MAKE THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS OF SUMMER THE BEST YETIt’s the final stretch before we are back into the world of books, tests, and homework, but what’s the positive side of all this? Key Club is back in session!

Hi again Division 64!

I hate to be that one person to bring it up, but yes, summer is

almost over. No more falling asleep in the AM and waking up in

the PM. No more laying out in the sun for hours and hours doing

nothing. No more seeing your friends more than your own family.

It’s sad, but true.

Good news is that for a lot of us, we only have one year of

high school left! In less than 10 months we will be in caps and

gowns, walking down the halls of our high schools for the very last

time. Keep this in mind as we fight through first semester, college

apps, and other important decisions.

And for those of you who have 2, 3, or even 4 years left in

high school, it’ll be over very very soon. One useful tip I’d give is to

take advantage of everything your school offers. Try out different

sports, go to different games and shows that you normally wouldn’t

go to, talk and make friends with new people, take challenging

classes, and be involved. No matter how fast you want to get out of

high school, you’ll regret not having done more of what you

could’ve done.

Speaking of trying new things, we need to all put our bright

minds together to think of new recruitment ideas for Key Club.

Freshmen are the target. They come into high school scared and

frightened. We should be the role models that help them through

the incredibly confusing year that we all had to endure.

Until next time,

BE EXCITED. BE MOTIVATED. BE ENTHUSIASTIC. BE

KIND. BE GENEROUS. BE HUMBLE. BE SELFLESS.

In love and service,

Rosaline Jun

Website RevealOne of my goals for our division is to increase communication between International, district, division, & club levels. The website is still in the works but here is a sneak peek!

This is the first thing you’ll see when you log onto the website. You will find a slideshow of pictures that’ll be regularly updated as well as links to the Key Club International website, our PNW District Website, and a form people can fill out to Join Key Club! There is also the Key Club Pledge just incase any of you forget :)

This Join Form will be a way for me to help people who are interested find Key Clubs at their schools or in their area!

The Menu Bar has links to all the different parts of the website. About Us, Calendar, Resources, PNW Updates, Photos, and a Contact Page.

Packing beans, posing for pictures, helping the hungry.For our July DCM, we went to the

Oregon Food Bank in Beaverton to help

package food that will be distributed within

the Washington County and also throughout

the state. By volunteering only about an hour

and a half, we were able to package 2423

meals. That’s 73 meals per volunteer! I

suggest coming here again with your club!

Key Leader is from Oct. 5-7 at Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp..... Will you be there?

Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership

program for today's young leaders. This life-changing

event focuses on service leadership as the first, most

meaningful leadership-development experience. A Key

Leader will learn the most important lesson of

leadership—it comes from helping others succeed.

Participants begin by attending a Key Leader

conference, which is a weekend retreat. Large and small

group workshops, discussions and team-building

activities take place over the course of the weekend.

Students have opportunities to learn leadership skills

that will help them to change their schools,

communities, and world for the better. While exploring

leadership in a whole new way, participants will make

amazing new friends and have experiences they will

never forget. Positive, ongoing interaction with other

Key Leader graduates offers continuing reinforcement,

encouragement and growth of leadership skills.

On the left is the “What is Key Leader?” explanation on

the Key Leader website. It’s basically a conference where

other Key Clubbers from around your area meet to

learn leadership skills, meet new friends, and continue

to build their home clubs.

I’ve only heard amazing things from people I know that

have attended Key Leader. The activities are worthwhile

and fun, the food is great, and you get a lot of time to

bond with other people that live or go to school near

you.

I encourage as many people to go to Key Leader as

possible this year. Prices and transportation can be

discussed at future DCMs, but if you are at all

interested in attending with me and several other

Division 64 Key Clubbers, let me know! Also, check out

the website at www.key-leader.org.

Whoever emails back the answers to these riddles first will get a prize at the next DCM!

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you just eat?

What goes around the world but stays in a corner?

August DCM

August DCM will be a joint-divisional DCM with Division 62 and Division 66! That means you’ll get to meet a ton of other Key Clubbers from the Portland area! Keep your eye out for the date!

HURRY! EMAIL ME BACK!
