Thank you to those who attended the July Division Council Meeting.

Just by throwing water balloons at each other and having fun, we were able to raise over $130 for PTP! Make sure to keep on the lookout for more division fundraisers and events as the term progresses. With four DCMs into the term, I hope you all enjoyed your summer and have been using the time to serve the community at volunteering events as well! Thank you all for staying active in the division and I am BEE-yond excited for the school year to start. In order to prepare for the school year, I hope all of you are taking active roles in promoting Key Club and are making club rush materials.

Member recruitment is essential for the division to grow and for us to achieve our goals. Other big events that are coming up quickly are the Region Training Conference with Region 17 and 9 and Fall Rally North on September 29th-30th and October 20th, respectively. I highly encourage attending these events for an even greater Key Club experience with Key Clubbers outside of Division 12 South, so save those dates! I can’t wait to see you all— and maybe some new freshmen—at the August Division Council meeting on August 25th hosted by Yerba Buena Key Club!

R O F E C RA Y C A R E T I L I was lucky to be able to help volunteer at Sobrato’s very own graduation! I helped sell concessions for theguests attending the graduation ceremony. It was great to see the many happyfaces of the family members and friends of the graduating class and, of course, our own graduating seniors. It was a very joyful day and helping to sell concessions was very fun.

This was a great way to end the school year!

Leland Key Club helped out at the Race for Literacy, supporting the India Literacy Program by handing out medals, congratulating runners, and manning the water station. We felt like we were making a difference by allowing the tired runners to rest, celebrate, and enjoy their time at the event. This involved us using many of our core values such as leadership and caring. The event was mostly successful, except in the very beginning it took us a while to get settled and find the runners and the other volunteers, and it was amazing to see the tired but grateful smiles the runners gave us as we handed out water and medal

Aside from that, we also hang up banners, set up the booth, and prepare food. This event is really laid-back and is a great way to socialize with other members, while also volunteering! I look forward to helping out each week with our Kiwanis and club members!

I have volunteered at many events over the past term, but I can honestly say that the Blacklight Slide event was one of the most fun events I have attended. At the event I helped prepare the inflatable tubes for participates in the slide. I was able to bond with fellow Key Clubbers from my school while having blast. I definitely intend to continue my participation in future events and I look forward to meeting new people that also have a love for volunteering.

Having Kristy as my class advisor made me want to get into Key Club. I stayed because of the amazing people I met through this club, and how we’re such a close-knit ohana :)

I stayed in Key due to all the fun people that were in it. Their energy and pride was infectious and I got swept up into it.

Everyone welcomed me even though we never met, I felt like I belonged and I want to continue that and hopefully give someone else that feeling of feeling like they belong.

I joined Key Club because like most people, it would look good on my college application. As I started volunteering for events, I began to learn true leadership skills. I learn so much more about myself than I ever thought possible, and really make a difference in the community.

Looking at a neat park you've just helped clean up so kids can have a happy safe place to have fun gives you such a great feeling. To sum it all up, I've stayed in Key Club because after helping an event along with many passionate members, it gave me satisfactory and accomplishment.

I first joined Key Club because it was the biggest service club at our school and everyone told me to join. I also wanted to finish the 40 hours service requirement for graduation. However, when I first joined I was not very active. I think being part of the board and going to division events like DCM really made me get more involved with Key.)

In freshman year, I saw a lot of my friends going to Key Club events and it seemed really fun. I also wanted to go to Key events to meet new people.

Honestly, the people mostly is what kept me here. Not only my fellow Key Clubbers but also the people I meet during volunteer events have a story to tell and why they committed to volunteering. And honestly, it feels rewarding that I'm helping my home, school, and community already

”

-Ethan Tran My friends greatly encouraged me to join Key Club. In the beginning, I thought that Key Club was only about doing service events, but recently I have realized that this club stands for way more than just getting hours. I have been able to develop myself as a better leader, friend, and overall person. The bonds I've made with other key clubbers from many other divisions has strengthened my love for Key Club.

TEAMWORK Growing your club takes hard work, enthusiasm, creativity, and a plan.

It is crucial to promote your club non-stop throughout the school year - even in the summer.

MEETINGS Meetings are important so members can be inform and aware on future events As officers, you must have passion for leadership and your club. Spread your passion and others will follow.

You should have music, activities, raffles, or a wheel that students can spin to win prizes like candy

TI PS

ENGAGEMENT Ice breakers either before or after meetings are a great way for members to bond and enjoy themselves.

The closer the club feels, the more likely members are to continue to participate

SOCIAL MEDIA Social media is key. Your club must have a voice in order to be heard. Take advantage of your club’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts to let students know about upcoming meetings and projects

Children’s Education SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE PROGRAM GUIDE | AUGUST 2018

a message from the service projects committee Hello, CNH Key Club!

With summer coming to an end, remember the importance of giving back to your community by remembering the Key Club International and the CNH District’s Major Emphasis -- Children: Their Future, Our Focus -- as well as the service performed by clubs in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District. There are significant ways in which you can promote the enhancement of children’s education, like a simple school supply drive or hosting a career fair. The possibilities are endless in educating the future leaders of the world this August! This guide is designed to give you resources for planning service or fundraising events relating to August’s Spotlight on Service Program initiative: Children’s Education! The following pages provide an overview of what “Children’s Education” and the Spotlight on Service Program are about. If you have any concerns, please email Service Projects Chair Lily Marshall at cnhkc.sp@gmail.com.

