How do you plan to keep serving even when school is no

longer in session?

Now that it’s June, it’s

time to say our final farewell

to our Key Club Alumni. To

those of you who are

graduating, I hope that you

have gained valuable

experience and learned so

much as a member of Key

Club. I hope that you will all

continue to serve your

community and the world

no matter where you’re

headed.

To those of you who will

still be in Key Club, school

might be over and summer

might be in session, but

service and Key Club still go

on. We will still be having

DCMs and I highly

encourage all members to

attend Seattle Rally (Page

12).

Remember, this is a

perfect time to begin

planning your year, whether

academically or for Key

Club. Plan ahead and start

the next year off strong.

DIvision 21’s goals this year are to have all 13 clubs in their area have active status,

expand membership in the division, fundraise and increase awareness of Key Club

International and the Pacific Northwest District’s goals and projects, and have extensive

communication between all clubs regardless of distance.

However, our biggest goals are those stated by Key Club International:

To provide service, build character, and develop leadership.

The Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program, KCCP, in support of Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s

Cancer Program in Portland OR., Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program in Seattle WA., and the

Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program in British Columbia and the Yukon, will raise money and

awareness to fight and find the cure for children’s cancer.

The KCCP was founded by Past PNW Kiwanis Governor Frank Morehouse in 2010. His inspiration

was a young cancer patient named Penny. Morehouse worked at the hospital where Penny

stayed. Penny was diagnosed with a brain tumor and required surgery and radiation therapy.

Penny visited Morehouse during her hospital stays and talked about what was happening to her.

Sadly, Penny eventually lost her battle with cancer.

The KCCP is a long term project that will hopefully expand to a global program. Children’s

cancer affects many families. Thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and

with the help of research, their chances of surviving have more than tripled. KCCP hopes to be

a part of finding a cure.

“The Pacific Northwest is the beginning. The world is our goal.”

Come to the April

DCM! Year in Review

Glacier Peak High School This past year Glacier Peak's Key Club has helped out at many events such

as auditions, spaghetti feeds, and food drives. Our most successful event was

our food drive at Fred Meyers in Snohomish. We raised about $300 and

collected 1,330lbs of food and toiletries, which were donate to our local

Snohomish Food Bank. We feel very lucky to have the chance to give back

to our community.

Lynnwood High School This year, the Lynnwood Key Club was able to able to experience a tremendous growth in

membership after the District Convention. In the beginning of the year, it was a really

rough start for the club because of the small membership. In the fall, we participated in

the Special Olympics, many food drives and a few other projects here and there but

there weren't many events and active members. However, as more members started to

dedicate more of their time into the club, especially after some members went to DCON,

those members were able to go back to school to share and inspire more people to join

this amazing organization! After DCON, the new officers took over and many more events

were scheduled. The increase of membership also followed! Since then, the club has

participated in many events including, Kiwanis One Day, popcorn selling at Martha Lake

Elementary, Brainworks at Hilltop Elementary, Healthy Kids Day at the YMCA, the Kiwanis

Fundraiser & the Martha Lake Elementary School Carnival, which was a blast! The Martha

Lake Elementary School Carnival was probably one of the highlights of the year because

our club had a total of 122.5 hours from our 24 participants, for just that event! It was mind

blowing! The new officers and members have found a new love for Key Club that they do

plan on continuing into next year! This year was truly amazing in Key Club! Key Club

changes your life, it’s only a question of whether or not you're willing to give it a try.

Though we're a smaller club in our division, Lynnwood Key Club will definitely continue to

dive into service & show people that a smaller club can do just as much as a bigger club

can!
