YYEEHH Hey Dragons! Thank you so much for electing me as your Lt. Governor for 2013-2014. I have big shoes to fill and I hope that I will be able to carry on the legacy of Division 32. While keeping up with the traditions of my predecessors, I will try my best to implement my new ideas for fundraisers and member recognition. I am looking forward to working with each and every one of you thorough the year. You’re all amazing officers and members and I know that together we can make this upcoming year great.

DISTRICT PROJECT:

2012-2013

OUR DISTRICT PROJECT

This Year’s District Project is project:EDUCATE. The focus of this year’s District Project is the children and

education in the country of Jamaica. Behind the beautiful beaches and tropical atmosphere is a world full of poverty and destitution. Our goal is to create a better future for the children of Jamaica through education, one school at a time. As a district, we have made our

goal $30,000. We believe that education is the right of every child and with the help of the Jamaica District we can strive for success. Project:EDUCATE became the first of its kind as joint project between Jamaica and

Pacific Northwest Districts

GET INVOLVED!

Get your members and club involved by fundraising for

project:EDUCATE; anybody can join in and help support the schools in Jamaica. There are a variety of ways for your club to fundraise, such as t-shirts and wristbands. Each club has the opportunity to sell

project:EDUCATE shirts ($10), as well as wristbands ($1) in order to gain support for the schools. Please contact your Lt. Governor if you are interested in

participating.

What is MNT? In 38 countries around the world maternal and

neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of

childbirth into a tragedy. MNT kills one baby every

nine minutes. Its effects are excruciating – tiny

newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and

extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little

hope of survival and tetanus also kills the mother.

How does Key Club help? With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International

and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate

maternal and neonatal tetanus. It will take $110

million to fund all the vaccines, syringes, safe

storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff &

more—and the dedicated work of UNICEF and

every member of the Kiwanis family.

What is your favorite quote? “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. WE are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us ; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” –Coach Carter If you could have any super power, what would it be and why? The power to teleport. Distance has always been a problem and with teleportation, distance would no longer matter. I would be able to travel wherever I want and whenever I want to. I could visit anyone I want. I would also be reducing my carbon footprint and the consumption of oil.

If you were stuck on an island, what three items would you bring with you? An iPhone, unlimited food/water, and a knife. I’d use the knife to fend off any foes and also carve myself a nice thrown to sit in as I wait for my servants to arrive.

What is your favorite part of Key Club? My favorite part of Key Club is giving back to the community. We all live by the motto “Caring – our way of life” which has been my motto since the day I realized my own existence. I love to help others and it doesn’t hurt that I am able to meet people who feel the same way as I do through various service projects.

DISTRICT CONVENTION GET READY TO DIVE INTO SERVICE!

Mark your calendars for March 22nd- 24th , 2013! Pacific Northwest District Convention (DCON) 2013 is approaching faster than you may realize! The PNW District Board wants Key Club to experience the deeper meaning of service and dive into another great year with Key Club. Yes, you guessed it! The DCON 2013 theme is ‘Diving into

Service’! This is the time of year when members get to meet other Key Clubbers form the PNW, learn more about service projects, have the chance to show their divisional spirit, and elect the 2013-2014 District Board! One District Convention Chair, Andy Nguyen, and the rest of this District Board are working hard to put together a great DCON (so you don’t want to miss out on this!)

It is important for members to make sure to stay in contact with their Lt. Governor on whether they are on the right track to DCON. Communication within each division is very important in order to stay updated on DCON. Lastly, the Call to Convention video is out! So, get a sneak peek into the whole experience by watching the PNW Call to Convention 2013 video on YouTube! See you all at DCON!
