GREETINGS From your Lieutenant Governor Hello Toucans! November is not only the month of appreciation, but also the month of Kiwanis! This month is Kiwanis Family Month, so please get connected with your sponsoring Kiwanis! Even if you did not gets dues in on November 1st, it’s still not too late to submit them! December 1st is the absolute last day to get dues in, so please try to do so if you have yet to send them in. The Call to Convention will be released shortly, which means that DCON is coming up soon! The final registation will be due on January 19th. If you have not, please promote DCON to your members so that our division can have a great group this year! Also, congrats on all you have done for Trick or Treat for Unicef! If you have raised money, please fill out a giving form and send it into Kiwanis International. The last date for this years money to be counted is December 31st, so please try to get your money in by then! As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! With love and in caring service,
Josh Kim Lieutenant Governor, Division 27
“If you light yourself on fire with passion, people will come from miles away to watch you burn” -IP District Secretary Hakikat Bains
GREETINGS From your District Treasurer Hey Key Club Treasurers! This is Aneesh Pappu, your district treasurer. I hope you are all having a wonderful and productive school year and, for all you seniors, I hope that college applications are going well! We are currently in the midst of my favorite time of the year – dues season! Dues season runs until December 1st and is the time frame in which all clubs must submit dues in order to be a part of Key Club International. Although there are many service organizations aside from Key Club that do not require payments to join, there is no group that provides you with the same level of opportunities as we do. When you pay dues to join, you’re joining an international organization with ties and projects all over the world. Your dues provide you with the opportunity to fundraise for projects such as the Eliminate Project in order to cure deadly diseases around the world. The benefits don’t stop there however; joining Key Club provides you and your club with resources to succeed. As a paid member, you and your club immediately receive the benefits of district support ranging from the help of your Lieutenant Governor and District Executive Officers to the aid of the adult Kiwanians who support us in each and every endeavor we undertake. As we enter October a very important deadline for dues submission is arriving – Early Bird dues are due November 1st. Although it is not required to meet this deadline, submitting your club’s dues by this time comes with a myriad of benefits, including priority seating at DCON and an Early Bird patch for your club’s banner. In order to meet this deadline, each club must submit $12.50 per member for at least 15 members through the Membership Update Center (MUC), which can be found at www.keyclub.org/MUC. If you have not logged into the MUC this school year yet, it is crucial that you sit down with your adviser, login, and begin the registration process. If you have any issues with login credentials, be sure to email memberservices@kiwanis.org and include me as well (apappu97@gmail.com). After the Early Bird deadline, the final deadline for dues submission is December 1st. Unfortunately, clubs who do not submit their dues by this date will be placed on delinquent status, which can eventually translate into suspended and even inactive statuses for clubs. In order to avoid this, I highly recommend that you finish the dues process as soon as possible! I am also always available to assist if you have any issues, so don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or Facebook message if you ever need to! Happy Dues Season! In Caring & Service, Aneesh Pappu Pacific Northwest District Treasurer Key Club International apappu97@gmail.com

WHETHER THEY SUFFER FROM COMMON CHILDHOOD AFFLICTIONS LIKE ASTHMA AND BROKEN BONES, OR FIGHT BIGGER CHALLENGES LIKE BIRTH DEFECTS OR CANCER, CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITALS PROVIDE COMFORT, TREATMENT AND HOPE TO MILLIONS OF SICK KIDS.

CHARITIES unicef “WORKING TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER FOR CHILDREN” The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's work, and other efforts in support of the world's children, through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States. UNICEF does whatever it takes to save and protect the world's most vulnerable children. Forty years ago, UNICEF figured out that promoting simple, low-cost interventions like hand washing and breastfeeding could save millions of lives. Undaunted by war or geography, UNICEF delivers.
march of dimes “FOR MOMS AND BABIES EVERYWHERE” In local communities across the country, we're helping moms take charge of their health, and supporting families when something goes wrong. The March of Dimes also acts globally: sharing best practices in perinatal health and helping improve birth outcomes where the needs are the most urgent.
25 countries still have MNT
$1.80 USD is enough to save a baby
This year, the Kiwanis Family has made a huge impact in our project to Eliminate MNT. Babies now die once every 11 minutes instead of once every 9! With the Eliminate Project officially coming to a close in 2015, there is still a long way to go until the K-Family reaches the $110 million mark!
