A letter from the International Vice president Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers! Over this past week, I along with 39 other PNW Key Clubbers and six Kiwanis chaperones had the opportunity to attend the 71st annual International Convention in the vibrant city of Anaheim, California. While there, we had the opportunity to attend educational workshops, meet Key Clubbers from across the world, and elect the 2014-2015 Key Club International Board. I am truly humbled and honored to announce that I was chosen out of a field of four other highly qualified candidates to be your next International Vice President. My biggest support throughout the entire journey, from the moment I decided to run until my name was announced on stage, was the entire Pacific Northwest District. So let me take this time to thank every single one of you- all 13,000+ members. It was your support that got me through not only ICON week but the months leading up to it. Thank you to everyone that messaged be “good luck� and to all of those that congratulated me afterwards. Even though many of you did not attend ICON 2014, I still felt as if all of you were alongside me. I look forward to personally thanking many of you as I travel to some of the upcoming area rallies. To all the graduating seniors, even though I will not have the opportunity to serve you for this upcoming year, I hope that many of you will decide to join Circle K in college and eventually Kiwanis. Once again, THANK YOU to the mighty Pacific Northwest District! I look forward to yet another fantastic year of service, friendship, and growth not only for Key Club International but also for our district! In Service,

My Friends Place What is My Friends Place? My Friends Place is a safe overnight shelter for local homeless teens who need a place to stay. The Sanctuary currently provides immediate basic human survival needs for youth on the streets. This includes warm meals, showers, laundry, and a safe place to rest, for youth ages 13 through 17. The sanctuary is running out of funds to operate, and it as risk of having to close its doors for good.
What can we do to help? As Key Clubbers, we love to give a helping hand to our community whenever it is possible. My Friends Place is a local shelter for teenagers just like us. Let’s help the community save this sanctuary and most importantly, let’s help out a fellow teenager. Currently, there is a car wash in the planning. Clothing and other supply drives are also a huge possibility. Contact me if you are interested in helping out, and come to the July DCM for even more information.
