Hello, PNW Key Club!
As summer begins, I encourage you to have fun and enjoy your time away from school. While doing so, please take a moment to express gratitude and appreciate the people who have helped you get to where you are today.
Many of us are graduating and moving into new stages of life. Some of us may be serving our country, attending a four-year or two-year university, or attending a trade school. Whatever your next step may be, I hope you find your footing, knowing that you are supported and loved by those around you.
Key Club gives us the opportunity to support and care for those in our communities. You may be someone’s inspiration to take that next step or the support they need to find their own footing. This summer, as you travel to new places and experience amazing opportunities, please consider attending a service project and continuing to give back to those who support you each and every day. Some service opportunities you may want to take advantage of include volunteering at your nearest Ronald McDonald House Charities location to support our district project, helping at a local nature conservancy as part of Key Club International’s newest preferred charity partnership, or serving wherever your community needs support most.
To keep service close this summer, I encourage you to attend either Key Club Day North or Key Club Day South and actively participate in a community of people who are passionate about giving back.
In Love and Service,
Lawrence McConnell
District Governor
Pacific Northwest District

A Message From K-Fam
The following message is from the PNW Kiwanis-Family Relations Committee
If you or your club needs support with anything Kiwanis Family-related, we’d love to help! Please reach out to us at kfam@pnwkeyclub.org and check out our Linktree below.
The Kiwanis Family includes K-Kids (elementary school), Builders Club (middle school), Key Club (high school), Circle K (college), Aktion Club (adults with disabilities), and Kiwanis (adults). By working together, we can make an even greater impact in our communities.
Looking for ways to strengthen your Kiwanis Family? Consider sharing what you know with your club, inviting your local Kiwanis Club to serve alongside you at an event, attending a Kiwanis meeting, or connecting with nearby K-Kids and Builders Clubs. If your club isn’t sponsored by a Kiwanis Club, reach out to us or your Lieutenant Governor, and we’d be happy to help you connect with one.
Once you’re connected, consider planning a joint service project, such as a park cleanup, fundraiser, or community event, to serve together.
We hope to hear from you, and thank you for your time!
In Love and Service,
The Kiwanis-Family Relations Committee

Officer Training Conference Feedback Survey
Officers! Have you recently attended your division’s Officer Training Conference? If you have, please complete a quick survey about your experience at the conference. Your responses will help us improve Officer Training Conferences in future years!
Please note that this survey is only intended for officers who have attended an Officer Training Conference in May or June 2026.
Available District Leadership Opportunities
We are pleased to report that nearly all divisions are served by 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 do not currently have a 2026-2027 Lieutenant Governor:
- Division 9
- Division 20i
- Division 20m
- Division 22/24
- Division 42v
- Division 45
- Division 50
- Division 52
- Division 74
- Division 76
- Division 78
- Division 80
- Division 82
If you or anyone you know is from one of these divisions and is interested in serving as a Lieutenant Governor during the 2026-2027 service year, please contact me at governor@pnwkeyclub.org or District Administrator Angela Bruhl at angela@pnwkeyclub.org. Serving on the District Board is an incredible experience that provides opportunities to create change and develop as a leader.
