Hello, Pacific Northwest!

It is crazy to think that our summer is over two-thirds complete! As the season passes us by, continue using this time to recharge and create memories with your friends and family. Taking time to do this now is especially important because the busyness of fall will certainly sweep us away. Within our organization, Key Club Days offer an excellent opportunity for you to create these cherished memories. Be sure to review more information about Key Club Days below!

With the excitement of Key Club Days and other summer activities, I encourage you to create a balance by preparing for the upcoming year. Demonstrating this balance, several Key Club leaders joined us during our Executive Make-Up OTC. The Exec OTC equipped incoming Key Club leaders with important information and skills for their term. Through fact-filled presentations and peer-led breakout sessions, the Exec OTC provided valuable opportunities to share ideas and collaborate. If you weren’t able to join us for our Exec OTC, don’t worry! A recording will be released soon, so keep reviewing these Biweekly Updates and double-check our PNW Key Club YouTube channel.

As the summer begins to wind down, Key Club begins to ramp up! Remember to stay engaged with our district activities, such as Key Club Days, webinars, and newsletters. We have a lot to look forward to, and I don’t want you to miss important updates.

Never hesitate to contact me at governor@pnwkeyclub.org with any questions, concerns, or ideas. I hope to see you at Key Club Days 2025!

In Care and Service,
Gavin Ahumada
District Governor

Key Club Days

Key Club Day registration is open now! Key Club Days are designed to be fun, motivational, and educational, focused on enhancing the membership experience year-round, not just at the District Convention. Tickets will be available through the PNW Key Club Shop.

To energize these events, a FREE virtual Key Club Days kick-off event will be available to you and your division on August 20, 2025 at 7:00 PM! These virtual celebrations will provide an opportunity to attend high-quality workshops at no cost, making them a perfect opportunity to kick off Key Club Days 2025!

District Leadership Vacancies

We are pleased to report that nearly all divisions have Lieutenant Governors. However, we still need your help! Lieutenant Governors are vital to the health of each Key Club division, as they create a critical connection between the club and district levels. Clubs in divisions that are not served by a Lieutenant Governor lack a consistent source of relevant updates, resources, and leadership.

The following divisions have Lieutenant Governor vacancies.

• Division 9
• Division 22/24
• Division 52
• Division 74
• Division 76

If you or anyone you know is from one of these divisions and is interested in serving as a Lieutenant Governor during the 2025-2026 service year, please contact me at governor@pnwkeyclub.org or District Administrator Brian Egger at administrator@pnwkeyclub.org. Serving on the District Board is an incredible experience that provides opportunities to create change and develop as a leader.
