I am very pleased to be the new Executive Assistant Elect for Division 46 North for the 2016-2017 term. I am going into my senior year at Modesto High School. Although I am involved in other extracurricular activities I enjoy key club the most. I am looking forward to working with the new Lt. Governor and the rest of the Division. Some other extracurricular activities I am a part of are Make A Wish, PHAST, and Project Hope. In my spare time I like to volunteer at the hospital, watch YouTube videos, and listen to music. I hope to have a great 2016-2107 term and can’t wait to work with you all.

Saad Mirza Executive Assistant

I am overjoyed to say that I'm going to be the Division Secretary of Division 46 North for the 2016-2017 term. I am going to be a sophomore at Gregori High School very soon and I am pleased to say that I’m going to be entering this term with the excitement of new friendships, service events and leadership skills. In my free time I like to listen to music, when I do it is usually k-hip-hop and k-r&b. I also love hanging out with my friends, what we usually do is go out to eat and talk for hours on end. I’m very excited for what’s in stored for this term.

Hello everyone! I'm excited to introduce myself as the new 2016-2017 Member Recognition Program Coordinator for Division 46 North. A little bit about me, I attend Modesto High School and am a part of the Class of 2018. Additionally, I do IB instead of AP, and participate in our school's orchestra. As the MRP Coordinator, I look forward to seeing a whole lot of participation in various events and service projects. Hopefully your experiences in Key Club will be memorable and teach you valuable lessons that will help you throughout your life. I'm eager to serve you all.

Member Recognition Program Chair

Hello! My name is Jason Leung, and I am so excited to serve on the Division Leadership Team yet again! I will be a senior at Beyer High School in the fall, and I have been in Key Club for 3 years now, and I have loved every moment of it. My goal this year as the Member/Kiwanis Relations Coordinator is to continue improving Kiwanis and Key Club relations within our division, and increase Kiwanis participation at Key Club events, and vice versa.

Hi everyone! I am super excited to say that I will be serving as one of your Spirit Coordinators for the 2016-2017 term! I am now a senior at Grace Davis High School and I was actually the Grace Davis KC President for the 2015-2016 term. As spirit coordinator I really want to amp up our spirit and of course, take home the spirit stick at this year's Fall Rally. This will be my 3rd and final year in Key Club and I really wish that we can start and end this year with a bang!

Erica Langpaap Spirit Coordinator

I am so excited to introduce myself as D46 North Spirit Coordinator! I, Amanda Lial, am so pumped for this year of Key Club! I’ve been involved with this fantastic organization for 3 going on 4 years now, and it’s been a wonderful experience since day one. I am honored, not just to be in a club that aims to make a difference in the community, but also to be one of the people who encourage others to become psyched and actively involved in volunteering. My goal as Spirit Coordinator is to ignite passion into the hearts of Key Clubbers and recruit under classmen who are serious about committing to something bigger than themselves. Besides my engagement with Key Club, I am also known for my passion for running. I am a cross-country, track, and 2-time marathon runner. Why all the running? Well, like Key Club, it’s filled with dedicated people who just also happen to be the friendliest. I am also involved with many other clubs, but Key Club will be the only one I’ll be in for 4 years. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please just reach out and talk to me, I’ll be glad to meet any Key Clubber I don’t know!

Hello D-46! I am buzzing with excitement to serve you as the 2016-2017 Service Project Coordinator! I plan to work with ALL the clubs in order to make this year fun and full of service. I hope we can be a very productive division however I can't do this alone. Each and every one of you makes up a piece of the puzzle in order for us to have a successful and fruitful division. Only united we can stand together as one Ohana. Whenever you think of quitting remember why you started. Thank you and let's make this year a memorable one!

Jesus Aguiniga

Service Projects Coordinator

I am honored to now introduce myself as the Eliminate Project Coordinator of Division 46 North for the 2016-2017 term. Currently, I am a junior at Riverbank High School in Riverbank, CA, and I am part of some other extracurricular activities, but I am most passionate about Key Club. I am very excited in this term to become a true team with the rest of the clubs, share our ideas respectively, and spark a passion for Key Club and service in others. Also, seeing people be motivated and excited to attend service events and volunteer for a good cause is the best sight I have ever seen! I hope to reach out to others and motivate even more to join in on the fun pastime.

Monthly Recognition Member of the Month Ryan Lewis, Beyer This member worked really hard and raised $300 for the Miracle Mile of Quarters fundraiser by himself. Spending over a week going around his neighborhood asking for quarter donations, he accumulated 30 service hours from this hard work. This dedicated Key Clubber truly deserves the Member of the Month Award. Accepted by President, Jason Leung

Officer of the Month Philip Gergis, Enochs This officer has been super dedicated to Key Club and the club he serves by attending numerous service events, always asking questions regarding topics heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsure about, and even utilizing resources on the CNH Key Club website to educate himself more about Key Club in his own time. He has been very busy in making the club he serves becoming more involved and active in Key Club.

Advisor of the Month Aracele Villapudua, Central Catholic This advisor has very widespread dedication and commitment to her club and it is apparent through her constant support of new projects, community outreach, and personal time that she donates to our success. She is truly passionate about service and Central Catholic Key Club. Accepted by President, Lisa Archuleta

Club of the Month Vanguard Prep Academy This club did a wonderful job with the Miracle Mile of Quarters fundraiser, raising over $500 for the Valley Children's Hospital in Madera. They continue to show great spirit and always asks if anyone needs help with a task. This club truly shows characteristics of a dedicated Key Club.

Recap

Events

Division 46 North | Page 13

Johansen Relay For Life By Philip Gergis, Enochs High The Johansen Relay for Life is one of the relays held every year by the American Cancer Society. The 24 hour event was held on May 14th and teams who have been fundraising money for the organization gathered together on the day to celebrate all of their efforts. Also, each team was required to have one member walk around the track at all times. Key Club members who went to the event helped raise money for the charity by selling drinks to the walkers as they passed by. To pass the time members would visit other stations to buy food, objects, and play games where all the money spent would go straight to the organization. Members who stayed long enough were able to participate in the Luminaire Ceremony in which everyone would walk one lap at night with all the lights turned off, except for the candles that have been lit, to remember all the people we have lost to cancer. Altogether, the relay turned out to be extremely successful and proved to be my favorite event of the year.

Key Club Olympics By Vivian Tran, Gregori High The goal of the 2nd Annual Key Club Olympics held on May 20th at Ustach Park was to raise at least $250 with 10% of its profits that went towards donating to Camp Taylor. Camp Taylor is a medically supervised camp for children with heart disease. At this event, there were activities that have been set up for club members to participate in. Some of these activities include: Tug-a-War, Capture the Football, and Ultimate Frisbee. Members who attended this event enjoyed it and would like to have another Key Club Olympics soon. This event is a great way for members to bond with other members in their division, while also helping fundraise for a great cause! I highly recommend this event to members who have not yet attended before!

Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast By Jorgia Young, Enochs High At pancake breakfast we served and prepared pancakes. The breakfast serves as a DCM for many of supporting faculty. This annual event is Key Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest fundraising event of the year. Along with serving and preparing pancakes, other members from our division set tableware, placemats and other necessities on the tables. Members walked around to see if they had anything they needed to provide for them. We would then bus tables and replace placemats, spoons, forks, knives with new ones.
