Builders Club Awards Night

3

We have two Presidents this year. One is Neidi Calvillo. Neidi is a junior at CHS and has been in Key Club since entering as a Freshman. Before that, she was an active member of the Washington School Builders Club. Neidi served as the club Vice President last year. She has a strong service record. In 2017-18, she volunteered for 138 hours of service!

Gonzalo is relatively new to our Key Club program, but since he joined in November of 2017, he has been a very strong member, with 43 hours of service in just a few short months! “One goal that we wish to accomplish is to put into effect a strong member recruitment program. This is because we would like our club to expand. We want to encourage more people to join and experience a love for service! Having more members would mean we would have more people to brainstorm, with more ideas for club projects and activities.�

By Grace Gloeckner and Sophia Witt Being a member of the Key Club Board is an honor, but it is also a huge responsibility. You are one of the Board members that the new members look up to. You must help encourage those new members to join meetings and to attend service events. As a Secretary you have a lot of responsibility, but it can be fun when you learn how to manage the work. It is an important obligation, and it requires a willingness to put regular effort into the club. During meetings secretaries take minutes of everything that is discussed. We have to make sure we catch all the important details. We also meet up with our club advisor to work on the Monthly Report Forms, (or MRFs). It can sometimes be stressful, because there are times when, for one reason or another, our Excel entries don’t work; and sometimes things you’ve typed get deleted. We’re still learning the process! And, our club is “judged” on what we put into this document, so it’s very important. But, when it is done we know that we are doing good things for our club. Keeping track of the member service records has taught us that all members need to try their hardest to make it to all, (or as many of the service events), that they can attend. I know that we serve an important role by keeping track of the service records for the members. So, we’ve shared a little about our job as Club Secretaries. But, most importantly we want to share this thought – we hope all of you will feel loyal to our club… and that means signing up for those service opportunities!

Officer of the Month

Anahi Ruiz was selected as Officer of the Month. She participated in almost all of our projects. To name a few, she did the “Elemonate Challenge�, made leis for veterans, went to Key Leader and assisted at the Builders Club activity. She also spent a lot of time creating thank you gifts for the 2017-18 Board members, which she presented at our club Awards Night.

By Alexis Sanchez The Awards Night was a family event, and included a pot luck. The members who were outstanding in certain fields were awarded, like helping with the Shine Days, graduating seniors, scholarship applicants, having high service records, helping with the Save the Rain project, and more! The DCON video that Miguel made was shown and enjoyed by all. Some awards were special, because they brought back memories of an activity. For example, the DCON attendees all received a framed picture of the group, one that was taken on the last day we were there. The members who helped with the Save the Rain project got commemorative water bottles. Parents who helped got mugs that said, “Best Dad/Mom�. It was fun to see everyone be called forward. Our students going on to ICON held a donation drawing. One of the last items on the agenda was the new Board members being installed. After that, our incoming Presidents, Neidi and Gonzalo, gave an inspiring speech about goals for next year.

By Gonzalo Perez On our Awards Night, most of our Key Club members got to gather to celebrate our achievements that we had accomplished throughout this past year.

Families and Kiwanis were there, too. We probably had about 100 people in attendance! The pot luck ensured that there was a LOT of great food! The evening went from everyone being happy, to even tears coming from some of the people.

It’s sometimes hard to let go of great memories, and Key Club offers a lot of those!

Our theme for this night was Hawaiian, and many people were all dressed up in Hawaiian-based clothes, having a good time. Everyone in our club got some recognition, and when they had their names called, people would be so happy for that person, and would applaud them with joy. Overall, our Awards Night was a time full of fun, pride in a job well-done, and excitement.

Builders Club Awards Night One highlight of the evening, for us, was when the Builders Club gave us a check for $840 towards the Save the Rain project!

Their Awards Night was lots of fun and the Builder’s Club members got recognition for all their efforts this past year.

Some of our members spoke about Key Club and helped recruit members for next year!

