Life's a beach and the giraffes are just playing in the sand... and picking up trash of course! It was a beautiful, sunny day at Santa Monica Beach where Region 13 held their beach clean up! Although it was early in the morning, they started the day playing ice breakers and a variety of other games that gave everyone the opportunity to meet members from other divisions. After the energy-boosting fun, the giraffes grabbed some plastic bags and slipped on their gloves and got down and dirty to clean up the beach! Region 13 Key Clubbers ventured high and low, far and near to gather all the trash they could find! After thoroughly cleaning what they could, it was time to relax and enjoy the summer sun! The beach was thriving with activity! Whether they were playing football or volleyball in the sand, taking a dip in the refreshing ocean waves, walking the pier, or simply staying sprawled out on a beach towel on the warm sand, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the company of their fellow Key Clubbers! At around 4:00 PM, everyone was cleaned up and ready to go home! People gave their last good-bye hugs and exchanged names and contact information to their new-found friends. Despite the sun burns and all the sand stuck in tight spaces, it was all worth it to spend a day with Region 13! You can definitely bet your bottom sand dollar, that this was an event that was truly enjoyed by all!
Recently, Division 15 split into North and South to battle it out in a competitive car wash to raise money for PTP. North’s was held at Joe’s Crab Shack and South was held at the Ford Dealership. Both were extremely heated and filled with fun. In the end, There were advertisements, limos, speedo boys, and much more! In the end, Division 15 as a whole raised a successful amount of money, and North won!

D15 is adopting a "buddy system" in which clubs are separated in groups of two or three. These groups will then help each other grow and plan events together. In this way, our Division will be even more unified with stronger school clubs. Officer and members alike should try to maintain good relationships with their buddy club officer and members and offer advice, events, and solutions to each other!

