LTG'S WELCOME Hello Everyone!! How is your summer break going? Mine is good so far with a bunch of tasks I need to complete and catch up on.
Since it's summer, be sure to utilize your time wisely and have a Summer of Service!! Key Club is a year-round club and organization, so there are always events and things to do!! Give back to your community during this time while having fun with your friends and spending time with family.
I encourage you to set goals in the future. How many service hours do you want to accomplish? How many people do you want to meet and impact? How many Division events do you want to attend? Are you saving up to attend Region Training Conference, Fall Rally North, and District Convention? It can be as simple as wanting to attend one service event each month.
Please enjoy this month's edition of the Llama Legends!!!
Ready with a SMILE, Christy Wong Division 2 South Lieutenant Governor 2019-2020

EDITOR'S NOTE Hey Llamas!! Welcome to the third issue of this term! Can you believe that we are basically done with the first quarter? :0Â I hope that you guys are staying motivated despite it being summer vacation!
Throughout the term, I want to make my newsletters based on the wonders of nature because the world is beautiful in its natural state. This month's theme is beaches/sand because July is the perfect time to go sunbathe and enjoy the beauty of beaches!
Thank you to everyone who attended the June DCM in Castro Valley! Although it was terrifying to watch others get pied (and myself), it was still a blast :) I'm still very socially awkward but don't be scared to approach me if you see me haha. As always, feedback will be greatly appreciated! Just shoot me a message on FB or IG (if you can find me teehee <3).
See you in the next issue!

CLUB REPORTS ARROYO Over the month of May, our club did not have the best month. We only had a total of eight events and two events were cancelled due to not enough members showing up. Although we had many downsides to this month,we also had our first general meeting of the term this month and the turnout of member attendance was pretty high. It had a much greater percent of attendance than our meetings from the past term. We believe that this month was a month to learn from our mistakes and fix them for the future term. We believe that with more member communication and recognition, we will be able to increase the percent of member attendance and have a higher amount of active paid members this term. Our goal will be to have at least five events each month and although we did find five events this month, only three of the five went through and with this, we strive to improve and not have any more events cancelled in this new term. Finally, with this, we strive to improve in these upcoming months with new fundraisers and more events to come.

CASTRO VALLEY This month, we've had five service events, and members had a lot of fun at each one. Everyone got to bond and meet many new people. At the Vanoy Courgarthon, we were surrounded by many kids walking and running; helped supervise the track in case anyone got hurt. We also helped serve kids and made many colorful snow cones. At the Bay Bridge Half Marathon, we helped pass out and sort medals for the runners. At the Salvation Army Food Sharing, we worked with our Kiwanis and local Salvation Army to sort food. The Uhuru Pies event was super fun, there was a lot food not only to serve, but to also eat. We helped cook and serve foods such as salads and burgers with other schools. The Member of the Month is Rafael Antipuesto. He has been extremely active this month with a total of 29.5 hours, and attending more than half of the service events. At the end of the month, we announced our fundraising chair, Brandon Gee. Even though he has just been assigned this positions, he has already been hard at work looking for fundraisers.
17
ENCINAL This month we had no events. However, elections and banquet proved to be a huge success this month. Elections ran smoothly, everyone ran unopposed except for the position for president. While it was a close call, Sarah, our president from our last term, won. At banquet, we were pleasantly surprised with multiple awards! One of our awards that we received were for Llama Points, exemplifying our club's punctuality in terms of turning in our reports on time. Furthermore, our present and former officers received awards! Jackson received the Outstanding Editor award, Mandy received the Outstanding Treasurer, Lisa received Outstanding Secretary, and Jeffrey Smith received Outstanding Advisor. For the upcoming month, we'll definitely be having events as well as a board meeting to clear up any miscommunications.
18
LEADERSHIP PUBLIC SCHOOLS - HAYWARD This month we attended the eLEMONate dcm and ate a bunch of lemons, some were sweet but others were really sour. We then had our takeover where we raised around $330! At the end of the month we organized an ice cream and brownie fundraiser where we raised $55 for our club!
SAN LEANDRO In the month of May, San Leandro Key Club had 5 service events and 2 fundraisers. We definitely had more active members this month compared to April and we're so glad to see the continous growth of our club. Also, during the May DCM, San Leandro Key Club received the club of the month recognition. We are so grateful and happy to receive this award for this reflects all our hard work this month. Finally, our officer of the month is Kim Lund, San Leandro Key Club's Fundraising Chair while member of the month is Alex Modena, although this month has been really hectic for everyone considering that it's the last few weeks of school they were still able to to show their passion in Key Club and be really exceptional. The month of May has been really eventful for San Leandro Key Club yet very fulfilling.
19
SAN LORENZO Although San Lorenzo did not have many events this month we tried to help out in our school communities as much as possible. We helped as much as we could around school by joining the Druids club in recycling around campus. We also helped our Druids club put on a Native Plant Sale for the San Lorenzo community, member worked as well as had some fun with the bee keeper that was at the event. To end the month members went to donate blood at a blood drive put on at our school by the Red cross.