May Board Board Meeting

Meeting

Our May Board Meeting was very productive and we made many decisions on behalf of the club. We decided how much to spend on a club camera, approved the June calendar, and more. Our new advisors were there; and we met with them, as well as enjoyed some great pizza.

Christmas in June

By Paula Toledo | Cloverdale Key Club “Christmas in June” was an amazing event! It’s something that our community does every year to encourage people to donate to our local Food Pantry during what is usually an “off season” for getting the pantry stocked. The Food Pantry Board organizes it and our Kiwanis Club is always very involved.

Basically, people bring food items like canned goods as an “entry fee”. Then, everyone spends time making up packages of rice and beans, etc., (for distribution at the Pantry). When I first arrived, I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. A Kiwanis member took me in and showed me around. For the first hour, I spent the time organizing cans that were donated by the community. Later, I spent time filling bags of rice right alongside my Key Club advisor and other Kiwanis and concerned community members. At the end of the event, the lady who organizes it every year thanked everyone who showed up. I appreciate the opportunity to do a hands-on project like this. This one helped me feel like I really made a difference for the people in Cloverdale who need our Food Pantry to make it through each week.

12

We met at our Advisor Stephen’s house and made homemade pizzas that we cooked in his outdoor oven.

Then we spent 2 hours on business.

One of the more intense discussions centered around Paula’s calendar of fundraisers for next year.

Bake Auction at a June Kiwanis Meeting

By Neidi Calvillo On June 7th we held a bake auction at our Kiwanis meeting. It was a combination live auction and silent auction. Our ICON attendees and our advisors helped bring in items. We were only supposed to live auction the items made by the Key Clubbers. Since the items made by our advisors, (Sue, Clay and Stephen), were amazing, we live auctioned those, too. Each of Stephen’s carrot cakes were auctioned for $70! The Kiwanis were so generous that we were able to bring in $760! With this money, we were able to pay a huge portion of our registration fees for ICON! We had an amazing time, and we are so thankful for having our wonderful, supportive Kiwanis!

ICON Here We Come We have four members going to the International Convention in Chicago on July 4th-10th. They have been madly fundraising for the past six weeks. One of the ways they are raising money to pay for their trip is to sell See’s candy. As we get closer to the deadline for their final payment, they are even more determined to encourage that “sweet tooth” in everyone they see! We wish Gaby Gaona, Neidi Calvillo, Anahi Ruiz and Gonzalo Perez a fabulous trip; and we are excited for all the new ideas they will bring back to the club for use next year!

Scrapbook Plans

By Alexis Sanchez This year’s scrapbook is going to be Disneythemed. Each page is going to feature a Disney movie. The pages will have pictures and features related to the movie. For example: Moana could be the theme of a page on a car wash or maybe Save the Rain. I am excited about being the Scrapbook Editor for the club this year, and plan to work hard to put together something we will all love!

22

Executive Assistants Needed!

By Alex Visconti Executive Assistants are Key Clubbers on the Board who help out with certain things and attend events as well as help with projects that the Board wants to do. Not yet being an officer, they learn everything about being an officer for next year, and they are encouraged to run. This is a step up from being a member in Key Club; and it’s a great learning experience! Leadership skills are definitely something that Key Clubbers will learn through being an Executive Assistant. We encourage anyone who’s not an officer to become an Executive Assistant! Applications are available. Just text either Neidi, Gonzalo or Sue to let them know you are interested, and we’ll see you get one.

Fundraising for PTP In July PTP stands for Pediatric Trauma Program.

This is a program that supplies doctors and others with the needed equipment.

WHY? We should fundraise for the benefit and health of children. Money raised goes to helping not only the training of the doctors, nurses, and first responders, but it will help supply them with all of the needed equipment.

We will be fundraising for this cause July 2nd and July 7th & July 9th at Ray’s.

Times are to be arranged at member convenience.

A Fundraiser for the Eliminate Project • Friday, July 13th • In front of Ray’s Food Place • Members can choose a 2-hour shift • Sign-up at the club meeting on June 25th or sign-up on our website
