HEY KEY CLUBBERS!
My name is Joseph Chung and I am to be a
senior at Pullman High School. I am the
Lieutenant Governor of Division 56 for the 2012-
2013 term. I do not view Key Club as a high
school service club that is just about SERVING
the community – it is about BEING a community.
As members of a community, I believe that
helping the people around us is more of a
given, and this act should not be limited to only
the service opportunities offered in Key Club. As
members of Key Club, we should be setting this
example for others to follow. My job as
Lieutenant Governor is to connect the clubs in
our division with the Pacific Northwest District
Board. Due to our isolated locations, one of our
division’s largest problems has always been a
lack of continuous communication between
clubs. As Lieutenant Governor, my goals for the
upcoming term is to improve communication
by actively speaking with club officers, regularly
visiting each club, and promoting cooperation
between the members of different clubs. I am
very much looking forward to serving you guys
this year, so let’s work together to be the best
division we can be! See you guys soon!
In caring & service,
Joseph Chung

CLUB OFFICERS, KIWANIS ADVISORS,

Please e-mail me your e-mail address, phone number, home address, school
address, meeting information (day, time, location), sponsoring Kiwanis club
name, and their meeting information (day, time, location). This information is
required for the District Directory and my Division 56 Contact Sheet. I need
this information ASAP!
Division 56 of the Pacific
Northwest District currently consists of
Pullman High School, Moscow High
School, and Kamiah High School. We
are part of the Eastside region.
Although we only have 3 clubs, we are
one of the most widespread divisions in
the district.
Our new Divisional Mascot is the
Penguin! I have chosen the penguin
because I believe that, although our
clubs are far apart, we all come
together as one division in SERVICE.
Our new Divisional Colors are Blue and
Yellow! Blue represents our pride as
members of Key Club and Yellow
represents our shining efforts in service!
WE ARE DIVISION 56!

EASTSIDE RALLY
EASTSIDE, BEASTSIDE! Some of you may have heard that chant
at District Convention (DCON) this year.
And if you enjoyed District Convention
2012, you‘ll love Eastside Rally 2012! It will
be held on August 18th at John Rogers
High School in Spokane, WA. There are
several different rallies held across our
District, serving as “mini-DCONs”. Eastside
Rally is a great way to meet new Key
Clubbers from across the Eastside region
(Eastern Washington, Northeastern
Oregon, and Northwestern Idaho) and
receive training as new officers! The
event starts at 11:00 am and ends at 4:00
pm (snacks & lunch will be provided).
There will be forums, activities, and much
more! Online registration is available at
http://eastsiderally2012.eventbrite.com/
and admission is only $5! SEE YOU THERE!
ICON 2012
P-N-W! International Convention 2012 was
absolutely amazing! I learned so much in
the workshops I attended, made many
new friends from all over the world, and
was able to participate in electing our new
International Board for the 2012-2013 term.
It was truly an unforgettable experience.
Thank you to all the people that supported
my trip, I cannot express my gratitude
enough in words. Congratulations to Annie
Lewandowski on her successful term as
International President, congratulations to
all of our Distinguished Lieutenant
Governor Award recipients, and finally
congratulations to Calvin Leung
(Immediate Past Lt.G of Division 66) and
MaryAlice Peng (Immediate Past District
Bulletin Editor) on their election to the
office of International Trustee! ICON 2013
will be held in Washington D.C. by the
Capital District, hope to see you all there! :)
HOME SWEET HOME!
“It sounds so surreal to say this, but I am
OVERJOYED in having the opportunity serving
my heart out as the international Trustee for
the Rocky Mountains District, the Minnesota
Dakotas District, and my home, the Pacific
Northwest District! In my final year in Key Club,
I have only one overarching goal – and it can
be summed up in only one word: opportunity.
What members don’t realize is that every
single person has the ability to make a
difference. Even just one person’s initiative
can spark a lame of generosity and ingenuity.
Therefore, as International Trustee, I look to
equip our members with even more
accessible means to elevate club leadership,
excellence, and recognition.”
MEET YOUR NEW I.T.

OUR 2012-2013 SISTER DISTRICT GOVERNORS
KCCP The Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program, KCCP, in support of Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s
Cancer Program in Portland OR., Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program in Seattle WA. and the
Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program in British Columbia and the Yukon, will raise money and
awareness to fight and find the cure for children’s cancer. The goal of the KCCP is to fund 3 or
more Fellowships at the three hospitals in our district. To achieve this goal we will hold district
fundraisers, seek public donations, corporate sponsors and receive funds from our clubs in the
Pacific Northwest District. Thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and with
the help of research their chances of surviving have more than tripled. KCCP hopes to be a part
of finding a cure. Not only will this benefit children it will benefit all cancer patients worldwide.
Remember the research of adult cancers does nothing to help cure children’s cancer, but the
research of children’s cancers does help find the cure of adult cancers.
ELIMINATE With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF
have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal
tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000
innocent babies and a significant number of women each
year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny
newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme
sensitivity to light and touch. 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.
