march dcm recap
The annual Color Splash DCM was a fun way to meet new people and old friends across Region 2. We made cards for our Kiwanis and showed our appreciation for the work they have done this term. We played Huggy Bear and eventually did the color splash portion of the DCM. Everyone was brightly colored and we all took photos to show the great time everyone had! -Nick Oligo DLA Service Coordinator

08 | SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE: COMMUNITY OUTREACH
club spotlight: escondido At iHOP Pancake Day, many Key Clubbers came by to encourage customers to donate to Rady’s Children Hospital. It was a delightful experience- many generous souls going out of their way to support the fundraiser. Through brief conversations, customers expressed their gratitude towards the hospital with an occasional story about broken bones here and there. The staff were all very pleasant to work with as we exchanged light hearted jokes to one another. It was also very heartwarming to see so many people show some love towards the hospital and Children’s Miracle Network. And in all seriousness, who would miss the chance to get free pancakes? It was enjoyable experience to say the least. Through everyone’s joint effort, the day concluded with our hearts content and stomachs filled. -Alyssa Jacob EHS Secretary Elect
09 | CLUB SPOTLIGHT: ESCONDIDO
club spotlight: san marcos
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast in San Marcos was one for the books! They had a tremendous turnout with members from SMHS and MHHS Key Club, Future Farmers of America, JROTC, and the Boy Scouts of America. They all worked together to help the efficiency of the pancake distribution. Members in Key Club were responsible for waiting attendees and restocking any low materials (i.e. butter, creamer, sugar, etc). The number of people who showed up was immense and kept the members busy by getting their drink orders. Attendees also participated in multiple raffle events held by the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. Members were also treated by meeting the Mayor of San Marcos and free all-you-can-eat pancakes! -Sofia Nawaz D37E Division News Editor

13 | EVENT IDEAS
e v e n t
since it is necessary to practice social distancing, it is difficult for us to go outside to do community service. however, it should not stop us from performing acts of service at home! here are some ideas of what you can do while in quarantine:
check up on your friends, acquaintances, and mentors! -a kind text, email, or call can brighten up someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day -stay in touch, you never know who can use some company!
help around the house
i d e a s
-this is a given but if you have been pushing aside some chores, now is the perfect time to do them! -clean out your closet and donate old clothes to a local thrift store or make dog toys
send medical professionals your love! -in times of crisis, medical professionals work even harder to ensure our safety and wellbeing. write a letter, send a tweet, or post something on social media to thank them for their sacrifice and service!
