Lieutenant Governor Hey Hey Hey Krakens! Congrats! You’ve survived your first month of school! I hope all of your first meetings went well and that you’ve recruited a lot of new members! Continue to remind members about dues, remember that getting your dues in earlier means better seats at DCON. And speaking of DCON, did you know that you can apply to run a workshop at this year’s District Convention? If this is something you’re interested in you can find more information on pages 12-13! I want to thank everyone for coming out to our September DCM! I was amazed to see so many new faces and even more amazed to have so many talented Krakens in our division! Special thanks to those that participated in the Division 33’s Got Talent Showcase! You can read more about the September DCM on pages 6-7. If you were not able to attend last month’s meeting, then stay tuned for more information about the October DCM. It will be hosted by Auburn Mountainview High School and our division will be making Halloween Themed Goodie Bags for the Seattle Children’s Hospital. I hope you can all attend! That’s all for now, enjoy reading!
In love and service,

Angie Kong from Federal Way High School put amazed the audience with her harp skills. Vivian Nguyen from Thomas Jefferson High School stepped out of her comfort zone when she sang and played the ukulele. Francis Kwon, a senior from Todd Beamer High School played sang while playing the piano and has a lot of people to thank for being the musician he is today. And Nathan Nguyen from Kent Meridian High School ended the night with a piece from one of his favorite TV shows.

KEY CLUB WEEK [November 7 – November 11]
MONDAY: Spread the word by wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key Club Week in local stores, your school Web site, community newspapers—even on the school announcements. TUESDAY: Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teachers, advisors and other Key players. Write thank-you notes, host an appreciation dinner do something to recognize the contributions of these special people. WEDNESDAY: Take time to focus on service projects that help support our preferred charities (UNICEF, March of Dimes and CMN) such as making non-slip socks or capes for your local CMN hospital.
THURSDAY: Spread happiness throughout your school by doing little random acts of kindness such as leaving cards with inspirational messages on every students locker or just simply holding the door for someone else. FRIDAY: Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or Aktion clubs and team up for a joint service project.

Get to know our Kiwanis partners. VISION PARTNERS Landscape Structures Inc. has been creating innovative playground equipment since 1971. Think of the impact your club could have in your community by constructing a playground as a signature project. Ask your members if giving children a place to play is the right project for your club. See Kiwanis playgrounds and find a local representative at playlsi.com. Nickelodeon’s The Big Help campaign puts kids into action to do something about issues communities face. Kiwanis clubs are encouraged to work with their SLPs on projects like Worldwide Day of Play—when the network goes black and kids are encouraged to head outdoors and help their community. Learn what your club can do to engage at nick.com/thebighelp. The U.S. Army partnership is based on a foundation of shared values. Engaging in local opportunities, U.S. Army personnel connect with Kiwanis family members and provide access to local battalion support and resources. Contact your local battalion to invite soldiers to speak at a club meeting, take part in service projects and become Kiwanis members. goarmy.com.
