DCM By Carissa Mq of Elk Grove KC The Fifty Bikes for 50 Fifty Kids was a very fun event. It took place on a wonderful Sunday morning in Sacramento. At the event, we drew paintings representing peace at the kids art table to motivate other kids to draw pictures. The paintings were then hung up above the bleachers for everyone to see. I was impressed on how all of the pieces were very creative and influential. Afterwards I helped clean up the tables and paint to put away the tables. We also helped throw away the boxes from came with the bike parts. We had to rip them apart because they were so big and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in the recycling box. Some of them were hard to tear so we had to use a blade to cut them. After that we started helping kids put their bikes together by screwing the parts together with a screw driver. It took a while because we had to figure out which parts were supposed to go where. But it was all worth it in the end when we put the final product on display on the rack in the middle of the gym floor. Seeing how happy the kids were with their new bikes mad me happy that I had decided to come to help at this event.

Officer Training By Eseosa Omorieva of Laguna Creek KC At first, I was worried. I was worried about the future. I was worried about the club that we worked so hard to build. I was worried about that the things I have done in the past might not have built a strong future for our club. Until Officer Training Conference. OTC provided me insight on the future of our club. Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to run it and what are their goals for Laguna Creek Key Club. We quizzed our candidates on the club that they will be serving, so we could understand the knowledge on the foundations of Key Club. We also informed them of acronyms and sure were there a lotMNT, MRF,ERF, LTG and so many more. It was at this moment that the memories of my election process and the amount of nerves that I felt for my quiz, the amount of time I spent studying the study guide, and the speech that I had written and performed. I was scared. Now this year I am the one giving the quiz and advicing others on what to do. So if there is anyone running what advice would I give? Be confident. Because others will believe in you only if you believe in yourself. Good luck!
time to help their community and their Key Clubs. On January 31st, I had attended ly thought it was going to be very formal since their was a dress code and a frightenns had broken down my shyness and made a comfortable atmosphere for myself. hat my efforts were greatly appreciated. Not only that but, the Kiwanians would pay was going to a great cause. For example, for the playing card raffle was $5 per card. card raffle because they funds would go towards a reading room in a school in the Clubbers to help support our home club. Other than the great Kiwanians, we were odge. The Kiwanis Crabfeed was a great event that I hope I get to experience again.

1) I am the secretary for my home club. My favorite color is mint and I love giraffe. I don’t have a favorite food but I do love Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran. My favorite service event was the Dirty Girl Mud Run! Though procrastination is my Achilles heel, my biggest inspiration Hewitt Chang who helps me see all the mazing things I can do if I set my mind to it
2) I am the treasurer of my home club but I absolutely love listening to music such as Sam Smith, One Republic, the Script, etecah. I enjoy most Key Club events but my moment was definitely at Fishers of Men event where I got to help feed the homeless. I love to read fantasy books and my biggest inspiration is Florin’s IP President– Kameo Quenga. <3
3) I enjoy all food as long as it tastes good. I enjoy engineering, music, and art in general. My favorite type of music is electro or classical. Though I’m a quite shy person I’m also very friendly and creative. All the members of KCI inspire me to do better. I love to take on new challenges.
4) I currently serve as a club president. I love to play soccer and enjoy reading in my free time. This year I’d love to raise the enthusiasm level in my club. My favorite event and Key Club moment occurred at the same time at the Father Daughter Dance at a local elementary school.
Who am I?

5)I love the color pink and my favorite animals are elephants. This year I have two executive board positions that I hope will prepare me to run for next year’s presidency!

Member of the Month Eileen Lyâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; COKC Over the past month, this member has been busy with sports, but she always tries to find time to attend as much service events as possible. She is diligent, optimistic and very friendly. This member encourages others to attend events by helping them print out fliers for them and or signing them up for service events. She and her group of friends are the most active underclassmen of the club and this would not have been possible without this member. Not only has she been active in her home club, she has also taken the initiative to apply for a Division Task Coordinator position becoming the first member of her home club to serve on the DLT. Officer of the Month Sally Tran PGKC
In the past month, this officer has been an efficient and diligent officer as she handles tasks as vice president as well as her academics. Although she has multiple things on her mind, she is always prepared to take on a task and make sure it gets done. This officer has displayed her accomplishments throughout the term through her distinguished binder application. She has been working hard throughout the past months and has shown acts of leadership, as well as the compassion she has for her club.
