A word from your LtG
Happy New Year, Key Clubbers! I hope you’ve
had a good winter break and fantastic start to
2015! I hope you’re ready for DCON 2015! Don’t
forget; your paperwork and registration are due
no later than January 24th. Talk to your clubs
about transportation and funding for it if you
haven’t already!
I’m happy to announce the election of Pearl
Cutting; the incoming Lieutenant Governor!
She will take office in my place during DCON
and serve for the following year. I can tell she is
going to do an amazing job! You can read a
bit more about her on page 8.
Let’s make 2015 a year to remember! Not only
for ourselves but also for the people we serve
and love on a daily basis! See you at DCON!

A word from your LtG Elect
Hello! My name is Pearl and I am so excited to
be your new Lieutenant Governor and to
meet all of you! I am a junior at North Eugene
High School and before this I served as the
Vice President for our club.
I have many hobbies, including skiing, water
polo, playing bass, hanging out with my
friends, and listening to music. I love the
outdoors and being active.
For the upcoming school year, I plan to create
more service projects to participate in as a
division, not just as individual schools. I hope to
do more outdoor oriented projects to benefit
not only the community but also the
environment.
If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to
contact me at

A word from your Trustee
Happy 2015, Pacific-Northwest!
I’m so glad that we have finally made it.
After a swamped first semester of school, a
myriad of Key Club events, and a relaxing
holiday vacation, I’m sure you all are so
excited to welcome in the New Year. A lot of
people see this this month as a time of
resolutions. However, I think it can better be
characterized as a time to reflect and look
forward to the future. What awesome things
have you all done so far with your time in Key
Club? How will you make the most of the rest
of this year?
Thus far, I have seen Key Clubbers do some
spectacular things. Shout out to Tasmia
Ahmed and her division for collecting 70 gift
cards for sex trafficked survivors in Portland.
Shout out to the Communications
Committee for completely renovating the
face of the Pacific-Northwest district website.
Shout out to Kevin Zhang for bringing the
“bowl” to #palabowlo. These Key Clubbers
have inspired us to do great things.
11
What’s even more exciting is that there’s still so
much to come. Whether it’s participating in
“Service to Infinity and Beyond” at the 2015 District
Convention or finally reaching our goal for The
Eliminate Project, the coming months have much
in store. Don’t feel the need to make new
resolutions; your passion for service, leadership,
and camaraderie will naturally take the district to
new heights this 2015.
In terms of the international level, there are several
items we can anticipate together. First of all, 2015 is
our year to eliminate maternal/neonatal tetanus
(MNT) from the face of the planet! We’re taking
things to a whole new level. The International
Board has its own personal pen fundraiser (I’m
bringing them to DCON!), and if all of Key Club
International can raise an additional $80,000,
board members will be kissing an octopus at our
winter board meeting. (Yes, I’m very scared. But I
do it fo’ da Eliminate!)
For clarity, our winter board meeting will be held in
Detroit, Michigan, from January 22 to 25, 2015. The
board meeting agenda has already been posted
to the Key Club website. If you have any questions,
or if you’d like me to bring an additional topic to
the board, don’t hesitate to reach out.
12
Finally, with this year’s International
Convention swiftly approaching, it’s
definitely an event we can eagerly look
forward to. Held from June 24 to 28, 2015,
in Indianapolis, the home of Key Club
International headquarters, this will be an
experience you don’t want to miss.
Because it is the 100th anniversary of
Kiwanis, a lot of our programs will be held
in conjunction with Circle K and Kiwanis
members, making for a whopping
estimate of 12,000 attendees. We have
some awesome events planned; we’ll be
renting out an entire street of
Indianapolis, Hellogoodbye will be
performing, and we’ll be surrounded by
tons of fun things to do (i.e. free
museums, bikes to ride around the city,
zoos, etc.). It’s the event of a lifetime, so
start fundraising and planning now!
Indeed, 2014 may have brought much
positivity and joy –especially in Key Club
International— but I’m sure 2015 can
offer even more. Have a great year,
everyone!

Children’s Miracle Network is a nonprofit organization that raises money to benefit hospitalized kids while increasing
awareness of its member hospitals. All CMN Hospitals contributions directly benefit hospitals, helping to
purchase up-to-date equipment, train staff, conduct life-saving research, implement outreach programs and provide health care for children whose parents can’t
afford to pay
UNICEF, the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to children, works with other United
Nations bodies, governments and non-governmental organizations to assist in children’s needs through
community-based services in primary health care, basic education, and safe water and sanitation in more than 150
developing countries.
The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. March of Dimes was founded by our 32nd President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the fight
against polio. After the discovery of the polio vaccine, March of Dimes focused their efforts to improve the
health of babies and has been successful with the help and enthusiasm of many grassroots volunteers.

The Eliminate Project
Nineteen years ago, Kiwanis International made a pledge, a commitment to fixing one of the major tragedies in the world today; Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus. Before the Eliminate fundraising campaign, MNT was responsible for the deaths of 60,000 babies every year.
Since Kiwanis and UNICEF teamed up to fight this terrible disease, the campaign has gained support and publicity beyond what we could even imagine Kiwanis and UNICEF have made it their goal to not only decrease the number of deaths, but to eliminate MNT altogether. It only takes $1.80 to vaccinate a woman and all of her future children.
The campaign has already raised
more than 53 million dollars and
has eliminated MNT from 34
countries! The goal that UNICEF
and Kiwanis have set is to raise
$100 million by the completion of
the project in 2015. If that goal is
reached, it would be enough to
successfully eliminate Maternal
and Neonatal tetanus from the
planet entirely. We can’t do it
without you!
