key club moment My Key Club moment was honestly the first DCM that I attended. I’ve heard about many positive things about Key Club in middle school, so when I heard about the first August DCM of my freshman year, I made sure to attend with my friends. I believe there were ice breakers, water balloon fights, and chants. As it was the very beginning of my freshman year, the DCM was a high school experience that I had never seen before. I was surrounded by tons of upperclassmen who knew way more information about Key Club. It was amazing to see such a huge group of high schoolers join together to make the world a better place by serving their community. The more knowledgeable Key Clubbers never hesitated to help me when I was confused about an aspect of Key Club. I had a great time that day and seeing this positive, supportive community was a clear sign to me that Key Club would be a huge part of my upcoming high school years.

My key club moment this year was service week. Times like this can be hard for one to communicate while doing service. Luckily I had a chance to unmute my mic in this event and has the confidence to speak out about myself and what service means to me. The LTGs were really supportive and encouraging throughout the whole week. They did an amazing job putting this together and make service fun as always! I recommend joining any event to members because you will learn a lot about others and how key club is in general. Hope everyone had an amazing day!
- Stella Torres On an early morning, I rubbed my hands together to prevent them from becoming numb from the freezing, cold air. I had woken up at 6am on a Sunday morning, which was definitely not an easy task. However, serving at the Emergency Food Bank made waking up early and experiencing the cold worthwhile. Volunteers were tasked with the responsibility of distributing boxes of food for low income families in preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was grateful for the opportunity to spread holiday kindness and contribute to the efforts of feeding families. Volunteers helped make a nice holiday meal a reality for many families. I had the drive to continue leaving a positive impact within my others’ lives and Key Club helped me grow this passion. - Sarah Ung
region 16
candidate training conference
On December 12th, 2020 from 9 AM to 3 PM, Region 16’s annual CTC took place on the Zoom platform. During this conference, the LTG’s of our region collaborated to produce an event that aimed to educate members about the duties of an LTG, and how they can begin their LTG candidacy process. The event started with a few workshops that covered topics such as Challenges and Rewards of Being an Lt. Governor, Duties of a Lt. Governor, and A Lt. Governor’s Role in Key Club. After these presentations were given by their respective presenters, a breakout room session occurred that allowed members to interact with current Lt. Governors in a more intimate setting for detailed responses to their questions. During this time, I was able to learn a lot about the personal experiences of the LTG managing my room, and I believe that this aspect of the event was extremely beneficial to attendees! Once this time was over, we held a break session, then proceeded to our last three presentations of the event: Preparing for Conclave, Effective Communication and Structure, and Key Club Ethics. We had one last breakout room session for any last questions from attendees to current Lt. Governors, then it was time for a mock caucus question session! This segment of the event was the most exciting for me. The atmosphere was full of adrenaline: attendees were encouraged to challenge their stage fright and volunteer to be asked a possible Conclave caucus question as practice. Personally, it took a lot out of me to hurriedly type the “me” in the Zoom chat to volunteer, but I am so glad that I took the chance! Other attendees were very supportive of each other as each volunteer was asked a random caucus question from a Lt. Governor or Mr. Mercado, and that was truly memorable. The positive feedback from those in the chat after I answered my own question made me happy. This event was so well executed, and I appreciate the Lt. Governor and advisors’ efforts in educating members about the Lt. Governor position!

grizzly x grinch december dcm
On December 19th, 2020 from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM, Division 27 North hosted a December DCM that revolved around Christmas! This event took place on the Discord platform. At the beginning of the event, the LTG Sebastian went through our usual Division Council Meeting procedure. After hearing the updates from clubs and giving updates about the division and district, we transitioned to the service aspect of our meeting. For this DCM, we created festive cards for a local elderly center. We crafted these cards as a streaming of The Grinch was on. The cute Dr. Suess movie that was playing and the holiday cards that I was crafting combined to create an ideal cozy holiday atmosphere! This DCM was a great way to spend a Saturday in December.

For the month of December, the club put together a drive to bring in donations for the Salvation Army, while keeping it as safe as possible for everyone. People from Lodi and surrounding areas could text a number or send a direct message on Instagram with their name, address, and what they would be donating. Then on December 12, several members would drive to these addresses and pick up the donations from their doorsteps, making sure there was as little contact as possible. There were a lot of donations, including non perishable food, jackets, socks, and other warm clothes that were able to be donated to the Salvation Army and given to those who need it during the winter. In a recent meeting, a spokesperson from the Salvation Army attended and showed gratitude for the donations that were given through this drive. - Phoebe Kaye Dupa

friends of the library
Stockton Friends of the Library Stockton Friends of the Library holds many positive impacts within the community. It serves as a place where the public can explore shelves of books containing dozens of genres. Whether it be exploring cookbooks, or diving deep into a fantasy book, or finding the perfect classic novel to read beside a fireplace, Friends of the Library is a bookstore loved by many. Donated books find its home in the hands of a new owner, and Friends of the Library serves to make reading more accessible to the public at an affordable price. Volunteers help shelve, price, and sort the books that would make their way to the community. By lending a helping hand to this public library, volunteers are helping to reinforce the importance of reading to the community. - Sarah Ung
