Hello!

Can you believe it’s already February? With elections and DCON registration behind us it’s that time again to start passing down our positions FROM YOUR and responsibilities to the next leaders of Key LIEUTENANT Club. The past month was especially exciting as elected our new Lieutenant Governor. I’m GOVERNOR we thrilled to announce that the next leader of Division 33 will be Yuri Yi from Todd Beamer High School! I want to thank everyone who attended the election rally and was patient through the whole process. Next up we have District Convention. Shoutout to all the clubs that got their registration in on time, we officially have 64 Key Clubber going from Division 33! Attendees: make sure to keep an eye on divisional social media to receive updates about spirit packs and convention information. I already created a “Division 33 DCON 2017 Attendees” Facebook Group so make sure to contact me to be added. Very shortly I will be sending out information about spirit packs and DCON shirts. All District Convention attendees are required to purchase a divisional shirt although the spirit packs are optional. If you’re not attending DCON and want to still buy a shirt I will be creating a separate Google Form for these members. Coming up we have our February DCM hosted by Federal Way High School, where we will be making posters and hug-me signs for convention so you don’t want to miss out! I’ll be trying my best to visit all schools in February so I’ll be contacting officers about this. Hope to see you all soon!

With love and service, Rheanna Borromeo, Division 33 Lt.G

INTRODUCING‌ YOUR NEW LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR! Hi everyone!

My name is Yuri Yi and I am your 2017-2018 LTG. I would like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to serve Key Club as your next Lt.G. I hope to bring smiles and laughter to each and everyone of you. A little about myself : I am a junior at Todd Beamer High School and I have been in key club since my freshman year. I have served as Club bulletin editor as well. Fun fact, I was a division 32 dragon for four months my sophomore year! I look forward to the upcoming term!

With love, Yuri Yi

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. Continue to stay up to date on this campaign at theeliminateproject.org.
