Hello Kiwis! Happy New Years! I hope you all are having a wonderful break. I hope it’s been relaxing for everyone! Since this is a new year, I hope you are all setting goals and are more determined than ever. We had a busy December, and now, elections are right around the corner! Make sure you do everything in your ability to prepare and make sure things run smoothly, whether you’re an advisor, member, officer, or candidate. I’m very excited to see who will be our Kiwi Leaders next year! Speaking of which, don’t forget to come to conclave. It will be an enriching experience and might even inspire you to run or apply for something! We’re nearing the end of our terms, and furthermore, we’re getting closer and closer to our goals! Make sure to do everything you can... It’s the final push. I have faith in you, Kiwis! You never cease to amaze me. I’ll see you soon! Deed of Kindness: Send someone a care package or a thank you/thinking of you card. It’s always nice to care about people and know that you’re cared about. Have fun with it — it can be anything from origami to buttons to chocolate. Be creative!
Flying with Service,
Division 2 Lieutenant Governor

Ice Skating DCM By Danica Liang, Alameda

On Friday, December 6th, Kiwis, Red Devils, and Blue Devils were invited to the annual ―Ice Sk8 to Elimin8‖ event. It was a fun social, the perfect way to start the upcoming weekend. As Key Clubbers started arriving, I helped out with Key Clubbers checking in. I passed out DCM agendas to Kiwis as they waited in line. Even though it was freezing (My toes were numb!), it was nice to stand outside and be able to greet Key Clubbers and socialize with them. Division 2 was the first division to meet up for its DCM. The meeting went well and it was especially exciting because a newly-chartered club, American Indian, was present and we got to welcome them to our ohana! Even though I am terrible at ice skating, it was still a very enjoyable experience. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun. :)

Castro Valley
By Francisco Aguilera , Castro Valley On an early December morning, Key Clubbers from all over the division came together to serve at the Dunsmuir Annual Holiday Tradition. The Dunsmuir estate is a huge 50 acre historical estate featuring many antique buildings and a beautiful white mansion. Every year, they host a holiday tradition filled with great food, fun games and even horse carriage rides. This year, Dunsmuir also incorporated a kids’ zone into the park. This was a place filled with arts and crafts, games and a small patting zoo just for kids. But before any of the fun could happen, Key Clubbers had to help set up the kids’ zone beforehand. This included setting up tables, getting the games ready and wiping all the water off wet surfaces. We finished just in time – as the last arts and craft table was being set up, joyful children with huge smiles on their faces came running towards the tent. All the key Clubbers went to their assigned stations to help. Some managed the carnival games while others helped out at the arts and craft tables. Some Key Clubbers even got to be docents inside the mansion. They had to dress up in early 1900s attire and show people around the mansion. Not only was this a great learning experience, but it was also lots of fun. Overall, this event was a huge success and we put lots of smiles on children’s faces. This is definitely one of my favorite events during the holiday season and I hope to see it grow in the future.

City of Oakland’s Holiday Dinner By Breana Wong, Arroyo On December 23rd, a lively dinner filled with music and festive meals took place at the Marriott Convention Center. Volunteers throughout Division 2 joined in to serve the guests in need for the holidays, making the dinner very successful! Many guests attended while volunteers served fruit punch, pumpkin pie, salads, and a Christmas meal. The event was not only towards a good cause, but it was also fun -- working while rocking out to live concerts! To end the service, Key Clubbers joined in on the happiness and even shared a meal with out guests.

K-FAMILY FEATURE
Kiwanis International is an international service club founded in 1915. To reach out to more people and make a greater impact on local communities, Kiwanis International has formed a family of servant leaders including K-Kids for elementary school children and Key Clubs for high school students. On January 21st of 2014, Kiwanis International will be celebrating their 99th anniversary!
A Brief History Founded in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan, the club focused on business networking, but by 1919, they changed their focus to service. In the 1960s, the organization became international with Kiwanians representatives in 11 European nations. In 1987, women were officially allowed to join.
Statistics 
17
Each year, Kiwanis clubs sponsor almost 150,000 service projects, raise more than $100 million and devote more than 6 million hours to service.

There are more than 80 nations and geographic areas involved with Kiwanis International.
K-FAMILY FEATURE
Q&A with Victor Chan Kiwanian Victor Chan has been with the Kiwanis Family for a long time. He has been involved with Key Club as a high school student at Skyline, Circle K as a student attending Sacramento State University, and is currently involved with Kiwanis. He has played a vital role in Division 2. (He was even part of this division when he was in Key Club!) He is the Kiwanian advisor for Oakland High, Skyline, and American Indian. This year, he serves as the Region Advisor Assistant and helps supervise Division 2.
Q: How long have you been in the Kiwanis Family for? Describe your experience with the Kiwanis Family. VC: I have been a Kiwanis Family member since 2000. I was a member of Skyline Key Club. I continued serving in Circle K International when I went to college at Sacramento State University. After graduating from college and moving back to Oakland, I joined the Kiwanis Club of Oakland in 2011 where I am now the Kiwanis advisor for Key Club.
Q: Have you noticed any changes over time or anything interesting with the Kiwanis Family? VC: The Kiwanis Family has definitely grown over the years. We didn’t have more than 10 Key Clubs i Division 2 when I was a member. I’ve also noticed that Kiwanis Family relations have improved. When I was a Key Clubber, I had no idea what Circle K or Kiwanis was.
Q: Describe your favorite Kiwanis Family related memory. VC: I don’t have a single favorite memory, but my favorite memories involved working at food 18
banks and feeding the homeless and hungry. Those were events that I always remember doing as a member of Key Club, Circle K, and Kiwanis. I believe no one should ever have to go hungry. The world produces enough food to feed everyone and yet we still hear stories of people starving everyday.
Q: Why did you decide to become a Region Advisor Assistant? What do you like about this job? VC: It’s all about giving back to the organization and my home division that gave me something to look forward to during my high school years. I really enjoy helping out behind the scenes, making sure events run smoothly and guiding our young leaders of today to be even better leaders of tomorrow.
Q: What do you enjoy most about being part of the Kiwanis Family? VC: I truly enjoy the camaraderie of being part of the Kiwanis Family. Being able to serve the community with your peers, to develop your abilities in leadership, and traveling long distances to see your friends hundreds of miles away makes being part of the Kiwanis Family worthwhile.

C LUB R EPORTS ALAMEDA Alameda Key Club has been doing well and we are offering a ton of service events -perfect for the holiday season! Our past services include flyering for Rhythmix (a community cultural arts centers) to promote their future events, serving 1,500 meals on Thanksgiving Day through Oakland Chinatown Salvation Army, creating holidays cards that we will be delivering to Oakland Children's Hospital, volunteering as elves for the Oakland Children's Holiday Parade, helping out at the North Face Endurance Challenge and Run or Dye. This month, we are looking forward to volunteering at Salvation Army once again to serve meals on Christmas Day. We are also scheduled to volunteer with Uhuru Pies and our local Food Bank -- the first time during the term!
ALBANY Our club has been quite active this month! We attended the Oakland Children's Holiday Parade where we helped out carrying the banner dressed up as elves. We walked through the parade and even appeared on TV! This month we also made cards for a "Winter Wonder Candy Card" Sale we do at school every year. Club members met up to make a lot of cards to sell. We plan to sell these cards that come with Rice Krispies or pepper mint barks for one dollar, which will be given to people during class on this following Thursday. Funds made from this sale will be given to PTP and Project Eliminate. Other events we attended include the "Albany Library Sale", where we volunteered at the local library.
20
AMERICAN INDIAN PUBLIC Within the month of November 15 to December 15 our club has participated on volunteering at a food bank on Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving day. Followed by ordering our T shirts and Adopt-a-Park at Diamond Park in Oakland California. We have also began a canned food drive. Lastly, we participated in the Dunsmuir-Hellman event "A HOLIDAY TRADITION" for the City of Oakland Parks and Recreation center.
ARROYO We had two different events over Thanksgiving break. We helped assemble fruit baskets for the less fortunate and the other event, we helped cook and serve turkey. Our club is planning on attending the Holiday Dinner DWS. We are also planning on volunteering for an event "Meals on Wheels," which sounds like an exciting event. We are planning our Kiwanian Takeover, where we will be taking over a Kiwanian meeting and raise money through auctions of baked goods, coupons, etc.
21
BERKELEY Berkeley High Key Club participated in many events this month. We went to the candy land fair, hosted a bake sale on 4th street, Berkeley half marathon and helped out at the Berkeley High Holiday meal. At the Candyland fair, Berkeley high key clubbers wrapped presents, did face painting and gave presents to children. The bake sale was very successful because we sold nearly everything and made quite a bit of money. The Berkeley half marathon was an extremely successful event. We had many members volunteer and they all thought it was very fun. Finally, we volunteered at the annual Berkeley High Holiday meal. This event was 2 days-- on Friday and Saturday. There was a lot that needed to be done. Key club members said they really enjoyed helping out and would like to volunteer next year as well.
CASTRO VALLEY This past month, Castro Valley attended many service events including the Candyland Set Up and the Candyland Holiday Tradition Division Wide Service events. We also attended the Salvation Army Thanksgiving Lunch where we served the less fortunate a Thanksgiving turkey meal. At different Safeway locations, we had Salvation Army bell ringing events too. We had a bake sale as well as a food drive. To help fundraise for Eliminate, we attended the Dublin Iceland event along with the DCM. Also, we helped out at the Berkeley Half Marathon.
22
EL CERRITO Last week, we recently had a school wide winter carnival. We sold drinks and hot dogs from Costco and it was really fun. We plan on having a bake sale in Berkeley soon during winter break. Hopefully next month, we will have more opportunities for our El Cerrito club members!
ENCINAL In the last month our club had participated in the social event at Color Me Mine. Also, we've recently talked about a new community service opportunity for Encinal Key Clubbers in which we can help kids from Paden Elementary School with their reading skills. It is set to begin on the first week after winter break.
23
OAKLAND HIGH For the month of December, we've engaged in various events. On the 6th of December, we went to Key Club's DCM at Dublin Ice Skating Center! On December 7th, we participated in the Oakland Holiday Parade in the afternoon & the Red Lion Hotel Auction later on that night. Also, we signed in for our very own high school's campus cleanup & are currently working towards our 10 hours in order to begin fundraising.
OAKLAND TECH Recently, the club has been trying to come up with new types of fundraisers. We've also formed committees to help us come up with more ideas and also to give the members a chance at experiencing some type of leadership. We have not started our committee meetings yet, but they are soon to come. We've also planned a social for the members. In terms of services, we've been able to find some more interesting services that seem to interest the members.
24
PIEDMONT Recently, we volunteered at the Piedmont Turkey Trot in helping to pass out bibs to the runners. We also aided Uhuru Pies in their pie campaign and plan to continue helping through throughout the holiday season. Additionally, a few of our members teamed up with Oakland KIWINS at the Oakland Kiwanis Holiday Auction. As for fundraising, we are continuing to raise money for the Eliminate Project through our bubble tea sales. With our school's Winter Faire coming up, an opportunity for clubs to promote themselves, we hope to recruit more members to join the Kiwi family!
SAN LEANDRO Our club help a Kiwanis take over at the beginning of the month. We raised about $200 and had the opportunity to get to know our fellow Kiwanians. We have also been participating in the Dunsmuir events. We also recently elected our freshman representative Celia Martinez. We are excited to have her as part of our board.
25
SKYLINE Skyline this month has been going great. Our Thanksgiving break event of serving food was fun, and our bake sale during late November ended up being amazing as well. This month, we've started our book drive where people donate books for children in low-income areas. Boxes for donations have been distributed to English teachers, and it's only a matter of time before our book drive grows even bigger. Besides that, we have mock elections coming up, and we've been doing fundraising as usual -- we're planning to sell chain bracelets and possibly sunglasses.
26

