Oak Park’s 50th Anniversary I was given beef/turkey/veggie dogs and put them in a bun and wrap them in tin foil. I also gave the hot dogs to anyone that wanted them. I also got stuff for the people who were in charge of the hot dog section whenever they needed something. - Chase Kaiserman-Phelps
PetSmart Adoption Clinic During the L.I.F.E. Animal Rescue event, everyone who volunteered had to sit in a chair and hold a dog (by the leash). All the dogs were up for adoption, and everyone who had responsibility for a dog also had to know some background information about that dog. The dog I was responsible for was Lily, a Terrier mix. Lily Li was absolutely ADORABLE and very playful with a dog named Sophie, and I'm happy to say that Lily was adopted! She had gone through some pretty traumatic situations before coming to this rescue, so I'm so glad that she was able to find a better person to take care of her. - Allysen Wong
Homeless Shelter One of my favorite events to volunteer at is the homeless shelter. The most recent homeless shelter was held at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church. To me this event is very important and beneficial to the community as a whole. Our job was to help prepare the lunch sacks and serve the food to the homeless. Not only that, but we also kept them company and talked to them. This event was a very fun experience for me because while we served them we talked to them, they told us stories about their lives and past experiences and we also shared many laughs as well. This event is not only very enjoyable, but it also gives me a chance to give back and help my community which is a thing I love doing! - Brandon Ly
5K Run for Elle On the morning of September 24th, Newbury Park High School held the 5K Run for Elle. Elle is a student at NPHS this event was held because her mom was recently diagnosed with cancer and this run was looking to raise money to cover the costs of her hospital bill. I really enjoyed volunteering at this event because I was not just helping another person, but a person that goes to the same school as me which added even more to the importance of the event. My job was to guide the runners throughout the course and hand out water cups to them when they needed it. These events are the reason I love volunteering and hope there will be more events like this to come in the future. - Brandon Ly
Chipotle Fundraiser On September 6th, 2016, Simi Valley High School Key Club held our first 2016-2017 year club meeting and had around 70 people show up. We plan to hold meetings every Tuesday in the gym foyer and around 60 people show up for each meeting. For our 9/13/16 meeting we had two Kiwanis members come out and join the fun. The events we have planned for the month of October are selling Krispy Kreme Donuts at the White Out football game (10/14/16) and the Homecoming football game (10/21/16). We also plan to team up with actionvc.org to see local community service events that our club can partake in and possible team up with world’s finest chocolate as a possible fundrais er. - Jackie Yim
3.14 THE DLT/PRESIDENTS On Saturday, Saturd September 24, 2016, I had the pleasure of attending a DCM. Not only was it a great way to meet new people and to hear what other clubs were up to, but it was also a fundraiser. All for the low price of $1, members were able to pie their favorite DLT D member and/or Presidents! What's even more great is that all of the proceeds went straight to PTP. Shortly after, the lovely Spirit Team taught us the amazing RTC cheer. It was clear that both the DLT and Spirit Team worked extremely hard to make sure that this DCM was one for the books. - Elly Lee
