White Tigers, HOW DO YOU FEEL!?!? My name is Claudia Diaz and I am here to serve you as your Lieutenant Governor. I joined Key Club my freshman year having known I was going to join since I was in the seventh grade when I first attended a Key Club event with my older sisters. Since then, I have known this was the right place for me. Key Club sparked a passion. Key Club has made me want to do my best and be the best person I can possibly be. Last year I had the honor to serve on the Division 16 Executive Board as Secretary and today, I am here finally fulfilling my dream of serving you as Lieutenant Governor. So Key Club? Do you make keys? Yes we make keys to open the doors of the future for the future. As Key Clubbers, we wake up at 6 in the morning and give up our weekends all for the love of service, the love of serving someone in need. Whether it is a marathon we help out at or a homeless shelter, we are there. We are there serving our home, school, and community. We are there leaving our paws imprinted on all of the hearts we touch by serving them. This year I will stop at nothing to ensure Division 16 has the best year we can possibly have before we realign. I want to ensure we are all having fun and are united as an Ohana. Yeah, that’s right an Ohana. Division 16, we are a family of White Tigers so whether you be from Valencia or East Valley don’t ever forget that we have each other. If you ever need advice or just need someone to talk to, don’t ever hesitate to ask a fellow White Tiger because I know that as Key Clubbers we will forever be here for each other. Division 16 White Tigers, we will make our mark in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District and we’ll show them all how fierce Division 16 really is and how loud we can ROAR. Whether you are an underclassman, a junior, or are graduating in a few months, you are a White Tiger and will forever remain a White Tiger. I feel so honored to be able to serve you all and I really do look forward to meeting each and every single one of you very soon. Thank you for all of your service, keep it up Division 16!
2013-2014 Lieutenant Governor, Claudia Diaz

North Hollywood Key Club and NHHS Leadership held the UCLA Blood Drive on March 19, 2013. The club members helped spread the news and some was able to donate as well. It was a day-long event that many students over the age of 16 participated in. After donating blood, the donators were offered refreshments and stickers. The donated blood is to be used in blood transfusion or medical research.
First Meeting of New Term
The first key club meeting lead by our new officers occurred this past week on April 3. One of our main goals this year is to increase our member participation. We have many key club members but very few go to key club events and meetings. To change this we will now be doing various new activities during our key club meetings to get out members more involved, excited, and comfortable into our white tigers family! One of our new activities includes various ice breakers the officers will lead and incorporate other members to join. One of our ice breakers featured our officers going up to various key club members with pick-up lines. The purpose of this ice breaker is to be able to complete this activity without ever laughing and successfully turn down the person hitting on you with a straight face. This includes smiling! It was a very difficult task to keep a straight face,
but we did have a few successful key club members. Nevertheless, we all enjoyed this ice breaker and it bonded our club as whole even closer together. Another one of our activities included more chants and cheers to show our members. The new cheer we learned this week was "More pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!". The point of this cheer is to successfully be able to yell this cheer out repeatedly with the appropriate hand signals. It may seem like an easy task, but it is certainly not. But despite the difficulty in this chant, all the key club members enjoyed as the officers began to chant! All in all, we had a very successful first meeting after DCON with our new officers leading!
On April 6, Saturday, a fun bowling fundraiser was held by the Division Kiwanis group to celebrate Kiwanis One Day and to raise money to support the Painted Turtle. The fee for bowling was $25 and helped to give kids with special medical needs a fun time and camp experience. The Santa Clarita Kiwanis Clubs and the Santa Clarita Aktion Club worked together to make this event a success. Piz
Pizza was provided for lunch and included in the $25 payment fee and at the end of the day, awards were given out for High Game and High Series.
The 2013 Key Club International Convention is a great way to meet Key Clubbers from around the world. This great event will take place in the summer, July 3-7 in Washington DC, at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Early bird registration ends May 17 and the price for the early bird tour is $175 and after May 17 it will rise to $215.
Project EliMiNaTe What is Project EliMiNaTe? Project Eliminate is a five year international fundraising initiative. Every nine minutes a baby dies from Maternal Neonatal Tetanus, that's about 60,000 deaths a year that both include the mother and the baby.
The cost of a vaccine? For a smaller price than two bags of chips, a sandwich, or a beverage, $1.80 covers the cost of immunizing one mother. Once the mother is immunized, all of her future babies will now be immune from Tetanus.
Our goal? ELIMINATE MNT from the world by 2015.
Service Project Idea: Baby Bottles for Project Eliminate Clubs can obtain baby bottles (buy them from the dollar tree) for their members. The members can then go around school asking for donations or any loose change for a few weeks and help save babies and their mothers!
Region 7 Crewnecks This year, Region 7 will be opening up Region 7 Crewneck submissions to members. If you want to see your design on many many Key Clubbers then you should definitely submit a design! The winner gets a free crewneck! May 4th, 6:00 pm: Submissions Deadline After all submissions are turned in, they will be compiled into a survey and Region 7 members will be able to vote. (: All submissions need to be turned into region07.cnhkc@gmail.com

Dear Paolo,
To Vance, You're oh, so fab I just can't. Love, Vance
WHERE DO I EVEN START. From our first time meeting (if you can call it that, since you mostly just ran up to me and told me I looked like Christina lol) to now you have given me so many memories! It sucks that you are a senior. Who's going to make up a language with me or be crazy and stress out with me? Who's going to mermaid dance with me? HOW WILL I EVER FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN CHOKE ON THEIR OWN TONGUE? ^^ You have been such an amazing friend to talk to and to get advice from and I'm glad that we became such good friends this year. I seriously hope we keep in touch because I need someone to have GIF wars with! I hope that the people at college don't "treat you like a third world animal" ahahah. I cannot fit all the memories and laughs we had here, but I just want to thank you for making this key club year so fun! CRUSHED IT, Jinny Lee P.S.- I'm also good at pirate dancing.
Dear senior white tigers, Even though this is the farewell letter, is it really farewell for good? Remember, once a Key Clubber, always a Key Clubber! I was sooo honored to have been able to grow as a person with you guys, and I know that we will all do great things in the future. From the first Key Club event to the last, I have had the pleasure of being a part of this division with you all. Events like Fall Rally and DCON, AIDS Walk and Ohana Night, and those DCM's we've had at Dockweiler, those are all memories that I will remember forever. All the laughs we've shared, the awkward moments, the inside jokes, the rants to release stress...all of it, i will seriously miss. Good luck with your future, seniors. Hopefully we'll come across each other at some point again:) Love,
