AIDS WALK october

11, 2015

Aids Walk was a turn of events for me. I was hoping it would be the best day of the month. However, things didn’t turn out as I expected. First of all,I slept past my alarm which made others wait for me. My entire body was shaking and energetic. Thats the complete opposite of how my body was after Aids Walk. It was fun, and I enjoyed meeting new people, and mdonating money to the disease. Aids Walk did teach me one thing: to never try out for track.

John F. Kennedy “In the beginning of the term, the club I serve struggled with member retention. With a few needed adjustments, our club drastically improved. Many events such as park clean up with Birmingham was one of my favorite events this year because not only did members show up, but along with the officers I serve, we were able to show some of the newer members what it's like to be a Key Clubber. With service and a few ice breakers, Birmingham and Kennedy were able to bond like Ohana that day. I don't care about the numbers and how many members show up to each event, but I care more about how the members I serve view Key Club. Key Club is more than just service, it's a life style. I'm so proud of the members and officers I serve because of the bond that grows each and every day. Our passion to serve is never ending and I believe that we all can finish this term on a strong note. “



Northridge Academy High School

Goals Our club has become very successful in recruiting new members. We have gone from having 5 people at our events to about 15 people. A lot of our new members come to our meetings on Tuesdays but they never seem to show up at our events, which is why we are advertising key club as much as possible. Northridge Academy’s key club has a twitter, face book, and Instagram, all for the purpose of advertising. Volunteering for 5 hours in a marathon doesn’t seem appealing when we talk about it in our meetings but with visual photos we capture the joy in serving our community. This way we could get more of our new members to attend our events and fall in love with key club just like we did when we were new. Overall our club hopes to become better at advertising our events and fundraisers so we can spread the joy of service to our new members.

Officer of the month Christy Seguritan Secretary Christy recently attended the Mason Park Family Fest. This was the first event were our new member had the chance to attend and unfortunately our president couldn’t make it to the event. So Christy had to step up and be the leader. She made sure everyone knew were to go and mostly have fun. “It was really nerve racking having to be the leader in the event because everyone would turn to me for guidance on where to go. It was up to me to make sure the new members had a great time and feel welcomed to Key Club.”, says Christy. Overall Christy did a great job with our new members. She took them to the petting zoo to volunteer for a shift and she said it was really exciting petting goats, bunnies, and alpacas! Everyone seemed to have a smile on their face and a new friend by their side. The spirit of service was with the members and we hope to continue bringing that spirit to our new members every event!

The Stop Cancer walk held on September 20th was one for the books. These types of events where we volunteer for runs/walks typically tend to be my favorites. This one specifically is one of my annual favorites due to the cause it supports. It supports cancers research which I think is very beneficial to many in our community. We are able to give back and help with dancer research by just volunteering handing out medals, water, or helping guide the runners. I always believe in the idea that each little thing we do creates one big impact. -Darren Viloria

My first Region Training Conference was a success, along with having to present for the Region I serve. I have learned and gain so many leadership skills, as I have taught some of my techniques back. As well as that, we had a small spirit battle against 16South! It was great way to include members and know how spirited we are, yet so professional. I can’t wait to use those tricks up my sleeves, for the nearby future! Up until next time, this is your Tech Editor. -Monique Basto.

It’s almost two months into the school year, and I’m so proud of the achievement our Key Club has accomplished. Although we still have a lot to improve, I feel like we’re heading into the right direction. We’ve been planning a lot of events, in the process of several fundraisers, along with trying to get a Kiwanis Advisor. Additionally, our members have been showing their Key Club spirit, which cannot make me any happier.

Ever since the first day Iman showed up to our first meeting, he was always eager to participate and learn more about the club. He always asks questions on how he can become more involved and comes to every meeting and event. He puts a lot of time and effort into the club, and his efforts are not unnoticed.
