What is up, my amazing Sharks!
I have been through one month of
my term as Lieutenant Governor
and I have been LOVING it. All of
you have been so cooperative and
hard-working. I can tell this will be a
wonderful year. Keep that wonder-
ful spirit and shark pride all through-
out the year! Just remember that if you have any questions or con-
cerns, I will be glad to help you out. Give me a call, a text mes-
sage, whatever it may be— I will do my best to get the information
to you as quickly as I can.
With love and service,
Athena Sok

The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies
by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortali-
ty. Key Club members, like you, can support the March of Dimes
each semester: in the fall, raise awareness by hosting programs and
in the spring, raise funds by participating in March for Babies, the
March of Dimes largest annual fundraiser.
Wilson Key Club has created a joint team for Divisions 34 and 35 for
the walk of March of Dimes. Key Clubbers from both divisions are en-
couraged to find sponsors to walk for the March of Dimes. Our goal
as two divisions is $500!

One baby dies every 9 minutes
from MNT
160 babies die each day from MNT
38 countries re-main at high risk
for MNT
Kiwanis will help save or protect
more than 61 mil-lion mothers and their future babies
On average, health education and a
series of three dos-es of tetanus vac-cine cost $1.80
I am proud to announce the District Project for the year of 2013-2014: The Eliminate Project!
The Eliminate Project is a joint project with Kiwanis and UNICEF to internationally terminate MNT. In 30 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can
quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. Its effects are ex-cruciating– tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions
and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival.
MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach
and those without health care.
Neonatal tetanus kills one baby every nine minutes—nearly 60,000 newborn children every year. A significant number of women also die due to maternal tetanus. To eliminate MNT from the Earth, 129 million mothers and their future babies
must be immunized. It will take $110 million—and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.
If you would like more information, vis-it www.TheEliminateProject.org
Our goal as a district is $24,000. With each member contrib-uting $2, this goal can definitely be achieved.

Mt. Tahoma High School

Relay for Life is an organized, overnight
community fundraising walk that con-
sists of teams. Teams of people camp
around the track at Mt. Tahoma High
School. Each member of each time
takes turn walking around the track.
Food, games and activities are provid-
ed for entertainment and to build ca-
maraderie. Relay for Life is a family-
friendly environment for the entire com-
munity.
One of the things that makes Relay for
Life so special is the Luminaria Ceremo-
ny. This ceremony takes place after
dark, in honor and remembrance of
those people have lost to cancer. Can-
dles are lit inside the bags and they are
placed around the track. The sight of
seeing all the glowing bags is absolutely
breathtaking.
We Key Clubbers, serve to survive. It’s the
Service of the Fittest — TACOMA RALLY.
Tacoma Rally is a Key Club event which
brings together divisions all around the
Tacoma area. At this rally, incoming officers
receive training, prospective members learn
about Key Club, and everyone comes
together to work on one influential service
project! Expect an amazing day of fun and
games, including a ‘Rally Games’ and a very
special Key Note
Speaker. Put your
skills to the test and
serve them all!
