Hi fellow Key Clubbers

Loudd and I have been elected as the new Lieutenant Governor of Division rom Tualatin High School, and I’m really looking forward to my new role in munity. To start things off, I would like to share some boring personal bout me: I was born in, and have lived in, the Portland Metro area my whole younger sisters, I’m half black and half white (mostly of Irish, Canadian, nian descent-- I know I’m a smorgasbord of ethnicities!), my birthday is m an Aries, I joined Key Club as a sophomore, I’m striving for that Full IB that is pretty much the gist of it. Now on to some of the more interesting

te a few hobbies; however, I really only focus on two: music and science. e things in life is music-- I’m a very music inclined person. I love to listen ng my homework, I love to learn different instruments (ukulele, bass, viola, ing to myself, and I love to create and play music on my cello. Moreover, something I have been interested in since I was younger. Some of my best going to OMSI, the Oregon Zoo, and the Newport Aquarium; these are the ed me to look into different science majors, which include marine biology, ology, oceanography, and environmental sciences. As of right now, I haven’t n what I want to do in the future, but I know whatever I choose I’ll be t. Other hobbies of mine include: watching Netflix, reading fantasy books, anting about politics, arguing with my sisters, and doing homework on

s short bio was an interesting read and that you, as readers, got to know ation about your new Lieutenant Governor. I’m looking forward to my new 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

PREFERRED CHARITY 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.

SAVE A LIFE.

"Having been a 2 term Key Club president has given me an opportunity to expand on not only my leadership skills but also my people skills. Learning how to communicate effectively towards members and adults has been my greatest take-away from Key Club as a whole. Although I still have a lot to learn, I thank Key Club for giving me an opportunity to learn these skills for life“- Kaylene Lim "The greatest impact serving for Key Club these past three years has had on me is opening my eyes to my own privilege. I've been very fortunate to have grown up in such an affluent and safe community, and since realizing this, have served with the goal of helping to balance the scale of privilege and inequality in our country and the world.“ –Kayla Gadd

“Being key club president for the Lakeridge high school chapter for the past 3 years has been challenging, rewarding, and exciting! The most rewarding part about being a president is being able to interact and work with such dedicated members and friendly officers!” –Josh Lee

As a member and an officer, I have seen the difference that one person can make.

Being an officer had helped me to grow as a leader and as an individual. I have met so many friends through key club and made so many memories that will last a lifetime." -Rachel Piazza "Key club is a will know club in our school and we have been able to grow. We have been able to not just as a club, but as community by going around and providing service for those in need.

It's great to see a lot of our members going around and trying to make a difference within our community because a little hands in service can go a long way." -Rosy Castillo

Also, with the large size of b at Tigard High, I have been given a lot of y along with my fellow officers to keep the club nd running, and the lessons I have learned from ibility are ones I'll never forget.“ - Camryn Flint

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.

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.
