Grant Project KEY CLUB PLEDGE
Don't know the Key Club
pledge? No worries.
Just follow along below:
I pledge, on my honor, to
up-
hold the objects of Key
Club
International; to build my home, school and
community;
to serve my nation and
God; and to combat all
forces
which tend to undermine
these institutions.
KEY CLUB MISSION
Key Club is an
international
student-led organization
which
provides its members
with
opportunities to provide
service, build character
and develop leadership.
The Omak Key Club just
completed a Grant Project
offered by State Farm to
discourage underage drinking.
In order to earn the US$500
grant, they created a power
point and presented it to the
Omak Kiwanis Club, and the
Omak High School. 100 Omak
High School students signed a
giant pledge card to not use
alcohol and other drugs. The
project also included a rap
performed at Omak Kiwanis
and a poster campaign to
raise community awareness of
underage drinking and its
consequences.
KCCP Walkathon
During the Division Nine Kiwanis Divisional Council Meeting on April 13th, Division Nine
Kiwanis, Key Club, Builders Club, and Aktion Club participated in a walkathon for Kiwanis
Children’s Cancer Program. This was hosted at the Liberty Bell High School. The walkathon
was originally created by Key Clubber Kameron Smith, who graduated from Liberty Bell.
Members who participated in the walkathon received pledges from sponsors to donate to
this charity. This is one of many KCCP fundraiser that the Division Nine K-Family is a part
of.
Eliminate Week
The Okanogan Key Club donated all revenue from their daily ice cream sales to the
Eliminate Project for Eliminate Week. Omak Key Club members wore blue, changed their
Facebook profile picture to them as a baby, and promoted the publication of the Eliminate
Project. The Liberty Bell Key Club administered a miracle minute through their entire high
school.
Service in the City
2014 District Convention
PNW Key Club has outgrown the Doubletree
Hotel. The next DCON will be held at the Seattle
Convention Center in downtown Seattle, WA.
We will be staying at the Sheraton Hotel.
Convention will be on April 3-6 2014.
The District Board decided that the theme
for this years’ DCON will be Service in the
City because we will be in the heart of
Seatt le for the first t ime. We will be
combining Sleepless in Seatt le and a city
theme with service.
At DCON, we will have forums, a keynote
speaker, workshops, spirit contests, banquets,
the Governors Ball, and much, much more!
See you there! “65th annual it’s going to be
insane!”
District Project 2014
Eliminate Project
Governor Trang Tran announced at Spring Board that the
2013-2014 PNW District Project will be the same as the
International Project, Eliminate Project. This is a joint
effort between UNICEF and Kiwanis International to
eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. We plan to rid the
world of MNT by 2015. In order to accomplish this, we
need to raise US$110 million. We are currently on track to
eliminate the disease; however, we still have 30 more
countries left to eradicate the disease. Eliminate Project
needs more attention. This is why Governor Trang chose
this project. Our goal is to raise US$24,000.00 by the end
of the year. While this is a considerable amount of money,
the PNW contains more than 12,000 members. If each
member donates at least US$2.00 we will meet our goal.
Help us change the world, one life at a time.

tion
Okanogan Key Club hosted
this year’s Officer Installation
Ceremony. The ceremony
takes place annually to retire
the outgoing officers, and
induct the incoming officers.
We had 75% representation
for all the clubs in Div ision 9.
In attendance were Key
Clubbers, parent guests,
sponsoring Kiwanis clubs,
Area Administrator Roy
Reiber, and the 2013-2014
Lieutenant Governor of
Div ision Nine Kiwanis.
Div ision 9 also had the honor of
introducing Hakikat Bains,
Immediate Past Lieutenant
Governor of Division 9, as the
PNW District Secretary of Key
Club International. We are
proud Narwhals!
Good news, neither the
Okanogan Key Club bell nor
gavel was stolen. However,
the banner was in temporary
jeopardy.

May DCM
Service Leadership
This month’s DCM will be held during the Relay for
Life on May 17th-18th. Division 9 Key Club has a
team in which Liberty Bell, Omak, and Okanogan
Key Clubs will participate in. We will eat dinner,
play games, walk for cancer, and spend the night
at the Okanogan Track. In the morning, the
Kiwanis club will serve all Relay for Life teams
delicious pancakes. See you there!
Key Club turns 88 on May 7th.
Key Club has been helping the
world become a better place for
almost a century. Show off your
Key Club spirit by volunteering in
your community to help us
celebrate this momentous
occasion.
Service leadership is the model of the Key Club
Hierarchy. The members are the most
important. They are the ones who make the final
decisions for our division. They create projects
and define service. Club officers, District Board
Members, and International Officers all must
answer to the club members.
