There are many
changes occurring in
our division — read

For now, due to the
lapse in time, the Dragon Scales will
not continue. I am still working on a
point system— I know that our
division has had some issues with this
in the past, so please contact me if
you have any suggestions.
Don’t forget to share this newsletter with the rest of your club :)
from your lieutenant governor
Hello Division 32,
I hope you all have been enjoying your summer! I know I have—- attending Key Club International Convention in Anaheim, California (see picture on right) has definitely been the highlight of mine.
My name is Jenny Feng, and due to the resignation of our previous Lieutenant Governor, I have been appointed as the new Lieutenant Governor of Division 32. I know that this has not been easy on our division, and that the work ahead will not be easy, but I promise you that I will work hard to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible. Together, we can make sure Division 32 stands strong.
In this newsletter, you will find information on our new Committees, how officer reports will now work, the point system, this month’s Divisional Council Meeting, and more. Please read carefully!
I can’t wait to meet and work with each and every single one of you. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time!

from your immediate past lieutenant governor
A MESSAGE
Hey Baby Dragons! :3
As you all know, I had to resign from my position as your Lieutenant Governor. Please don't feel bad for me because sometimes we have to lose things in life in order to mature. I felt very relieved after announcing my resignation because so many of you expressed such positive things about me as a person, a Key Clubber, and a leader. I especially did not expect a flood of Facebook messages containing encouraging words and gratitude. I didn't realize that I touched so many of my Baby Dragons in such a short amount of time. I was also told repeated that I served our division the best that I could given my circumstance. Not many of you know, but my parents were against me being Lieutenant Governor these past few months. On the bright side, they have embraced my decision around the beginning of June, which I am thankful for, but things still couldn't go how I hoped they would. I just wanted to thank each and every one of my Baby Dragons. :') You all mean everything to me and I wouldn't have been able to serve as Lieutenant Governor if it wasn't for you all. Thank you for choosing me, for believing in me, for trusting in me, for looking up to me, and being flexible with my performance as LtG when you weren't even aware of my situation with my parents. I hope to see you guys work hard for Jenny Feng and improve as Key Clubbers so you all can be the best ones you can be. Like I said way back in January, I walked into Lindbergh’s cafeteria three years ago for my first Key Club meeting. And in one year, I will walk out of Lindbergh’s cafeteria after my last meeting, not as your retiring Lieutenant Governor, but a proud member of Lindbergh’s Key Club and a former leader of Division 32. I am still set on becoming what a dragon symbolizes, a majestic creature that betters the world through its fiery passion for service. I am still that red dragon because I have a fire in my heart and passion, love, and energy coursing through my veins. I will still be part of our family of dragons that share a love for service. And even though I had to resign, I will still be your Mama Dragon that cares unconditionally. This is why I am still in Key Club, and that’s to serve all of my Baby Dragons. Even though it is now July, it is still hard for me to write from my heart. Key Club is still something I love and it continues to set my feelings on fire. And though I can no longer lead this division, I hope my enthusiasm to serve translates though the screen. Good luck to you all on whatever you want to pursue in Key Club or life in general. Again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything. Mama Dragon will be rooting for you guys from the sidelines. <3
Yours always in caring, love, friendship, and service,
Morgan Lucena^^

ey clubber friend to the DCM!
“International Convention was like a dream to me. I was given the opportunity to go to be in Anaheim for a week, surrounded by amazing Key Clubbers, including many Key Clubbers
that I looked up to (our district board!!!). When I first heard about ICON being in Anaheim,
I was mainly excited about getting to go to Disneyland with Key Clubbers. But after having
this ICON experience, I know that it was much more than just riding a bunch of rides with a
few cool people. The people, the dances, the spirit battles, everything seemed almost too good
to be true. Also, the delegates got the chance to vote for our International Board (#votebowl)
as well as vote for amendments to the International Bylaws. As our very own Jenny would
say, it was "blood-curdling." It was truly an honor to be a part of deciding our international
board and our amendments. This convention made me so proud to be a part of the PNW
district, home of the mooses (meese?) and our new International Vice President, Kevin Zhang!
All in all, International Convention has helped rekindle my passion for Key Club and inspire
me to do as much as I can to help eliminate MNT from the world by the end of 2015.
ICON has also given me insight as to how Key Club works on a district and international
level. Also, through ICON I learned parts of the Canadian anthem. My only regret was not
using the 10% off IHOP coupon that was given out to us while I was there. Anyways, I can't
wait until next year's TRICON!”
-Jessica Lou, Vice President of Kentridge Key Club
KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL CO
ICON 2014 took place in
Anaheim, CA.
The PNW Tour included two
days at Disneyland and lasted
from June 30th—July 6th.
Congratulations to PNW’S very own Kevin Zhang for
being elected as Key Club
International Vice President!

