Great job on preparing for Spooky Street and cleaning up! I hope you all had a great

time and enjoyed helping out. It‟s

exciting to see all the children smiling!

Spooky Street came and went by so

quickly! Thanksgiving is soon coming up

and I hope you‟re ready to put on a chef

hat, „cause we‟ll be baking some pies! In the

past, we always bake some pies for families.

Not everyone is fortunate to have

a grand feast; that is why we‟ll put our baking

skills and our love into making pies so that

others can enjoy it. I am not sure about the

details, but be sure to be on the look out

for any new information! Fantastic job on decorating for Spooky

Street! Hard work pays off!

Enjoy the autumn breeze and embrace the blissful spirit. Be thankful for what you

have and give more to the people around you. Meanwhile, CARE, „cause, key

clubbers, that’s our way of life.

As you may know, we are partnered with United Nations

Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Money Raised goes towards the

Children who are less fortunate in Countries around the

world. Instead of Trick-or-Treating for candy, ask your

neighbors to donate any spare change to UNICEF and remember

to thank them for their appreciation and kindness.

Have fun, Dress up, and be safe!

Remember, nothing’s Impossible!

You just got to BELIEVE!

*DON’T STOP BELIEVING.*

bowling! It was a blast! Nice Job

“The Pacific Northwest is the beginning. The world is our goal.”

“KCCP, Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program, 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.”

In memory of Penny, a young girl who passed away because of brain cancer, PNW Kiwanis District Governor Frank Morehouse founded

KCCP in 2010. This program is dedicated to help “change the future and outcome of Children suffering from cancer.” The PNW is going to

stay involved in this program until the cure for cancer is found.

There are several ways we, key clubbers, can contribute:

Raise money

Go to the hospital and take a tour

Spend some time with a cancer patient Any act of kindness is a big difference.

If you have any more ideas, feel free to speak up. No one’s stopping you!

WHY SHOULD WE CARE? Because no child deserves to have cancer. It’s painful for the

child and their family. Not just physically, but mentally. It’s devastating. Imagine just happening to have a disease the

next day. You, too, would be in pain and scared because anything can happen. You could die the next day without

knowing. No child deserves to be left wondering what’s going to happen the next day, but they do deserve a chance of life.

But that can only happen if we do something today. We’ve already begun. But if you haven’t, then join the fun because

the sooner you start the more we can get done.

WHAT AND WHY: I HIGHLY encourage everyone to go to District Convention

(DCON). You learn a lot more about Key Club at a district level. You meet key

clubbers from around the Pacific Northwest and develop a keen sense that key club

is more than just a club. If I had a million dollars, I’d force all of you to go. It’s just

that good.

But, sadly, I don’t. So, let me just say, it’s an experience you shouldn’t miss out on.

You have fun and learn how to be the best Key clubber!!! And the best thing is you

get to bring it back to club and brag about it and hopefully get more people to go

next time. Well, maybe not the best thing. But still, You WILL have a great time. And

I guarantee it. SO GUYS AND GALS. GO TO DCON.

THAT’S RIGHT. YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE!! Okay, then go to PNWKEYCLUB.ORG

and click on DCON. or ask officers.

“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… 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…It

will take US $110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family.

Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces…eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will

reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many

families.” -Kiwanis/UNICEF
