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 11,300 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 is the “Classy Mouse,” which is tentative to change- we will put this up to a vote at our next DCM!  Our divisional colors are currently teal, white, and black. 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!!

Greetings from your Lt.G HEY KEY CLUBBERS! WE DID IT! School is out! Summer is here, and all the endless homework, tests, and stressful all-nighters are over. In complete honesty I thought junior year would never end, but even though it was unquestionably the hardest school year of my life, I would not trade it for the world, because I have the opportunity to serve you guys as your Lieutenant Governor!

Even though school is out, and summer is upon us, that doesn’t mean service and Key Club is out for the summer! Take advantage of the summer and extra free time to SERVE and to continue to make an 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 my summer DCMs and serve with you throughout this summer!

One thing I am really looking forward to is PORTLAND RALLY! Portland Rally is quickly approaching and I hope to see ALL CLUBS participate!

From officer training to Key Club bonding, Portland Rally provides an awesome opportunity for you guys to see Key Club International as a larger organization. It would mean so much to me to see as many of you guys out there as possible – and don’t forget, as always, Key Club is INCLUSIVE and you can bring friends, Key Clubbers and non-Key Clubbers alike, family, etc. to these Key Club events!

Hope to see you there, superheroes of service! More information is found on pages 8 and 9.

Also, I would like to congratulate the seniors who have been in Key Club. Congratulations on all of your achievements and I hope that Key Club has treated you well over the last 4 years. Feel free to come out to Portland Rally! You will definitely be welcomed  That’s it for now! SEE YOU GUYS AT PORTLAND RALLY! In love and service, Dorothy Wang Lieutenant Governor of Division 64 Key Club International

What makes Key Club unique?

By Roshni Chandwani

Dear Key Clubbers, Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world, but what makes it so special and what enables it to continue to grow? It can’t be the ability to volunteer because no matter where you go, you can find a way to give back to your community. You can even volunteer globally through UNICEF, Rustic Pathways, and other worldwide organizations. What makes Key Club is different from every other organization out there is the tight-knit community that it creates between people who live on opposite sides of a city, a state, a nation, or the world.

To fully seize the opportunities that Key Club provides high school students, it’s important

for everyone to be involved with their divisions, their district, and international. You can get involved with Key Club International by attending Key Club events, joining social media sites that are created to link together Key Clubbers from all over the world, and talking to your district leaders! In terms of the division, your Lieutenant Governor should be having Divisional Council Meetings every so often in order to bring the entire division together. Your division is composed of the schools around you that have Key Clubs. At these meetings, take advantage of the close distance between you and the other Key Clubbers in attendance. Arrange meet-ups, socials, and joint volunteer projects to increase your impact on your

community and meet people who you otherwise would have not had the chance to meet!

In terms of your district, the Pacific Northwest District is composed of all of the Key Clubs in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon, as well as some of the clubs in western Idaho, northern California, and Canada. There are rallies in the summer for all Key Clubbers in a specific region to attend and meet new people. At these rallies, you’re bound to have an amazing time while also learning about Key Club International through educational forums. Each year, PNW also hosts District Convention: an exciting weekend in which Key Clubbers from all over the district unite to celebrate the end of a wonderful year

of service and prepare for the next one. If you have the chance to attend District Convention, I highly recommend it!

Yours in service, Roshni Chandwani International Trustee Roshni.chandwani.kc@gmail.com

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL This month we have had several executive meetings to plan for next year. We held a meeting for elections to determine who are new officers – below is a picture of everyone who was elected (junior Crystal Liu, events coordinator, junior Daniar Imanbayev, honorary member, senior Jessica Gardener, vice president, senior Serena Xu, secretary, junior Yifan Mao, treasurer, senior Kaitlin Pataroque, president, and senior Christina Miler, editor). We have begun to plan events for this summer at the Oregon Food Bank and the Transition Projects in Portland as well as brainstormed ideas of how to get more people involved. We also supported a guide dogs for the blind fundraiser at our school where student representatives from the organization sold Krispy Kreme donuts for $1 during lunch. They raised $475 for the organization and the student body was very supportive and excited about the fundraiser.