Happy Serving, Service Projects Committee

Children’s Education SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE PROGRAM GUIDE | AUGUST 2018

What is the Spotlight on Service Program?

The CNH Spotlight on Service Program was created by the Service Projects Committee to promote International and District initiatives as well as to encourage active participation with organizations and initiatives. Every month, there is a designated theme that all clubs are encouraged to focus their service towards to promote a variety of service projects.

Clubs that participate in a specific month’s focus are eligible to submit to the form in order to receive recognition, which can be found under the “Spotlight on Service Program” page under the “Projects” tab on the CNH CyberKey. Pictures can be sent to cnhkc.sp@gmail.com. All submissions are due on the fifth of the following month by 6:00 PM (PST) or 3:00 PM (HST). One or more clubs are featured every month in the District Newsletter in recognition of any outstanding service project.

Overview of “Children’s Education”

Since 1946, Key Club International has encouraged members to focus on our Major Emphasis - “Children: Their Future, Our Focus.” We must provide children with the education they need to ensure that kids all around the world have a great future awaiting them. During the month of August, we should remember to focus on increasing all children's access to education and improving its quality. By working together as a district, there is no limit to what we can accomplish!

Children’s Education SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE PROGRAM GUIDE | AUGUST 2018

Event Ideas SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE With summer break coming to a close, you can organize a school supply drive to donate unused school supplies or backpacks you may have at home to the youth in your community! First, find a location and contact the place 2-3 weeks in advance to ask if you may hold the drive there. Once you have the date, time, and location settled, start promoting your event using posters and social media! On the day of the drive, have several club members, officers, and advisors help set up any necessary equipment such as tables, posters, signs, boxes, etc. 1-2 hours prior to the event start time. Throughout the duration of the drive, be kind and welcoming to those who pass by, regardless of whether or not they are donating. Also, if you would like to extend the drive you may leave donation boxes at the site. Once the drive is over, collect all the boxes and donate them to your local School on Wheels site or any other organizations that accept donations.

LIBRARY VISIT

CAREER FAIR

Key Clubbers can go to their local library and volunteer there by doing an assortment of things including cleaning up and reading to kids. Club representatives should contact their library to ask about setting up an event at the library such as having Key Clubbers read books to the children. If there were two to three Key Clubbers for each group of 10 kids spread throughout the library, clubs of different sizes can carry out this project by adjusting the number of Key Clubbers working with the groups as the number of kids increases.

This could be a weekly event where Key Clubbers come and read to the kids in the community.

Get elementary students excited for the future ahead with a career fair! The head of the project should talk to the administration and reserve a school’s cafeteria or gym for the night. Then, reach out to parents, Kiwanians, teachers, and other adults in their community, and ask them if they would like to set up a booth at the career fair and talk to participants about their jobs. Key Clubbers can volunteer by helping at booths and demonstrations, presenting their own booth, serving food and water, and setting up and cleaning up the event. Tell the local elementary schools about the career fair and you’re good to go!

Children’s Education SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE PROGRAM GUIDE | AUGUST 2018

Fundraiser Ideas PTP SPELLING BEE A fun, yet educational way to teach the members of your club about the Pediatric Trauma Program is to host a PTP Spelling Bee! This can be held during a DCM or social. Prior to the event, do your research and find easy, medium, and challenging words that relate to PTP (such as “preventable,” “accident,” “unintentional,” etc.). Compile these words into a word bank and write out the rules for the spelling bee. On the day of the spelling bee, have members pay a fee of $1 to participate. Have each participant stand beside one another and explain all the rules of the spelling bee prior to starting the first round. At the end of the spelling bee, have a reward ready for the champion and donate all the funds to PTP (all information regarding donations can be seen on the CyberKey).

JEOPARDY

GAME NIGHT

During the event, participants create teams to enter the contest. As questions are asked, the teams work together to answer correctly. The first team to correctly provide the answer wins points for each correct answer. As a fundraiser, a club can charge entry fees and sell food. To hold this event, the club must determine how each team will indicate it has the answer, create a board with 6 topics and 5 questions for each topic, set up chairs for each team and separate chairs for the audience, and offer a prize for the winning team. Make sure to have student volunteers to run the program, offer snacks, set up and clean up. Don't forget that you will need adults to chaperone the event and manage money.

This can feature board games that help develop children’s critical thinking skills.

There could be stations where parents and kids in the community can come to participate in different games that are education-themed, such as Scrabble. This will take a lot of advertising, but could work if the Kiwanians help advertise it to the community for participation. In addition to admission, clubs can also earn money by selling food, drinks, or having a raffle.

Arroyo School Supply Drive

BY D2S LTG VIVIAN LUONG, ARROYO KEY CLUB “Back in October of 2016, Arroyo Key Club volunteered for a local elementary school in our area. They were hosting a Halloween Carnival for the students, and volunteers were tasked with moving tables and chairs from classrooms to the gym. As we were setting up, we noticed that many of the classrooms were missing school supplies-things we had all frequently seen growing up in the same elementary school a couple years prior. After asking questions to teachers and staff, we realized that teachers weren't able to provide students with elementary things like scissors, rulers, color pencils, and more. The school district had lost funding for simple things like supplies, and focused more on rebuilding and funding new play structures, classrooms, and buildings. Arroyo Key Club was able hold a successful school supply drive at the beginning of the school year. To promote our drive, we posted fliers all over social media, our school, and community centers. After collecting school supplies from drop-off points, we were able to organize everything into boxes and donated a wide range of school supplies to the same elementary school.”
