MESSAGE FROM YOUR LTG I hope that you all had a great summer and have also had fun with the first couple days of school that you have completed! A lot of you have probably already witnessed the work load and stress that are yet to come for this year, but no need to worry because it’s key club season! I hope everyone is ready to start a new year filled with new friends, new service projects, and new memories! My divisional officers and I have worked hard throughout the summer to help make this year the most successful it could possibly be just for you division 20i key clubbers, but it can only be successful with YOUR help. You may be thinking “well what could I possibly do to help?” and the answer to that is simply to attend divisional events that are planned by your divisional team. This upcoming year, we hope to increase attendance for Division Council Meetings (DCM) up by at least 50% more of who usually attend! I’m excited to be working with your clubs this upcoming year, thanks and I hope you all enjoy reading the September issue of THE DAILY SAMURAI!
In Care and Service,
Ria Bains

MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR LISA Dear PNW Key Clubbers, I hope everyone has had a great start of the school year, and you know what the start of the school year means... Your club’s first Key Club Meeting! Key Club is in full bloom, and I can’t wait to see what your clubs are doing for service and fundraisers! Remember, if you show how passionate you are for Key Club others will be inspired to join. Be proud to be a Key Clubber and remember to exemplify leadership and character, while always being inclusive and caring to those around you. Meeting all of you at the rallies was so inspiring; you are all constantly dedicating your time and love to the communities across the Pacific Northwest. I love how you represent key club with your pride and spirit while showing the dedication and compassion you hold for others. As always, remember the district board is here for the members and clubs. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your questions or concerns. I hope to see y’all at DCON 2015!

FUNDRAISING IDEAS FOR ELIMINATE Make miracle minutes class competitions at assemblies. If you have any Eliminate fundraisers, get the Leadership class involved, and/or other clubs. Have shoot outs during halftime for basketball games. People pay to shoot from the three point line, and they win something if they get it (there are many different variations to the basketball shoot out). Have people pay to try to kick a football into a field goal from a certain distance, and if they get it, they win something. Have miracle minutes at halftime for sports, but make sure to explain what the project is. Hold a coin drive or penny war class competition or school wide fundraiser where every 100 lives you save , a staff member gets punished or the school is rewarded (increments can vary). For example, 100 lives=Principal gets pied, 200 lives=Lip-synch by Chemistry and Algebra teacher, 300 lives=A teacher shaves their head, etc. “Kiss a senior goodbye” at the end of the year. You can either auction off seniors, or have a set price.
13
Another coin drive/penny war idea. Each grade gets its own jar in a common area. Dollar bills and pennies are positive points, everything else is negative. You put dollar bills and pennies in your own grade’s jar to increase their points, and dimes/quarters/nickels/etc. in other jars to decrease their points. Advertise by saying “Bring down the freshmen”, “Don’t let the seniors win”, etc. Have a volleyball tournament with staff vs. the players, seniors vs. staff, juniors vs. seniors, etc. where people pay for admission, admission fee goes to the Eliminate Project. Hold concessions at this event with the proceeds going to Eliminate. Ask the adults in charge of selling sports tickets to ask people who are purchasing the tickets if they would like to donate to the Eliminate Project. Have the ASB donate $2 per dance ticket sold, and on the back of the ticket write "I saved a mother and her future babies" or something along those lines. The advantage is that the people would go to dances anyway, are now contributing to the project. To clarify, you aren't increasing the price of the tickets by $2. Involve other clubs and the Leadership class to Trick-or-Treat for Unicef. Advised not to open it up to the whole school, tracking the money will get difficult. Have a dance where all proceeds go to eliminate!
14
Scare up some funds and fun this Halloween by participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF! Giving back for a change feels way better than getting candy too! All money collected by KiwanisFamily members throughout Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF will once again support the Eliminate Project and help save moms and babies! Message your Lt.G at riabains20i@gmail.com if you’re interested! “Did you know? A proud participant in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF since 1994, Key Club has raised more than $6 million for child survival and development programs around the worldfrom efforts to eliminate iodine deficiency disorder to HIV/AIDS initiatives in Kenya and Swaziland. Starting in 2012, Key club joined other Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs to Trick-or-Treat for UNICF to raise money for The Eliminate Projects.”
