“ICON was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I've made friends from all over the country, some that I even plan on visiting eventually. I highly recommend anyone to go if they can. It's only five days but it'll feel like a month!”

2

"ICON was so unforgettable seeing people from other districts, exploring the River City of San Antonio, and getting to spend/celebrate with my favorite Key Clubbers (CNH KIWIN'S). Please go next year to experience an unforgettable event that you will cherish throughout the rest of your life!”

3

“I remember being really nervous the night before my flight left to San Antonio. I wasn't really sure what I'd gotten myself into. The thought that I would be a club officer at an international event really intimidated me. The next morning, I was still slightly nervous but I remember the excitement that filled me once I got to the airport and met my travel buddies. From that moment on, the ICON experience had started. I recall playing games while we waited to board our plane and even wearing face masks on the plane (which sort of frightened the other passengers by the way).

Arriving at our hotel, I remember registering then having several fellow Key Clubbers from other districts approach me and ask me to trade pins. If only I knew beforehand how crazy intense pin trading is. We had opening session later that day which had me in awe, the stage and the energy of everyone around me was so electric. Fast forward to my very first workshop, I was a bit anxious flipping through the program afraid I might not have many options being a club officer, but to my surprise there was a multitude of options for everyone, not only district and club officers but members as well. Over the next few days, we would go on to listen to many candidates running for international office and eventually take part in electing them. This provided me with one of my favorite ICON moments. Our very own IP District Bulletin Editor was elected to become an international trustee. I remember how loud our district cheered when we heard her name called, and this moment was truly special. The knowledge I would gain over these five days was invaluable and I'm extremely grateful that I decided to attend ICON. I learned about how to serve others better but I also learned a lot about myself. Traveling with friends, attending workshops, eating Denny's at midnight, trading pins and building lifetime bonds with your district and others you meet are all culminating parts of the ICON experience. I believe everyone, no matter at what level they serve our organization, can benefit from attending International Convention, like I did.”

“”

I ALWAYS THOUGHT CNH KIWIN'S WAS ANOTHER ASIAN STUDENT ALLIANCE, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. THESE PEOPLE HAVE REALLY GROWN TO BECOME A SECOND FAMILY TO ME (CLICHE BUT IT'S TRUE). EVER SINCE I JOINED KIWIN'S, I HAVE MET SO MANY AMAZING AND CARING PEOPLE. SEEING THEIR ENTHUSIASM FOR SERVICE REALLY INFLUENCED ME TO GROW NOT ONLY AS A MEMBER BUT ALSO AS A PERSON OUTSIDE OF THE CLUB. I WAS ALWAYS THE KID WHO "FOLLOWED" THE CROWD AND SIMPLY WENT THROUGH THE BASIC MOTIONS OF THINGS, BUT I'VE BECOME A LEADER BECAUSE OF MY PARTICIPATION IN KIWIN'S. MY ONLY REGRET: NOT JOINING KIWIN'S EARLIER. ♥ MUCH LOVE TO MY CRYSTAL CUTIES ♥

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!

WE ALSO ASSISTED AT THE RELAY FOR LIFE TRACK MEET AT RIO MESA HIGH SCHOOL ON JULY 16TH. OUR FIRST GENERAL MEETING OF THE SUMMER WAS HELD ON JULY 21ST, SUMMER UPDATES AND SCHEDULES WERE DISTRIBUTED TO MEMBERS, AND OFFICERS WHO MADE IT ONTO DISTRICT COMMITTEES WERE RECOGNIZED AS WELL, ALL WHILE WE HIKED ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL MISSION OAKS COMMUNITY PARK TRAIL. THE FOLLOWING DAY, MEMBERS VOLUNTEERED TO HELP DOGS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES AT THE L.I.F.E ANIMAL RESCUE PET ADOPTION AT THE WESTLAKE PETSMART. ON JULY 25TH, 3 BOARD MEMBERS ATTENDED A SHOP AHOY EVENT AS A TEST TRIAL, IN WHICH THEY WENT GROCERY SHOPPING FOR THE ELDERLY AT THE MISSION OAKS VONS. THE LAST SERVICE EVENTS WE HELD WERE ON JULY 27TH AND 30TH IN WHICH WE ASSISTED AT THE TASTE OF CAMARILLO EVENT.

FEATURED TREASURER ’S REPORT ARTICLE

“ROLLING INTO SUMMER W/ FV” ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, FV KIWIN’S HOSTED A ROLLER SKATING FUNDRAISER AT THE HUNTINGTON INLINE SKATE CENTER TO CELEBRATE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND TO START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH A BLAST! WHEN I BOOKED THE EVENT ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, I THOUGHT THE TURNOUT WOULD BE PRETTY BIG HOWEVER, AT THE TIME, I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SENIOR GRAD NIGHT WAS AT THE SAME TIME I HAD BOOKED THE FUNDRAISER SO ALL OF THE SENIORS WEREN’T ABLE TO GO; HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THE SENIORS WENT WE STILL HAD A GREAT TURNOUT, RAISING $365 FROM THE FUNDRAISER! THE RINK SOLD US TICKETS FOR $5 EACH AND WE SOLD TICKETS FOR $10 PRESALE BUT, WE DIDN’T SELL ANY TICKETS AT-THE-DOOR BECAUSE THE MANAGER WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO. FOR EACH TICKET THAT WAS COLLECTED AT THE FRONT DESK, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $5 SO THAT MEANT THAT WE GOT 50% OF THE TOTAL SALES BACK. HOWEVER, AFTER I SPOKE TO THE MANAGER OF THE RINK ABOUT

OUR CLUB AND PTP, HE WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO ALLOW SOME PEOPLE TO GET IN FOR FREE WHICH ALLOWED FOR US TO EXCEED OUR GOAL OF $200 AND PROFIT $365 FROM THE FUNDRAISER. SOME PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT TICKETS ALSO DIDN’T

SHOW UP SO THAT ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO US EXCEEDING OUR GOAL. THIS FUNDRAISER WAS MY FIRST VERY BIG FUNDRAISER SO I WAS PRETTY NERVOUS AND ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW IT WOULD TURN OUT BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICTING EVENTS THAT INTERFERED WITH THE FUNDRAISER BUT NONETHELESS, THE FUNDRAISER WAS REALLY SUCCESSFUL!

Helping out was so fun, it was just a wonderful day to see people smile with the service we performed

said Alex Santillan, a member of Making Waves KIWIN'S

On Father's Day, June 18th, the Making Waves KIWIN's helped staff members from the SS Red Oak Victory, serve food and clean tables. Some members prepared and cooked food, while others tidied up the eating area and helped with request from families. In all the event was refreshing, even for a hot day.
