Greetings from Your Lieutenant Governor
Hello Division 38!
These past previous months have been filled with numerous overwhelming events. From dealing with graduation preparations, to studying for finals, SATs and AP Exams. I would first like to take the time to thank each and every one of you for your patience and eagerness to serve. On that note summer is right around the corner, and I urge you to not forget your duties as Key Club members and to keep in touch with your advisors, and or Kiwanis Clubs and to also stay active in the aiding your communities. During the last two DCMs, we brainstormed some great ideas for a divisional projects that could possibly take place this summer, the final decision will be made at our next DCM, which will occur on the 21st of this month. At this DCM we will also be finalizing the carpooling plans for commuting to Tacoma Rally the next week. Thank you for taking the time to read my newsletter this month.
In Love and Service,
Georgette Lugalia

Kiwanis International is a global organization of members dedicated to serving the children of the
world. Kiwanis and its family of clubs—nearly 600,000 members strong—annually raise more than US$100
million and dedicate more than 18 million volunteer hours to strengthen communities and serve children.
Members of every age attend regular meetings, experience fellowship, raise funds for various causes
and participate in service projects that help their communities. Members also make an impact
throughout the world by participating in Kiwanis International’s Global Campaign for Children, The Eliminate Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and
neonatal tetanus.
Without Kiwanis, Key Clubs near and far could not be what they are today. In saying this, I have to emphasize the importance of keeping a close relationship with our Kiwanis sponsors and clubs. Thanks to the support and
guidance of Kiwanians we are able to go out into the world and give back in service.

The Eliminate Project
One baby dies every 9 minutes from neonatal tetanus.
160 babies die each day from neonatal
tetanus.
On average, health education and a series of
three doses of tetanus vaccine cost $2.00

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 million — and the
dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of
the Kiwanis family. The end of this one disease
means the beginning of
better health for so many
families.

Meet the Newest Members of the District Board
How's it going, Key Clubbers? My name is Athena Sok (but you may also call me Tina)
and I have been blessed with the opportunity to be appointed as your K-Family Relations
and International Projects Director! I reside in the city of Tacoma and I am a shark of
Division 34. I bleed black and gold because I am an incoming senior at Lincoln High
School. But enough about me, I am extremely excited to work with the district board this
year AND to meet all of you! As your K-Fam/Int. Projects Director, I plan to significantly
improve the relationships and communication between Key Club members and the K-
Family branches. In this upcoming year, my plans include district wide events that allow
Circle K, Kiwanis, and many more K-Family members to join together and share our love
for service. These events will be put on in support of our preferred charities which will
allow more K-Family members to join our cause! I am looking forward to a fun-filled and
fantastic year with you all. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (253) 310-
3271 or [email protected].
Hey Key Clubbers, we have a single year left. In 2015 The Kiwanis family
will turn 100 and The Eliminate Project will come to a close. Maternal
/Neonatal tetanus is not waiting for us to act. We must fight quickly and
together. Now that I sound like a dictator, I want to make sure you know me!
I am Ben Scranage, your 2014-2015 District Projects Director. I want to
work with each and every one of your clubs to make sure that the Pacific
Northwest reaches their goal of fifty thousand dollars this Key Club Year! I
promise you that even though I live in the small town of Harrisburg, Oregon,
just outside of Eugene, I will be there for any of your questions at any time
of the day. My phone number is (541) 220-0066, and my email is
[email protected]. Reach out and don't feel like a stranger.
Hi, I'm Suvir Copparam, your Membership Growth and
Reactivation Director! I'll be working to increase membership
and make club meetings more fun for all of you this year!
Outside of Key Club, I'm really interested in programming
and making things/engineering which I'd like to use to make a
positive impact on the lives of others. I really love being part
of an organization that is making such a huge difference in
the world with the help of so many other people!
I'm Anav Gagneja, and I'll be serving as your communications director this
year! Stumbling into that first key club meeting as a confused sophomore was
undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've ever made - one that has led to a
myriad of amazing friends, countless hours of devoted service, and an
innumerable amount of great experiences. I'm so excited to be able to give
back to this club which has provided me with so much! Outside of Key Club, I
enjoy science, friends, and cookie crisp. Can't wait to make this the best year
ever working on the District Board!
The Convention Team
Hey PNW! My name is Cleo Tsang and I’m currently a junior at
Kentridge High School from D32 and throughout my high school career
I have served as a class rep. historian (it’s a position ok), vice-
president, Convention Aide, and now Convention Chair! I will be in
charge of planning the 66th Annual District Convention and honestly, I
am so excited! I hope that this will be the best convention ever! My Key
Club journey so far has been nothing short of amazing, and I owe so
much to this district. But aside from Key Club, I like tennis, bread,
potatoes, coffee ice cream and hippos. I am also a part of DECA,
NHS, Robotics, ASB, and my local youth group. I am so honored and
grateful to be serving as the Convention Chair and I hope to make you
guys proud!
Hello PNW! I’m Ryan Miura and I’m one of your
Convention Aides this year who will help plan the 66th
annual District Convention. Key Club has had a huge
impact on who I am, and I hope I can continue to grow
and learn from my experiences as a part of the K-
Family. I love trees, cats, and meeting my fellow PNW
Key Clubbers so holla at me if you happen to see me
and want to talk! I’m pumped to represent the most
loving and spirited division around, Division 66, so let’s
work together to have a great year of service!
Hey! I’m Jag and I’m your Convention Aide! I’m really
ecstatic to be on the board and ready to put on the best
DCON ever! I’m a runner and I love listening to music! Most
of my free time is spent on going to all of my home Key
Club’s service projects… because, well Key Club is life! My
favorite color is aquamarine and I’m super random and
charismatic with most anything! I look forward to becoming
best friends with all of you Key Clubbers! Agape!
