Hey Caribous!

Wanna know a secret? I will be performing for the DCON Talent Portion . Make sure to advertise the upcoming events in this issue because I want us to finish this term together with an exciting BANG! That’s why we are reviving our YouTube channel and doing yet another dare fundraiser. Next month will be the last letter I put out for you guys before I retire… So let me know what you want to see ! As always, I miss you Caribous .

Origa-Mi Amour (OMA) Article #1 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Division 14 had its first “Week of Service” event. Throughout this week of service was a recurring Zoom meeting that members could pop in and out of throughout the week to participate in the varying daily projects. To kick start the week was Origa-Mi Amour. This virtual service group recorded an origami tutorial to donate to hospitals, elementary schools, daycares, etc. as an instructional craft resource. After learning how to master this Japanese art of folding paper, the participating members collected their crafted hearts and donated them to Emerald Oaks 9 Retirement Home.
Love Letters (LL) Article #2 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Continuing with Division 14’s “Week of Service”, day two was dedicated to writing love letters and E-Cards to different organizations. E-Cards are digitally made cards that are donated online to the receivers. Our members donated “Thank You” E-Cards to Essential Covid Workers and “Happy Valentine’s Day” cards to Saint Jude’s hospital patients. Some physical cards were donated to Emerald Oaks by River Valley. Other cards were given to Beale Air Force Base and distributed to various organizations such as Sutter Estates Community Retirement, Summerfield Senior Living, Eskaton Retirement, Yuba City Retirement, and Grass Valley homes.

Love Bites (LB) Article #3 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Day three of Division 14’s “Week of Service” was called “Love Bites”. This day was dedicated to baking Valentine’s treats together over Zoom. Some members brought their own mouth-watering recipes and some followed the provided recipe given in the event by their LTG. Arushi made banana bread, Serena and Caitlin baked some tasty cakes, Kylie whipped up some brownies, Maliny steamed a Cambodian jello like cake that she grew up, Chaylin made cookies, and finally Caitlin and Chaylin both followed the provided recipe for blondies! However, just baking these desserts alone didn’t count for any service unless they were donated in part two 11 of this virtual service project.
Love thy Neighbor (LTN) Article #4 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Following Day three of Division 14’s “Week of Service” was part two of “Love Bites” that we called “Love thy Neighbor”. On this fourth day of the virtual serving week members delivered their previously baked goods. Before donating, members made sure to clarify any possible allergen components in their treats and of course following the Covid safety precautions. Some were gifted to Handy-Men, families who had a lost loved one, religious volunteers and workers, or even children’s organizations. Most were donated to neighbors. Therefore, we LOVE thy Neighbors.

Puppy Love (PL) + DCM Article #1 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG The last day of this “Week of Service” was called Puppy Love. Following February’s Division Council Meeting, members answered a few questions on FreeKibble.com to provide free kibble and pet supplies to animal shelters. However, after realizing that it wasn’t a constant trivia game, members quickly turned their attention to playing “Bean Bean Bean”, “Free Rice”, and “Math for UNICEF” that all similarly donates benefits to organizations by answering questions.

Holiday Food Drive (HFD) Article #1 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Finally after connecting with Pleasant Valley High School Key Club, it was wonderful to know that they have not lost any service time through the pandemic. Their students organized a Holiday Food Drive where they collected canned, nonperishable items to be donated to those less fortunate families in their community. Now that’s what the holidays are all about!
15
Chalk It Up (CIU) Article #2 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Pleasant Valley High School Key Clubbers joined forces in front of their local hospital and wrote heart-warming messages and beautiful pictures for this location. Thanking the medical workers especially in these dire times of need surely brought smiles to their faces. Of course while following social distancing protocols, Pleasant Valley’s passion for serving could not be stopped by Covid.
16
Cards to Retirement Homes (CRH) Article #3 Written by Chaylin Polines, LTG Division 39’s very own Pleasant Valley High School Key Club took part in their own little “Love Letters” event. Members of their club wrote touching cards and letters for their local retired living facilities for the holidays. This overflowing basket of letters really feels like their community is in tight bonds as long as Pleasant Valley Key Club members are around to keep the love going around!
