A Note from Your Governor

To the Spicy Southwest District,

I am absolutely elated to be serving as the Southwest

District Governor this year. I‘m currently a junior at Lake Havasu

High School in the beautiful Lake Havasu City, Arizona. My Key

Club journey began my freshman year and quickly developed

into a passion. At DCON in El Paso, I ran for Lieutenant Governor

and honorably served the Mohave Division for the 2013-2014

year. After a year of service on the district board, I decided the

time to step up was now. So at this year’s DCON in Tucson, I ran

for the 2014-2015 Southwest District Governor.

Key Club is something special. We all know that. We see

it, we feel it, and we hear it every day. Key Club isn't just a high

school organization dedicated to serving our homes, schools,

and communities. It's a family. A family that grows through

compassion, leadership, inclusiveness, and care. My goals this

year are to Strengthen K-Family Bonds, Boost Membership, Close

the Gap, and to Push for Passionate Service. And as a family, we

must see to it that together we accomplish these goals.

This year will be what you make it. Take risks. Open doors.

Have fun. Whatever you want out of this year, you can get with

dedication, drive, and faith. Don't be afraid to try the

unthinkable. We can do this. Together.

Always in Service,

Riley Jandrew

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jake Ormond and I am serving as your

District Secretary/ Treasurer for the 2014-2015 year! I live in

Surprise, Arizona and go to school at Willow Canyon High.

Key Club has changed my life so much over the past three

years, and while I am disappointed this year in Key Club is

my last, I know that it will be the best! I am so excited to

get to work with all of the members of the Southwest

District this year!

Some of my goals that I have set for myself, and for

the district are; to increase communication between the

club officer level and the district office, to have all monthly

reports turned in on time, have all officers in the district

trained by their lieutenant governor, and my big goal is to

hold a Key Club United Day. Key Club United day is where

every single active club in the Southwest District Unites and

holds a massive fundraiser to raise funds for a project that

we all vote upon, including clubs! This will definitely be a

major undertaking, but I believe I am ready for the

challenge, but will also need all your help, as well as input.

I am so excited to work with all of you this year, and

I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us!

Sincerely,

Jake Ormond

Hey Southwest!

I'm Efren Fonseca and I'm your 2014-2015

Bulletin Editor! I'm so happy to have the

opportunity to work alongside your governor,

Riley Jandrew, Secretary/treasurer, Jake

Ormond, and the rest of the lieutenant

governors.

I have a few goals that revolve around the

idea to inspire others, as cheesy as I may sound. I

would like to see more from the clubs such as

more pictures, videos, articles, and anything you

would like to see recognized in either The Key to

the Southwest or online at swdkeyclub.org.

I'll be on the lookout for those of you who

come through and send me the most material

that I'll need to really show what Key Club is

about and how it's possible with all your help.

Stay spicy,

Efren Fonseca

Major Emphasis Projects

62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network

Hospital every minute. Some are battling cancer.

Some are suffering from a traumatic injury.

Others require constant care because they were

born too early. Regardless why these children are

there, Children’s Miracle Network uses donations to

purchase equipment, research, and care: all to

save and improve lives of as many children as

possible.

The Hershey’s Track & Field Games are the

largest youth sports programs of its kind in North

American, with hundreds of thousands of

children competing every year. Everyone has a

chance to be among the 480 athletes who

qualify at the North American Finals. Hershey’s

Track and Field works to inspire to get outside

and have fun!

Since March of Dimes launched the national

Prematurity Campaign, preterm birth rates have

reached a 10-year-low. In 2012, the drive to

eliminate elective deliveries before 39

completed weeks of pregnancy with nearly 100

hospitals was put into motion. Now this comfort

and support to families with newborn babies is

offered to more than 128 hospitals all over the

country.

Governor’s Project: Beads of Courage

District Project: The Eliminate Project

5

Major Emphasis Projects

The Program is a resilience-based

intervention designed to support and

strengthen children and families coping

with serious illness. Through the program

children tell their story using colorful beads

as meaningful symbols of courage

that commemorate milestones they have

achieved along their unique treatment

path.

Kiwanis International UNICEF have

teamed up for the fight against

maternal and neonatal tetanus: a

disease that steals the life of 60,000

innocent babies and women a year.

The effects of the disease are

excruciating: extreme sensitivity to

touch, light, and sound
