MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Welcome to the first issue of the bulletin for 2014!

I hope everyone enjoyed their winter break and is ready to get back into the school routine. Meetings will resume, but next week’s meeting will be on a Thursday because of the early dismissal schedule. It will also be our preliminary election for LtG. So far, there is only one person from our club in the running, so if you think you are up to the challenge of LtG, give it a shot! Even if you’re not running, I’d encourage you to go to the January DCM to see what running for an officer position is like (especially you freshmen and sophomores out there).

THERE ARE 85 DAYS UNTIL DCON 2014! Terri has posted the registration forms on the group page; please fill them out and return them in a timely manner. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions! DCON will definitely be one of your most memorable high school experiences, and I regret being ill freshman year and not attending. It is a great opportunity to meet other Key Clubbers from PNW and have a lot of FUN. DCON will also be the time when the current officers are replaced. If you’re interested in becoming the next bulletin editor, please talk to me in person or message me on Facebook!

The LtG serves as a liaison between the District Board and Division, and is in charge of planning DCMs and overseeing the clubs of Division 26. This is a position that requires a lot of time and dedication, so talk to Terri or Henry (who ran for LtG last year) for more information. Preliminary elections will be held on the meeting before the final election, which is the

January DCM at the Southwest Library in West Seattle on Saturday, January 18th .

65th Annual PNW District Convention
