Club Officers About PNW About Division 64 District Board

GREETINGS FROM YOUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Hello DINOSAURS! Now that summer is over and the school year is starting up again, I hope you are all looking forward to another fantastic year of Key Club and service!

Although we are all busy with schoolwork and other extracurricular activities, I hope that you guys will continue to SERVE and make a positive impact on your communities.

I strongly encourage you guys to think about recruiting new members into Key Club! Think about why you love Key Club, and share your experience with others. I have provided a couple promotion resources in the first few pages of the newsletter. Target the underclassmen and build your clubs! Share your love for service and others will follow.

Don’t forget about Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF coming up during the month of October! Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is the best way to fundraise and raise awareness for The Eliminate Project.

As always, don’t hesitate to approach me with any questions or concerns!

In love and service, Daniela Mai Lieutenant Governor of Division 64 PNW Key Club International

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.

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.

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.

Pacific NorthWest District All divisions in a geographic region make up a district. A district is sometimes defined by state or nation and tends to match a similar Kiwanis district. 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.
