ltg's letter HI-YA Ninjas! It’s been a BUSY fall season with dues payments and of course... Fall Rally! As the holiday season approaches, I hope to give you all the gift of giving! Remember to give it your all during this time of year whether it be doing a simple act of kindness or attending the service events our division has to offer. Be sure to spend time with your family and friends since I am sure that they have played a very important part in your life. We only have about 5 months left in the term, so I encourage you all to make the most out of Key Club with the limited time we all have left together. See you all soon! uWu :’)
Yours truly but not really, Gerard Legaspi <<33

dlt's notes krezzia basilio // executive assistant
HI-YA Division 13 South! A huge congratulations to everyone who survived the first half of the term! Whether you were an officer handling Fall Rally, dues, RTC, weekly meeting, and member retention or if you were a first-time member experiencing your first service events and your first fall rally, I am extremely proud of all of you! I am also extremely proud of us for obtaining and finally winning that Spirit Stick at fall rally! After 3 years of experiencing fall rally, this third one was really amazing! Now that you have seen how BIG and IMPACTFUL key club is, it is important to realize that there is more to key club than just Fall Rally! There are monthly service and social events such as DCMs and tree plantings or marathons, conclave (the election of your LTG), CTC (Candidate Training Conference), DCON (District Convention, Rose Float (California Wide Service event), and so much more! Keep serving ninjas, we’re halfway there!
mia sam // executive assistant HIYA NINJAS The holiday season is here, and so is FRS!! Thank you all for your hard work during these past few months, I hope you all had a memorable time during our busy months. We’re halfway through term already! Make sure to keep the good work up, and relax within your breaks. I’m so excited as I’ve watched us grow together, and a lot of progress has been made. WE’VE HAD A GREAT YEAR SO FAR :) Remember: I’m here if anything, and I believe in you! Much love, Mia Sam
vittina ibanez // executive assistant Hey ninjas, How have all of you been doing lately? I hope you’ve all been doing great in school and everything you do. Personally, this is one of the busiest times of the year for me with college apps, extracurriculars, and really just school in general, but the holidays are coming up and I’m really excited because that means more breaks and more service opportunities. I hope to see you all at upcoming events like Thanksgiving basket making and gift wrapping, and I also want o congratulate you amazing ninjas on getting that bread at fall rally! You all make my heart so full, and I am thankful for every single one of you. Also, I just wanted to say a special good luck to all the seniors applying for college. Love you all!
