newsletter PNW Division 27 Official Newsletter Volume 3 Issue 7
Greetings Happy October, Division 27! I hope you’re all having a great start to the school year. As the back-to-school madness subsides, be sure to fuel your spirit of service! This month, there are many ways to contribute to our district project, whether it be seasonal fundraisers or participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF! Get creative! There is a plethora of opportunities for your club to get active! We’ve reached some great heights for the district project this last month. Thanks to Pullman High School’s garage sale and Division 74’s benefit concert, we surpassed the landmark of $12,000 for the Eliminate Project! We’re half way there! Don’t forget that we’ll be creating a “team” for the Turkey Trot! See following pages for more information. Always feel free to contact me with any questions. I’d love to help you out. Have a great day, and I’ll see you at the DCM! With love & service,
Ashley Yoo

September DCM Recap
)
!)
Despite the bipolar weather on that Saturday, clubbers gathered at the Houghton Plaza Starbucks for our September DCM. We had a few District Board guests and some time for cardmaking, but in case you missed it, here are a couple main points: - DUES: Early bird deadline: Nov 1st! Contact Ashley or Eric Grewal if you have trouble with the MUC. -Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF: Money goes to ward the Eliminate Project, so contributions DO count toward our district goal. PLEASE report to Ashley how much your club raises. -Cards for Children’s Hospital: We began a small project for the oncology department of Seattle Children’s, making cards to brighten their day. If your club would like to contribute, please bring your finished cards to the October DCM! -Turkey Trot: we decided to create a divisionwide group for Hopelink’s annual 5K. See later pages for more information.

PNW Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEF Contest: Who as the BEST costume for trick-or-treating for UNICEF? Have your club members Instagram or tweet their pictures of their Halloween costumes with the hashtag: #PNWKEYCLUB. They could be featured on the website or PNW Instagram! **Remember, please make the costumes appropriate. If you have to question it, it probably isn’t decent.
