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.
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!!

DISTRICT CONVENTION SO WHAT IS DCON? DCON is District Convention, which is an annual convention in which nearly 2,000 Key Clubbers from all over the Pacific Northwest gather to celebrate a year’s worth of service. The convention is intended to recognize those who have gone above and beyond to serve their homes, communities, and schools.
WHAT IS THE THEME? This year’s DCON theme is “Service to Infinity and Beyond,” emphasizing how Key Clubbers should go the extra mile to serve their homes, schools, and communities.

W FRIENDS AND AND LIFETIME
DO I HAVE TO GO? You are not required to attend. However, it is strongly recommended for incoming officers (and any interested members) to attend because DCON is the primary way that officers will receive proper officer training to prepare for the following year. Also, I would simply recommend DCON because it is so much fun and a worthwhile experience! I have yet to meet a Key Clubber who does not have fun at DCON and/or regrets going. Additionally, your Kiwanis clubs are willing to help fund any Key Clubber who wants to go to DCON, and will do so to the best of their ability.
REGISTRATION REGISTRATION IS DUE JANUARY 24TH! Please fill out these forms for your club. Section A: Registration and General Info Section B: Candidates Information Section C: Contests and Awards Please start getting a list of all members who are interested in attending District Convention. In addition, please ensure that an adviser will be able to chaperone your club throughout convention. All attendees must attend the Lieutenant Governor election and attend all DCON-prep DCMs.
