Division 64
Lieutenant Governor Haydn Loudd
Hi fellow Key Clubbers I’m Haydn Loudd and I have been elected as the new Lieutenant Governor of Division 64. I’m a junior from Tualatin High School, and I’m really looking forward to my new role in the Key Club community. To start things off, I would like to share some boring personal background info about me: I was born in, and have lived in, the Portland Metro area my whole life, I have three younger sisters, I’m half black and half white (mostly of Irish, Canadian, Polish and Lithuanian descent-- I know I’m a smorgasbord of ethnicities!), my birthday is April 7, 1999 so I’m an Aries, I joined Key Club as a sophomore, I’m striving for that Full IB Diploma, and yeah that is pretty much the gist of it. Now on to some of the more interesting stuff about me… I have quite a few hobbies; however, I really only focus on two: music and science. One of my favorite things in life is music-- I’m a very music inclined person. I love to listen to music while doing my homework, I love to learn different instruments (ukulele, bass, viola, violin), I love to sing to myself, and I love to create and play music on my cello. Moreover, science has been something I have been interested in since I was younger. Some of my best memories involve going to OMSI, the Oregon Zoo, and the Newport Aquarium; these are the places that inspired me to look into different science majors, which include marine biology, microbiology, pathology, oceanography, and environmental sciences. As of right now, I haven’t actually decided on what I want to do in the future, but I know whatever I choose I’ll be having fun doing it. Other hobbies of mine include: watching Netflix, reading fantasy books, procrastinating, ranting about politics, arguing with my sisters, and doing homework on Friday nights. I hope this short bio was an interesting read and that you, as readers, got to know some more information about your new Lieutenant Governor. I’m looking forward to my new role and am super excited to meeting some of you guys in the future!
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.

Sarah Krill Senior at Tualatin High School I became apart of Key Club my junior year with no expectations, except to have volunteer hours for college applications. It's a student led international organization that gives back not only to the community, but does many service projects for those around the world. I loved volunteering and the best part was seeing everyone coming together to help and serve the community. You feel like you are apart of something bigger than yourself in Key Club, which is why I have enjoyed it so much. Now that I am an officer, it's been a great opportunity to learn even more about key club and encourage those in our school to become apart of it. I am very grateful to be apart of Key Club and all the wonderful experiences it has brought. Do you want to share your Key Club Story and be featured in the next month’s newsletter? Send me your story at danielamai.pnw64@gmail.com
It was my freshman year, when I was forced to join Key Club for a piece of candy that changed my life forever. My cousin who was the President at that time made me sign up at the club fair, which in return I got a piece of candy. A few weeks later my club participated in a parade called Timberfest and I got to be part of it. My friend and I along with other Key Clubbers got the privilege to throw candy at kids and promote Key Club. That day I realized why people joined clubs because it’s the feeling of inclusiveness and being part of a family, is what people sought for. We all want to leave an imprint in our school once we graduate--mine was Key Club. That’s why I decided to become a Key Club officer to leave a mark. What I didn’t know at that time is that Key Club had left a mark in me and had become part of my legacy. Key Club has allowed me to see the difference we can do in other people’s lives, even if it’s something small like open the door for someone, or just a simple smile can brighten up someone’s day. It is the small, random acts of kindness that makes me see the good in people. Key Club has given me the key to unlock my fullest potential, never in a million years would I thought of running for lieutenant governor, give speeches and be a leader of a whole division, nevertheless I overcame my obstacles and got more involved to make a bigger change, not only in my community but also in countries half way around the world. Looking back if I didn’t make the decision of joining Key Club, wasn’t it for that piece of candy four years ago, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. Key Club has become part of my DNA--caring became my way of life. -Daniela Mai
Next is the divisional level, which is made up of clusters of clubs in a specific area. Each division has a lieutenant governor—a student leader who carries out the district’s policies and provides support to clubs
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.
