THE EDITOR
Hey Ellies!
I hope you guys are adjusting well as you start school online! I know these times seem tough right now, but I know we can pull through it and make the best of it! I’m so proud of everyone for keeping their service during the summer despite the quarantine. I’ve seen many of you guys at events and it’s great to see this trend continue. With that, the September issue of the Ellie Editorial focuses on certain projects and service that is creation based. You will get to see how certain clubs did food drives to face shield making and making origami cranes either physically or digitally. As well, our Spotlight of the Month is one of our CNH preferred charities, the Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP). I hope you guys stay healthy and well, and enjoy this issue of the Ellie Editorial.

THE LTG
What’s Poppin’ Ellies! I hope you all enjoyed your summer! I will definitely say it went by in a breeze. I wish you all the best as you are heading into the school year. I know everything is overwhelming with distance learning but I know the Ellies of Division 35 East are resilient and you all are capable! Please remember during this time to take breaks if you need them, do not stress too much, drink water, and you are not alone. Everyone understands and feels the same way. If you ever want to rant to someone or have a nice chat, don’t be afraid to reach out; I promise I’m not scary. On another note, a new school year means that club rush and member recruitment is coming up! We want to aim to recruit new members this year despite the pandemic and the obstacles of distance learning. Please encourage as many people as you can and use all your connections to motivate people to join Key Club. We’ve all had amazing and impactful experiences in this organization and we want others to experience it as well! I am so, so proud and thankful for every one of you. I understand that this is not what we wanted in our term to look like but we have made the best of it, and soon I know we will see each other again. But until then, let us do our best to make an impact from our homes! See you all soon! <3 Proudly Serving 35 East,
Hilary Wong Division 35 East Lieutenant Governor

PROJECT 29:11 In the past month, our club hosted an event called Project 29:11 Food Drive in which members would compile a kit filled with prepackaged, non-perishable food. The kits would then be donated to a nonprofit local food bank called Project 29:11 whose vision is for â&#x20AC;&#x153;every individual [to] experience dignity, hope and empowerment to improve their quality of life.â&#x20AC;? Some items that were included in the kits were cereal, snacks, crackers, dried foods, nuts, dried goods, canned foods and peanut butter but were not limited to those items. Members had the choice of having an officer pick up and drop off their packages for them or drop off their packages themselves at the food bank. Our club coordinated a designated time with the food bank for dropping off all the packages on July 21st at 9am. In total Walnut Key Club donated 19 kits to Project 29:11.

MAKING
TOY
On the 26th of July, Rowland Key Club had their service week from July 26th to August 1st. Members attended the zoom on the 26th to learn how to make dog toys from T-shirts. Majority of the shirt would be utilized, only leaving the sleeves and collar left. These dog toys would be mailed to the VIDA Animal Shelter where dogs can have newer toys to play with. At the end, we played icebreakers which consisted of “Name the Pet” and “Would you Rather?” questions. A member, Anna Morrisseau, states “Since we couldn’t volunteer at the animal shelter, it was a fun event to use up old shirts to create toys that will make dogs very happy.” The dogs would be delighted to be able to get more handmade toys that were made with care in the members mind! -Li Min Lin, Rowland Editor
face shield
MAKING This month, Northview key Club held a face shield service event. During these difficult times, many convalescent homes are having a shortage of medical supplies due to COVID, because residents are at higher risk and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have the right medical equipment to protect them. Our goal this month was to build and donate face shields to local convalescent homes. Members who participated received a bag full of supplies, the bags consisted of plastic hanger straps, zip ties, rubber bands, and plastic covers. These items were used to build face shield and were later picked up and taken to Atria Covina Senior Living and other local homes. -Dayana Pamplona, Northview Historian

CRANE CREATIONS This month our club hosted a cranes for kids events that allowed key clubbers to fold swans and donate them to those at Pomona Valley Hospital. Learning and folding cranes during our zoom call, as well as out of the zoom call. Although the process was slow at first everyone in the call towards the end figured the folding out, and mailed to Pomona Valley Hospital. Michele Lam, South Hills President stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank everyone for coming to our Cranes for kid event, it went great thanks to our officers as well as Mr. Olsen There was much confusion with the folding at first but we figured it out towards the end!â&#x20AC;? -Matthew Zhong , South Hills Editor
After our first service week, we had lots of positive feedback on how fun and simple it was and hoped to have that again! Before the first week of August, we held our second service week with Rice Race and Cranes4Cancer. On the mobile app Rice Race, members would help a penguin on a balloon collect rice, which would then be donated. As for the Cranes4Cancer website, members could create digital origami cranes with a kind message attached which would be shared to cancer patients. Members had the choice of participating in one or both options. Looking over the Google form submissions, I am super proud of every single member who helped with over ten hours of donating rice and sharing origami crane creations! -Sarah Phan, Covina Editor

COMEDY NIGHT
The Division Comedy Night was so much fun! We all collaborated and shared jokes to construct our own joke books and then sent them to children in hospitals. Hopefully the kids got a laugh out of our jokes! It was very relaxing to just lean back and attempt to make others laugh. Everyone had such a good time while doing priceless service! â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Comedy Night was very relaxing and everyone was super funny!â&#x20AC;? -Marcus Fang, Diamond Bar Kiwanis Family Chairperson
JULY DCM

On July 25, 2020 Division 35 East held its July DCM with a Bob Ross tutorial. Members followed one of Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tutorials to paint a mountain sunset landscape. Members used different methods to create their art from using paint, to colored pencils and markers, to even using digital art. At the end of the DCM, everyone shared their work of art. As well, the art members made will go to a nonprofit organization, Helping Hands of America. -Edward Garcia, Walnut Cabinet Member

ELLE INSIDER: What is a major aspect or highlight of Key Club that made you join?
“Fiunding out that I could make new friends and getting to go volunteer helping that was the reason why I join as well as the friends I had within the club already!” -Anthony Vu South Hills Event coordinator “Key Club is a place that offers new friendships and events where I am able to give back to the community in a fun way.” -Angie Hernandez, iPOLY General Member
“One of the biggest highlights as to why I joined Key Club was because of all the opportunities to get involved. Right now, it’s especially difficult to be actively engaged in the community, but Key Club allowed us to do it in a safe manner while still keeping us active in the community.” -Christopher Sanchez, Northview General Member “Major aspect of key club that made me join was the variation of community service events. In many ways, it has taught me that there are several ways to connect with your community and be involved. Also the whole idea of seeing the reaction of the people we have helped always makes me smile and to aspire to continue doing these types of services with my friends. ” -Gabriella Rojas, Northview Treasurer
