Hello Fellow Lady Bugs!
Fellow Lady Bugs,
We are closer to school starting which means we have
a lot of things to catch up on before school. I hope that all
of you have had a fun and safe summer. I also hope you
are excited for our coming school year. I know it may be a
little sad to give up summer vacations but now we have so
much more things we can do especially for Key Club.
Throughout this newsletter you will find very important
dates and information. Please read this newsletter carefully.
Remember I serve you, so if there is anything you guys feel
isn’t working or things I should try feel free to tell me.
Once again, I hope you guys have had a great time
and continue to have a great time. Thank you for allowing
me to serve as your Lieutenant Governor. I can’t wait to see
you all!
In Caring Love and Service,
Division 80 Lieutenant Governor

A Message from Our New District Projects
Director
Hey Key Clubbers!
My name is Dorothy Wang and I am
senior from Division 64 – the new
home of the Dinosaurs! I cannot
express how honored and humbled
I am to be able to serve the Pacific
Northwest as the District Projects
Committee Chair. I will commit this
next year to making the Eliminate
Project as successful as it can be for
our district, and I hope you will, too! After raising over
$80,000 for the Eliminate Project over the course of the last
year alone, it won’t be easy for us to top our past
accomplishments. However, I have complete faith in our
district to achieve that and so much more for the
campaigns last year! As some of you may know, our district
goal for this upcoming year is set at $50,000, but why not
raise more? The district hopes to easily surpass that amount
and save as many lives as we possibly can. The Eliminate
Project needs YOU and the support of your Key Clubs and
communities in order to reach our $110 million goal for
Kiwanis International and to eliminate Maternal Neonatal
5
Tetanus by 2015. Time is running out, so it is crucial that we
go all out and do all that we can for the project in its final
stage!
Although the Eliminate Project has been our district project
for over a year, we cannot afford to loosen the reins and
wait for others to help us reach that goal. The amazing thing
about the Eliminate Project is that even a little bit of change
can have such a tangible and substantial impact on the
lives of mothers and children throughout the world. Through
a joint effort, I believe that MNT can and will be eliminated
by 2015! Raise awareness throughout your communities and
fundraise! Whether you and your club organize a movie
night, Dance to Elimin8, Skate to Elimin8, potluck, or even a
food sale, EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! It’s really amazing how far
a little bit of effort, enthusiasm, and shameless promotion
can go – especially when we’re talking about passionate
and serving Key Clubbers!
If you ever need help with a fundraiser or have any
questions regarding the Eliminate Project, please do not
hesitate to contact me through email or Facebook (let’s be
small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change
the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Never
get discouraged, because even $1.80 could change a
mother’s and child’s life forever. Key Clubbers have a
wonderful opportunity to make a huge impact on the world.
Go out there and make PNW proud!
In love and service,

A Message from Our New International
President
Hello, Key Clubbers!
My name is Maria Palazzolo, and I am so thankful to be your
2014-2015 Key Club International President! I was elected at the
International Convention in Anaheim, California, about a month
ago. It is a privilege to serve you and the rest of our 267,000
members.
As Key Clubbers, we have a unique perspective of the world.
We, as teenagers, get to make lasting impacts within our
communities and throughout the world. I find it absolutely amazing
that our organization is made of so many selfless individuals with one
mission: to positively change the world.
As your International President, one of my main goals is to make
Key Club International more accessible to provide more ideas and
opportunities to make your club the best it can be. This can be done
through:
Webinars
o On topics such as:
The $.50 dues increase
Grants available to fund club projects, such as
the Youth Opportunities Fund {more
information here:
http://www.keyclub.org/service/fund/yof.aspx
}
Twitter chats with International Board members
Increased interaction through social media

We will also be promoting the Eliminate Project, which is the
Kiwanis family’s campaign to raise $110 million by the end of 2015 to
eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus from the face of the
planet. It nears its completion at the end of the year, and we need
to work tirelessly to meet our goal. I will work with our International
Vice President, Kevin Zhang, and our eleven International Trustees to
meet these goals to make this year a productive one for our
organization.
I hope to see all of you at our International Convention in
Indianapolis, Indiana, next summer! Imagine 2,000 people who are
just as focused on helping others as you are. It’s an absolutely
amazing time. If you have any questions about Key Club
International, International Convention, or would just like to talk to
me, feel free to email me! Have a great year, and thank you for all
that you do in your homes, schools, and communities!
Yours in service,
Maria Palazzolo
Key Club International President

the honor to give the award to two special key
clubbers Maria and Edith. This month however, I want

clubbers of the month.
You guys are the reason our division exists. So, I
am proud to give this award to all the members of
