Hello everyone!
Did you ocras have a fabulous
spring break? Hopefully it was
warm enough for most of your to
get your fins wet. This is the first
official newsletter from your new
Lieutenant Governor, Bradlee
Thielen! I hope all of you had a
wonderful time at DCON and all
of you who were unable to
attend, be sure to go next year!
It’s definitely an experience unlike
any other that you won’t want to
miss. Anyway I am getting ahead
of myself. Thank you guys for all
the great work you did in Emma’s
term as Lt.G! I may not have her
cookie recipe but I will try to be
the best Lt.G I can be without
them. And maybe I will convince
her to make you guys some,
depending on how hard you guys
work.
Feel free to contact me if you
have any questions, concerns, or
compliments. I am excited to get
to know all of you. It’s going to be
a great year for us I can feel it.
Bradlee Thielen

Hello Everyone!
I hope you orcas had a great
month last month and are ready
for a better one this month! This
lovely weather that’s been
happening will hopefully have
already made you guys exciting
for the month of May. It was
such a great treat to see some
of your smiling faces at last
month’s DCM and at the clubs I
visited.
This month I hope I see more of
you guys at DCM’s and get to
know you and your clubs at
club visits as well!

Our Division is called Division
42; it is broken up into two different
parts. We were formerly Division 42 WA
and our sister Division was Division 42
OR. But we changed some clubs
around so now both divisions have
some clubs in each state. The official
names are still yet to be decided but
we are leaning towards something like
42 East and West.
Here are some fun facts about our
Divisio
Divisional Update
Orca Point Update! Let’s see how each club is doing on
their Orca points.
1st R.A.Long – 5 Orca Points
2nd Kelso – 3 Orca Points
2nd Three Rivers Christian – 3 Orca
Points
3rd Toutle – 2 Orca Points
4th CCEC – 1 Orca Point
5th St. Helens – 1Orca Point
Turn in monthly reports on time,
attend DCMs, and more to get your
club some Orca Points!
Hey Orcas! So I have some
bad news for you, I gave you the
wrong information last month. Our
names are not 42 East and West. I
repeat we are not East and West.
Our actual names are,
Division 42 Coastal and Valley. We
are 42 Valley. East and West were a
little too vague and a little too
juvenile for us.
LAST MONTH’S DCM
The April DCM was held on Friday, April 25th. It was held at a Frozen
Yogurt shop in Longview, Washington, called Sweetspot. The picture
above is some of the people who stayed after the DCM was over.
At the DCM played some icebreakers, and shared so embarrassing
stories; that involved surgery dog poop, bunny suits and hit and runs. We
also got to know each club on a personal level and see how each club
runs compared to one another.
It was great you won’t want to miss the May DCM. It might just be even
crazier than the April DCM.
Don’t forget the club with the most
Orca points will have a Pizza/Cookie
party! And yes, the cookies will be
Emma cookies.

WHAT’S NEW?
UNICEF & MNT Since 1999, UNICEF and its partners have
immunized nearly 100 million women in 50
countries with two or more doses of the vaccine
and have eliminated the disease in 34
countries.
STILL MORE TO DO Countries that have recently validated the
elimination of MNT include Turkey, Burundi, and
the Democratic Republic of Congo. MNT still
remains a deadly threat in 25 countries.
PROGRESS
$51Million Have been raise for the Eliminate Project that is
a little more than half of our goal of 100 million
With the Eliminate Project, Kiwanis
International and UNICEF have
joined forces to eliminate
maternal and neonatal tetanus.
This deadly disease steals the lives
of nearly 60,000 innocent babies
and a significant number of
women each year. The effects of
the disease are excruciating –
tiny newborns suffer repeated
painful convulsions and extreme
sensitivity to light and touch.
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 – and the dedicated work
of UNICEF and every member of
the Kiwanis family.
Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces
to tackle iodine deficiency
disorders, achieving one of the
most significant public health
successes of the 20th century.
Now, they are eliminating MNT
from the face of the Earth. And 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.
