AYEE, what’s up guys! Are you guy's excited for
school next month? IM NOT! I haven't even done
my summer homework, but there is something that I
am excited for this upcoming school year, and that’s
Key Club! I can’t wait till I get to be with my KC fam
every monday! From serving the community, to
whomever wins the contest on who gets the most money
for Trick or Treat for UNICEF, makes me predict that KC is
going to make my junior year fun. What’s going to even
make it more exciting is DCON 2015, and the best part of
DCON is showing my 20i spirit!!! Seeing so many like-
minded and very passionate people at DCON makes me
appreciate the club even more. Hopefully I get to see
more key clubbers from our division, so they can also
enjoy and experience all the wonderful memories that
we’ll make!

Hey, Pacific-Northwest! My name is Tashrima Hossain, and I’d like to introduce myself as the new International Trustee for your district. It is such an honor to be in your service, primarily by ensuring that your voices are heard at the international level during the upcoming year. I’m excited to join the PNW moose; I’ve already received so much enthusiasm from the Board, I’ve heard many great things about PNW, and I can’t wait to see all the great achievements your district has in store. To let you know a little about myself, I am from Cypress, Texas, which is a suburban area adjacent to the Houston border. In addition to Key Club, I devote much of my time to debate and Student Council— which often leaves with very little time for sleep! As a result, I’m a bit of a grandma, and I like spending much of my free time sleeping, reading, or just hanging out with friends. For those of you who would like to know more about my duties as International Trustee, I have a few basic responsibilities: attending International Board meetings, participating in a maximum of two district visits, and acting as a representative of the international level of Key Club. In addition, Governor Lisa and I completed a Governor-Trustee agreement, which identified the main expectations Lisa has of me, as your district’s Trustee; many of said goals revolve around constant communication and building positive Sister District relations—all of which are means to ensure that I effectively represent your views on the international level.
Additionally, I serve with Jenalee Beazley, Rip Livingston, Liz Moore, and Nicole Lema on the Growth and Communications Committee. There, we predominantly focus on fostering a connection between advisors and Kiwanis clubs, making Key Club a school-wide name, creating a “cool factor” for Key Club, empowering local clubs to publicize their work, creating a strategic growth plan for KCI, and creating an annual club census. We already have a very specific set of goals and action steps for the first quarter; I plan to update you all with any progress in that arena. During my term, I will stay committed to the goals I campaigned with, but more than that, I intend to actively serve as a resource for you all. If you have questions about amendments, elections, service, or general Key Club knowledge, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’m here as a resource, friend, and assistant in any way you may need. Call me, email me, Facebook me— I’m always ready to lend a hand.

P A L A Z Z O L O Hello, Key Clubbers!
My name is Maria Palazzolo, and I am so thankful to be your 2014-2015 Key Club International President! I was elected at the International Convention in Anaheim, California, about a month ago. It is a privilege to serve you and the rest of our 267,000 members.
As Key Clubbers, we have a unique perspective of the
world. We, as teenagers, get to make lasting impacts within our communities and throughout the world. I find it absolutely amazing that our organization is made of so many selfless individuals with one mission: to positively change the world.
As your International President, one of my main
goals is to make Key Club International more accessible to provide more ideas and opportunities to make your club the best it can be. This can be done through:
Webinars o On topics such as:
The $.50 dues increase Grants available to fund club projects,
such as the Youth Opportunities Fund {more information here: http://www.keyclub.org/service/fund/yof.aspx}
Twitter chats with International Board 9
We will also be promoting the Eliminate Project, which is the Kiwanis family’s campaign to raise $110 million by the end of 2015 to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the face of the planet. It nears its completion at the end of the year, and we need to work tirelessly to meet our goal. I will work with our International Vice President, Kevin Zhang, and our eleven International Trustees to meet these goals to make this year a productive one for our organization.
I hope to see all of you at our International
Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, next summer! Imagine 2,000 people who are just as focused on helping others as you are. It’s an absolutely amazing time. If you have any questions about Key Club International, International Convention, or would just like to talk to me, feel free to email me! Have a great year, and thank you for all that you do in your homes, schools, and communities!
Yours in service, Maria Palazzolo Key Club International President [email protected]

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 prenatal health and helping improve birth outcomes where the needs are the most urgent.
In the United States, 1 in 9 babies are born
prematurely.

Worldwide, 15 million babies are born too soon
