Dear Division 27,
August has started which
means summer is coming
to an end. :( But that
doesn't mean there isn’t
enough time to keep serv-
ing the community! Along
with doing community ser-
vice, it is a great time to
visit your local Kiwanis
clubs. :)
Seattle Rally is in less than
a week! If you are free on
August 13th, please try to
attend this. Officers will
get trained and members
will be able to meet Key
Clubbers from all over the
Seattle area. There will be
about 450+ Key Clubbers!
Including our Internation-
al Trustee Calvin Leung! If
you liked DCON you will
enjoy Seattle Rally!
In this newsletter you will
find important dates, back
to school ideas, officer of
the month, district projects
and sponsors, and Kiwanis
information!
I hope that everyone is en-
joying the rest of their
summer and ready to

Club! Enjoy the rest of
your summer and keep
serving!

Back to School
As the school year is coming, it is time for us to recruit new members! It
may be challenging to gather new members but here are some helpful
ideas to encourage your classmates and new students!
A great way for students at your
school to learn about Key Club is
during orientation. Clubs are able to
talk about what they do and why
their great, and this is a great op-
portunity to talk about Key Club!
Another way of getting Key Club
noticed at your school is by putting
up posters around school and hav-
ing the morning announcements
talk about when and where the
meetings are.
During the first meeting lure the kids
with food. Everyone loves food so
having food in the meetings always
attracts teenage kids. Having pizza or
baked goods are a great way to en-
courage the students into joining key
club :)
Join
Key Club!

Officer of the Month
This officer of the month is Lisa Matsumoto!
She is the president at Lake Washington
High School. She has been in Key Club
since sophomore year and has made a
great impact in their club. She is an out-
standing officer, attending the monthly
DCM’s, continually serving the community,
and a great leader! Thanks for being such a
great officer and keep up the great work!
Here is some more information about Lisa!
What is the best part of Key Club for you?
The best part of Key Club for me is the
dedication and sense of community. Eve-
ryone is so devoted and excited to help
out, making each event enjoyable and at
the same time, gratifying. Key Club is also
such a tightly knitted community, making it
easy to strengthen friendships and even
create new relationships with other mem-
bers. Key Club is so amazing because just
by joining, I have made so many strong
bonds with people I would have never
been able to before.
Favorite season: Spring
Favorite candy: Sour gummy worms
Favorite quote: "So keep your head high,
keep your chin up, and most importantly,
keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing
and there's so much to smile about."

Favorite fruit: White peaches
Favorite singer: Brian McKnight

Hershey’s Track and Field
Games! Key Club is newly part-
nered with this organization. The
HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games
is the largest youth sports pro-
gram of its kind in the United
States and Canada. Events
take place in every state and
most provinces in North Ameri-
ca, and hundreds of athletes
make it to the grand finale —
the North American Final in Her-
shey, Pennsylvania.
International Projects and Sponsors
With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and
UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and
neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of
nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number
of women each year. The effects of the disease are ex-
cruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful
convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies
must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands
of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF
and every member of the Kiwanis family.
Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of
the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, they are eliminating
MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most
neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one
disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.
