HEY D38W ROBOTS!
I hope you all have been doing well!
As you all know, DISTRICT CONVENTION is quickly coming up! That is where you will have theopportunity to learn more about Key Club from a DISTRICT perspective. Our District being Cali-Nev-Ha!
You’ll be able to attend workshops on various different topics, interact with other Key Club membersand make new friends, elect the new District Executive Board for 2013-2014, dance the night away atthe Governors Ball, or if dancing isn’t your thing, attend alternate activities full of fun icebreakers andgames!
Also, at DCON, the board for 2012-2013 will officially retire, and the 2013-2014 board will be offi-cially installed! This will be a huge moment for myself and D38W’s Lt. Governor elect, Cecilia Nguyen!She will be installed and officially begin her term as your new Lt. Governor on the last day of DCON,and thus my term will be complete. Together, we will be able to celebrate a year of service and memo-ries we’ve shared together as a Robot Ohana, as well as celebrate this new transition of leadership andservice.
I look forward to truly making the most of what is left of the 2012-2013 Key Club Year with the won-derful D38W Ohana!

The Pediatric Trauma Program was established by the KiwanisCali - Nev - Ha Foundation in 1994, focusing on the needs foreducation and training in injury prevention and pediatric trauma.Their mission statement is ʺto develop local projects, which willreduce the number of children in our district who are killed orinjured by trauma.ʺ
The leading cause of death among children ages 14 and under inthe United States is pediatric trauma, or unintentional injury.Every year, more children die from easily be preventable pediatrictrauma than all childhood diseases combined!

What is PTP?
What Can I Do To Help?
You can help your club and the division provide aware-ness and prevent pediatric trauma by making surethe community is educated on safety and any possiblehazards, having a donation drive on items such asbicycle helmets and child safety seats, and much,much more!You can also assist the children that were involvedin trauma by collecting items of comfort, such asstuffed animals and blankets, to donate. You caneven make cards to help cheer up the children!

P r o j e c t E L I M I N A T EP r o j e c t E L I M I N A T EP r o j e c t E L I M I N A T EEliminating Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus
ARE YOU READY TO HELP?A birth of a newborn is a joyous event in any lifetime. However,in 38 different countries, that amazing event can quicklyturn into a tragedy.With the Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International andUNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neona-tal tetanus. This deadly disease takes the life of one babyevery nine minutes — nearly 60,000 innocent babies everyyear. That’s 60,000 babies a year that will never grow up,play with friends, hear their mother’s laugh, or even dreamabout their future.A significant number of women also die due to maternal teta-nus. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny new-borns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensi-tivity to light and touch.Learn more about The Eliminate Project atwww.TheEliminateProject.org.
Roughly $1.80 for 3 doses of tetanus vaccineJust $2 = Protection for mothers + future babies

Last year, the California-Nevada-Hawaii District began a new district project: ProjectJump Start. This 2-year project is geared towards providing children from ages 0-5 a jumpstart during the most crucial years of an infant’s life. Project Jump Start is a great way to giveback to your communities and give infants the jump start they need to succeed, one baby step ata time. The potential of Division 38 West is more than enough to make an impact on ourcommunities through Project Jump Start.
Project Jump Start allows children to have a successful childhood, and to one daygrow to be competent, caring leaders like each and every one of us are today. By providingthis support to young children, we are giving them the opportunity to grow and becomestrong-willed individuals. Not only does this project affect our communities, but it goes as faras to provide a benefit to children internationally. By focusing on children’s education, health,safety, and wellbeing – we will be giving children all around the world equal opportunities tohave a fresh and vibrant beginning, a jump start.
Now here’s the fun part: how to get involved. Simply, by finding a project, or even better,making your own. Working with local organizations is a great way to get involved in theDistrict Project. Even Key Club International’s service partners: UNICEF, Children’s MiracleNetwork, and March of Dimes support our objectives in Project Jump Start. The amountsof service projects are endless, so what are you waiting for? I’m looking forward to hearingabout your club participating in Project Jump Start. By submitting articles, visuals, and adescription of your project to Jeanie Paek at [email protected], you havea chance to be spotlighted on the CNH Cyberkey for the whole district to see your involvementin the District Project. Subjects in any visuals you submit must sign a photo release form,which can be found on the Cyberkey.Together, Division 38 West can make an impact: one baby step at a time.
