Executive Assistant Tommy Dang | Laguna Creek Aloha Monsters of 7 Southhhhhh! The It is the month of November, the month of thanks! I’d just like to say that thanks to many things that I have a passion for, but more importantly members! You are what keeps us running as an organization! Thank you for all the support you provide us as a DLT, whether it be physical or moral support, you are what keeps us running! Fall Rally North has just passed and was definitely a memorable experience! I hope you all had a great time cheering your lungs out during the rally and making new friends while waiting in line. The next big topic are dues! Just recently, I have emphasized the details on membership dues as the deadline for early bird has just passed, so hopefully you are a member too! If not, remember to do your dues! Other than that it has been great seeing club share events, and to continue promoting inter clubbing I have been working on drafting clubs! Besides that be sure to check out the the Division 7 South website to view your club partners for the current month! I hope you have the rest of the month feasting just like a
Administrative Assistant Megan Morris | Franklin Hello, Division 7 South! All clubs in our division gained a lot of new members after Club Rush and it is awesome to see so many new members serving within our clubs. With so many new members active within their home clubs, I would like to see more of these monsters becoming active within our division. All new members who attend their first DCM ever will be recognized and will receive a cute Division 7 South button at the DCM. For all returning members, please go out of your way to make our new monsters feel at home within your division. So far our term is going pretty good, but I know by expanding our Ohana, we can lift 7 South even higher as a division. I hope you all had an awesome time at Fall Rally. We raised a lot of money for Pediatric Trauma Program but it is not time to slow down on fundraising. Clubs should continue raising money for service with organizations such as PTP, UNICEF and the Eliminate Project. While our Key Clubs make great impacts on our community through volunteering, raising money for these organizations really helps to expand our club's impact to the global scale.

Media and Tech TC Nathan Dang | Franklin What Up Monsters? If you don't know me already, my name is Nathan Dang and I serve the Divison as your Tech & Media TC! I am in charge of all video production and photography, so any division picture or video you see are made by me! For the past month, I have been brainstorming on how to record every DCM moment with recognition, namely photographs. Our website is up and running at full speed, but there is something I feel I could improve on in order to polish it together. Also, there will be a DCM video in the making for you guys to show your friends and other new members to see! The video will include things you see at the DCM, service projects, and many more. Be on the lookout for more content!
Member Recognition TC Anthony Chan | Sheldon Hello, Division 7 South! It’s hard to believe that our first quarter of school has already been finished and just 3 more to go. I’m sad to say that there is only 6 more months of our Key Club term. Whether you serve as an executive or appointed officer or on the Division Leadership Team, I just wanted to say keep up the great work. Even though there is only half a year left, that is still enough time to do great things. This is the time where you can create stronger bonds with your division, club and members. For the members out there, continue to strive for greatness and serve your community. I want everyone to know that anyone has the potential to become a leader in Key Club and that is a fact. Just ask the people that serve as leaders of Key Club today! “Once a monster, always a monster!”
Kiwanis Family & Foundation TC Michael Mendoza | Florin Aloha D7S Monsters! HOW YA DOING 7 SOUTH! Lately I've been coming up with a unique event for our Kiwanians and it's a "Kiwanis Dinner" it will show them that we appreciate them for all that they do and it gives them a break from all the tasks that they do. It is still in its planning stage and future date will be later in the year. Unfortunately on Thursday the 15th, our LTG Terry Nguyen and I were unable to attend the monthly Kiwanis DCM at the KFH which was the Division 7 Kiwanis NEW LTG's DCM that she had hosted:( I'm sure it turned out GREAT but for sure plan on attending next month's! With me not going to the Kiwanis DCM, I didn't have the opportunity to ask and film "Get to Know" questions to them which will be filmed and edited by Nathan Dang. MORE to come D7S, have a MONSTEROUS DAY!
Autumn Public Relation TC David Keet | Franklin What’s Good, Monsters! How was your Fall Rally North experience? Good? Better than good? Well either one, I hope you all had a MONSTERous experience. Having post-FRN depression? Went to a service event and had the experience of a lifetime? Be sure ask your club's bulletin editor about writing an article to be featured in the monthly newsletter or even the district website! Submitting articles is a great way of sharing your Key Club moments with others. Also, be on the look out for new service events and take initiative by signing up for service events that are empty. You never know, it may pay off in the future.