MAY
CLUB
REPORT
By: Meilin Beloney, Alameda For the month of May, Alameda Key Club attended eight events, which were Oakland First Friday, Bay Area Book Festival, Cohen Bray House two times, Food Pantry, Lei Making, Alameda Bike Rodeo, and Uhuru Kitchen Cooking. At the Bay Area Book Festival, key clubbers helped at different stations around the festival. These stations included selling merchandise and ushering event attendees into the theater. With the end of the school year approaching, Alameda Key Clubbers gathered at Gong Cha after school for three days to make ribbon leis for the graduating seniors. With the help of our members, we were able to make 75 leis, which officers then sold the following week. Alameda Key Club was also able to hold a two-day fundraiser at Gong Cha, which key clubbers attended after school and after our May DCM. At the last general meeting of the school year, we said goodbye to our graduating seniors and prepared for a summer of service!

MAY-JUNE
ARTICLE
By: Alexandra Reyes, Arroyo In the month of May-June, Arroyo Key Club held their first general meeting for the 2019-2020 term on May 29th, 2019! In this meeting, we introduced the new board and their positions, as well as upcoming events and awards for outstanding key club members. We also had the former president and the former ltg come and get their board gifts. During this meeting, many key clubbers came and it was a total success. In this month, we had a total of 5 service events, 1 division fundraiser and 1 fundraiser for Arroyo Key club. The 5 service events Arroyo key club held were, Kipp King Night Market, Post Office Food Drive, Hawaiian May Day Festival, Cherry Festival, and San Leandro Library Carnival. The two fundraisers was the elemonate challenge and selling leis for the Arroyo High School Graduation. The Elemonate Challenge is Key Club International working with UNICEF to help raise money to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Every 15 minutes, a newborn dies from tetanus and with this fundraiser, Key Club International is planning to raise 700,000 dollars to help the newborns. This fundraiser was held from May 6th to May 10th and asked Key Clubbers with a different task each day to raise money. For example, one of the days was to record yourself eating a slice of lemon and post it to raise awareness on the cause. We also had to challenge three people to do the same challenge to keep the challenge going to raise money. For the Kipp King Night Market, Arroyo was invited by Kipp King to help with this event. There was live music, food, Art galleries, and so much more! Arroyo Key Club helped make and pass out the delicious food they had. We also got to enjoy the shows, the people were performing while volunteering. At the end, the volunteers were given food and was overall, a great volunteer event. The Cherry Festival is an annual festival in downtown San Leandro that sells cherries, has many booths, food, dance and singing performances, and lastly rides. In this event, Arroyo Key Club volunteered for meals for wheels by walking down the parade in food costumes and giving out flyers and candies. At the end of the parade, we were able to walk around and enjoy the festival.

FRUITFUL
BIKING
By: Jane Chang, Castro Valley A day after the May DCM, volunteers from schools of Division 2 South made their way to Alameda for the Bike Rodeo and Festival. Upon arrival, we were assigned to do helmet fitting, be course supervisors, or go to the bike decorations area. However, we were able to move around the stations to see if others needed help if we didn’t have much to do at the time. I was assigned to helmet fitting, where I helped kids choose the right sized helmet for them and talk about safety on the roads when riding bikes. There was a long chalk course where we could guide the children as course supervisors. It’s important to educate children to wear helmets and look for stop signs and bike lanes so that they can be safe on the roads. We didn’t only get to teach, but we also learned interesting things as well. I vividly remember making smoothies with bikes wheels; we would put fruits in the blender and the back wheel of the bike would power the blender. Then, we would give little shots of fruit smoothie to those who wanted them and came first, and start the process over again. After 3 hours of hard work, we were treated with delicious and savory tacos. We felt extremely grateful for how kind the event coordinator was and how delightful the event was. We were able to bond with members throughout the division and see the smiles on children and adults as well. If possible, it would be great if this could be an annual event for Key Clubbers to attend again next year!

BEACH
CLEANUP
By: Jackson Michniak, Encinal This month our Key Club hosted our first beach cleanup of the term. We hosted a few in the previous term, and they were some of our most successful events. They are easily accessible, fun, and help out the local and marine community. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to go to the beach to work instead of play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invigorating and fulfilling.

By: Andrei Corocoto, San Leadnro May Club Update: For the month of May, we had 6 people attend the eLEMONate Challenge in the Old Alameda High Gym. Our club has achieved "Club of the Month" for the month of May for participating in several events. On May 19th KIPP KING let us volunteer to assist them in their night market. Starting May 18th we started selling graduation leis and all proceeds would be donated to PTP. May 24th was our last general meeting which we began to wrap up the 2018-2019 term. Our school has an annual festival during school called Quadchella where various groups and clubs come together raising funds at the same time selling food and drinks. We contributed to this school event selling spam musubi for 3$ each. When selling spam musubi we got more people to sign up for Key Club next year. June 8th we have an event at Oakland School for the Arts where we will be helping them move art supplies for the summer term.

PRAISIN'
THE
ASIAN
By: Melanie Siu, KIPP King May was Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. To celebrate Asian culture, KIPP King held its very own API Night Market. This was an interclub event with Arroyo and San Leandro Key Club, and of which we were able to bring about 30 volunteers! Volunteers helped with games, food booths, sign-ups, stage management, etc. Key Clubbers even put in the effort to have fun at the event, as some competed in a lip sync battle, hyped up performers, enjoyed art at the art show, played games, and so much more. This event consisted of delicious Asian food, live performances, fun games, and overall brought so many smiles to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces. Although volunteers were stressed with preparation and set up for the night market, it was all worth it at the end, seeing how successful the event was. Volunteers from other schools were able to make new friends and grow closer to each other. Seeing all the hugs and smiles going around made people realize how full of love Key Club is and inspired others to attend future events.
