Lieutenant Governor Hey Krakens!

Can you believe it’s already July? I hope the past month of summer break has been treating you well. Thank you to everyone who made it to the June DCM! If you were unable to attend, don’t worry the July DCM will be here before you know it! And speaking of summer events, have you registered for Seattle Rally yet? More information regarding the rally can be found on the D33 Facebook group but contact me if you have any specific questions.

Even though it’s summer break, I would still like to see officers turning in reports but if there are any hardships let me know, preferably before the due date! I know clubs are less active during these months but if your club is in need of any service projects or fundraising ideas feel free to contact me and I would be happy to help!

In love and service,

Rheanna Borromeo Rheanna Borromeo Division 33 Lt. Governor

KRAKENS ON

A Q&A With District Bo

District Governor

What time is it?

It’s summer time! Hello, hello my wonderful Krakens. With the school year now over, we have more time on our hands. Time is such a valuable entity in life and with that, I plan to dedicate a lot of it to Key Club. Throughout my term I really want to get down and dirty in service alongside my PNW Key Clubbers and especially all of you. So I encourage you to dedicate more time to Key Club and create those unforgettable memories of a lifetime.

Serving as your District Governor is still so surreal and I am still extremely lucky to have this opportunity. All in all, feel free to contact me anytime, anywhere about anything Key Club or if you just want to talk. Remember this, once a Kraken, always a Kraken.

Feel free to break out of your bubble. Even if you joined to get hours or make your resume look good, you’ll learn to discover that Key Club is more than what meets the eye and will be with you for the rest of your life.

ADVICE FOR ANY KEY CLUB MEMBERS

Trick or Treat for UNICEF. This was my first Key Club service project and overall it’s really great seeing the people of your community and so many bonds can be created with other Key Clubbers. (As in any and maybe even all events)

FAVORITE SERVICE PROJECT AND WHY

Creating a difference as a district with KCCP, reminding everyone that service is fun, and showing members that Caring is my Way of Life by bridging the gap through events and official visits.

N THE BOARD

oard Members From D33!

Hey fellow Krakens!

I hope you’ve all been enjoying summer vacation so far! School may be over, but service never stops. I encourage you to stay in contact with your club officers to see what service projects you can get involved with during the summer—you’ll probably catch me volunteering at the MultiService Center or at the Lions Club Car Show in August! As for the District Board, I am humbled to be serving as your Convention Aide this year.

Planning for DCON 2017 is already underway, and I can’t wait for you to see the surprises we have in store.

Ever since my very first DCM, I have been so thankful for this division for making Key Club feel like home. You all exemplify what it means to be a Key Clubber. I look forward to getting to know you throughout the year!

Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions, comments, or just want to say hi!

Don't be afraid to go up to someone and introduce yourself! Key Club is all about creating new relationships and working together to serve the community!

ADVICE FOR ANY KEY CLUB MEMBERS

I love volunteering at the Multi-Service Center because it was the first service project I ever did with Key Club!

It showed how kind and caring the Key Club community was and encouraged me to keep coming back.

FAVORITE SERVICE PROJECT AND WHY

I hope to increase transparency between the district and club levels and also include more member input with decision making.

Get to know our Kiwanis partners.

VISION PARTNERS Landscape Structures Inc. has been creating innovative playground equipment since 1971. Think of the impact your club could have in your community by constructing a playground as a signature project. Ask your members if giving children a place to play is the right project for your club. See Kiwanis playgrounds and find a local representative at playlsi.com.

Nickelodeon’s The Big Help campaign puts kids into action to do something about issues communities face. Kiwanis clubs are encouraged to work with their SLPs on projects like Worldwide Day of Play—when the network goes black and kids are encouraged to head outdoors and help their community. Learn what your club can do to engage at nick.com/thebighelp.

The U.S. Army partnership is based on a foundation of shared values. Engaging in local opportunities, U.S. Army personnel connect with Kiwanis family members and provide access to local battalion support and resources. Contact your local battalion to invite soldiers to speak at a club meeting, take part in service projects and become Kiwanis members. goarmy.com.

KEY CLUB CO-SPONSOR Rustic Pathways has more than 30 years of experience leading exceptional international education and service programs. High school students broaden their global perspective while performing meaningful service projects around the world.

Learn more about the incredible trips offered by inviting a local representative to speak at a club meeting or district convention. Find your local connection at Rusticpathways.com.

PROMOTIONAL PARTNERS Scholastic Books partners with the Kiwanis Family to promote literacy outreach programs. Discuss with your club members how a reading oasis for your local school can be woven into your signature service projects and discover the wide array of literacy programs at kiwanisone.org/read.

Up with People is a global education organization focused on bringing the world together through service and music. Kiwanis clubs can engage with Up with People by coordinating service projects, hosting the cast in their homes and sponsoring performances as fundraisers. Find out when Up with People will be in your area at upwithpeople.org.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS Sister Cities International serves as the national membership organization for individual sister cities, states and countries across the U.S. This partnership gives Kiwanians access to more than 2,100 international partnerships, member rates on events and exchange opportunities. Think about how your club can increase local education, arts and cultural impact through a Sister City collaboration. Contact your local Sister City Program through the city search on sister-cities.org.

JCI is a nonprofit organization of young active citizens, ages 18 to 40, who are engaged and committed to making an impact in their communities. Kiwanians can partner with JCI members on joint community projects to increase local impact.

Find your local JCI chapter or contact your state office to inquire about ways to connect and collaborate. kiwanis.org/findjci

CAUSE PARTNERS IHOP. Your club members can support National Pancake Day by serving as ambassadors to encourage restaurant patrons to support Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. Beginning in each January, watch for information from Kiwanis International about registering to volunteer on National Pancake Day.

PREFERRED CHARITIES Kiwanis International partners with Boys & Girls Clubs of America with a focus on mentoring tomorrow’s leaders. Invite their staff to a club meeting and begin building an impactful relationship. Find your local Boys & Girls Club at bgca.org.

Kiwanis International partners with Boy Scouts of America to ensure boys, young men and women grow in character, citizenship, responsibility and leadership to achieve their greatest potential. Your club can sponsor a local troop and support its projects. Find your troop at scouting.org.

Kiwanis family members participate with Children’s Miracle Network by sponsoring fundraising events and conducting service projects at their local children’s hospitals. Get involved by contacting your local CMN hospital and invite a representative to a club meeting to share ideas and create a partnership. Find your hospital at childrensmiraclenetwork.org.

Kiwanis family members partner with March of Dimes by raising thousands of dollars annually to give every baby a healthy start. To find out how you can help support local events, such as March for Babies and Prematurity Awareness Month, contact marchofdimes.com.

Kiwanis family members joined forces with UNICEF to virtually eliminate iodine deficiency disorders. Today we collaborate on The Eliminate Project, raising US$110 million to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the planet.
