Marjorie Lamban - Region 7 Training Conference
“On Saturday, September 27, was the Region 7 Training Conference, or RTC. At first I was very hesitant to go because I felt like I wouldn’t know anyone, but I decided to be brave and go anyways. It was better than I expected. There were lots of key clubbers, epic spirit battles, and different workshops that teach you all about Key Club. There was a lot of workshops we were able to go to. It was like school, but with much more spirit. There was one workshop in particular that really inspired me, which was, How to BEE a leader. They talked about their personal experiences with bullying or insecurities, and it related to not just me, but a lot of us in the room. Also, I was pretty surprised how brave people were to also talk about their personal experiences with people they don’t know. The presenters had very inspirational speeches and advices that taught us to be able to stand up for ourselves and that no one should care what people think because what you think about yourself is all that matters. Overall, it was very fun and a very productive event. I got to meet new friends, learn more about key club, and have an idea on who I would like to become in the future.”

Ruben Anguiano - Region 7 Training Conference
“RTC!! My first Region Training Conference was awesome! It was a great experience not only because I had tons of fun meeting new people, but also because I learned many new things about Key Club. We registered and soon after our whole region was asked "Region 7, how do you feel?”, and you know what happens after! We had various workshops that will help our board members and our club as a whole. I learned ways to better improve my duty as our club treasurer and as a Key Clubber in general. I had a general understanding of what Key Club was about, but at RTC I learned how important Key Club and its members were locally and internationally. RTC was also a constant day of cheering! At one point the divisions began a spirit battle, which sadly i lost part of my voice in. Then we attended another workshop were we learned more about "PTP," "Eliminate," and the "Thirst Project." I learned how much of an impact one individual can have on our world! And After this general session we had our DCM where we gathered up and talked about our Club Events as a Division! And we happily concluded the day taking a picture as one huge Region 7 Family! I would be glad to attend next year's RTC because it was a great and enlightening experience! I would highly suggest any Key Clubber to attend RTC! It is an event you will never forget!”

Member of the Month: Marjorie Lamban
For the month of September, our Thunderpup is no other than Marjorie Lamban! She is currently a junior and is so excited for this year! Marjorie is a very active member, and loves helping others. Joining Key Club will open up new opportunities for her to know her community and be helpful to others. She is always eager to volunteer, and has a lot of enthusiasm in our meetings. Her personality makes the meetings brighter. For this month, she has attended our Region 7 Training Conference. At the conference she was seen as being very attentive to all the presentations. She wants to become a better member for the club and learning all the values and of the club will help her. Seeing all the other members of the club and cheering made her proud to be in the club. If she thought RTC was exciting, she’ll have the time of her life with the upcoming events!

Officer of the Month: Ruben Anguiano
Our officer of the month for September is our treasurer Ruben Anguiano! Ruben is currently a sophomore and helping others is one of the few things he loves doing most. He is very self-motivated and is actively contributing great ideas for the club to help us with fundraising! For the month of September, he held our first Horchata Fundraiser. We have fundraised about 60 dollars that day that will go to support PTP. He also attended our Region 7 Training Conference. After attending the conference his knowledge has expanded on how to excel as an officer of the club. Ruben is very responsible and he will strive in the club. Although he can be a little shy, being in the club will open him up. He will continue to brainstorm different ideas for our club and show his dedication to Key Club until the day he dies.
