What's up Grizzlies?!
Hey Grizzlies!
I can't believe it's already in the new year! This year so far has been a blast, and it would have been extremely different without you.
I hope everyone has been having a BEARy great winter break! It is crazy to think that 2020 is here! I hope that everyone’s New Years has been excellent as well! Here’s to another amazing year of Key Club.
Time is going to be filled up with elections, finalizing DCON, and serving! Start thinking about what you want to run for. There is plenty of opportunities to get involved like Lt. Governor, Club Board, DLT, and District Leadership Team! Start to formulate what you want to fix in your club and educating yourself about the position. Don't forget about DCON either! DCON is in less than 3 months! Make sure to pay for registration and hotels if you haven't yet. There is still plenty to do, so make sure you are looking at our social media and asking your board about upcoming service and events.
There are many things coming up such as DCON and officer elections. There is still so much left to do! In the newsletter, these subjects are further explained and clarified. For those who are contemplating on whether or not they should run for an officer position, I highly suggest for you to do it! It is an eye-opening experience. Considering on running is the first step, all that is left is to run! Thank you for taking the time to read my newsletters! I hope to see you on my next issue!
Keep up the amazing work grizzlies. Remember to contact me if you have any questions about any positions or need any help.

GRIZZLIES WORKSHOP
Hieu Ho - Middle College Hellooo Grizzlies! In this past month, we held an event called Grizzly's Workshop at Health Careers Academy on December 7th from 12:00 to 2:30 PM. This was one of the events that made me love Division 27 North even more! So many grizzlies came and brought donations such as toys and blankets to be wrapped and given to the less fortunate. We packaged a total of 88 presents, 173 goodie bags, 13 baskets, and 15 gift bags! It was very heartwarming to see members from our division gather and work together to provide a wonderful Christmas season for other children.
There were three different working stations! One station gift-wrapped toys and other miscellaneous things. Another station made gift baskets and filled them with cute necessities such as blankets or socks! The biggest station was making goodie bags filled with notes and candy. This event couldn't have been possible without the help and donations of all the members and advisors that had attended! I hope this event becomes a tradition in Division 27 North! It really brings out the Christmas spirit in everyone!

El Dorado Elementary Gardening Claire Rasamee - SECA Even when others think the rainy weather dampens the day, it brings joy to the growing garden! With the addition of new plants, the soil at El Dorado Elementary School finds the rain necessary. At the elementary school, SECA Key Clubbers are able to provide assistance with other volunteers to tend to the school’s garden. Volunteers work with elementary chil dren, ranging from different grade levels, and mentor them in correctly planting new seeds. “We just finished planting new cabbage, onions, and carrot seeds,” remarks Caitlynn Rasamee, an active member in attending the after school event. The event happens every Thursday from 3:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m., or when the children go home. It is an ongoing event, which requires the dedication SECA Key Clubbers are willing to exhibit. Volunteers assist in picking out weeds, watering the plants, harvesting, and digging up the soil in order to initiate more planting. During the month, volunteers were able to harvest green beans, tomatoes, and potatoes. Additionally, SECA Key Clubbers pulled out dried up plants or raking up leaves. Certainly, the best part is working with the kids that attend each meeting, which makes the experience more enjoyable.
GIFTS OF GIVING Jaime Wong - Lincoln
On November 17th, people from all over Northern California gathered at Sacramento State to join Circle K for an amazing day together. Regions 9 and 16 were invited to attend and the event was a success! Through random assortment, people were encouraged to meet new people and make long lasting memories and friendships with them! The day started off with members going to their assigned group and meeting their leader as well as others in their group. Then, the rest of the day consisted of stations such as making reindeers, no-sew blankets, socks, and lots of icebreakers and service in general. There were also opportunities for Key Club members to learn more about Circle K members and their experience in and advice for college. People from all over were able to reconnect with friends they may not have seen since Fall Rally or create new bonds. After a long yet eventful day, everyone left home with a little more thankfulness in them as they gave back to the community, just in time for the holidays!
