Hello, Llamas!

dne's note

As basic as it sounds, December has always been my favorite time of the year; I love the weather and the joyousness of the season.

This edition draws inspiration from the cold winter weather and features holiday characteristics like string lights, ornaments, and snowflakes.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue! And I hope you've had a wonderful, stress-free break from school! :) Sincerely, Vy Truong Division 2 South News Editor

uhuru pies "Uhuru" means "freedom" in Swahili. The Uhuru Movement is a worldwide organization, under the leadership of African People’s Socialist Party, uniting African people as one people for liberation, social justice, self-reliance, and economic development. Alameda Key Club has worked closely with this organization multiple times in the past.

Every year we help Uhuru with pie mixing, baking, and selling, for their pie fundraisers. This year the location of the kitchen has been moved to be in Alameda, thus making it super convenient for our members to attend!! So far we have mixed pecan pie batter, pumpkin pie, and various toppings.

When we arrived at the kitchen, we were welcomed generously by the staff. They provided everyone with a name tag, apron, and a brief rundown of the organization's ideology. We were split into pairs to perform various tasks. Each duo had an assigned task: measuring ISSUE 1.7 | PAGE 15

out wet ingredients, measuring out dry ingredients, opening cans, cracking eggs, cutting butter, mixing ingredients, pouring the batter, labeling the containers, and cleaning up. By dividing out the workload, Alameda Key Club was able to mix over 8 buckets of pumpkin pie batter, 8 buckets of pecan pie batter, and 5 buckets of toppings.

We have planned a total of 8 events this season for helping this organization. Our members enjoy participating in this service event as it allows a different working environment. The spaces for pie mixing and selling always fill up because it is so much fun to make and cook with a group of friends!!"

halloween carnival On Friday, October 26, Arroyo Key Club has our annual service event, Halloween Carnival, at Corvallis Elementary School with San Lorenzo Key Club. Volunteers arrived their at 5:15 p.m. and stayed until 9 p.m. First, volunteers helped set up in the gym and in the quads outside. Some volunteers arranged the game booths and some inflated the inflatable decorations while others put up the lights on the fence and railings. After finishing the setup process, the staff and volunteers had a meal together, which consisted of pizza, soda, and other light snacks. After eating, we quickly organized ourselves into the respective stations, and waited for the carnival attendees to arrive. Although all the volunteers ran different booths, the point of each game was the same. Kids lined up in long queues. After finishing each game, they received candy regardless of whether their score and accomplishments. At around 8 p.m, the carnival started to come to a close; we began closing the queues for our station. After all the attendees left, we started to clean up the school. We put the tables and chairs away, picked up trash off the floor, and placed leftover candy where they belong. We placed the tables that were put away back into their original positions. After the clean up ISSUE 1.7 | PAGE 17

process all the furniture, especially those in the gymnasium, looked identical to its beginning position. The carnival coordinators treated the volunteers to candy, ice cream, popsicles, and cold drinks.

Although the event was on a Friday night, all the volunteers enjoyed the Halloween vibes and we all went home happy knowing that we were able to spread happiness to the children. We are glad to have this event at Corvallis, and we look forward to helping out again next year!

club update: Over the month of October, Arroyo Key Club attended a total of 9 events, including Oktoberfest, Halloween Carnival, Spaghetti Feed, Sausage and Suds, Holiday Tradition, Fall Flea Market, Rhythmix Cultural Festival. We also had fundraisers at 8-Twelve and Sharetea.

For the month of November, we had our DCM: Friendsgiving at Boys and Girls Club and DĂ­as de los Muertos Festival.

spooky season It was the month of October and that meant it t’was SPOOKY SEASON!! In Halloween spirit Castro Valley Key Club went to our annual Proctor Halloween Carnival at our local elementary school. This event has always been a popular event because it incorporates community service with fun and games. This year we had a walking group that Audrey led after school because Proctor is right up the street from our high school. Once we were there, we were instantly given tasks such as running games and making sure everyone’s candy basket was full. The carnival lasted for a couple of hours and by the end we were full of the Halloween spirit.

club update: The month of October was full of service and fun! Although officers were busy preparing for FRN to go smoothly, we were able to get six service events! Even at FRN, officer neglected the rides to sell merchandise and we were happy to hear all the love and appreciation from other divisions. For November, we hope to keep up with more service events and fundraisers!

october cleanup This month Encinal hosted a long overdue beach cleanup. The beaches in Alameda are disgusting to say the least, and our club thought it was time to pitch in. The city usually hosts a few every year, but we decided to just host our own. Club members split into groups of 3-4 and got to work one sunny Saturday morning. We filled our trash bags with all sorts of litter. From beer bottles to foam, no trash was safe from our Key Clubbers.

back to school For the month of October, KIPP King Key Clubbers had the opportunity to attend San Leandro’s annual Sausage and Suds music festival on October 7th. The music event had a variety of live performances, artwork, and delicious food. Specifically, we helped out with ticket organization, sample cup distribution, and the #anyonecanpaint collage. Although our shift was over 5 hours long, which included physical labor, our 6 key clubbers pushed through to the end. At the end of the event, we had the time to check out some live musical performances and even danced together! Even after the long 5 hours, we left with a stronger bond with each other and had an greater passion for service.

club update: For the month of October, KIPP King has been incredibly busy in preparation for FRN! We have collaborated with San Lorenzo and Arroyo by hosting an interclub spirit social on October 19th at ISSUE 1.7 | PAGE 21

BY MARIANA SIU, KIPP KING Mervin Morris Park. Additionally, we had 3 service events: Bay Ridge Run, Sausage and Suds, and Dunsmuir Decorations with Alameda!

For Bay Ridge Run, 2 Key Clubbers went to the Lake Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley and managed aid stations for runners! For Sausage and Suds, 7 Key Clubbers went to San Leandro's annual music festival and had fun in working on the #anyonecanpaint board, ticket distributions, and managing sampling cups! Finally, for Dunsmuir Decorations, KIPP King collaborated with Alameda to help out the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate in putting up Halloween decorations in preparation for their Halloween event! We also added the Wonder Woman and Rhymix DWS! For the month of November, we currently do not have any upcoming events.
