Make this newsletter
yours!
It’s dues season! With all of
the Key Clubs back in session,
it’s time to make our members
official! Treasurers ,this is your
time to shine! Organize your
members, input them into the
database, and submit the dues
to International by our divisional
goal of November 1st! If you
have any issues, contact me or
Eric Grewal!
When dues are out of the
way, we can all focus on the
most important aspect of Key
Club. You guessed it. That
aspect is service. This month, I
am encouraging everyone to
make this newsletter truly
Division 21’s newsletter by
contributing stories and pictures
form your events and project.
Show us what your club as done
and ask for support from your
fellow hive-mates. Showcase
your work in the community and
spread your ideas! All you have
to do is email me!
Also remember to attend
DCMs! DCMs are a great way to
find out more about Key Club,
get to know others, and increase
your passion for service. Not to
mention the free food! Please
take a look at the DCM page for
this month since we have a big
and very impactful project this
month!
I hope you have an amazing
year and stay KEYnected!
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.

A Word from the Board
Hi, Key Clubbers! How do you feel?! :) I hope that your first quarter
of school went fantastically. I also hope that you guys are done
with International member registration! Now, it’s time to get your
members active! Officers should check the International deadline
for the required hours and notify them to the members, so they
can feel more responsible and keep track of their hours. Also, there
should be an active and effective communication between the
officers and the members: it’s crucial for keeping the whole club
active! Facebook page or Remind101 would be helpful. Treasurers,
come up with some fundraising events for your club to do! Bulletin
Editors, get your members involved in your monthly newsletters!
Secretaries, send notes to inactive members and keep track of all
the club events and activities! Presidents and Vice Presidents,
come up with a way to make your club meetings more interesting!
There should be tons of ways to get your clubs more intriguing. I
hope that your club is active and your officers are cooperating
well. If you need any help or have any questions, please don’t
hesitate to contact us Divisional officers or other Key Clubbers! BEE
ACTIVE! :)

Hey Key Clubbers! I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am
in Key Club! It has been a pleasure getting to know the members
in my club and in the division better through working on various
service projects together last month! I am so excited for the
November DCM this month! I strongly encourage everyone to go
to this DCM! The November DCM was the first DCM I went to as a
sophomore last year and it really left a deep impression on me.
The November DCM was what changed my initial perspective
on Key Club. Since then, I always attend DCMs because they’re
so much fun! The people you meet and the projects you do
together create such a positive and warm atmosphere that
can’t be completely described in one sentence. It’s the
exchanging of ideas, the crazy games and the service projects
we do that bonds us together like a family. This is what happens
at DCMs naturally. If you’re the shy type and you’re hesitant of
going to an event where you may not know all the people at,
don’t worry! People in the division will talk to you if you’re too
scared to approach them first! Key Clubbers are either really
weird, really friendly or both! That’s the beauty of Key Club. It’s a
club where you can completely be yourself in and not feel like
you’re ever judged for who you are. Caring is our way of life. We
care about you.

Hello there, bees! I hope you’re enjoying the chilly weather,
because it’s only to get even worse! Let’s hope for snow this
year… Anyways, I would like to remind you guys sittin’ in yer
chairs right yonder that the November DCM is coming up
fast! As well, we’re now accepting stories of your life in the
KC, in addition to any pictures that you may have!
Remember to bundle up for the upcoming chilly days, or
else you might get the flu and turn (Walking Dead
reference). Remember to hug that person next to you tight,
even if it’s a complete stranger, and enjoy the rest of
autumn!

- With Thanksgiving around the corner, this
month is all about giving and being
thankful. Contribute back to your
community by working at a food bank!
There are food banks all around the area
that would love to get more volunteers.
- Hosting a food drive is also a great service
project for this time of year! Food drives
are simply and extremely rewarding. There
are many different groups and
organizations doing food drives now, so
book yours fast!
Presidents Presidents need to fill out this survey by
the 5th of every month to provide a
short update. This is to better
communication between the division
and clubs and help clubs. Vice

For Officers
Key Club week was last week!
How did you promote Key
Club and your passion for
service?
If you didn’t have a Key Club
week, set up your own! There
is no wrong time to promote
Key Club and Service!
MONDAY- Show your K in every
way
TUESDAY- Kudos to the Key
players.
WEDNESDAY- Connect the Ks
THURSDAY- Bring a friend to Key
Club
FRIDAY- Your way
Did you Trick-or-Treat to save
lives this year? Email/message
me how much you raised! Also
let me know if your club
participated in a different kind
of service project on
Halloween! This information will
be used for the December
newsletter, so pictures would
also be appreciated!
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.”

It’s that time of the year again! It feels like I just started my term just a month ago. But,
once again, it’s time for Lieutenant Governor Elections! The
information above is extremely tentative. If you are
interested in the position, please attend the November
DCM since we will have a little meeting to go over more
information about what the position entitles. Anybody can
run! However, there can only be one candidate per club! If
you are interested in running, please let me know so I can
make sure to schedule it for when it will work best for
everyone!
Lieutenant Governor Elections already?! Yup! And that also means that elections for next year’s
club officers isn’t far away! That also means that we’re that
much closer to DCON 2014!

Tanks $15
T-Shirts $15
If you or your members are
interested, let me know before
November!
