can’t believe August has already flown by, and we are now in September! I hope everyone had an amazing first week at school and is slowly getting back into that school routine (as it pains me to say). Anyways, I am here today with another newsletter! Not a lot has changed this month because I didn’t feel like anything needed to be! However, I hope you guys still enjoy. Look out for next month’s newsletter because I’m alreay planning some new things. Just because the school year starts, it doesn’t mean KIWIN’S stops. KIWIN’S NEVER STOPS. I hope to see everyone at all of our exciting upcoming events: Club Rush, first general meeting of the school year, and our first social! Without further ado, here is the newsletter! Catch you guys at school <3 Love,
Cecilia Nguyen

On Saturday, August 5 from 2:30 pm-8 pm, Fountain Valley KIWIN’S gathered at Miles Square Park for the annual Great Campout. One of the most favorited events of the summer, members were able to help out with archery and campout games. Members were taught how to use the bow and arrows by members from the UCI archery team and after that, they were able to help kids and adults shoot arrows.
pins 4 kids
Strrrike! On August 5, 2017, Fountain Valley KIWIN’S volunteered for Pins 4 Kids at Fountain Bowl. Volunteers helped Kiwanis with selling raffle tickets and setting up tables that held all the t-shirts. Money made from the t-shirts and raffle tickets went to Pins 4 Kids. Our volunteers also had a chance to go bowling for the prgram due to absence of some bowlers! The members had fun helping Fountain Valley Kiwanis with their biggest fundraiser of the year.

School is about to start, which means one thing: Club Rush! To start preparing for Club Rush, Fountain Valley KIWIN’S gathered at Los Alamos park at 3:30 pm to make posters to attract potential members.