“International Convention was the most fantabulous experience of my life! It honestly was one of the most surreal weeks of my life. It honestly felt so perfect that I wouldn't be surprised if I
woke up one day and none of it was true. The "kool kids klub" (the Key Club district board),
who I felt were almost otherworldly and intimidating to talk to, all of a sudden became such
close friends to me, and I felt like I actually mattered. It truly showed to me what being a Key
Clubber is all about, and what a true leader of Key Club is. The convention itself was also a
testament to why Key Club is the biggest service organization in the world. It showed me the
huge diversity in the different people who are a part of Key Club everyday. Looking at the
ridiculous size of the behemoth that is the CNH District was truly humbling. However, it
showed to me how grateful I should be to be part of the most spirited division in all of Key
Club. At ICON, I could basically feel the enthusiasm and dedication to Key Club rub off on
me. And the workshops actually shown me how I could make a difference. I HIGHLY
recommend anyone who can go to ICON, to try and go. It was truly a defining moment in my
Key Club career, and it has prepared me to be ready for everything that's going to happen in
my upcoming term.”
-Bryan Raganot, Vice President of Kent-Meridian Key Club
ATIONAL CONVENTION 2014
ICON 2015 will take
place in Indianapolis,
Indiana, where Kiwanis
was founded! In honor
of Kiwanis’s 100th birthday, “TRICON” will also be Kiwanis and
Circle K’s International Conventions. Hope to see
you there!

A message from your PNW governor
Hey Key Clubbers,
Summer is finally here, and I hope all of you are kicking
back and relaxing after a long school year’s end. All of you have put so much effort into the last school year,
from taking AP and IB classes, to being in multiple clubs
and activities, to all of your endless community service
that you have done. To the seniors a special congrats on
finishing high school, you guys have worked especially
hard. I hope the memories of the last years in high school
will carry with all of you, and I hope you know all the service you have done
in the last few years, has been changing the lives of others.
To the club members, remember that when the sun is out, it is a great
chance to grab a few friends and serve, and that service doesn’t end when the school year does! Continue all of your hard work because when you
give a little love, you get a little love back, when you give a lot of love, you
get a lot of love back. The amount of effort you put into serving is the
amount you get back, from seeing a smile from the kid who just got a card
at children’s hospital, to packing a meal for a hungry family who lives in the neighborhood. The more and more you serve, the more and more you will
see the community being affected, by the love and service you give to it.
Remember that when you serve, give your whole heart to the project or
fundraiser, and the results will soar.
You are the change, with every good deed you do, no matter how big or
small, it helps the people around you. From right around the corner to half
way around the world, you guys are truly admirable. You give more than
anyone could ever see or know, you guys don’t wish that you had the power to change the world, you know you have the power to change the
world.
Thank you all so much, and just remember, what you share with the world is
what the world keeps of you.
Lisa Antonio,
Pacific Northwest District Governor

Hello Pacific Northwest District Key Clubbers!
Over this past week, I along with 39 other PNW Key Clubbers and six Kiwanis
chaperones had the opportunity to attend the 71st annual International Convention in
the vibrant city of Anaheim, California. While there, we had the opportunity to
attend educational workshops, meet Key Clubbers from across the world, and elect the
2014-2015 Key Club International Board. I am truly humbled and honored to
announce that I was chosen out of a field of four other highly qualified candidates to
be your next International Vice President.
My biggest support throughout the entire journey, from the moment I decided to
run until my name was announced on stage, was the entire Pacific Northwest District.
So let me take this time to thank every single one of you- all 13,000+ members. It was
your support that got me through not only ICON week but the months leading up to
it. Thank you to everyone that messaged be “good luck” and to all of those that congratulated me afterwards. Even though many of you did not attend ICON 2014, I
still felt as if all of you were alongside me. I look forward to personally thanking many
of you as I travel to some of the upcoming area rallies. To all the graduating seniors,
even though I will not have the opportunity to serve you for this upcoming year, I hope
that many of you will decide to join Circle K in college and eventually Kiwanis.
Once again, THANK YOU to the mighty Pacific Northwest District! I look forward
to yet another fantastic year of service, friendship, and
growth not only for Key Club International but also for our
district!
In Service,
Kevin Zhang Kevin Zhang
