Lieutenant Governor Hey Krakens!

As we sadly say goodbye to summer and begin school, I hope you’re all preparing for the start of Key Club meetings. Thank you to everyone who came to the August Joint DCM with 32! We raised over $80 from the miracle minute for KCCP and made about 150 non-slip socks for the Seattle Children’s Hospital!

Our September DCM is coming up soon so keep an eye out for the Facebook event page, and make sure to advertise this to all of your new members! September is the perfect time to increase membership and advertise Key Club throughout your school, so make sure you’re posting up flyers and posters! Dues season is also upon us, so stress this to your clubs! That’s all for now, till next time, stay Kraken!

In love and service,

Rheanna Borromeo Rheanna Borromeo Division 33 Lt. Governor

International Trustee!

Greetings, Pacific Northwest District!

My name is Nicole Montana, and I am honored to introduce myself as your new International Trustee. This year, I will be serving the Kansas, Louisiana-Mississippi-West Tennessee, and Pacific Northwest Districts, and I feel so lucky to be working with you all in the coming year.

I’m from the New England and Bermuda District, and I’m from Marshfield, Massachusetts, a small beach town just south of Boston, where I’m going into my senior year. I’m on my school’s Mock Trial team and am a part of my Drama Club, but when I started high school three years ago, Key Club was the first club I joined.

The time I’ve spent and the people I’ve met in Key Club have changed my life and allowed me to meet some of my best friends. As your International Trustee I’m here to ensure that you can make the most of your time in Key Club. I’m here to be the link between you and Key Club International, to ensure that you have a voice in our organization, and that you’re informed about what’s going on at the International level. I hope that during this year, I get to many of you and that you feel comfortable coming to me as both a resource and as a fellow Key Club member.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime by email or at 781-738-8623. I'm also on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, so feel free to add me there as well!

This is going to be an amazing year and I'm so excited to see what we all accomplish!

In friendship and service, Nicole Montana

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.
