LTG’S LETTER

SIERIANNA CHEA | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

BOO NINJAS!! Did I scare you? Happy spooky season as we roll in to October! With going into this new month we are also one month closer to Fall Rally Season!! Fall Rally South is really an event that landmarks Key Club for a lot of members so I highly highly suggest that you attend anything related to the sort like spirit sessions and DCMs! I promise you you’ll get FOMO if you don’t go to Fall Rally! It’s a trip to Six Flags with your friends, WHY WOULDN’T YOU WANNA GO??? Anyways, with this new month, I highly encourage more people to complete more service projects and attend more fundraisers that the division holds! These are very little acts that go such a far distance so going would make me and thousands of kids more than happy! Thank you so much for reading Clairose’s amazing newsletter for the month of October! Happy reading and happy spooks season! Mwah take care of yourselves xoxo

MEMBER OF THE MONTH SUMMER PHILLIPS

OF THE

ISAIAH ANG POLYTECHNIC

During the month of September, Division 13 South held its annual Night-Market DCM! Clubs managed booths and helped raise money for PTP. Moreover, club’s had Club Rush at their schools and used the opportunity to their advantage to recruit new members. We can’t wait to see the new members at events!

Last month was plentiful in service events as club’s held their own events and the division had Operation School Bell. Spirit Team and Publicity Committee worked hard in making a music video, which can be watched on our Instagram page!

Division 13 South is starting October strong with a Harvest Festival service event, DIng Tea fundraiser, and the first RTC Spirit Session. Members are more than exhilarated for Region Training Conference and to win the Spirit Stick!

district update

OPERATION SCHOOL BELL

MAULICA KHIEV | WILSON | TREASURER

The Operation School Bell service event was so fun!! I had a great time organizing and shelving clothing and backpacks with everyone! This annual event was super important because the clothing goes towards kids who are less fortunate!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Last term, Division 13 South worked with Operation School Bell, making last month’s event the second year working with the organization! The backpacks that members filled last term were distributed to students at Willard Elementary School. Key Club is closely focused with helping children in need, which makes serving for this organization even more special and impactful.

NIGHT-MARKET DCM

KATELYN VAN ANDEL | POLYTECHNIC | HISTORIAN

Night Market DCM is special because it’s the most anticipated DCM of the term. Like a lot of other members there, it was my first time attending one! had high expectations going into it and was not disappointed! The food and drinks were delicious, from the thai tea to the spam musubi. It was much fun watching members karaoke, dance, and have an awesome time. Definitely one of the most memorable events of the year. THANK YOU TO

ALL THE CLUBS FOR THEIR HARD WORK!

PTP POSTER MAKING

JIMENA ROMERO | CABRILLO | MEMBER

At the Poly X Cabrillo PTP Poster Making event, members made educational posters! I had a fun time at the service event where I met new people and learned about pediatric trauma that children face and how key club contributes to helping out those in need!

POLY, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, JUNIOR

Why did you join Key Club?

I wanted to connect with my community and I really just loved the people in it!

What has Key Club taught you?

Key Club has taught me that I can do way more than I thought!

What is you Key Club moment?

SPIRIT SESSIONNSSSS! I was new to Poly and went by myself. Even though I was shy and uncomfortable, I made new friends and kept wanting to come back! I didn’t even know I could do that tbh. Everyone was also so nice and supportive. Spirit sessions helped me come out of my shell and I just really loved the environment!

If someone is reluctant to join Key Club, what would you tell them?

I would say “I know it can be intimidating and scary at first, but you’ll quickly fall in love with the people and the events. It’s honestly like a nice escape from school even though it has to do with school.”

BROWNING | MARCO SALAS

We plan on attending events and planning our own.

CABRILLO | ROCIO VALADARES-CRUZ

Poly Key Club has been up and running busily! With participation in different division and club service events, spirit sessions, paying dues, and preparing for homecoming faire plus RTC, we have been on a roll. October will continue to be a lovely hectic month for the members, so they can learn more about Key Club, and (hint hint) be more involved. At the end of this month, and early November, we’re planning to set committees and do our best to win that spirit stick at FRS! We’re continuing to raise funds for PTP (Pediatric Trauma Program) past our $1200 goal, and we are ready to serve above and beyond this term.

September went by well, the high was probably the night market, if was very fun and it unified our club. We’re getting students to fill the rest of the officer positions which will be a great help.
