sophomore year and I joined right away. We definitely had some interesting volunteer experiences going to volunteer jobs full of crazy cats and really bad parking jobs, but nonetheless we survived. I am thrilled to be serving as Vice President for these next two years, as well as executive officer of the division. I hope to increase our number of members and to increase the efficacy and enthusiasm of current Key Club members. I hope to meet you soon if we haven't met yet!

MEET THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST’S INTERNATIONAL TRUSTEE TASHRIMA HOSSAIN

Hey, Pacific-Northwest!

My name is Tashrima Hossain, and I’d like to introduce myself as the new International Trustee for your district. It is such an honor to be in your service, primarily by ensuring that your voices are heard at the international level during the upcoming year. I’m excited to join the PNW moose; I’ve already received so much enthusiasm from the Board, I’ve heard many great things about PNW, and I can’t wait to see all the great achievements your district has in store.

To let you know a little about myself, I am from Cypress, Texas, which is a suburban area adjacent to the Houston border. In addition to Key Club, I devote much of my time to debate and Student Council— which often leaves with very little time for sleep! As a result, I’m a bit of a grandma, and I like spending much of my free time sleeping, reading, or just hanging out with friends.

For those of you who would like to know more about my duties as International Trustee, I have a few basic responsibilities: attending International Board meetings, participating in a maximum of two district visits, and acting as a representative of the international level of Key Club. In addition, Governor Lisa and I completed a Governor-Trustee agreement, which identified the main expectations Lisa has of me, as your district’s Trustee; many of said goals revolve around constant communication and building positive Sister District relations—all of which are means to ensure that I effectively represent your views on the international level.

Additionally, I serve with Jenalee Beazley, Rip Livingston, Liz Moore, and Nicole Lema on the Growth and Communications Committee. There, we predominantly focus on fostering a connection between advisors and Kiwanis clubs, making Key Club a school-wide name, creating a “cool factor” for Key Club, empowering local clubs to publicize their work, creating a strategic growth plan for KCI, and creating an annual club census. We already have a very specific set of goals and action steps for the first quarter; I plan to update you all with any progress in that arena.

During my term, I will stay committed to the goals I campaigned with, but more than that, I intend to actively serve as a resource for you all. If you have questions about amendments, elections, service, or general Key Club knowledge, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here as a resource, friend, and assistant in any way you may need. Call me, email me, Facebook me— I’m always ready to lend a hand.

About the Pacific Northwest District 64! That’s us!

“In the midst of serene nature and fluctuating weather conditions lies the great Pacific Northwest District (PNW).

The Pacific Northwest is geographically the largest district of Key Club International. The district spans from Western Canada to Northern California: with Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and the pan-handle of Idaho in between.”

“The Pacific Northwest encompasses nearly 1.8 million square miles and includes over 330 clubs that operate under 44 divisions. Through rain or shine, snow or hail, Key Clubbers in the Pacific Northwest dedicate countless hours to their communities and internationally, and are always Proud 'N‘ Willing to serve!”

“The mascot of the Pacific Northwest District is the “Mighty Moose,” also commonly called “Mortimer the Moose.” Known for our spirit yet incredible dedication to the service that we do, the PNW District continues to be a leader in the Key Club world, and it is all thanks to our members and excellent leadership throughout the district. It would not be far from the truth to say that yes, we’re one of the best, with over 13,000 members proudly shouting out in accord when they hear: “Hey PNW! How do you feel?””

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 silver. We are happy to serve and blessed to be able to experience how rewarding being an active member of Key Club can be. Yay Key Club!!

TS SCOREBOARD

THE ELIMINATE PROJECT The primary goal of the ELIMINATE project is to “eliminate

maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly

60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.” It takes $1.80 to get

three rounds of vaccinations for mother and child. In order to essentially eradicate the prevalence of neonatal and maternal tetanus globally, we must still raise $110 million for our cause.

As of July 7th, Key Club International has raised a total of

$2,432,905.64 for the ELIMINATE project, which means that Key Club has impacted the lives of 2,703,228 mothers and children. I hope to see all Key Clubbers do their part by spreading awareness and fundraising for this amazing project. TOGETHER we CAN eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus from the world.

An easy way to raise money for the ELIMINATE project is through Miracle

Minutes! During Miracle Minutes, everyone donates as much spare change as they can during the span of a minute. Even a couple pennies can go a long way! For more fundraising ideas, please contact your LTG. We will also discuss ELIMINATE in more detail at the next DCM. Visit the ELIMINATE website for more information regarding what ELIMINATE does and Key Club’s role with that project.

*One important thing to note is that by ELIMINATION of MNT, we mean that there will be fewer than 1 case of MNT for every 1,000 live births.

To learn that over 900,000 fellow Americans and countless others worldwide are lured or recruited into human trafficking is appalling. People that we know, our next door neighbor, our friend from high school, and those whose names go unheard, who will most likely celebrate only two more birthdays while in the sex trade, before their tragic and untimely death‌ As shocking as much of this is, it is reassuring to know that there is an organization out there, in Redlight Traffic, who is standing up for those innocent individuals, and we as Kiwanis Family Members must rally behind our motto of serving the children of the world.�
