Hello Yeti’s! When you are advertising your clubs event’s, it’s important to make sure all of your resources are covered– posters up, event in the newspaper, your contact list texted, there is a tweet about your event, the event becomes your Facebook status– in other words have the word out there about your event. That’s extremely important, correct? Well it’s the same when it comes to your club and Division 23’s Newsletter! Advertising your club, showing off your club, telling D23 what your members think of Key Club, is extremely important. Do you keep secrets from your family? Okay, well some you do, but that is besides the point. Most “secrets” you have, you share with your family. Key Club is one of your families. Why keep secrets for your KC family– your Yeti family? Communication is KEY- especially when you are a part of the largest geographical division in the CNH District! Email me (lillampee@gmail.com), Text me (775-625-0568), your club news, pictures, articles, quotes, ANYTHING send it to me! If your club has a newsletter, email it to me! I would love to read it! Let’s share everything we’ve got with our yeti family.

On Sunday, September 11, Key Clubbers from North Valleys, Reed, Reno, and Wooster attended a Division Council Meeting at the Sparks Marina. At 1:00pm we opened with an Ice Breaker “2 truths and a lie." This was followed by a discussion of how to keep members interested in Key Club, successful fundraising ideas, and finally Fall Rally. Fall Rally will be October 29th at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Most of the details have been decided and they are as follows: All Key Clubbers attending Fall Rally will be at Earl Wooster High School at 5:30am. There, we will get on a bus and the bus will be leaving the parking lot at 5:59am. On the bus ride to Vallejo, CA, members may sleep, relax, "chill," and such. We will arrive at Six Flags around 9:30am. From there, members will go into the auditorium where the rally is held and Spirit Battles will rise, and District Board Members will be bought with money raised for the Pediatric Trauma Program. Around 12:00pm, everyone will be set loose into the park. We will leave around 9:30 or 10:00 and will arrive back in Reno from 12:001:00am. If needed, the return time is subject to change. Other news: it will be approximately $80 per member to attend. Please contact your club President for more details! Division t-shirt designed by Truman Chan and another spirit item will be included with this price. We ended the DCM with a great game of volleyball! Thank you to all that attended. I hope I see more Yetis at the next DCM!
It’s our LtG, Alyssa Yocom! Most people will need to tilt their head slightly down to see me. I walk like I'm on a mission and I'm usually wearing flip-flops and a Key Club shirt! Life is about being comfortable and putting little effort into getting ready in the morning. I walk around with a smile on my face and my green-hazel eyes glisten in the sunsets I watch almost every night.
I never wear makeup, because I like looking natural. Some people may call me a hippy. I enjoy boot-cut jeans and tie-dye shirts when I'm not sporting my San Francisco Giants or Wooster Volleyball gear. I have long blonde hair and blue eyes and people would know its me because I am always acting very theatrical. I have a very freespirited and care-free attitude!
Is it Alli Lampshire? People can easily tell I am me by my carit is the only purple car in Winnemucca. Typically I am in jeans, flip-flops or black converses', a shirt- usually colorful or semi -formal for wearing around school. I always straighten or curl my hair- very rarely I will let the wind flow through my natural curly hair. I have been told I have very bright blue eyes. Oh and the easiest way a person can tell I am Alli Lampshire is by my height; when your looking for me, look up for my head.
You know it’s Mr. Mike... If a random person saw me wandering, they would recognize me by my beard (on and off but mostly on for 50 years) and glasses. I am usually wearing jeans and a polo shirt and my hair (\what's left) and beard are almost totally white.

“GET READY FOR THE YETI”
Hello Division 23 Yetis! Hopefully you are all enjoying this school year! Although this school year will be filled with an abundance of hard work, this Key Club year is going to be filled with fun events, service opportunities, club socials, and many, many memories! Key Club is the perfect vacation from school’s everyday routine. Serving the community while bonding with friends gives off an absolutely MAGICAL feeling! So set aside some time in your busy schedule to get out and serve others. Not only does it help: it feels good! Each club has many service projects that they will partake in. Also, the Division Leadership Team is planning a few service opportunities for all of the clubs to come together such as: River Clean Up, Philanthropic Fundraising for the Pediatric Trauma Program, JDRF Walk for Life, Trick or Treat for UNICEF, Philanthropic Fundraising for The Eliminate Project, and more. Attending Division Council Meetings (DCM) is another great way to meet Key Club members from all over Region 6! At DCMs we discuss upcoming service and fundraising opportunities as well as hold short workshops to help each club. Beyond that- DCMs are a great opportunity to gather ideas from other clubs about things that may work for you home club. Region 6’s Region Training Conference will be held at the University of Nevada, Reno on October 23rd from 12:00-4:00. This conference will provide each member with the opportunity to learn a lot about Key Club, themselves as leaders, as well as play games and meet others from our Region. Our California-Nevada-Hawaii District Governor Erinn Wong will be joining us as well. So mark your calendars for a great day! I have highlighted some of the great events that we have going on for this year! As your Lieutenant Governor, I am here to serve YOU. So, if you have an idea, want to get more involved, have any questions or comments: please contact me at any time!
JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes will be held at the University of Nevada, Reno on October 9th at 10:00am. This service event raises money to cure Diabetes. Our division will have a team. Following this event, a DCM will be held at UNR. Please contact your club
Hi there D23! I challenge each of you to send me an email (d23.cnhkc.ltg@gmail.com) telling me why you joined Key Club! I can't wait to hear from you all! Example: I joined Key Club because I love to help others because of the feeling I get from service
Division 23 Events Car Wash– by Danielle Kovaltchouk Saturday September 17, Wooster and Reed High Schools got together at Wooster and held a Car Wash from 9-3 to raise money to go to Fall Rally. We made $358 total and we split the money evenly between the two schools. I personally liked the car wash because it got everyone to work together and let people make new friends with people that didn't even go to their own school. It was a great day and everyone had a blast.

Things have been very busy for Elko High's Key Club lately. They volunteered at the Buckaroo Breakfast over Labor Day weekend, worked at concession stands for two football games, and volunteered at the Morroders Car Club Breakfast. Elko is very happy to finally have boy members in the club; I've been told by several Kiwanis members that this is a rare occurrence. Over the next two weeks, they’ll be working at the Fall Festival (making paper pumpkins for children), and also volunteering at the Balloon Festival Breakfast. September is a busy month. Just like Elko, Lowry is very happy to see guys show up! Lowry was worrying they’d have to call it quits if students showed up to their first meeting on September 8, 2011. They had a taco night, that night (raised funds for Fall Rally) and they were surprised new, potential members showed up! They are getting ready for more fundraisers for Fall Rally.
Elko Indians!
Reminder from D23’s Leadership Team
Lowry Buckaroo’s!
With Key Club, school, family, and social activities going on don’t forget to take a breather. Take a moment to simply relax. Try not to feel overwhelmed: have others help you! Key Club is one large Ohana. As best stated by Lilo, “'Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.” We are all here for you so use our support!
Hello Key Clubbers! My name is Lindsey Newman and I am the Executive Assistant of the Key Club District 23. As you may or may not know, one of our main focuses this year is to raise money for PTP (Pediatric Trauma Prevention). The Kiwanis Organization has recognized that the number one killer of children under the age of 14 is unintentional injury and that 90% of these deaths can be prevented. PTP provides funding to local hospitals for training in the pediatric trauma wings. With that being said, we need to get started on fundraising! The following list offers creative ideas for all clubs in the division and there may need to be contact with bigger, local businesses. So, let’s get started and have fun. -Our own Cupcake Wars: Teams pay a fee to enter and the winners get cash or other cool prize. -Bidding for mystery dish: Auction for home-made meals. -Restaurant percentage: For a day (or longer) a restaurant can give us 10% off of every meal they serve. Contact local restaurants for permission. -Eating contest: hot dogs or pies, contestants pay a fee and the winner gets a prize. -Photography or art contest -Baby Pageant contest: mothers love this. To do this, we would have to get a location and lots of advertising. -Mini Golfing PGA tour: You could use almost any mini golfing facility in town and have a tournament. Contact Wild Island, etc. -Desert tasting: Get your club members to make yummy desserts and get people to pay a fee to come in and have some tasty treats (bite sized?) -White Elephant raffle. Have mystery items placed in boxes of various sizes and colors- raffle them off. Half the fun is seeing what you end up with!
