In-person Informational Workshop
3 attendees + 1 advisor
Maya Kornyeyeva
Senior The Informational workshop was a great way to kick off the second quarter, and allow members and officers to learn a little more about the transition into in-person service events, which our division hasn’t had since the start of the pandemic. During the workshop, Courtney Tai (our LTG) gave a presentation about the specific guidelines that in-person events will have, as well as some information about big upcoming conventions and training sessions that will be held in-person. Additionally, she engaged all the key clubbers in a mini-lesson about our division’s spirit chants, which are a large part of fundraising events such as FRN (Fall Rally North). Overall, the workshop gave members a good idea about what to expect from this term.
The Last Online DCM!
Grace Kimberg
Junior At the July DCM, we were split into two teams to make joke books and play jeopardy. For one of the rotations we made joke books out of index cards for Soaring Words, an organization that aims to cheer up children through good deeds. During the other rotation, participants played a fun game of jeopardy. The categories spanned from pop culture, to Key Club, to our Lieutenant Governor, Courtney Tai! At the event, all of the schools got sorted into their Harry Potter Houses for the Key Cup! Overall, the event was really fun and I can’t wait for the August DCM!
July DCM
Sparks Flashcards

Junior SPARKS Flashcards was a division-wide service event hosted by South City Key Club. We made a variety of educational flashcards such as sets for numbers, alphabet, months, animals, or anything else that is easy to learn. I made flashcards for colors and shapes and it was simple to make as all we needed were cardstock and markers. The flashcards were sent to Classroom Central, an organization that provides free materials to students in need of school supplies, so I’m sure that children will benefit from the flashcards. I really enjoyed this event since I’ve always loved creating physical sets of flashcards for all sorts of purposes. I’m glad that we could provide these materials that will help children to learn the basics and be successful at school!

Junior From the first time I heard about this event, I knew I wanted to participate in it. Making the flashcards was a great experience since there were many different kinds to choose from. Each set was satisfying to create because I was able to finish one after the other. I very much enjoyed this event. It was probably one of my favorite ones since the transition to Zoom and online service activities.
Division-Wide Service Event

Hope 8 attendees + 1 advisor for 12 hrs division event
Swaraali Save
Junior At the Cards for Hope service event on July 22nd, we made mini cards to include in Hope Kits, which are packages that contain sanitary items for children in need. The event was held over Zoom, and the main materials required were paper and drawing utensils. Each of the cards we created had a friendly note inside and was decorated with a colorful drawing, allowing everyone to display their creativity. The notes wished the recipients all the best for the school year ahead and aimed to brighten their mood. It was nice knowing our messages could help cheer up these children after the challenges many of them must have faced over the course of the last year. I’m glad we had the opportunity to bring some excitement and encouragement to them through these simple cards!
