Division 11/18C This is our “sister division” Division 11/18C. The lieutenant governor is Shirley Chou who some of you got to meet at the May DCM. Her division covers Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, and Chilliwack. Their divisional mascot is the crab and their divisional colours are red and white to show off their Canadian spirit. Together, Division 13/15/17 and 11/18C are the only Canadian divisions in the Pacific Northwest District!
International Trustee Meet our district's International Trustee, Roshni Chandwani! She was elected at the International Convention. As International Trustee, she will be looking after the Pacific Northwest (us), Kentucky Tennessee, and Eastern Canada Districts!

LTG GREETINGS Hey Key Clubbers, I hope the first month back to school was alright for you all. I would like to thank all the officers for working so hard! Great job with your first month back for club meetings. Halloween is just around the corner so I hope you'll have fun, but remember to stay safe! TRICK OR TREAT! See you all soon! :) In Caring and Service, Soobeen Park
Sept DCM Recap
NINJA PANDAS Thanks to everyone who came to the July DCM! The weather turned out great and many Key Clubbers came! The DCM had “Me In A Bag” where each officer (or enthusiastic member) showed items that represented them. The October DCM is coming up so make sure to attend!

CLUB REPORTS - SEPTEMBER
In the month of September, PW Key Club had a big cotton candy and popcorn sale during the Back to School event at school with the help of our club advisor Mr. Eckersley! It was also grade 8 day, so many new students had a chance to see what Key Club is all about. We also participated in the shoreline cleanup, and spent some time at Gods Acre Farm in Surrey, helping pick carrots and washing them to give away to the foodbank. On top of that, the executives have been busy planning on how to promote and advertise Key Club on clubs day. We hope to bring more members into the club!

Hi Tracy! This September started off with a long executive meeting where we came up with a yearlong plan complete with potential fundraisers! We held our first two meetings this month, and saw great turnouts of around eighty people. Our club has been working hard at selling SPC cards for $9 and movie tickets for $10 for the Eliminate Project, and as we are currently still selling, the total amount has not been counted yet. Some of our lovely executives attended a Kiwanis meeting with the North Vancouver Kiwanis Club where they were able to meet the new board of executives and find out how their club is doing. Three execs and five members also attended DCM this month and everyone had lots of fun! Killarney Key Club is currently working hard in preparation for Clubs Day!

Britannia September is the start of Key Club 2013-2014 at Britannia! Executives were busy planning for the exciting year ahead. Key Club participated in Clubs Day this month, and was able to recruit many interested, and enthusiastic members! We are looking forward to getting to know what Key Club is, meeting new people, and participating in upcoming projects, including volunteering for Quest Food Exchange. Welcome, new members!
In our first month of the new school year, we got the opportunity to connect with students through Van Tech's Club Fair. It was exciting seeing the little grade 8s already curious about service. When our first meeting finally came around, we were amazed to see so many people ready to volunteer! We ended an action-packed September with Concrete Hero! A big group of Key Clubbers enjoyed a rainy, cold day of fun as we helped hydrate participants and tested our spirit.

DISTRICT PROJECT 9 160 38 61 1.80
One baby dies every 9 minutes from maternal and neonatal tetanus
160 babies dies each day from maternal and neonatal tetanus
38 countries remain at high risk for maternal and neonatal tetanus
It was announced at Spring Board by Governor Trang Tran that our district project for the term is The Eliminate Project. The Eliminate Project raises money for women in multiple countries that are effected by Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus. MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth.
Kiwanis will help protect 61 million mothers and their future babies
The effects are excruciating - newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and have extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival and the baby dies within 7 days of being alive.
It only takes $1.80 to provide 3 tetanus vaccinations to one mother
Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF can stop this disease.
With around 12000 Key Clubbers in the Pacific Northwest, our district goal is to get $2 dollars per member for a total of $24000 by District Convention 2014. I would like to put Vice Presidents within each club in charge of organizing fundraisers for the Eliminate Project. Consider making a Projects or Fundraising Committee with interested club members. My goal for our division is $200 per club by DCON 2014!
Eliminate Educate Educate yourself about MNT, and share what you learn with your club, your community, your family and your school. Advocate Let the world know that the poorest, most vulnerable babies and mothers need our help. Rally others to get involved. Eliminate Over the next five years, the work you do to eliminate MNT will change the world. Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF will eliminate MNT and give the poorest families the chance to lead the healthy lives they deserve.
Make sure to be advertising the project and fundraise! If you want some ideas for fundraisers, hold a Miracle Minute at your club meeting! Bake sales at lunch hour are usually very successful too! Get creative with fundraiser ideas. At big school events, have a booth set up for your club and sell goods for The Eliminate Project.
The district board made a PNW Eliminate Project page to show updates on our district's progress. Like and share the page! facebook.com/PnwEliminateProject
Board Of Magical Surprises This is the Board Of Magical Surprises, a point system where clubs will be rewarded for various things. This page will show what points each club got for the previous month and their overall total. At the end of the term, I will be tallying up all marks and the winning CHARTERED and UNCHARTED club will receive a reasonable prize of their choice. Let's see who wins at the end of the term! :)
