GREETINGS FROM YOUR LTG! Hey, hey, hey! I hope you all have been living your summers to the fullest! For some of us, our families love to travel. And for others, Netflix continues to be our best friend. Whichever way you choose to celebrate your summer, I hope you have continued to keep service and your Key Club spirit close to your heart. Upon arriving home from International Convention 2014, I was able to see Key Club in a different perspective. Sometimes we forget that Key Club is indeed the oldest and largest service program for high school students, serving over 31 countries. This summer, it is our job to rejuvenate and perfect our Key Club knowledge and let our peers know what we stand for. I couldn’t believe I was given the opportunity to meet Key Clubbers across the country and even places such as the Bahamas. You are part of something big– bigger than you could ever imagine. I promise. -Tasmia Ahmed d65.tasmia@gmail.com

“International Convention 2014 was a week of Disneyland magic, warm weather, hyper Key Clubbers, exciting sessions, and insightful workshops. Taking place in sunny Anaheim, California, ICON gathered Key Clubbers from around the world who stayed at the Anaheim Mariott Hotel and Convention Center. PNW Key Club spent the first two days of our stay in Disneyland, enjoying the rides and magic of the happiest place on earth. Wednesday night we had a Meet and Greet to get to know other Key Clubbers and the next three days consisted of the opening, general, and closing sessions, House of Delegates to vote on important amendments, and lots of workshops for everyone. PNW was lucky enough to have our very own Kevin Zhang run for and win the title of Key Club International Vice President during ICON! “ -Photos and ICON blurb by Jenny Zhang, District Editor Browse Jenny’s photos from ICON!
A message from your International Vice President, Kevin Zhang 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,
Kevin Zhang
