What's up SHARK NATION?
This is your newly elected District
Governor of the Pacific Northwest
District, Trang Tran. I cannot explain
how blessed and honored I am for this
wonderful opportunity to serve Key
Clubbers throughout the Pacific
Northwest. I am humbled to say that I
am from Division 34. This division has
served me well, and I am so grateful to
all of you- you made this past year as
lieutenant governor a year of a
lifetime. As your governor, know that
your district is in good hands. I will strive
to make this year an unforgettable,
wonderful, and overall fantastic year.
Watching your 2013-2014 Lieutenant
Governor, Tina Sok, over the past
couple of weeks, she is on top of her
game. I expect this division to support
her, and show the PNW what you are
made of! She is already such an
amazing lieutenant governor, and I
know she will make this division proud.
In the upcoming year, don't forget to
serve your communities, try your best in
school, and above all, care- because
it is our way of life. Encourage
everyone in your communities to join
this wonderful organization so that they
Trang Tran
can make friends and make an
impacct on the world.
Peace, Love, Key Club,

Hey Sharks!
I am so excited to serve as your Lieutenant Governor this year! I can tell this will be
a great and amazing year. I want to let you all know that no matter what the
obstacles may be, I will do my best to always be there for you. Don’t think of me
as a mother that will nag you almost all the time, but think of me of a best friend!
I’ll be there for you when you need a helping hand, or a shoulder to cry on, or a
person to hang out with. Let’s get rid of that wall between each other and build
a bond with each other that’s stronger than ever. Call me, beep me, if you
wanna reach me – whatever it may be, I will make it very easy for you to contact
me. Now, I ask the same for all of you! Please do your best to keep in contact
with me and I’ll do my best to do great things for the division.
Thank you all so much for being awesome! I’m looking forward to working with
you all!
With love and service,
Division 34 Lieutenant Governor

INTERNATIONAL
CONVENTION AND
PNW DISTRICT TOUR
JULY 1-8, 2013
BAKEOFF BAKE SALE
You can set parameters like participants
can only bake cookies or cakes, or just let
everyone do their own thing. Charge a
small fee to enter the contest. Find a venue
for everyone to gather and have their
baked goods judged. Provide a small prize
for the winner, and then sell off all the
baked goods. You can either charge per
item, or just ask for donations for the items
people choose to buy. Sell punch or soda
for people to wash down those cookies and
brownies.
BBQ CONTEST
Amp up the fun with a little competition
to find out who has the top grill skills.
Contestants need to be original! Ask
members of your group to act as judges.
Create categories for different meats and
vegetables, and categories for mild and spicy sauces. Require contestants to pay
an entry fee, and then you can charge
spectators by the plate. This event can
be held on its own, or as part of a larger
event like a field day. May the best griller
win!
Kiwanis
International and UNICEF have joined
forces to eliminate maternal and
neonatal tetanus. Neonatal tetanus
kills one baby every nine minutes—
nearly 60,000 newborn children every
year. A significant number of women
also die due to maternal tetanus. To
eliminate MNT from the Earth, 129
million mothers and their future
babies must be immunized. It will
take $110 million—and the
dedicated work of UNICEF and every
member of the Kiwanis family.
Visit www.TheEliminateProject.org for
more information.
How will YOU eliminate
MNT?
The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve
the health of babies by preventing birth
defects, premature birth, and infant
mortality. Key Club members, like you, can
support the March of Dimes each semester: in
the fall, raise awareness by hosting programs and in the spring, raise funds by participating in
March for Babies, the March of Dimes largest
annual fundraiser.
Wilson Key Club has
created a joint team for
Divisions 34 and 35 for the
walk of March of Dimes.
March of Dimes will be on
May 18th, 9 am to 12 pm at
Wilson High School. Key
Clubbers are encouraged
to find sponsors to walk for
the March of Dimes. For
more information, contact
Wilson key Club’s President,
Joan Vo,
ilalalyjoan@yahoo.com.
Stadium Key Club received the Silver Award for
Membership Growth at DCON 2013’s Awards
Ceremony. After one year, Stadium has jumped from
having a small club to having over 100 paid members.
Stadium Key Club deserves the spotlight for their hard
work and enthusiam, as well as persistence throughout
the course of the year. Their work is truly inspiring!
What are YOU doing that
could put you in the spotlight? Stay tuned to see if
you or your club will be featured in the next
newsletter’s Spotlight!
