Now that the school year is starting up it is the perfect time to focus on achieving your goals and welcome your members, new and old, into the club! Make sure to make the absolute most out of your club rush season, recruit new members, hold informational meetings, and host training sessions such as Key Club 101s for new members to allow them to learn more about Key Club and what your club expects of them! Some other things you can do to introduce your members back into the school year is host a social to welcome everyone back and introduce new members to the club! I know we’ll do great this term and I can’t wait to see it!
As for some updates for the Big Island, some of the projects hosted by the clubs include Relay for Life where Hilo, Keaau, and Waiakea all assisted in running the event! Hilo and Keaau ran the luminary table and when the time came at the end of the night club, members helped light up all the luminaries, making a beautiful display of lights to encourage those still fighting cancer or who survived and remember those who passed. Waiakea also assisted Relay for Life by helping run the East Hawaii Kiwanis booth, selling baked goods, jewelry, and running a new officers, with Keith Cadalzo stepping up to the role of president and Avalon Loudon stepping up to the position of secretary. Congratulations to both of you and I know you’ll do great work this term! With that
said, that concludes my updates for the Big Island.
Welcome to the third edition of this volume’s Makai Messenger! I sincerely hope that you’ve all enjoyed your summer, which I believe to have flown by extraordinarily fast. But guess what… school’s back! Not only does this mean a resurgence of service projects across all clubs in the division, but also clubrush!
Now is the best opportunity to convince both friends and newcomers in your school to give Key Club a chance; it’s an amazing experience with so many things to offer, and they’ll never know whether they’ll truly love it if they don’t try! As per usual, I encourage current members to make hours, submit articles & visuals, and settle down this August as you read this sunlit,
you all later,

In the heart of Kauai, the local Key Clubs are making waves with their dedication to community service and leadership development. We are committed to making a difference in their community but also to honing their leadership skills and fostering personal development.
For the past few months, the Kauai Key Club has been planning and executing impactful community service projects. From the Kauai High School Fee Payments and Classroom Clean-Ups, to the upcoming events with kids from Suo-Oshima & Ishigaki, these projects are designed to address the pressing needs of both the school and community, while also providing members with valuable hands-on experience in organizing and leading initiatives.
Over at Kapaa High School, they have been busy starting a supplies drive to signal the beginning of a new school year, as well as making posters and pins for club rush. The club’s commitment to service is evident in the positive changes they bring about in our community.

Rock Wall Restoration took place on July 29, 2024 at Ko'ie'ie Fishpond. At this project, attendees learned about the history and cultural significance of a rock wall in our fishponds. They were educated by a cultural instructor, with her team also teaching them how to carry and place the rocks from the ground to the wall properly. During the project, they had to splitupintoteamsof4tocreateazig-zagpatterntomakethe
