Transcript of The Buzz: June 2013
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.

What will DIVISION 21 do?
ELIMATE is the District Project this year so we will definitely participate!
Stay tuned to find out what Division 21 will do this year to ELIMINATE MNT!
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.

Glacier Peak High School Key Club President
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!
