What’s Crackalackin Monsters? The final month of Summer has finally come arrived and I’m so excited for it! I hope that you’ve all begun finishing or starting our summer homework! School is fast approaching and it’s going to be great to finally have a normal sleeping schedule again. This break has been fantastic and I hope that you all had a fun, productive summer. This past month I’ve kept up with my usual monthly tasks of organizing district articles and visuals, sending feedback to the club editors, and working on this newsletter. As I’ve said before PLEASE let me know if you have any suggestions to make this newsletter better and more useful for you! We only have a few Divisional events this month but service never stops! Be sure to continue to sign up for community service events so we can reach our goal of 25,000 (check out page 17) service hours. I hope that you will all be able to attend the region wide Key to College that will be happening in conjunction with our August DCM on the 22nd. I hope to see you all there! See you all soon Kiddos~ Sammi Tai Division 7 South Division News Editor Region 16| Cali-Nev-Ha District

Executive Assistant Tommy Dang | Laguna Creek Aloha Division 7 South Monsters! This past month has been filled with a lot of planning for the upcoming year and I'm excited for what's to come. More recently I've helped Terry with finishing up the Graphic Design T-Shirt contest, and there were a ton of wonderful submissions! Also were planning on the August Service Project which will be a Creek Clean-Up, more information to come! Another thing I'd like to share is that I have just finished up the google form for the Interclub System Reflection, which will be posted so please submit a form to be featured in the upcoming Division Newsletter! It will include questions on your past experiences through the Interclub system in order for us to help improve the system. To all the treasures, be prepared to be more interactive as I'm planning on aiding all club treasures! Overall, the term has been going smoothly and I'd like to say thank you to all who have attended our latest DCM, as Mr. Brummer gave us a big thumbs up and it wouldn't have been possible without all of you !

Administrative Assistant Megan Morris | Franklin Hello, Division 7 South! I hope you all are having a great summer. Even though summer is almost over, it's not too late to work on your service hours before school comes into session. I would love to see more members enter this club and become as passionate about serving their community as we all are. Now is the time to also begin having regular meetings again and spending time getting to know the members of your club even more. I know the transition of Key Club from summer to back to school again can go flawlessly if we all put our best foot forward and work hard. This month I have been busy working on assisting secretaries with their MRF submissions. I am proud to announce that this month has been the first one of this term that our division had 100% on time MRF submissions! Next time you see the secretary of your home club, please thank them for all of their hard work. While I assist with Secretary duties, it is really them that act as the backbone of your club so I want you to recognize them for all that they do. Thank You Monsters!

Kiwanis Family & Foundation TC Michael Mendoza | Florin Aloha D7S Monsters! It's SUMMERTIME Monsters! Summer is coming to an end but that doesn't mean service is out of the picture. This past couple of weeks I've been contacting the Kiwanis to be more connected with them and also I'm planning an upcoming service event at the Kiwanis Family House. Recently I made a guide on "How to Interact with Kiwanis Family". District Key Club to College is coming up and I do think that you all should attend to learn more about colleges and universities and to also interact with our fellow CKI. Well, see you next time monsters! Peace Out!

Media and Tech TC Nathan Dang | Franklin What Up Monsters? Tech & Media TC here with our new issue released for this month! With school ready to peak into our lives once more, there are some events coming up before then. As of now, the DLT intro video has released onto the Division page, talking about who we are and what our goals will be. This should give you all an idea of how our division functions as a whole, from the LTG to the rest of the DLT roles. Also, look out for future projects that can be used as potential advertisements for clubs to use for their schools. Ideas aren't yet finalized, but don't worry, as I think every day about them. Have a great rest of the summer!

Member Recognition TC Anthony Chan | Sheldon Hello, Division 7 South! I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! This summer is going by fast and there is about 25 days left until school starts. Yikes! Although I am a member of the DLT with multiple tasks, I still focus on my academics and education. I am going into my sophomore year and I have put myself in AP and Honors classes as well as participating in two sports. High school does not last forever, but does not end quickly so I try to make the most of my high school life with my academics, sports and Key Club! I believe that this will be a fun year and I hope all of you have a great time as well in the next year of high school. School season is approaching and you should be getting ready for a jampacked year of stress and homework, but also a lot of fun. Enjoy the rest of your summer because it is ending soon so make it count!

Summer Public Relations TC Joshua Diaz | Franklin Hello Monsters of Division 7 South, It's August now and as summer comes to an end, school starts back up again. Hopefully you have been able to dedicate at least some of your time to serving your community with your fellow key clubbers because every act of service benefits someone (even if only a little bit), and every someone that you help helps us all. For those of you who came out to the Kiwanis Family House last week for the Caring With Food: Feeding the Homeless event, thank you. I hope you enjoyed mingling with members from all over D7S while participating in our hands on service event. This month's service event, the creek cleanup, will be advertised shortly so be sure to be on the lookout for that. There will be an opportunity for even more members to participate, so when the signups are released please do consider attending. More information will come as the date gets closer. Also, the service guide I have been working on will soon be released and it will have lots of information on service in general such as: monthly service initiatives, detailed ideas for service projects, and more. When it is completed, it will be on the division website. Finally, keep serving, find ways to make things better for yourself and others, and thank you once more.

Key Club Experience By Caleb Marshall of Elk Grove High School Community service is a required part of many high school operations, such as joining an honor society or applying for certain universities or collegiate academies. But as I reflect on the short year that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent in Key Club at Elk Grove High School, I can think of no other clubs or activities that do community service solely for the sake of helping others and expecting no reward or compensation in return. This past June, I have had the privilege of being a part of my schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of officers to help plan events and meetings for the rest of the summer and the school year to come. At our June board meeting, I was very pleased with the focus that the entire group gave to our discussion. I was especially impressed with the idea to put all of our phones in a pile elsewhere so that they would not serve as a distraction during the meeting, President David Thong watches his little brother while listening to though we were DCM updates. still able to team extremely productive and enjoyable for all groups participating in Key Club around the world.

Kiwanis Meeting By Leeza Xiong of Sheldon High School During Sheldon Key Club's general meetings, our Kiwanis Advisor is always present. He happily attends and brings treats for the members. On June 18th, Sheldon Key Club's officers wanted to not only return the favor, but we want to increase Kiwanis Relations as well so we attended our sponsoring Kiwanis Club, Rancho Murieta's general meeting. When we first arrived, we saw our Kiwanis Advisor standing outside the building waving at us. When we walked inside the building, the first thing that happened was receiving a bunch of hugs and handshakes from many Kiwanians. The environment was so welcoming and friendly! We sat down at the table and patiently waited for Rancho Murieta's Kiwanis Club President, Craig Carbrey, to call the meeting to order. Once the meeting started, they played an ice breaker called "Happy, Sad buck" to start it off. The purpose of this ice breaker is to share something that you are either happy or sad about for each dollar you donate. This was a great way to start off the meeting because everyone was able to celebrate the happy things together as well as comfort the sad things. At the end of the meeting, Pleasant Grove, Rancho Murieta and Sheldon Key Club were given
