t Governor 05
Meet your Div Pos Hello everyone! My name is Alexa Elliot, and I am the new assistant lieutenant governor of division 64. I joined Tualatin High School Key Club my freshman year, and through the club, I discovered my passion for volunteering. My favorite events include sprucing up the public library, stocking the Tualatin food bank, and helping at elementary school carnivals. Along with Key Club, I am involved in NHS, CommuniCare, and Student Ambassadors at my school. A few fun facts about me are that my favorite color is yellow, and I adore cats. I am excited to be apart of the Key Club governing body and look forward to another great year in the club.

isional Appointed sitions Victoria Lee Divisional Editor Hello Division 64! I am so excited and privileged to hold my position as the divisional editor! My name is Victoria Lee and I was born right here in Portland Oregon on January 19th, 2000. Currently I am attending Lakeridge High School as a proud member of Key Club as well as the leader of Kfamily. Aside from volunteering and partnering up with many different organizations, I love hanging out with my friends or just practicing the violin and sometimes piano. When I’m not doing those specific things, you could probably find me outside running or playing tennis. Oh right, and I’m also about that #BOBALIFE. 07

PREFERRED CHARITIES
UNICEF works with the United Nations to help over 150 developing countries to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. Through community service, UNICEF is able to provide healthcare, sanitary water, and education for these children.
1 in 9 babies in America are born mature. The United States has one of the highest rates for premature babies for more developed countries. The March of Dimes funds lifesaving research and programs and works to end premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. Every baby deserves a healthy life.
Children’s Miracle Network seeks to battle every type of childhood illness and injury. The money fundraised for the program goes towards research and training, purchasing equipment and paying uncompensated care, in its mission to save as many children’s lives as possible.

What is MNT? In 23 countries around the world, maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) can quickly turn the joy of childbirth into tragedy. MNT kills one baby every eleven minutes. Its effects are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. There is little hope of survival. And tetanus kills mothers too.
Who suffers from MNT? MNT is caused when tetanus spores, found in soil everywhere, come into contact with open cuts during childbirth. The disease strikes the poorest of the poor, the geographically hard to reach and those without health care.
Can MNT be stopped? Yes! MNT is highly preventable. Just three doses of a 60-cent immunization protect mothers, who then pass on the immunity to their future babies. Together, Kiwanis and UNICEF can stop this disease.
What will it take to eliminate MNT from the Earth? More than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.

KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL
The Eliminate Project is a campaign to eliminate MNT from the Earth. With the Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, together, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. In doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.
