HIYA Ninjas! OO NO SUMMER IS OVER!! With summer being officially over, I hope you all were able to entertain yourselves and find new hobbies during this challenging period of our lives. Although this summer wasn’t what we hoped it would be, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for continuously attending and serving our division and community during this difficult time. Without your dedication and serving hearts our division wouldn’t have served over 4,800 service hours and raised almost $1,000 for ptp. Thank you all so much and please keep an eye out for many more fun and exciting events coming soon! Since school has officially started that means member recruitment is finally here! During this time we must do our part in promoting Key Club to our schools by reaching out to incoming and current students, creating informational graphics and short videos, and preparing ourselves for back to school night, freshmen orientation and other school socials in order to increase membership in our district. With our district’s membership decreasing every year, it's really important for us to do our parts in order to stop it, this would not just help our CNH District, but even our division and clubs. When increasing dues paid members in your clubs this means an increase in member retention, member recognition, new friends, and many more opportunities to serve throughout the whole term. Although this might be a stressful time due to online schooling and interacting with others virtually, I believe as a strong and most dedicated division we’ll be able to face anything and have one amazing term. I hope you all continue to stay safe by practicing social distancing and we’ll see each other soon! Kickin’ for Service,
there are 13 pumpkins scattered throughout this newsletter! try to find them all!

We also participated in the Spotlight on Service Program with PTP Graphics Making for September's theme: Pediatric Trauma Program. We also participated in fundraisers at Pieology, 7 Leaves, and Gong Cha to raise money for the Pediatric Trauma Program. On the district level, members attended the Member Recognition Webinar. Good luck to all the clubs that have started their recruitment seasons!

The Kiwanis CNH Foundation recognized a serious need for education and training in the pediatric trauma and injury prevention. From there, the foundation established the Pediatric Trauma Program in 1994. The main goal is to reduce the number of children who are killed or injured by trauma.
Children's Miracle Network (CMN) is a nonprofit organization that raises money to benefit hospitalized kids and increases awareness of its member hospitals. All CMN contributions directly benefit hospitals, helping to purchase up-to-date equipment, train staff, conduct life-saving research, implement outreach programs, and provide healthcare for children whose parents can't afford to pay.
Every day 1 in 8 babies born in the U.S. arrives too soon. Premature birth can happen to any pregnant woman, and no one knows why. It is a serious, common and costly problem. Key Club members are helping by raising thousands of dollars annually for the March of Dimes Youth Program to help prevent prematurity.
Since 1994, Key Club has been Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF and over the years has raised nearly US$5 million for iodine deficiency programs worldwide and HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya and Swaziland. Now it’s helping The Eliminate Project.
8
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a fund-raising program for children sponsored by the U.S. fund for UNICEF.
By collecting donations for UNICEF through the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF program, Key Club has raised more than $7 million to support: 1. Iodine deficiency programs worldwide 2. HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya and Swaziland 3. Teen centers in Uruguay providing adolescents with job skills, education, family counseling, and other social services.

Ronald Ourng Historian | Sato As the effects of the pandemic is still out of our hands, the division hasn't stopped the momentum on fundraising! Earlier this month division 13 south had their pieology pizza fundraiser! Members from many clubs participated including Sato, Poly, Mayfair, and more! Although social distancing guidelines are in place and abbided, many members still had a chance to bond and talk with friends while enjoying pizza!

Kai Noah Jugo Historian | Gahr In the month of August our club had a Books for Service project which spanned from the 17th to the 19th. Through this service event, officers and members within our club had the opportunity to look through old letters and help transcribe them, create simple ABC books to donate towards children's literacy, and find a children's story to read aloud and email a recording to us for a local Children's Hospital. My personal favorite was looking through books and transcribing them because I love history. This service project was great to earn hours in a fun and unique way.
Megan Deseo Graphic Editor | Polytechnic From August 17 to 21, Poly Key Club held an event where key club officers and members could share their memories and experiences in Key Club! Each day had a prompt that members could follow, such as posting a photo of their first Key Club event or sharing their story on how they joined Key Club. Templates for each day were available for members to post on their Instagram stories. Poly Key Club board members created the event to show non-members about our experiences and to hopefully attract future members for the upcoming school year!

Jazz Nario Vice President | Bellflower 100 Days of Reading is an education initiative by the Save the Children's Fund: for every minute read and logged onto their website, books and educational resources are unlocked for children in need. Upon coming across it, our club officers decided to make it our SOSP project for the month of August (Children's Education). Some members enjoyed this service project and found it enjoyable. We hope to continue participating in SOSP throughout the term and providing more enjoyable service projects like this in the future.
Emily Uy Historian | Wilson On August 15, members made origami hearts along with school supplies as a form of donation to the needy. We made paper hearts by following YouTube videos on how to make them. The finished paper hearts and the school supplies will be donated at the Bellflower Kiwanis Center.

Michelle Lork Historian | Mayfair Ferb, I know what we're going to do today! On August 22nd, the division came together to discuss club updates, future fundraising, and service projects! During the DCM, the division was able to bond within ice breakers while discussing our next steps to serving our community. Ultimately, this month's DCM without a doubt will have ninjas strive to serve THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!

On top of that, we have been setting up our new Projects Committee, and they had their very first event aimed towards the Spotlight on Service Program's focus of the month: Children's Education! Their event 'Leadership Works' was amazing, and our committee worked together with our service coordinators to talk about servant leadership, goal setting, and overcoming challenges. Lastly for service, we have also had our 'Adventures in Storytelling' event, and created short stories for young children INCLUDING Lindstrom's K-Kids! Shout out to August's member of the month in the division and the club, Alyssa Kline!
