I hope finals season has been generous to all of you and as we go into the holiday season take some time to unwind and relax as we head into 2025! Also, be sure to reflect on this year of service and focus on your goals as we head into the latter half of the term!
Some of the past projects on the Big Island include East Hawaii’s Salvation Army Bell Ringing project where both Hilo & Waiakea Key Clubs alongside the East Hawaii Kiwanians, Builders Clubs, and K-Kids rang bells for Salvation Army and made well over $1000! Meanwhile, Keaau Key Club participated in the Keaau Christmas Lights Parade where they marched alongside their school! Now across the island with Kealakehe Key Club they participated in the Waikoloa Keiki Christmas Parade.
As we finish off this year I’d like to say I’d like to thank all of you for your incredible amount of hard work and dedication as we go through this term! We’ve made amazing progress with our goals and this is all due to your hard work! Remember,
Welcome to the sixth edition of this volume’s Makai Messenger! I can’t be the only one to be dumbfounded by how fast 2024 flew by (much like a busy little bee, haha…)! Now that we’re delving deep into the holiday festivities of December—and have the first semester of our school year behind us, thank GOODNESS—now’s the greatest time to participate in whatever service projects your clubs have to offer you!
As you read this month’s Peanuts-themed issue, continue to keep in mind the importance of submitting articles & visuals so we can start next year strong with stories to tell! Continue to make your hours and contribute to our division and district goals! Most importantly, continue to maintain a balance between Key Club and your personal life; the last thing I want you readers to do is burn out over the break. Let’s end this year with a bang, everybody! SEA you all later,
As we approach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to reflect on all the hard work and dedication from our members!

At Maui High, we’ve been busy as well! We’ve participated in Feed My Sheep, Fourth Maui Humane Society. We’ve got more events lined up, including Fourth Friday, Feed My Sheep Volunteering, Salvation Army and thank you all for your hard work and dedication throughout the year.

Happy holidays, Division 22 Makai! With us approaching the end of the year, it’s time to showcase the events each club on Kauai held this December!
On December 8th, all three Kauai Key Clubs hosted a celebration in the form of an inter-club bowling tournament with Kiwanis following the DCM. At the end of the competition, Waimea High ended up scoring the most points. Congratulations Waimea High on your win!
Along with this social, each club has been working hard at events to get into the holiday season. Kauai, Kapaa, and Waimea all participated in the Lights on Rice Parade on December 6th, waving lights, posters, and giving away candy throughout the night. Additionally, Waimea Key Club helped out at the Waimea Lights Parade with the County of Kauai on December 21st! Kapaa Key Club also had their fair share of service projects, selling at sports ticket booths and more!
As for Kauai High School, Key Clubbers participated in the Festival of Lights showcase at Kukui Grove, where they encouraged shoppers to look at beautiful trees and decorations solely made of recycled material. Members also hosted Gift Wrapping at the same mall, aiding people in wrapping last minute presents.
We are excited to finish off the year by making a difference in our community. There’s still plenty of opportunities to get involved, so let’s do that as we enjoy the rest of 2024!!
