Message from the LTG Hello Grizzlies!! It’s December! I hope you are all having a warm and cozy day. This month is one of the happiest months of the year! Although many of you have finals week in a week or two, right after that is winter break! Make sure to keep your head up and crush those finals! Candidate Training Conference (CTC) is this month on December 12th! At CTC, you will be able to learn more about the role of an LTG as well as learn more about Key Club and on the division and district level. Unfortunately, if you are a senior you will not be able to attend. For all the other classes, I hope that you all attend and fill out your MRP!
Anyways, please continue reading this newsletter. Our DNE put hard work into this! Thank you everyone and have a wonderful Christmas and have a happy New Year! - Sebastian Flores

key club ]moment When I was a sophomore, I volunteered at the annual Alzheimer’s Walk here in Stockton along with several of my friends. We signed up for the earliest shift, which started at five in the morning and ended at around two in the afternoon. Usually, I dread having to wake up at incredibly early hours no matter how excited I may be for the day. But showing up at Weber’s Point just before the sunrise and seeing quite a number of volunteers there too was beyond encouraging. Despite how early it was, everyone still worked hard to help set up for the event. This energy, coupled with the significance of the event, made it easier to set up big tents, lift heavy tables, and do everything else that had to be done. Another thing that I found amazing was how everyone was still energized after such a long shift and didn’t show any signs of exhaustion. When it comes to ranking my favorite Key Club moments, this one is definitely up there.
- Angela Dongon For the past 3 consecutive years, I spent the majority of my summer to help students with their academics or simply just to be a friend. My first year, I was assigned to a group of 2nd graders. I was able to help these students with various tasks such as teaching them how to multiply/divide or help them increase their reading ability. Yes, it was indeed hard to give up over 100 hours of my summer but, there was so much that I gained from it that I would 100% do it all over again. At the end of summer school, I truly began to realize the importance of helping. Some students came in being genuinely confused with how to do long division and left as a pro. Each day was a new lesson learned, both for me and the students. This had become my so-called Key Club moment as it gave me the deeper appreciation towards caring and giving back to the community. Without this Key Club moment, I wouldn’t have met all the friends or gained all of these opportunities and skills. Thank you, Key Club!

My name is Loan Tran and I serve as your fundraising task coordinator! My key club moment has always been having the opportunity to serve as at service events. I know it may sound a bit cliche, but I always have truly enjoyed the burst of serotonin whether there was a small or huge accomplishment achieved. I could not bear choosing specific events because they are all unique and one of a kind!These events are all different in their own ways and gave me all different experiences and experiences I’ll never forget. Thank you for listening.

Fall into service Fall Into Service was a fall themed serve-a-thon where Key Clubbers participated in various service projects. Key Clubbers could choose to upcycle mason jars to create flower pots. These would be donated to community florists to hold bouquets of flowers. Another service opportunity was to fold origami bookmarks, which would be donated to a library. Additionally, Key Clubbers folded papecranes to donate to cancer patients and families who wish to gain good luck. Meals on Wheels was another service project where Key Clubbers created Thanksgiving themed placemats and thoughtful cards. These were opportunities for Key Clubbers to express their artistic abilities while serving their community and bonding with others. Many laughs were shared, and funny stories told in breakout rooms. Fall Into Service proved to be a creative way for Key Clubbers to celebrate the fall season and help their community in various ways.

Division Emergency Meeting On October 17th, Saint Mary’s Key Clubbers member’s and board members attended the October DCM via zoom. The beginning of the meeting consisted of each school discussing what each club has accomplished and are working on during the month as well as celebrating member recognition. Following the usual agenda, this DCM took a spooky turn in which break out rooms were made to play games of Among Us and watching Halloween Town. These two events were a perfect and festive way to make new friends
as well as catch up with old ones. “It was really cool playing Among Us with people I had never met before” Key Club member Jacob Esparpza says, “By the end of the meeting I ended up making a lot of new friends.” This DCM was a perfect way of celebrating Halloween safely and festively!

Heavenly hands kitchen Outreach
In the past month, I have volunteered at the Heavenly Hands Kitchen Outreach and Food Pantry twice. On both Saturdays, I would wake up early to be there at 9:30 A.M. and we would begin by making sure everyone put on gloves and social distanced. The ladies would explain what they wanted us to help them with and the volunteers would place themselves in an efficient way to get the work done. The main task was to take all types of food from canned goods to sauces, and sort them into yellow bins. The week after we boxed these foods into cardboard assortments to pass them out equally to the community. They explained that they would pass these boxes to the people in Stockton and the homeless who need help in the winter. I really enjoyed this service event as the welcoming environment made me feel like I was truly making a difference!

Placemats This service project gave us the opportunity to make placemats for a senior home in time for Thanksgiving. Usually Meals on Wheels connects with elementary schools in order to provide enough placemats for their senior citizens; however, with new covid restrictions in place, they were not able to do that this year. I used paper from a sketchbook, coloring pencils, and markers in order to create them. I’m very glad to have been able to help contribute to some of the happiness these placemats bring senior citizens in these lonely unprecedented times.