Chino Hills Relay for Life By: Sona Senapati Chino Hills Key Club recently spent another amazing day at Chino Relay for Life. We had 42 members on our team and raised the wonderfully large amount of $1,083! Our team sold henna tattoos, which proved to be quite the success, as people continued to line up awaiting their very own tattoo. It was truly incredible seeing how many people had come together in what was once known as Ayala Park. That day, the park had transformed into some sort of cancer-fighting haven. Each person there had the same purpose: to kick cancer's butt. Our team participated in the Ms. Relay beauty pageant, where two of our very own male officers dressed up in some very exotic attire to show the city that they we were ready to beat cancer in the most fabulous way possible. We took laps during Luminaria, a ceremony to honor those who have passed, survived, and are still fighting cancer. It brought tears to my eyes, walking the track, seeing so many paper bags filled with candles. As a Key Clubber, it had not struck me that we were truly making the biggest difference by just being there for the event with friends and strangers that all shared the same goal. Another great part of the experience, was bonding with Ayala Key Club and seeing how they function as a team, was not much different from the way we function. Overall, Relay for Life was an experience that will not be forgotten. I can say with full confidence that it was the most inspiring 24 hours of my summer.
Splash Dash 5k By: Brian Lui On Saturday, August 3rd, Los Osos and Etiwanda Key Clubbers got up bright and early to volunteer at the Splash Dash 5K Run at the Pomona Fairplex. It was quite a sight to see when 23 members met at the Los Osos parking at five in the morning before the sun had even risen. Groggily we started the morning, but as we got to the event at 6 A.M. we were wide awake and ready both to serve and get soaked. We even got to see some of our fellow key clubbers from D35E! The Splash Dash cause fundraised towards Miracles for Kids, which carries the invaluable purpose of improving the lives of children with cancer and other life threatening conditions. At the Splash Dash, volunteers first helped to set up the soon-to-be soaked course. We set up giant slip-n-slides side by side (and of course we were able to test them too!). Members also got to fill buckets upon buckets of water balloons and a seemingly never-ending line of water guns. Volunteers had one and only one task ahead of them. This was arguably, the most vital aspect of the Splash Dash - to get every runner absolutely soaked! When all the races were over, the fun only picked up from there. There was a concert held at the event and multitudes of children formed a continuous line on the slip-n-slide. Key Clubbers joined in the festivities as we soaked each other to cool off on a hot summer afternoon and then picked up all the scattered water balloon pieces covering the course (a remnant of our successful struggle to soak runners). The Splash Dash was not only successful, but also amazingly fun and refreshing in the weekend before school started. A perfect way to cool off from just another exceptional day of packed service!
Relay for Life By: Andrew Regalado Relay for life is a 24-hour fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It consists of many activities throughout the day that raises cancer awareness, honors patients and survivors, and helps raise money to cure a disease that never sleeps. In order to conquer such a disease, the relay-ers spend 24 hours wide awake and ready for battle. Alongside fighters from all over their community, Ruben S. Ayala Key Club continued the tradition of participating in the Chino Relay for Life. With the determination to raise more money for the cause, Ruben S. Ayala held many fundraising events, including but not limited to their 2nd Annual Acoustic Show. The show itself raised a little over $1,700. In addition to fundraising, Ruben S. Ayala attended all of the weekly Team Captains Meeting to report their fundraising progress and add input on the specific mechanisms of the event. On the day of Relay, Saturday, August 3rd, Ruben S. Ayala Key Clubbers arrived at 6am to begin setting up their campsite. Their campsite theme was UP the movie and they had came up with the creative slogan of “Fed UP with Cancer”. They sold handmade bowties/hair bows as well as pins which made roughly $500 on the day of the event. Also, they informed the public of Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) and decorated their campsite with yellow bows as a tribute to those who suffered from this specific disease. During the event, Ruben S. Ayala Key Club had walkers on the track for the entire 24 hours and participated in all of the hourly activities, including the Miss Relay Pageant. At the pageant, each team has a male team member dress up as a female, and the better they look, the more donations they receive. The Ruben S. Ayala pageant contestant managed to collect $138. Just like the other 93 teams at the 2013 Chino Relay for life, Ayala Key Club felt very blessed that they were able to participate in the wonderful event. They made it into the top 30 teams for raising the most money. They were also recognized with the “Up All Night” award, recognizing them for participating in all of the activities and continuously walking the track. By the end of the event, they raised an outstanding sum of $2323 for the American Cancer Society. The 2013 Chino Relay for Life was very inspirational and touching for the Ayala High School Key Clubbers. They will continue the tradition of attending relay annually, and continue their support for the ongoing fight against cancer.
Concerts in the Park By: Kayla Yamada On August 14th, 2013, the Upland-Foothill Kiwanis Club held the last Concerts in the Park of the ’13 summer at Magnolia Park in Upland. Upland and Alta Loma Key Clubbers arrived early to help set up the snack booth and prepare the food. Soon the band, Retro Station, was playing vintage songs and more people began to arrive. I helped at the front window taking orders and later at the popcorn machine. Other Key Clubbers made nachos, wrapped hot dogs, and helped the cashiers quickly fulfill the customers’ orders. Some volunteers were even making balloon animals for the children. The little kitchen always seemed busy as a constant flow of people came to the front window. Outside, Key Clubbers were selling snow cones and popcorn. It was fun working in the snack booth and also seeing all the families enjoying themselves. At dusk, the booth’s window was closed when the film, Escape from Planet Earth, was about to start. After cleaning everything up, we finally turned off the kitchen’s lights for the seventh and final time that season while looking forward to helping at the Concerts in the Park again next summer.
Ontario Women’s Set Up and Serve By: Steven Eap Noticing our members needed a way to keep themselves busy with some service, we offered to help out the Ontario Women’s Club set up for their event. After finishing setting up, we wait for the next day to serve lunch for the Women’s Club, we were thanked after we finished serving them and asked us if we would serve them again sometime, we gladly accepted.
Alta Loma Summer Camp By: Kenny Yoo From the beginning to the end, I learned many new things by working at Alta Loma Christian’s Summer Camp. I spent at least 15 hours a week working with elementary students and international students. I chaperoned the elementary students on field trips to the park, Scandia, the zoo, and more! I had a chance to cook apple tarts and cupcakes with the students on ‘Kitchen Kapers Day.’ I also had the opportunity to build airplanes and make slime with the students on ‘Arts and Crafts Day.’ When I was not working with the American students, I spent my time helping the international students. I helped them with reading skills and I led them in team bonding group activities. I also had the chance to share some of the cool icebreakers I learned from Key Club! I definitely felt a lot of responsibility working at my old school and I enjoyed working there for a month and a half!
Hello everyone! I hope a good number of you are enjoying the last bits of your summer! And I hope that the rest that are in school already are adjusting well! I’ve already started school and I can definitely feel it overwhelming me already. Key Club, sports, and school becomes a tough balance with the sudden change. Whichever the case, never forget your priorities! Make sure you guys work hard into recruiting some amazing new leaders this year! Now is the perfect season for recruiting members and starting off the year with a bang. Make sure you are prepared for the year and well organized with what you want to accomplish and by when. If you know what you’re doing, members will be easily attracted. Don’t be afraid to make your booth stand out! Also, don’t forget to start looking at contests and their guidelines so you know if you are on track for the year. You definitely should be recognized for the work that you’ve done for your club this year! I apologize that the newsletter isn’t all that I’d like it to be this month. However, I hope you can still find everything that you’re looking for in it. Also, look forward to the release of the website VERY soon! Resources and all the OTC workshops will be found there to use to your full advantage! Best of Luck! Ingrid Channa, Division 15 News Editor

Bottomline, Key Club has taken over my life. I live and breathe giraffia. I go to sleep thinking about my favorite Key Club event, and wake up anticipating the next. On a hot day, when someone says "oh it's so hot", I can't help but chant WE'RE SO HOT, SO HOT, D15 CANNOT BE STOPPED! Key Club has impacted me in ways other clubs just
Key Club has impacted me quite a bit. As a freshman it was the first club I joined and got involved in and it was the first time I got a feel of what it is like supporting something much larger than myelf. Key Club also made the rest of the clubs I joined look lame but thats a different story.
It gave me leadership skills and a love for service!
Key Club has impacted me in a way that nothing else has. I have learned that most strangers are friendly, and many are welcoming. I am no longer afraid to try and get involved in activities
Made me feel like I was doing something right in my life.
It has brought upon great leadership skills to me and has shown me that there are such great organizations out there that bring hope to less fortunate people. It has taught me to seek the better good out of people and to not focus on flaws, but on the positives.
It has developed a different perspective on what kind of a person I want to be. It has made Caring MY way of life. And, I have made the closest, bestest friends through Key Club!
It got me out of my comfort zone, and made it my comfort zone.
Key club has impacted me very greatly. It is like a second family to me. Making new friends, making more memories, making people smile is what I love. I'm very grateful that I get to stick to it all these years.
