Words from our LTG HEY D38W ROBOTS! I hope you all have been doing well! As you all know, DISTRICT CONVENTION is quickly coming up! That is where you will have the opportunity to learn more about Key Club from a DISTRICT perspective. Our District being Cali-NevHa! You’ll be able to attend workshops on various different topics, interact with other Key Club members and make new friends, elect the new District Executive Board for 2013-2014, dance the night away at the Governors Ball, or if dancing isn’t your thing, attend alternate activities full of fun icebreakers and games! Also, at DCON, the board for 2012-2013 will officially retire, and the 2013-2014 board will be officially installed! This will be a huge moment for myself and D38W’s Lt. Governor elect, Cecilia Nguyen! She will be installed and officially begin her term as your new Lt. Governor on the last day of DCON, and thus my term will be complete. Together, we will be able to celebrate a year of service and memories we’ve shared together as a Robot Ohana, as well as celebrate this new transition of leadership and service. I look forward to truly making the most of what is left of the 2012-2013 Key Club Year with the wonderful D38W Ohana!

The Pediatric Trauma Progra Programm What is PTP? The Pediatric Trauma Program was established by the Kiwanis Cali - Nev - Ha Foundation in 1994, focusing on the needs for education and training in injury prevention and pediatric trauma. Their mission statement is Ęşto develop local projects, which will reduce the number of children in our district who are killed or injured by trauma.Ęş The leading cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States is pediatric trauma, or unintentional injury. Every year, more children die from easily be preventable pediatric trauma than all childhood diseases combined!
What Can I Do To Help? You can help your club and the division provide awareness and prevent pediatric trauma by making sure the community is educated on safety and any possible hazards, having a donation drive on items such as bicycle helmets and child safety seats, and much, much more! You can also assist the children that were involved in trauma by collecting items of comfort, such as stuffed animals and blankets, to donate. You can even make cards to help cheer up the children!

Project ELIMINATE Eliminating Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus
ARE YOU READY TO HELP? A birth of a newborn is a joyous event in any lifetime. However, in 38 different countries, that amazing event can quickly turn into a tragedy. With the Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease takes the life of one baby every nine minutes — nearly 60,000 innocent babies every year. That’s 60,000 babies a year that will never grow up, play with friends, hear their mother’s laugh, or even dream about their future. A significant number of women also die due to maternal tetanus. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. Learn more about The Eliminate Project at www.TheEliminateProject.org.
Roughly $1.80 for 3 doses of tetanus vaccine Just $2 = Protection for mothers + future babies

District Project—
Project Jump start
Last year, the California-Nevada-Hawaii District began a new district project: Project Jump Start. This 2-year project is geared towards providing children from ages 0-5 a jump start during the most crucial years of an infant’s life. Project Jump Start is a great way to give back to your communities and give infants the jump start they need to succeed, one baby step at a time. The potential of Division 38 West is more than enough to make an impact on our communities through Project Jump Start. Project Jump Start allows children to have a successful childhood, and to one day grow to be competent, caring leaders like each and every one of us are today. By providing this support to young children, we are giving them the opportunity to grow and become strong-willed individuals. Not only does this project affect our communities, but it goes as far as to provide a benefit to children internationally. By focusing on children’s education, health, safety, and wellbeing – we will be giving children all around the world equal opportunities to have a fresh and vibrant beginning, a jump start. Now here’s the fun part: how to get involved. Simply, by finding a project, or even better, making your own. Working with local organizations is a great way to get involved in the District Project. Even Key Club International’s service partners: UNICEF, Children’s Miracle Network, and March of Dimes support our objectives in Project Jump Start. The amounts of service projects are endless, so what are you waiting for? I’m looking forward to hearing about your club participating in Project Jump Start. By submitting articles, visuals, and a description of your project to Jeanie Paek at d38w.cnhkc.divnews@gmail.com, you have a chance to be spotlighted on the CNH Cyberkey for the whole district to see your involvement in the District Project. Subjects in any visuals you submit must sign a photo release form, which can be found on the Cyberkey. Together, Division 38 West can make an impact: one baby step at a time.
