Lieutenant Governor’s Note! What’s Grazin’ Sheepies! I hope you all had an AMAZING first month of school with new memories to come and exciting experiences! Entering the school year may be overwhelming with in-person transitions but I hope that you are all taking it slow and enjoying the moment while simultaneously staying safe! Personally, entering my senior year was exciting but scary at the same time so we are all experiencing these new changes together! Take this time to value to the school year and take advantage of the in-person setting as you have many opportunities to open up new doors for your members and clubs! Speaking of in-person settings, I am undeniably excited to begin in-person events soon! While regulations may be changing every day, my first priority is SAFETY & HEALTH so I will be sure to keep you all in the loop with upcoming changes that may be coming soon! Right now, I highly suggest immersing yourself in your club, get connected with your officers, and open your mind to new things every day in Key Club! I hope we can all learn new things together this term as the school year begins and the productive Key Club term is upon us! Thank you all for your hard work and I look forward to seeing you all very soon!
With a GLEAMING passion for service,
D15S LTG 2021-22

HIGHLIGHT HIGHLIGHT A A SHEEP SHEEP Our Spirit Coordinator, CLEMENS KANG!
HEYO! My name is Clemens Kang, a senior at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, and I proudly serve YOU as your division Head Spirit Coordinator for the 2021-2022 term!!! Key club, our passion, and our members inspire me everyday and I am so honored to help bring spirit into Division 15 South. Outside of Key Club, I serve as the founder and president of a club called Hospice Mustangs, an organization aiming to provide service to hospice patients and inspire and educate others in the community. I also love to surf, eat new cultural/fusion foods, and visit beaches. FUN FACT: I went to the same beach 5 days in a row over summer break!
What motivates you to continue Key Club? Key club has, from the beginning, provided me a space of love, passion, and community, and I strive to serve as a leader who can best give others a similar experience! As you may know, this is the first year EVER, of our Division 15 South existing, and I am dedicated to bringing the HYPE and SPIRIT and creating a legacy for the D15S SHEEPIESSS.
How does being the Head Spirit Coordinator express yourself as a person? As the Head Spirit Coordinator, I lead an AMAZING team of 5 dedicated key clubbers who work alongside me in creating/planning DIVISION CHEERS, coordinating spirit gear and merchandise, and finding ways to bring spirit to our division. Through this, I have had ample opportunities to expand my creative outlet. Not only do I connect outside of the division, region level to share ideas and feedback, but I also work with a TEAM to plan these ideas from the bottom to the top. It has been such a great experience thus far to reflect my values and strategic ideas to help us…. WIN THAT SPIRIT STICK!!

CLUB UPDATES CENTENNIAL On July 1st, Centennial Key Club started the Kindness Chains service event, where members could create paper chains with words of kindness or uplifting messages written on each link. These chains were sent out to people in need of kind words and smiles. Members sent pictures of their completed chains along with the amount of time that they spent working on them.
CORONA On August 5th at 4-9pm, the Corona High Key Club officers had an in person bonding at the house of our club president, Madi Nguyen. We discussed our plans for club rush and funding, as well as an event plus theme for each month so that Key Club remains entertaining. We discussed what separates Key Club from other community service clubs in our school, and what we will do for member retention. Every officer (Abraham, Dasia, Kathryn, Valerie, Desiree) attended this bonding!
E. ROOSEVELT For the month of July, ERHS Key Club had a service project where members collect bottles and cans, putting them in separate trash bags to be dropped off at the recycle center at the end of the month! This was an amazing opportunity for members to benefit from their empty bottles and cans. Additionally, this recycle drive allows key clubbers to practice recycling, something that is beneficial for their environment, meaning ultimately beneficial for everyone!

NORCO As we continue our term, we look for new ways to keep our members engaged with our club. Charity miles, recommended by our secretary Erin Tiha, was an event we held for a week. In this event, one downloaded the app Charity Miles and logged in every type of exercise one participated in. The app can also track any type of movement from running to dancing. One could choose from a variety of charities to support while helping oneself stay healthy. The charities sponsored include Feeding America, Project Purple, American Lung Association, National Park Foundation, and World Food Programme. Each mile one does helps raise money for the charity chosen. The different activities one participates raises a certain amount of money for each mile. Running can raise 25 cents per mile meanwhile biking will raise 10 cents per mile. While advocating for a healthy lifestyle, we were also able to help raise money for those in need in our community and around the world.
SANTIAGO On July 25th the officer boards from Corona and Santiago held a Phineas and Ferb themed service social and the event went from 2pm to 3pm. We were able to introduce the presidents from both clubs, watch an episode of Phineas and Ferb, do the Color-a-Smile service project, and play Phineas and Ferb Mafia. All the officers from both Santiago and Corona, some of our Kiwanians, and a couple of our members participated in this service social event. The event was held on zoom and the purpose of the event was to do our service project and to connect with our Kiwanians and members that attended. One of our main goals was also to bond with the officer board from Corona! Overall the event was very well planned and it was a super fun experience and I definitely felt like there was lots of bonding in between the two clubs and hopefully we can work with the amazing officer board from Corona again in the future.
