DCON 2016

DCON RECAP
Hey whales,
The 67th annual District Convention was a blast,
friends were made and all divisions in the Pacific
Northwest District came together to celebrate ser-
vice. DCON was held at the Washington State Con-
vention Center in Seattle WA. Over 2,000 Key Club-
bers came together to share ideas and gain
knowledge to better their home, school, and com-
munity. Forums were held where many Key Clubbers
met new friends and learned more about the club
that they’re in. Next year for the 68th annual con-
vention DCON will be held in Portland, Oregon and it
will hopefully be the best one yet!
See you there Whales.

Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers,
My name is Juliet Yu and I’m your 2016-2017 District Governor. I am
both honored and thrilled to serve alongside the PNW District Board and
with caring leaders like you! Being apart of Key Club has been one of the
best experiences in my life and I can’t wait to continue this in our Pacific
Northwest District!
For our journey together, I truly believe this year will be one of the
greatest the Pacific Northwest District has ever seen. By taking the steps of
Service, Unity and a Kiwanis Family plan, we will see the heart of Key Club,
connection of our district, and reminders of our past/inspirations for our fu-
ture.
One of my mottos in life is “We over Me.” We together are equals in
creating an impact and change for this year and beyond. It’s not about me,
myself or I. We are all Key Clubbers with passion of calling Key Club our
adventure. So please feel free to message me anytime via email, Facebook
message or phone on any questions you have or if you want to talk.
In love and service,
Juliet Yu

Hey Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers!
My name is Bryan Lee and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve
you as your District Treasurer for the 2016-17 term. My goal this year is
to serve and increase connection with Lieutenant Governors and you, the
members. Through my quarterly Treasurer newsletters, I hope to provide
you the opportunity to learn and engage with the District. Similarly, I look
to increase contact with your Lt.Gs to ensure they have the information
necessary to help you. Throughout these past 3 years, I have had the op-
portunity to personally serve at every level in Key Club up to the District,
and one message that has never lost strength is the importance of assist-
ing the members. If you have any questions this year, don’t hesitate to
contact me: I’m still a Key Club member like you, and I’m only a message
away.
In Caring and Service,
Bryan Lee Pacific Northwest District Treasurer

Hello PNW!
My name is Audrey Chow and I am your 2016 - 2017 District Editor.
As an avid Key Clubber and a bit of a Photoshop geek, I am beyond excit-
ed to serve in a position where I am able to capture and curate your hard
work in our district newsletter, THE ESPRESSO. I plan on publishing four
seasonal publications during my term, in addition to making divisional
newsletters more accessible for the rest of the district. With the spirit and
eagerness to serve still buzzing from DCON, I am confident that great
days are ahead of us. Work together, lend a hand where you can, and
show the world that you are “Proud ‘N’ Willing to Serve!” Also, if you ever
need help or you just want to talk, don’t be afraid to say hello. Especially
you, bulletin editors!
In Service and Compassion,
Audrey Chow Pacific Northwest District Editor

Greetings Pacific Northwest District, I'm Amy Hung and I will be your Convention Chair for the 2016-
2017 service year. Through my experiences, I plan to make DCON 2017 an even greater DCON than the year before. A goal of mine for Conven-tion is to increase attendance and to strengthen workshops for all at-tendees. From serving as a member, club officer, Convention Aide, and now Convention Chair, I have learned that us Key Clubbers, all have the same objective. We all work together to make a difference in our home, schools, and communities. Like the great Troy Bolton once said, “we’re all in this together!”
If you have questions about this upcoming District Convention, please feel free to contact me through Facebook, text, call, or email!
In Love and Service,

March DCM Recap
Our March DCM was held at the United Way Building March 16 and it was a pre-con DCM. So the main activity was to make hug me signs and posters for DCON. Unfor-tunately no one who went took any pictures. So just a re-minder for any club members pictures at service events and DCM’s are greatly appreciated. And I hope everyone who went to this DCM had a good time thank you.

Hi, PNW Key Clubbers!
My name is Rip Livingston, and I am currently serving as your Interna-tional President for the 2015-2016 year.
As International President, my job is to lead our organization for the next year; to set the vision of what Key Club is, should be, and will be; to su-pervise and work with your 11 International Trustees, ensuring that they serve and work with your district properly; to unite all 33 districts under our common mission, and to do everything in my power to leave this or-ganization better than I found it when I leave office in 2016.
Key Club has an exciting year ahead of it! We’re entering the last decade of our first 100 years. We’re working everyday to make membership larg-er, stronger, and an experience that leaves all 270,000 satisfied.
As a Key Club member, you’ve chosen to be a part of something greater than yourself. Greater than your home club, your division, or even your district; you’ve chosen to be one of the thousands of hands Key Club In-ternational unites for the greater good around the word. As the saying goes, “United we stand; Divided we fall”: Let’s unite, Key Club. We’re a global network of smart, inspired, capable servant leaders. Can you imag-ine what we can do when we come together?
It’s an honor to be your leader this year. I wish you the very best in all of your endeavors this school year- Key Club and otherwise- and thank you sincerely for being a Key Clubber. Let’s have a fantastic year!
Best regards,
Rip Livingston
President, Key Club International