Region Training Conference By Virginia Manandeg of Sheldon High School What club gives someone the opportunity to help their community while keeping it interactive and fun? During the recently concluded Region 16 Training Conference at Pleasant Grove High School last September 26, 2015, Key Club proved that an individual may help those around them while having a cool and fun aura. Focusing on the theme of a safari, all members captured the moment and showed their support and spirit for their own division. Each division represented their mascot with great pride and joy. It was crazy seeing how many people there were, the divisions ranged from: bees, monsters, grizzlies, fish, ninjas and dinosaurs. The training conference had a lot of leadership training for all the participants. Activities such as seminars on how to run for an officer and how it is not impossible to achieve one’s goal and talks on how to be able to earn scholarships by helping through Key Club were all very helpful. Colors sure were given justice by every participant like the roaring orange for the monsters. Power and cooperation was in the air. The activity also made very great use of technology. Since the generation the delegates lived in is what society would like to refer to as the “technological era”, phones were in great use. The said conference was a great avenue for every single one to meet other people with the same desire they have. Taking ‘selfies’ and posting them on social media sites were one of the best activities a lot have to mention. As the event came to a close, it showed how Key Club connects other people of different schools to be united for one cause and one objective. Everybody ended up satisfied and all geared up for the upcoming major event which is Fall Rally North to be held on the 24th of October at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Grassroot Soccer By Lesley Wong of Franklin High School This year was my second year participating in grassroots. Although our team might've not been theory well coordinated soccer players, watching people come in and support is better than winning the champs. What I love most about our annual grassroots soccer tournament is that people are super competitive about winning but even those who don't know more than two rules about soccer (me) still come out and support our club and support kicking AIDS/HIV out of Africa. It also brings a smile to my face when the pun of playing soccer to "kick" AIDS/HIV click in peoples' minds. Although it may be a possibility that those who played were just supporting our club and didn't know exactly what they were contributing towards, the things that really matter was that they showed support in one shape or form; that is priceless.
A Moo-ving Experience By Emily Chen of Elk Grove High School I couldn’t be more happy being a part of the Key Club life. It brings me together, providing me with a monstrous experience despite all the challenges life brings. Lately, I have been going through some tough times but no fear! Key Club friends are here! They cheered me on and provided me with moral support and that made me feel like the luckiest person on Earth. I honestly think joining Key Club is one of the few things I did right in my entire life because without this club and the people in it, I would not be the person I am today. Earlier this month, I volunteered at Urban Cow and watched all the motivational runners achieve their goal. It was an honor being able to take part in their moo-ving journey because who else wouldn’t? Every drop of their sweat showed their motivation and efforts and that inspired me to reach higher because nothing is impossible unless you don’t try.

1) My favorite color is burgundy, I love hip hop, and wolves. One of my hidden talents is dancing. The most inspirational key clubber I have ever met would have to be Kenny Lee– the 2014-2015 Valley Key Club President.
2) I love cats! I can play piano and I currently serve as a club treasurer. My pet peeve would have to be that I’m a grammar nazi. I like J Pop and rock! My favorite foods would have to be mangoes and dark chocolate.
3) I love neutral and pastel colors. I currently serve as a president. I like dogs, giraffes, and monkey. My favorite food is walnut shrimp, sushi, and KBBQ! I love spending time with my family and my favorite music fluctuates with my mood.
4) I currently serve as VP for my school and my favorite color is black, I love cats, and pasta. A pet peeve of mine would have to be people who talk really loud. My favorite music is indie, pop, and punk! Even though I’m shy I like to meet new people.

Member of the Month Mary P. Mai This past month, Mai has been really involved in Key Club as she attends both service and social events. Not only is she hardworking at service events, but she is also very outgoing at social events and like to put herself out there. Mai has attend both of her club socials and met many new people. Although she is quite familiar with Key Club, she is not very familiar with their club or our division. Mai has become a new member of our division and has enjoyed it ever since the beginning of the school year.
Officer of the Month Michelle Nguyen This past month Michelle has done an amazing job in improving her club. She has been trying to constantly raise money for PTP. In the month of August, there were 2 back to back days where she has raised money from Sheldon’s Welcome Back Carnival selling milk tea and the next day where she had her Open Mic Night fundraiser. In addition, she raised $400 from working at a football game with her fellow officers. Leeza also lead a successful club rush with 300+ sign ups and had a great first meeting. She continues to strive for success for her club and puts in 110% to do so
