WHAT TIME IS IT? SUMMER TIME! IT’S OUR VACATION! We get out of school this week! Time to sleep in, get painfully sunburnt, wear your sunglasses 24/7, and see your friends more than your family.

Portland Rally FAQ A lot of people have been asking me what Portland Area Rally is and what it’ll be like. Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions + What you should expect when you come!
What IS Portland Area Rally? Portland Area Rally is a time to show your spirit for your division, meet you people, and learn about Key Club. However, most importantly, it’s for people to LEARN how to grow their home clubs and make a big difference in their community!
How do you register and why can’t I pay online? You can register at www.pnwportlandrally.eventbrite.com! The regular registration has already passed, but you can register late! The fees are a bit confusing, but what will happen is you will register online (It’s almost like an official RSVP) and you’ll pay at the door. If you do late registration, you’ll have to pay more than the people who RSVP’d with regular admission. However, better late than never because paying at the door will be more than late admission.
Any more questions! Feel free to ask me!
Who can come to PAR? What will I be doing at PAR? When you first get to LO High School on the 16th, you’ll have to register and pay the fees. Then, everyone will go into the auditorium for an opening session which will consist of divisional roll call (CHEER LOUDLY FOR DIVISION 64!), introductions, speeches, etc. From there, we will go to forums that range all the way from Zumba to Ice breakers to How to Run for Higher Office! Lunch is provided and we’ll have a couple more general sessions. You’ll have a chance to pie your Lt.G in the face if you raise the most money for Miracle Minute and there will be a limbo contest! A lot of people describe DCON and PAR as a giant party.. and it is!

ANYONE! Whether you’ve been in Key Club and have now graduated, are currently in Key Club, or have just heard about it from your friends, then come! It’ll really show you how fun KC can be!
What will I need to bring? Bring a small, light backpack to store papers and pens. Bring a notebook and a writing utensil for certain forums! If you’re planning on doing Zumba, bring comfy shoes! Dress up for the Luau theme with whatever you can think of! Also, do not forget to bring your medical release form (we cannot let you enter without it) and check with your club president that you have a chaperone!
Key Leader Key Leader is from Oct. 5-7 at Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp..... Will you be there? Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership program for today's young leaders. This life-changing event focuses on service leadership as the first, most meaningful leadership-development experience. A Key Leader will learn the most important lesson of leadership—it comes from helping others succeed.
On the left is the “What is Key Leader?” explanation on the Key Leader website. It’s basically a conference where other Key Clubbers from around your area meet to learn leadership skills, meet new friends, and continue to build their home clubs.
Participants begin by attending a Key Leader conference, which is a weekend retreat. Large and small group workshops, discussions and team-building activities take place over the course of the weekend. Students have opportunities to learn leadership skills that will help them to change their schools, communities, and world for the better. While exploring leadership in a whole new way, participants will make amazing new friends and have experiences they will never forget. Positive, ongoing interaction with other Key Leader graduates offers continuing reinforcement, encouragement and growth of leadership skills.
I’ve only heard amazing things from people I know that have attended Key Leader. The activities are worthwhile and fun, the food is great, and you get a lot of time to bond with other people that live or go to school near you. I encourage as many people to go to Key Leader as possible this year. Prices and transportation can be discussed at future DCMs, but if you are at all interested in attending with me and several other Division 64 Key Clubbers, let me know! Also, check out the website at www.key-leader.org.

FINAL THINGS... Portland Area Rally
Key Clubber of the month
Nametags
Remember to register and talk to your president about attending Portland Rally! It’ll be on June 16 at LO High! More information is at www.pnwportlandrally.ev entbrite.com Can’t wait to see you all there and don’t forget to show D.64 pride!
Do you have a Key Clubber in your home club that is deserving of a spotlight in the next newsletter? Let me know about it and why they’re so deserving! They’ll get a section in a newsletter and the prestigious title of “KCer of the Month!”
Nametags are STILL on backorder (nooooooo) I’m praying that Kiwanis will understand the urgency and ship them to us by the Induction Dinner, but if not, they’ll get here soon. It’ll all be worth the wait though when you get the shiny, official nametags!
Whoever emails back the answers to these riddles first will get a prize at the next DCM!
It cannot be seen, it weighs nothing, but when put into a barrel, it makes it lighter. What is it?
HURRY! EMAIL ME BACK!
