It’s me, your LtG! With Spring Board under my belt, I have learned a few new
things.
The first of these is that the spirit of key club is the strongest in
the great division 74! We have so much potential as a division. I would
personally like to congratulate you all on your efforts in every thing
that you do. Thank you for giving me bragging rights in the district!
The next thing that I learned is that we have a long way to go,
with the district project newly announced we can now start work on it!
The project as you will learn later is The Eliminate Project. You can
learn about that on pages four and five. Other things to work on
include getting dues in on time for the next year, updating me with
your clubs information, and starting to think about how you will deal
with the upcoming summer.
I would personally like to invite everyone reading this to this
year’s Rally in the Valley. The date for Rally is going to be July 19th
through the 20th. The theme, is SERVE-ivor! So be ready to serve to
survive! The event will be at Camp Wilani, near Eugene. There will be
events such as ziplining, swimming, interesting forums, enticing
keynote speakers, and delicious food! Get ready to meet
some amazing other divisions and spend time with the
great PNW district board.
In love and caring service

District Project One baby dies every
9 minutes from neonatal tetanus
On average, health education and a series of three
doses of tetanus vaccine cost $1.80
Kiwanis will help save or protect more than
61 million mothers and their future babies
38 countries remain at high risk for
MNT
160 babies die each day from neonatal
If a baby gets MNT, it will lose its mothers touch
No baby should lose their mothers touch
$1.80 can stop this.
District Project

The Two Dollar Plan:
If each person In the district brings in two dollars, we
will raise a total of $24,600
That is:
13,667 vaccinations
Estimated 13,667 lives saved
For the price of a cup of coffee
Why The Eliminate Project?
The answer to this is, every 9 minutes,
one child or mother dies from What is known as
MNT (Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus). This painful
disease steals the lives of 60,000 babies from
their families. In 30 countries around the world,
MNT takes on a large toll because of deliveries
taking place in unhygienic circumstances and
because no vaccination for the deadly infec-
tion is available. The effects of this infection is
excruciating. Tiny new born babies suffer re-
peated, painful convulsions and extreme sensi-
tivity to light and touch, turning the joy of child-
birth into a tragedy.
What we need to do as key clubbers, is to change this. As
part of the largest student led organizations in the world, we can
ELIMINATE this deadly infection. With just 3 does of a 60 cent
immunization, we can protect mothers who will in turn protect
their future offspring. That’s just $1.80, about the price of a small
coffee from Starbucks, or a small burger. Together with our
Kiwanis counterpart and UNICEF, we can end something that
can be prevented so easily.

With your help, the PNW Key Club, can push our District to the next level and expand our goal of service!

Hello fellow Key Clubbers! I am looking forward to being able to serve as your District Editor this upcoming year. Fortunately, I will be in the Washington area this summer and am hoping to be able to go to as many rallies as possible, even Rally in the Valley! Some goals I have this year are to make the EsPRESSo an opportunity for Key Clubbers such as yourselves to contribute and share of your success. Using State Spotlights, photography contests and opportunities to submit articles. I am also working on distribution of the EsPRESSo. I look forward to working with you! Add me to your facebook groups, feel free to email me, anything! Let's be besties.

Lieutenant Governor Challenge!
March of Dimes
CLUB SPOTLIGHT! Springfield High School!
As I write this newsletter, Springfield High School is in the process of
starting a new Key Club! That will bring the total number of clubs in
Division 74 to eleven! I recently visited the SHS leadership /ASB class to give
a speech on what Key Club is all about, and I must say, that group of people
shared kindness and compassion with me, that I see in all of you, the spirit of
key club was strong in those ones. While the application process can take up
to three months, it will be done, and that is where you come in...
To start a key club as many
of you know, there must be
15 members. Being that I am
not as familiar with people in
the Eugene/Springfield area,
I would like to ask you to
meet some people there,
and tell them how amazing
Key Club truly is!

March of Dimes Lieutenant Governor Challenge:
Why I chose March of Dimes:
I chose March of Dimes because they, as an organization
realize that together, we can ensure that all babies have a good
entrance into this world. I believe strongly in this concept, and
come on, who doesn’t want to say they have saved the life of a
young human being?
Since 2003, The rising incidence of premature birth
has demanded action, and the March of Dimes has
responded by initiating an intensive, multi-year
campaign to raise awareness and find the causes of
prematurity.
Know your charity!
FDR’s personal struggle with polio led him to
create the March of Dimes, the foundation
established a polio patient aid program and
funded research for vaccines developed by
Jonas Salk, MD and Albert Sabin, MD. These
vaccines effectively ended epidemic polio in
the United States.
The March of Dimes has led the way
to discover the genetic causes of birth
defects, to promote newborn
screening, and to educate medical
professionals and the public about best
practices for healthy pregnancy.
