LTG INTRODUCTION Hello Crystal! My name is Alexandra Aladham and I am honored to be serving you as your 2019-2020 Crystal Lieutenant Governor. I am currently an incoming senior at Palisades Charter High School and have been serving in this amazing organization for the past three years. Just like many of you, I remember walking into my first KIWIN’S meeting as a small, lost Freshman thinking, “What am I doing here?” I had no idea what to expect, but I decided to stay. Thank goodness I did. Soon enough, I realized KIWIN’S is more than just any other club. KIWIN’S is an Ohana. An Ohana filled with students that share my same passion for serving my community. KIWIN’S is a place I knew I could call home. And, ever since, I’ve spent every Tuesday at a club meeting and almost every weekend attending a KIWIN’S event. I’ve met new friends, learned new lessons, and made unforgettable memories. As your LTG, I want to ensure that every member is able to experience this same joy and love that CNH KIWIN’S has to offer.
Alexandra Aladham
Crystal Lieutenant Governor
Although the term has only just begun, I know we will bring Crystal Division to new heights this year and I am extremely excited to be serving you as your new LTG! Let’s make this year one for the books!
Yours in Service,
Alexandra Alexandra Aladham Crystal Lieutenant Governor 2019-2020

MEET SARAH, OUR 2019-20 PRESIDENT
@bravokiwins2018
“Hi! My name is Sarah Ruangkittikul and I’m an incoming senior. I’m a type of person who likes to get lost in my thoughts when I am focused on a particular task. I like sushi, like most Thai people out there. I also like spending my hard earned money on concerts, which I don’t regret buying after I go to it. I have an awkward personality, which situates me into many awkward moments with people. I am quite different from what people think I am. To destress, I like to practice martial arts, more particularly, Aikido. Fun fact: I am ethnically more Chinese but I identify as Thai-Chinese (I can’t speak Chinese however hehe).” — Sarah Ruangkittikul, BRAVO KIWIN’S President

FAIRFAX Enkhjin Gansukh President Ashley Chang Vice President Grace Kim Secretary Dana Lee Treasurer Eulmin Park Historian
MEET ENKHJIN, OUR 2019-20 PRESIDENT “Hello Everyone! My name is Enkhjin Gansukh and I am an upcoming Junior at Fairfax High School. I can’t wait to serve as the president this next term alongside my amazing board and members. What motivated me to take on this role was the new relationships and opportunities that KIWIN’S has given to me, and I hope to pass these opportunities on to more people. I never expected myself to enjoy screaming at the top of my lungs at events to win a Spirit Stick, staying up late to make posters, or putting myself out there to meet new people, but now I love it! I’ve been in KIWIN’S for two years now and I hope to make my third year better than ever!” — Enkhjin Gansukh, Fairfax KIWIN’S President

“Hi, my name’s Irene Pyo, and I will be the President for LACES KIWIN’S for the 2019-2020 term. As a Senior, it’s my last year, so hopefully, I don’t break. I enjoy reading, whether it be Manga or plain ol’ books and I listen to Korean R&B/Rap (and Pop too). I love vines and memes, and I get sucked into Instagram discover for hours. I enjoy drawing (though I’m not that good at it) and yea, nice to meet ya’ll :))” — Irene Pyo, LACES KIWIN’S President

DCON RECAP
DCON 2019
April 5 - 7
- Woodland Hills Warner Marriott Center “From a person that attended DCON for the first time, my experience was amazing! It was so cool seeing people from other divisions and hearing all the spirit they had through their chants. There was also a talent show and dance that was an unforgettable experience. Through all the fun, there were many things I learned from going to DCON that I never knew before, like how a famous Youtuber was once a kid in KIWIN’S! I was also really impressed by students, my same age, doing big things in their positions in KIWIN’S. In conclusion, DCON was a blast and I can’t wait for it next year!” — Kelly Bussabong, LACES KIWIN’S Historian

APRIL 2019 DCM “My first DCM as an official member of CNH KIWIN’S was awesome! I got to meet new people from other schools, as well as play fun games, such as soulmate and four corners. We even worked as a team to break free from a ‘human knot.’ However, the meeting wasn’t just all fun and games. We got to know who is now running our division and how she plans to serve us. In the end, we got to make cool cards for kids in hospitals, which personally, I think was the best part. Overall, my first DCM was a blast and I couldn’t ask for anything better!” — Bellabeni Vasquez, PCHS KIWIN’S Member

MINA’S FAREWELL Hey Crystal!
Mina Choi
2018-2019 Crystal Lieutenant Governor
If you didn’t already know, my name is Mina Choi and I served as your Crystal Lieutenant Governor for the 2018-2019 term! This past term was filled with a whirlwind of all sorts of emotions and fun and I’m so glad I was able to spend my time with all of you! You guys have made me love this organization so much and I am endlessly grateful for all the support you have given me. I was able to gain experience and learn so much, not only from the club in it of itself, but from each and every one of you. I am forever indebted to CNH KIWIN’S. I learned to cherish all the memories I was able to make and I’m glad that I learned this early on. Each and every experience, good or bad, has made me into the person I am today and I am extremely blessed to be where I am at right now. I hope that this next term will allow all of you to find yourself in a life built on service and friendship, just as I have. Take charge of every opportunity that is put in front of you and make it into the best you can. This organization has so much more to offer than any of you might realize and I hope you all come to understand that. Thank you Crystal for the best term I could’ve ever asked for. I love you all so much!
Yours in Spirit and Service,
Mina 12