An Enjoyable Bake Sale By Anna Xu, Skyline At the bake sale we held in Montclair Village, we raised funds that would be donated to PTP. To the Skyline fundraising chair Vivian La, the bake sale was a “great experience” where the junior learned a lot about organizing events and interacting with people. “We baked a lot of goods that we were able to give some away,” La said. “Even though people didn’t like sweets, they were still able to make donations, and we really loved that. We were able to connect with other members and with a purpose.” Skyline Treasurer Lauryn Yee expressed the same sentiments. “I was part of a good sized group selling baked goods to the many people walking by during the sunny day,” Yee said. “I have never been at a bake sale before, so I didn’t know how well things would sell, and I found that people are very generous when it comes to donating to a cause.” According to Yee, the cupcakes and cookies were like an added bonus to many of passer-byer’s donations. “I was glad that people appreciated our efforts to help kids,” Yee said.
Oakland Holiday Parade By Michelle Ha, Oakland High On December 7th, Oakland High Key Clubbers participated in this year's Oakland Holiday Parade. At this event, they marched from downtown, near the Marriott Hotel, all the way to Lake Merritt. They were assigned to get into positions where they were needed. Coordinators would tell them where to go and what they needed help on. Overall, it was a great day because everyone was getting into the holiday spirit! Oakland High
“It was an interesting experience. It was also kind of fun

I hope you had a fantastic holiday break! I know I did. :)
Hello Kiwis! What a fantastic month of service we just had! Snaps and claps for you all. :) Seriously... I like to keep up with what clubs have been doing (it’s hard not to when I always get notifications from the Facebook groups. I’m not complaining though. I LOVE getting notifications!) and it was truly the season of giving. Keep up the great work! How has your break been? For me, it’s been super wonderful having so much time to relax (and celebrating the end of college applications! May the new year be ever in our favors....). One of the questions we’ve asked our MoMs was “What is your new year’s resolution?” Here’s mine: Stop complaining. :) Time is flying by so fast. We’ve already reached the halfway point of the school year and we are probably three-quarters of the way done with our Key Club terms. :( Officers: that doesn’t mean there isn’t enough time to initiate change and reforms within your clubs. Everything you do in your term will help build a great foundation for your club that the 2013-2014 board can expand upon! Speaking of 2013-2014, I cannot wait for conclave. Good luck to the candidates running for the LTG position and good luck to everyone running for a club position! I highly encourage you to speak with the officer who holds that position to get more information about that position and to get advice. We have so many budding Kiwi leaders and I am so proud and inspired because of you all. Stay golden, Kiwis. :) Happy new year! Here is an inspirational quote for you: “Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.” — Henry David Thoreau
