GREETINGS FROM YOUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Hey Dinosaurs! I hope everyone had a good finals week. Now that the school year is (almost) over, it is the perfect time to get more involve in serving our homes, schools and community together. There are a lot of service projects coming up over the summer. Please let me know if you need help finding service projects. Although, I am sure if you look in the right places, you can find serval upcoming service projects in your area. Peruse your city websites, contact the local parks etc. to see if they have projects for you and your club to participate in. The more service projects your club is involved in, the better your Key Club experience will be. Also a create way to recruit new members is by bringing them to Key Club events, so they can experience a day of a Key Clubber’s life. It is suppose to be sunny all week long, so enjoy the rest of your week and HAVE A GREAT SUMMER. I hope to see you at my June DCM! Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
Have a Dino-Riffic, Daniela Mai Lieutenant Governor of Division 64 Key Club International

Eliminate Project For many, today is the day we celebrate the mothers in our lives and the cherished bond between a mom and her child. To mothers around the world, we wish you a wonderful Mother’s Day. To those celebrating moms, we encourage you to show your love for the special woman in your life today – and every day. Flowers, candy and jewelry are nice. But what if you could make a difference with your gift this year? You can! It’s not too late to give a memorable Mother’s Day gift that will have a lasting impact. For just US$1.80—less than the cost of cards or candy— you can protect one woman and her future babies from the painful and deadly affects of tetanus. Between March 1 and June 15, a gift of US$1,250 will help save or protect more than 690 women and their future babies from maternal and neonatal tetanus. You will also receive a special-edition 2015 Mother’s Day Zeller brooch, a Zeller Fellowship Medallion and a personalized certificate. Honor a mother or any special woman in your life with a gift to The Eliminate Project. And make their love a force for change.

The Kiwanis family is making history through The Eliminate Project! Since Kiwanis International joined UNICEF in the fight to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus, infant mortality rates have dropped significantly. And since 2011, more than 15 countries have eliminated MNT. Because of Kiwanis, vaccines are reaching the women who need them—those in the world’s poorest and most remote regions—saving millions of lives. While we celebrate our great progress, the work must continue. Babies are still dying—134 newborns every day. Millions of women and babies need our support. Together, we will eliminate this disease.
Important facts about the fight • 1 baby dies every 11 minutes from tetanus • 134 newborns die every day from tetanus • Between 2010 and 2013, neonatal tetanus deaths decreased by more than 15 percent—25 fewer babies die each day
• MNT has been eliminated from more than 35 countries since 2000 • A series of 3 doses of the tetanus vaccine = immunity from tetanus • Women + vaccine = protected baby • US$1.80 protects one woman and her future babies

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.
