Key Club International
Southridge Key Club stands as one of the 5000 clubs nationwide.
Internationally, Key Club is active in over 30 countries, each with the
same goal: helping the world. The Key Club Mission Statement is to
provide its members with opportunities to provide service, build
character and develop leadership. That’s why we stand 267,000
members strong. The Key Club colors are blue, gold, and white; they signify unwavering
character, service, and purity. Currently, KCI’s focus is on The Eliminate Project, eliminating
Neo-natal Tetanus in all countries saving mothers and their future babies. KCI teams up with its
three partner organizations, March of Dimes, Children’s Miracle Network, and UNICEF. Key
Club raised almost $1.8 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, saving over 14
million children annually. March of Dimes, founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
continues to improve the health of babies in discovering vaccines. The polio vaccine was
discovered through March of Dimes and Key Club support. Trick-or-Treat for
UNICEF helped raise $5 million in almost two decades! After Key Club, there’s
Circle K and Kiwanis International.

Message from the President!
HEY KEY CLUBBERS!
What an honor it is to be the newly elected incoming Key Club President! As
the incoming president, I will work diligently to ensure that each member is
given the opportunity to make a difference. With my last year of high school
and Key Club approaching, I look forward to doing big things! Although there
will be a large range of events and projects, my emphasis will be primarily
on improving education by promoting a positive ambiance in our school. Let
me know if at any time you have ideas for projects or causes near and dear
to your heart that you would like to assist.
To those of you who know me and my dedication to Key Club – prepare to
witness that devotion reach new heights! To those of you whom I have not
had the pleasure to personally meet yet, anticipate a driven, fun, spirited
leader who’s really, really loud when it comes to cheering (who also enjoys
baking cookies, cupcakes, etc.) I hope I can inspire some of you as the
past presidents and officers have inspired me. It may seem far-fetched to
think that you can make a difference in the world, but in reality it’s as simple
as coming up with an idea and bringing it to Key Club! I look forward to
another year of excellence and impeccable service with you all!
In Loving Service,
Katie Chanthakhoun
Current Vice President
Incoming President

Pre-Con(vention)
On Saturday, January 19, some members
went to the Rose Quarter to get excited
about DCON!! Essentially, it was a mini
DCON with the same jam-packed fun.
They mingled with memebrs from all over
the district and watched the Trailblazers
take on the Bucks. During Pre-Con,
District Board officers talked about
Key Club’s goal, successes and meaning.
Everybody playedicebreakers and showed
Key Club spirit. Over 200 members
from 6 different divisions came. Three schools
represented 65! Forest Grove essentially
brought their entire club!
All in all, the convention was a spectacular
way to prepare for the big event: DCON!
DCON
District Convention, a weekend filled
with fun and dedication. Experience
a one-in-a-lifetime Key Club dream in
SeaTac, Washington. Meet Key
Clubbers from Alaska, Canada,
Washington, Idaho, Northern
California, and others from Oregon!
Imagine 1500+ members decked out
in full spirit gear, competing and
cheering for the Spirit Stick. There are
forums (training and entertainment),
a dance, games, and a Service Fair.
Prepare to lose your hearing and
voice. Interested? Contact one of
the officers for more information! Go
Pacific Northwest!

all forces which tend to
undermine these constitutions.
