My name is Malakai Keawe-Correa and I’m serving as your Lieutenant Governor for this 2024-2025 term! If you don’t know, here's a brief introduction. My home club is Hilo High School where I served as Secretary last year. I love to run, live to eat, and enjoy debate occasionally. This term is already moving super fast and we’ve already made it to the third month of this new term. I'm super excited for everyone to progress and grow throughout the term!
As we get into this term I’d like to say that in order to succeed we’re going to need YOUR HELP! Everyone can help in a unique way whether that be getting out to service projects and getting hours, recruiting your friends who are interested in Key Club, or planning club events. Everything you do matters and helps the division greatly so get out there and do your best! Thank you for reading this issue of the Makai Messenger and if you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Aloha Makai! This is Maui’s Division Assistant, Raven Bugtong, popping by to let you all in on some of Maui’s haps! In Maui, we have Baldwin, King Kekaulike, and Maui High School continuing their service to the community by promoting charitable organizations, local areas, and a healthylifestyle.
Baldwin and Maui High Key Club are planning fundraisers that'll be held throughout July, like a carwash with a local partner, to fund future region and district events. Maui High is also offering beach clean-ups where volunteers would pick up any objects at different points thatcouldharmtheenvironment.KingKekaulike will help out at a rummage sale at Kahului Elementary School, beautifying their campus to maintain an attractive learning environment for students.
Forthosewhoareunabletomakeittoin-person projects, the 3 clubs are offering online options with the Free Rice organization, where they answer questions that trigger financial payments to the World Food Programme. Poster-making to promote health and safety is another option that’sprovidedforthoseonline.

attended a Book Sale event hosted at Lihue Public Library. At this librarian staff assigned us the task to organize books, put them in appropriate order, and help assist customers. As time went on, so did the the wide variety of books and buyers. Our efforts were soon split up groups assigned with different jobs: the group staying back with the another group to help put away books inside the library; and my we assembled a mini train for the kids to enjoy. It was definitely a experience for me, especially with how surprisingly difficult assembling be despite our group of 4. The kindness of the librarians and the atmosphere really made myself feel like an elementary student again. It worthparticipatinginandIhopetoexperiencemoreinthefuture.

This past month, Waiakea High Key Club helped the Waiakea High Staff. At the project, members helped set up tables and brought food to give to the staff. During clean-up members collected rubbish and broke down tables. Some members then went around to make sure everyone got some breakfast. The project was very exciting since we had been able to give our staff a good breakfast for all the hard work they’ve done forusstudents!
Kaylen Pali | King Kekaulike Key Club
The Key Club at King Kekaulike had their end-of-year social with Maui High School and Baldwin High School. They had so much fun interacting with other clubs because despite living on the same island, they don't interact as much due to distance. They loved recognizingMs.Cathysinceshedoesso much for their club and often gets no recognition. They all dressed up in aloha wear and did many activities like musical chairs and charades. Then the president of each club gave certificates to each member. They had so much fun interacting with other peers from different schools and also took many pictures in a photo booth to keep. This project was an example of unity and how important acceptance is because if all three of the schools were just in their little circle, they wouldn't have the friends they made along the way.