S/O to editor Christina Miller for sending in her editor’s report! Thank you!

MEET THE NEW DISTRICT ANAV GAGNEJA Division 44

Stumbling into that first key club meeting as a confused sophomore was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've ever made - one that has led to a myriad of amazing encounters, countless hours of devoted service, and an innumerable amount of life-shaping experiences. I'm so excited to be able to give back to this club which has provided me with so much! On the off chance that I'm not busy pouring my heart into Key Club, I'm probably enjoying science, friends, or cookie crisp. I truly can't wait for what will surely be the best year ever! \_(ăƒ„)_/ÂŻ

TINA SOK Division 34

How's it going, Key Clubbers? My name is Athena Sok (but you may also call me Tina) and I have been blessed with the opportunity to be appointed as your K-Family Relations and International Projects Director! I reside in the city of Tacoma and I am a shark of Division 34. I bleed black and gold because I am an incoming senior at Lincoln High School. But enough about me, I am extremely excited to work with the district board this year AND to meet all of you! As your K-Fam/Int. Projects Director, I plan to significantly improve the relationships and communication between Key Club members and the K-Family branches. In this upcoming year, my plans include district wide events that allow Circle K, Kiwanis, and many more K-Family members to join together and share our love for service. These events will be put on in support of our preferred charities which will allow more K-Family members to join our cause! I am looking forward to a fun-filled and fantastic year with you all. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

APPOINTED OFFICERS BEN SCRANAGE Division 74

Hey Key Clubbers, we have a single year left. In 2015 The Kiwanis family will turn 100 and The Eliminate Project will come to a close. Maternal /Neonatal tetanus is not waiting for us to act. We must fight quickly and together.

Now that I sound like a dictator, I want to make sure you know me! I am Ben Scranage, your 2014-2015 District Projects Director. I want to work with each and every one of your clubs to make sure that the Pacific Northwest reaches their goal of fifty thousand dollars this Key Club Year! I promise you that even though I live in the small town of Harrisburg, Oregon, just outside of Eugene, I will be there for any of your questions at any time of the day.

My phone number is (541) 220-0066, and my email is ben.scranage74@gmail.com. Reach out and don't feel like a stranger.

SUVIR COPPARAM Division 28

I'm really interested in programming and making things/engineering which I'd like to use to make a positive impact in the world and on the lives of others. I really love being part of an organization that is making such a huge difference in the world with the help of so many other people.

our new club officers!

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 February, the Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers raised a total of $80778.40 for the ELIMINATE project, which means our district saved 89,754 lives as of February.

- 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!

- Please promote the ELIMINATE project throughout your communities!

- 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.

GET INVOLVED! #elimin8

Ideas for ELIMINATE

Restaurant Fundraiser Miracle Minute Coin wars Movie night Car wash Etc. brainstorm ideas with your clubs!

New ELIMINATE gear will be out soon! I will release more information once the new gear comes in, but each school must try to sell ELIMINATE gear throughout the school year! You must be in good communication with your Lt.G in order to do so.

Divisional goal:

$1000 before the end of 2015 Each school must do at least one restaurant fundraiser for ELIMINATE! Tip: Try to dedicate at least one service project a month towards the ELIMINATE project!

New ideas for ELIMINATE? Share with your fellow Key Clubbers on the divisional Facebook group page. If you are not on this, you can find the group here.

Slavery was abolished in 1865.

But it still exists, not only in thirdworld countries, but within America too.

There are an estimated 5.5 million children in the trafficking industry.

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.”

- Raeford Penny, 2013-2014 International President of Key Club International

Check out redlighttraffic.org for more information on how you can help!

“Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world. Human trafficking is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise, after drugs.”
