Self-Introduction

Hey Key Clubbers, how does it feel

to be back from DCON 2013? I

don’t know about you, but it just

makes me more and more pumped to

serve you all for this coming year.

If you do not know who I am, well

then I apologize. My name is Amy

Liu, and I am your new Lieutenant

Governor (Lt. G) for the year 2013-

2014. I am from Bremerton high

school, and I am currently a junior,

16 years old and turning 17 on the

20th of this month! I am so excited to

share my last year of high school

serving Key Club with you guys by

my side. I can already tell it will be a

year full of goal setting and goal

succeeding as well as making new

friends and learning new things.

Although we have many schools in

our division, I can’t feel our spirit…

So this year, I’ll make sure we ROCK

THE HOUSE at DCON 2014!

HEY KEY CLUBBERS, HOW DO HEY KEY CLUBBERS, HOW DO HEY KEY CLUBBERS, HOW DO HEY KEY CLUBBERS, HOW DO

YOU FEEL?YOU FEEL?YOU FEEL?YOU FEEL?

You better be feeling good and

raising up those hands for a rapper

styling TOASTY.

Many people say that I look intimidating, so if that’s

how you see me at first, I am sorry! I’m the opposite of

intimidating, more than anything, I am a pushover. I love

having fun and I am clumsy, so I’m sorry if I trip and fall

when we meet. I promise I’ll try my best to balance!

A farewell to our beloved Lieutenant Governor of the year 2012-2013

Oh Rich… Richy Rich… Richard… You are, without a doubt,

one heck of a guy! You are definitely not what meets the

eye and by far, you are one of the most interesting people I

have met all year.

I am so glad that I am your innie because you are so nice

and you actually try to befriend your innie, unlike those who

treat them as eyesores.

You’re a very intelligent guy who knows when things are,

and are not very apro-pro. You can flip, like a switch,

between professional, and normal. It will definitely be hard

to fill your shoes as being that “one guy” who is funny gets

along with everyone on the board.

I still feel really bad about drinking your try at the traditional

innie will… I will definitely create a tradition in your honor,

and I hope that I will have done our division as proud as you

have.

You will definitely go very far in life.

Love Always,

Amy Liu

I’d just like to day that all the key

clubbers in divisions 19/36 have been

such a tremendous blessing to befriend

and serve with. You guys are what

makes Key Club, Key Club. What Key

Club is to me is family. And all you

guys are family. I can't wait to see what's

in store this year! Amy is a rockin’ Lt. G

and will be committed to making this

the best year yet. I’ll see you all later!

Richard’s Parting Words

Richard Lavoie

DCON 2013

Hey Key Clubbers, how was

your time at DCON? Mine

was filled with work, but it

was still a BLAST,

nonetheless.

If you have not attended

DCON at all, you MUST. I

feel like it should be a

requirement for all Key

Clubbers to attend a district

convention some time

during their membership

into Key Club because it is

definitely an experience

you will regret not having.

It is honestly more fun than

homecoming and tolo

combined. At DCON, not

only will you make new

friends, you will meet cute

boys and girls from all over

the PNW… ooh la-la

indeed. I’m not saying that

the only reason someone

should join Key Club is

DCON, but it is a very good

experience to have before

going to college. Please do

not recruit any members by

saying the only reason they

should join is DCON; DCON

is like a reward we earn for

doing all the service we do.

It would break my heart to

see people taking

advantage of Key Club in

that way. But anyways, if

you are thinking about it,

think no more and just DO

IT. #YOLO, SON.

1. Increasing Membership

2. Improving Relationships

3. Having Fun

4. Do many divisional projects

5. Design and sell apparel!

6. Make it the BEST YEAR YET

1. Increasing Membership

The reason I want to do this is

because Key Club has so much to offer

people. It can affect people in a good

way and being in Key Club has allowed

me opportunities to get closer to my

peers as well as making new friends

along the way.

2. Improving Relationships

What I mean by this is improving

relationships among the clubs in our

divisions. I want our division to be

together as a whole and to have all of us

already know some people from other

schools. With this goal, I pretty much just

want to unite us all and just have a really

great time while doing it.

3. Having Fun

Aside from taking our roles

seriously, we are here to have fun. I don’t

want a division full of mopey people, I

want us all to enjoy the time we have left

with Key Club and even more, enjoy the

precious time we have left in high school.

I’m sure no one is here to not have fun,

anyways.

4. Do many Divisional Projects

Yes, divisional projects! I’m hoping that we can raise a lot of

money to donate to KCCP, UNICEF, or March of Dimes. In all of the

years that I have been in Key Club, I have never once done any

divisional projects where we get together with other Key Clubs in our

division to do ANYTHING. I think this’ll be a success, and it’ll be fun. ;D

Just wait, I am SO PUMPED.

5. Design and Sell Apparel

With this, we can be raising money all year as well as have

really cool, unique shirts, hoodies, and sweats we can rock. I’ll

probably hold a lot of drawing contests within this year, so be

prepared to submit a drawing. Be sure to tell any key clubber in our

division about this!

Don’t forget about our divisional shirts for DCON! The contest

for that will be held all year!

6. Make it the BEST YEAR YET

Let’s show Class of 2013 that it sucks to be graduating

because this year will be the BEST. Let’s make lifelong memories and

lifelong habits. Let’s make serving fun and let’s eliminate the social

cliques that exist outside of Key Club, and serve the community and

ourselves without prejudice.

My goals for this year

ICON 2013

International Convention 2013

If you thought you enjoyed DCON, well, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy ICON even more! Unlike DCON,

ICON is not only Key Clubbers from the PNW, but of various other places too! This year at DCON, we

were inspired by ICON to exchange pins, however, not everyone had pins *sad face*. At ICON,

everyone has pins, including us, yay! That means we get to meet other people, exchange pins with

them, and make new friends. Doesn’t that sound really exciting?

This year’s ICON will be held at Washington D.C. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve always

wanted to visit the other Washington. This year, we will not only be attending the international

convention, we will also be touring around DC for a few days before and after. We will be in DC from

July 1-8, ICON will be the 3-6.

To everyone who is thinking about being Lt. G or a district position next year, it would be a pretty

good idea to go to ICON to get to know everyone beforehand. Even if you aren’t planning on

running for anything, this would be a great experience to have. To all those graduating this year, I

hope you all go to ICON so you can all leave Key Club with a BANG!

Hope to see you there~

Divisional T-Shirts:

This will be the shirts we rep at DCON. The

types of designs we usually see at DCON is

adorable and cartoon-like. It would be pretty cool

to see someone design a swanky tee we could rep

as a whole division. But of course, you don’t have

to buy one for DCON, and you can buy one even

if you’re not attending.

Divisional PinsDivisional PinsDivisional PinsDivisional Pins:

This is the pin that we will be trading with other

divisions at DCON (or you could just order a couple for

yourself if you’re not attending). It’s a great way to break

the ice with some people, and it’ll be cool walking

around like a BOSS with all those different divisional

pins on your lanyard.

These pins can be cute or plain or rockin’. Up to the

voters and the designers, right? :) I am thinking about

three designs will make it to DCON.

in designs for hoodies or shirts or sweats you’d like to see. Contact me for more info on that. This will be

going on all year long, and the summer applications, I’ll start sending those designs off to be made. This

event, however, will be held all year long, so I’m hoping to see those design e-mails pop up!
