A Word from Your

Lt. Governor

DRAGONS ARE IN THE HOUSE!

Hello Division 32! I hope you all had an amazing summer full of fun and service. We are now moving onto the next chapter of the year, autumn! Going back to school should be an exciting experience. For some, this is your last first day of school and for others it is only the beginning of their Key Club journey.

The fall time is important when it comes to paying dues. The dues become payable on Oct. 1st and there is a new membership update center that Key Club International has just released. I will keep you all updated on how to pay dues and use this new system. This year I am hoping that all of you send your dues in early and on-time See you next time!

In Love and Service, Nguyen Huynh, Lt. G Division 32 Lt. G Pacific Northwest District [email protected]

AMBASSADORS

The committee will be thoroughly picking over Key

Club International’s Bylaws and Policies to help eliminate

discrepancies, provide clarification, and correct

structural/grammatical issues. It will not be altering content. The Bylaw Review Team will present its suggestions to the Key Club

International Executive Committee, who may then

choose which revisions to take to the Key Club International

Board.

The committee will serve to highlight the diversity and international flavor of our

organization, as well as promote our core value of “inclusiveness”

as a way to attract more members. The Global Task

Force will help draft educational resources and

collect stories and video for further use by the standing International committees.

http://tinyurl.com/9y9of78

Our Service Ambassadors will help promote the Eliminate Project and our Preferred

Charities by encouraging Key Club members to participate to know how to participate with the Eliminate Project and our Preferred Charities. We hope

they will indirectly make service attractive for members by

displaying their own personal passion for the Eliminate Project and our Preferred

Charities in all aspects of their lives.

The ELIMINATE PROJECT

$2 = Protection for mother +

future babies

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.

Why focus on this issue?

It is unacceptable that newborns and their

mothers suffer from such an easily

preventable disease. It is also a great

opportunity for us to reach out to the

poorest mothers and newborns and be

able to provide lifesaving healthcare.

Developing a delivery system for these

vaccines will greatly help families in third-

world countries.

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.

SAY WHAT? Our District Governor, Giovanni

McKenzie, chose Project: Educate as this year’s

governor project. We will be working with the

Jamaican District to help raise funds for the

education of kids in Jamaica.

HOW CAN I HELP? Each Lieutenant Governor was given

the opportunity to sell T-shirts ($15) and wrist bands ($1) to help

support this cause. If you are interested in buying

one, please contact your Lt. G. Your club can also

help by planning a fundraiser to help raise funds.
