2011-2012 Meet Raegnar Bartolo President of our new Club in-formation
“ Who are you? I’m Raegnar (Rain) Bartolo, a junior at Wil-
son High School. I moved from Torrance, California earlier
this year and I as a part of the Narbonne Key Club of Division
-19 South of CNH( Cali-Nev-Ha) District. When I moved to
Portland I expected to see a Key Club, but to my surprise
there wasn't.
How did you start the process?
Before I moved here I talked to a good friend of mine,
Joyce Cho, my great mentor who is now the President of my
old club. She mentioned that every Key Club must have a
Kiwanis sponsor. After researching to find a Kiwanis Club in
Portland, I had a hard time. But writing this now obviously proves that I was wrong.
When I discovered the Facebook page of the Kiwanis Club of Portland, I immedi-
ately looked for the albums and I saw the KEY CLUB PICTURES! I then Google it and
found the Division 62 Key Club website. I found Giovanni McKenzie’s contact informa-
tion and sent an e-mail right away! Giovanni told me what I needed to know, step by
step. Answered my questions, dealt with my confusion and encouraged me more. I
saw in him his passion and dedication for his division. Happy and relieved that I have
someone to help me throughout the way!
What’s happening now?
Giovanni, Jim McAllister (our Area Administrator) and I are working
to complete the chartering process to make us an official club.
I’ve already recruited 17 potential members and wish to expand
our membership over the two months. Our acting board will have
its meetings on the first and last Thursdays of each month to organ-
ize meetings and write a progress report of the club. For service
hours, I’ve already managed to come up with 13 activities inside
and outside of school, assuming 5 of them will be in a regular basis.
For fundraisers, we have 3 ideas and still pending.

2011 DISTRICT PROJECT: KIWANIS CHILDREN CANCER PROGRAM
The Kiwanis Children Cancer Program was founded
by Governor Frank Morehouse of the Pacific North-
west District of Kiwanis International in 2010. Kiwanis
Governor Frank’s inspiration was a young cancer pa-
tient named Penny. Governor Frank worked at the
hospital where Penny stayed. Penny was diagnosed
with a brain tumor and would require surgery and ra-
diation therapy. Penny would visit Governor Frank
during her hospital stays and talk about what was
happening to her. Penny eventually lost her battle
with cancer. The KCCP is dedicated to Penny’s
memory.
The new Pacific Northwest Key Club District Governor,
Varun Awasthi saw the need for this project. Our Gov-
ernor made it his duty to ensure that Key Clubbers
across our district knew more about children’s can-
cer, and make our contribution to curing cancer.
How can you help?
The two greatest contributions you could make is to:
Help us educate
Help us fundraise
Sell KCCP Wristbands! (see page )
ABOUT THE PROJECT

2011-2012 The ELIMINATE PROJECT eliminating neonatal & maternal tetanus
WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE A BABY’S LIFE? There are few events more joyful than the day a new baby is
welcomed to the world. But in 38 countries, a dreaded dis-
ease quickly turns that joy into tragedy.
Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every
nine minutes — that's 60,000 babies every year who will never
grow up, make their mothers laugh, play with friends or dream
about the future. The effects of the disease are excruciating
— tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and ex-
treme sensitivity to light and touch. A significant number of
women die from MNT each year too.
$2 = Protection for mother
+ future babies
$1.80 (roughly) = 3 doses of tetanus vaccine
