Officer Training conference Officer Training Conference, also known as OTC, is a conference held for both officers and members. During the conference attendees are exposed to the many different responsibilities and standards of their positions and are presented with an opportunity to learn many new concepts. In addition to the individual position sessions, there were general sessions held that covered topics such as communication, member recruitment, the branches of key club and many more!! Page 11 | Officer Training Conference
For OTC, this was my second time attending OTC as I attended last year’s virtual OTC. I got to the CNH District office building early, and met up with my girlfriend Simranjeet and soon checked in with our LTG, Yahir. Sim and I then hung out together outside until OTC commenced. I exchanged these bracelets I made for our officer board and OTC started and I honestly had fun. Everyone then went to different places for our first breakout session, I was in the Presidents’ session and I was able to get really good information and advice on how I can improve our club and know the process of getting something that Colony needs. As the session finished, all divisions had their DCMs, and I was able to introduce plans for Colony. As it finished up, I was able to meet Aranxa for the first time as we are in spirit crew together and I was delighted to see her. Next, we watched a few more presentations on Kiwanis, Recognition Contests, District Goals, etc. With all the sessions concluding, everyone started chanting “L-O-V-E WE LOVE OUR LTGs” and I screamed “L” so loudly and everyone began laughing. Sim and I were not able to stop laughing and she was like “JASMIN SAID THAT”. Overall, I personally had a good experience and a wonderful time and I cannot wait for more D15 events.
OTC was an event that I attended this event hoping to learn more about topics that intrigued me such as the graphic standards and communication. I found that the course on Graphic Standards covered a lot of topics that refreshed my memory in regards to my responsibility and guidelines of my position. Additionally, I also learned a lot from the communication course such as proper and professional communication versus the inappropriate and unprofessional communication. I found this to be extremely beneficial because I learned many ideas that I once did not know. Furthermore, we all split up into our respective divisions and held DCM’s. Here, our home club Colony was able to announce our takeover and the meaning of the event. Lastly, the second session was very energetic and filled with many presentations in which I felt I learned a lot from. Overall, I really enjoyed this event and found it to be not only extremely beneficial, but very fun and a very social event perfect for anyone! WRITTEN BY ANETTE MARTINEZ

Hello fellow Belugas, my name is Aranxa and recently I was able to finally attend my very first OTC. At first I was nervous attending this event, but as the sessions happened, I became more comfortable. I was able to meet new people from the same or different division. I made new friends and connected more with the people in my idvision. I 100 percent recommend going to the OTC if you can. In the future, I hope to attend more of these fun events and show my pride for DIvision 15 West. WRITTEN BY ARANXA GARZON COLONY HIGH SCHOOL
OTC was amazing! It was colorful, fun, and an incredible chance to interact with those from another division! My favorite part was the secretary breakout, where LTG Yahir Perez informed secretaries of tips, tricks, and our duties. OTC was a great chance to make new friends, and I had an incredible time.

Chino Concerts in the Park
Page 15 | Chino Concerts
Chino Concerts in the Park is an event that is held every Thursday during the whole month of July and two weeks into August! The concerts are hosted by the Chino Kiwanis Club in which, key clubbers are invited to come out and help! There are many jobs that are given to key clubbers during the concerts such as serving food to customers, wrapping hotdogs and burgers and so much more! Not only will key clubbers work together to create a great concert experience for the citizens watching, however they will get to connect with new key clubbers and will be able to enjoy various types of music!
The Chino Concerts were a blast! Although I was mostly in charge of the nacho section, you could see the immense teamwork in all the other sections. Members from all over D15W were there to partake in this lively event! There were slow and busy moments, but throughout it all, there was never a dull moment. The music was entertaining, and the crowd truly seemed to have a good time, especially with their added food and beverages. With this event, you could very much see the impact that Key Club has on its community. Not only are the members building up valuable skills needed in their dayto-day lives, but the community is brought into a state of unitedness and joy. And to see smiles like that, that is what makes Key Club great. WRITTEN BY LTG YAHIR PEREZ MONTCLAIR HIGH SCHOOL.
For the Chino concert that I attended with my best friend and DNE, Anette, we got to help Chino Kiwanis run the event smoothly by assisting them in selling food and drink items. I was extremely surprised as after one hour of helping set up, people quickly filled up the lawns when the concert started. I got to meet new people from another community service organization and everyone was extremely kind which I appreciated. I was able to work with Aranxa who is in Spirit Crew and attends Colony as well, in providing the cold drinks and it was fun to bond with her.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THIS
On July 7th, I finally got the chance (after a whole year!!) to attend a Chino Concert hosted by the Chino Kiwanis! I was once again put on nacho duty so it was quite the throwback thursday! Although I didn’t really get to pay attention to the live music all that much, I did see that everyone had a great time and enjoyed the music. Hands down the best part of the entire night was definitely getting to hang out with my friends, new key clubbers i hadn’t gotten the chance to meet yet, AND some members from the Cal Poly Circle K though!! The memories I made that night really made all the exhausting hours worth it and made me look forward to the next couple of weeks :) WRITTEN BY ANNIE LY MONTCLAIR HIGH SCHOOL
So I kind of went there late, but as we arrived we got to work quickly. we were selling food and drinks, and I was in charge of drinks. I would help pass out drinks to the customers. Then later we switched shifts with the other people and I helped make nachos. I would just help out around, and see if anyone needed anything overall. WRITTEN BY ALANA YEE DIAMOND RANCH HIGH SCHOOL
