message from the ltg Hello Division 27 North Grizzlies! I'm Antonio Quesada, who proudly serves as Division 27 North's Lieutenant Governor! If you are a new member, then feel free to always come up to me at events or text me questions! I am the liason between California-Nevada-Hawaii District and Division 27 North. I help monitor and grow clubs to their full potential as well as planning all Division Council Meetings, Division Events, and fundraisers. We are already in Club Rush Season! How exciting?! Remember, our focus this year is definitely Member Recruitment! Many clubs may have had their club rushes or are coming up soon! Make sure to prepare for them extensively through posters, dressing up, cut outs, food, and spirit! So, if you are an officer or recurring member, then definitely go out there and encourage your friends to join this amazing organization. If you are a new member, then feel free to stay in our lovely family and you won't regret giving us a chance to make your year great! Summer is over sadly, but this means work is going to pile up so make sure to organize and manage your time. We have plenty of fun events coming up like Grizzlies on Ice, DCMs, Spirit Training Conference, Region Training Conference, and much more! We also did amazing over summer with 4.820.5 hours! Keep it up grizzlies, and I hope to see you out there at August DCM!
antonio quesada message from the dne Hey Grizzlies! Summer break is over and school has begun but that doesn't mean Key Club is coming to an end. It's just getting started! It's time to start preparing for club if you have not already and most importantly join if you are a member. The weather lately has been very hot so I suggest keeping hydrated! Hydration is super
important when serving. I hope to see everyone at the upcoming DCM and RTC! Thank you for taking the time to read this month's newsletter and I appreciate all you do!

Region Training Conference (RT C)
“
Now that we are approaching the beginning of the school year, there is one event that we should all be looking forward to: RTC!
what is rtc?
Region Training Conference is training event that helps you learn the basics of Key Club, our mission, how YOU can be involved, and meet people from all over the region. We also have a spirit rally, which we compete for the RTC Spirit Stick.
!
RTC will be held on September 21st from 9am-4pm @ Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove! Our theme this year will be “Service on Paradise Falls!”
why should you attend rtc?
1. 2. 3.
This event allows you to meet people all around our local area and create unique, unforgettable relationships with others. This will allow you to network, enhance your high school experience, and much more. RTC is all about education! There is so much to learn and sometimes its hard to understand it at first. So, this is your chance to learn about this amazing club. If you are curious how to run for positions, do better in your position, fix issues, new service ideas, and much more, then this is the event that will change your life! It is an indescribable experience! The spirit rally is filled with competitive games, awards, and the competition. Yelling with your fellow Key Clubbers to show passionate you are for this organization and getting recognition for it is one of the best rushes you will get.
Structure of Key Club How is key club structured? The structure of Key Club is an inverted triangle. The top being the members because of their importance and size. Next is Division, this includes the DLT, Spirit team, and etc. Next is the District board, this is the Lt. Governors, Leadership Team, District Governor, Secretary, and Treasurer. Then on the bottom is International. This includes International President, Vice President, and the 11 trustees.
Key Club International Partners
A club is a part of a division, which is then a part of a region. Then, that Region is a part of a district. For example, Cesar Chavez is a part of Division 27 North, which is Region 16. Region 16 consists of D27S Koi Fish, D7S Monsters, D7N Bees, D44S Dinosaurs, and D44N Ninjas. Region 16 is a part of the Cali-Nev-Ha District.

Color Splash

I enjoyed my experience at Color Splash very much. It was not only a fun experience for myself but my club as well. We met so many new people and made closer bonds with people from the same division. There was a little confusion with the activities but nothing that changed my perspective on the event. It is an amazing event to show new members and potential new members how fun and exciting Key Club can be. We hope this event inspires more students from our school to join Key Club. It was an experience that I will truly never forget.

Color Splash…What a day to remember! From the time I stepped out of the car, I could already tell it’d be a day I will never forget. To begin, everyone split off into different groups, corresponding to their color, to start icebreakers which encouraged people to communicate and meet others from other divisions and even have a few laughs with them. The day continued as we switched to activities such as a water balloon toss and a relay which, of course, sparked groups to cheer on (pretty loudly) for their group! Then, the most anticipated part of the day arrived… the color throw. As the countdown began, everyone got ready and, all of sudden, the sky filled with color as well as our clothes. The look on everyone’s faces was definitely something I’ll never forget because everyone was smiling and having the time of their lives. Some rushed to take pictures with their friends to commemorate the event and others just began throwing the color at each other. On top of all the fun activities that happened, the LTGs and District Board were also pied! Colorsplash reunited friends from different divisions and schools and even created new friendships. Region 16 finally came back together after a long while and became a family once again. Thank you, Region 16!
Slip into Service

Many key clubbers from Division 27 North gathered at Michael Faklis Park for the slip into service event. This event provided four rounds of different kinds of service like weaving plastic bags, making bracelets, writings cards, and making lollipop flowers that will be donated to a local church. After all the hard work was done volunteers relaxed with pizza donated by the advisors of the event. Water activities such as balloon tosses and sponge games followed. Many were relieved of this opportunity to cool down from the scorching sun. After all that fun in the sun, members had the chance to pie DLT members in the face for only one dollar, and our LTG for three dollars.
July DCM recap

Middle College
The July DCM was held on July 20, 2019 from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M. The DCM portion of the event was held at San Joaquin Delta College. There was a fun competitive ice breaker lead by Sebastian Flores and Hailey Phan. There was a total of over 60 attendees! It was very exciting to see familiar faces from OTC since there was a great amount of people who attended. Moving on the the bowling portion of the DCM, many members walked from Delta College to the bowling alley. It was very hot but the walk was quick. Bowling with
different people from the division allowed for everyone to meet new people and bond with them. It was amazing to walk around and be able to see everyone socialize with other people from different schools. The bowling part of the DCM was a fundraiser to help raise money for PTP and $164 was raised! Thank you to everyone who attended! I hope that you all had an amazing time and I wish to see everyone again at more division events in the future.
Cambodian Experience

middle college
From July 1st to July 5th, Middle College Key Club members volunteered their time at the Cambodian Experience event. There were multiple shifts ranging across the five days, with multiple tasks that had to be done. At the start of the event members set up the different exhibits that reflected the Cambodian’s cultural history. After all was set up, tasks varied. Some gave tours of the exhibits, and others gave presentations. Those who gave presentations had to study information on much of Cambodia’s history, including its traditional music, charcoal paintings of a princess and her significance, wedding ceremonies and clothing, their painting style, and traditional dance clothing. On the last day of the event, our members cleaned up, putting everything neatly away.
