What’s Crackalackin Monsters?

It’s Sammi– your DNE. This past month I’ve worked on this newsletter as well as aiding our team of editors to improve our article and visual submissions. Even though the term has just begun I’m glad to say that we’re doing a great job with our duties. Hopefully I’ll see you all at OTC this Saturday from 3 PM to 7 PM. Last month our task coordinators were announced and I’m glad to say we are easing them into our team. All of them are extremely dedicated and diligent workers who I know will serve our Division proudly. We’re all getting along very well and I hope that you will find them helpful through out this term.

I’m so happy that it’s finally time for Summer time– time of our lives, it’s our vacation. (from school) I’m so excited to tell you about all the fun events that we have planned. Hopefully I’ll see you all at our June DCM which is right before Officer Training Conference at Monterey Trail High School.

See you all soon Kiddos~ Sammi Tai Division 7 South Division News Editor Region 16| Cali-Nev-Ha District Key Club International

I look forward to meeting each and every one of you monsters at our upcoming summer events caught up in lazy summer days, our enthusiasm for Key Club will not go on hibernation. This summer will be an exciting one with OTC, many club fundraisers, and also fun social events. OTC is a great opportunity for officers to gain essential training in their positions. Members are also highly encouraged to attend this event and can benefit a lot from the education they will gain on the leadership positions of Key Club. For all officers, please be sure to communicate with members to keep your club active in service while school is out of session!

How did you come to be the Faculty Advisor for PGKC? “Back in 1999 or 2000, what ever it was- the Key Club Florin advisor couldn’t go to DCON, so the kids asked him to ask me if I could go to DCON. Everything was paid for– food hotel, etc. so I went and it was great. I didn’t even know what Key Club was. When we came back the president of Key Club at the time asked me to become their Key Club advisor after their first advisor wanted to retire. I asked them what I would have to do and came aboard.

What message would you pass on to future Key Clubbers?

“Keep doing community service because people might not recognize what you’re doing but you’re doing great things and it makes you feel good but it actually benefits the people who are needy– they need some help, with out you we’ll only think of ourselves. If you only think about the individual– our club, our community, our country will inevitably fail. We must think of ourselves a community– helping out, doing service– it helps out everyone and it brings us together. You might not notice it but it does happen, every little bit helps.”

From Spring to Winter Michelle Ho -Franklin High School Last Friday I attended Elliot Ranch’s Annual Spring Fling. At this carnival, there was a huge variety of activities for the students to participate in including a pie-eating contest, an inflatable obstacle course and slide, a slime-making booth, a hovercraft, and much more. The fair also hosted raffles for themed prize baskets put together by each class and even for a chance for one lucky student to be principal for a day! The atmosphere was great and you could see that all the kids were having so much fun. The DJ played great music as well; at one point he played the Cha Cha Slide and all the kids came up to the blacktop and danced. Unfortunately, about halfway into the Fling, it started to rain. The DJ even cracked a joke thanking everyone for coming to “Elliot Ranch’s first annual Winter Fling”. Despite being rained out, the Spring Fling was an overall success and a very enjoyable event to participate in.

Awake-A-Thon

By Justin Le -Pleasant Grove High School On April 24th, Pleasant Grove Key Club hosted their annual Awake-a-Thon. This event is one of PGKC largest fundraisers, raising to a total of 9000$! With the hard work of many and the attendance of wonderful Key Clubbers, PGKC was able to raise over 9000$ for charity! During the beginning of the set up stage PGKC has an array of members who helped set up the event! But our main star of the show was IP treasurer, Alex Pham. Alex has been a major contributor in the transition for this new terms start and has been the main organizer for AAT. Without Alex there wouldn't be another AAT for 2015! After the set up and registration PGKC held its rally to explain the charities that the money raised will be going towards. Also included in the mix were various activities that had many hilarious ends! Altogether the rally proved to not only increase the spirits of Key Clubbers but informed them about charities such as the Kiwanis Family house. AAT has helped many Key Clubbers in contributing towards charity and has helped them gain insight on the charities that Key Club partners with.

AAT was event that helped provide for those who couldn't provide for themselves and was also a fun way for Key Clubbers to bond with one another and have a fun time together.

Party Planning

By Sydney Shead– Rancho Murieta Key Club On April 19th, our Rancho Murieta Key Club had our monthly meeting at 4:30 p.m. at the Rancho Murieta Association (RMA) Building. This meeting was especially fun because the topic was party planning! Coming up on May 17th is our Welcoming party for new Key Club members as well as a goodbye party for our graduating members.

Last year, our Welcoming Party went really well, and our Key Club gained many new members. We are planning a fun day of games, food, raffles, and fun. The meeting was spent planning the details for the party.

Everyone split into groups and planned a specific aspect of the party. One group picked out different games to play and another made a list of food to bring to the party. The officers were in charge of picking out goodbye gifts for the leaving members.

This will be the first year our Key Club will have graduating members, and we want to make sure they are given gifts that show how much we have appreciated having them in Key Club. Those who are leaving include our Treasurer and former President Catie Field and our Secretary Michelle Utterback. We are looking forward to our party, but we are also sad that for some of our members, it will be their last meeting.

The meeting was very productive and a little sad, and we are hoping to have a great turn out at the party. We always look forward to this event because it is a day full of fun and getting to know new members!

Kiwanis One Day

By David Guo- Franklin High School The day of April 18th began like any other. Spring had just begun, and the elated winds began to sway the trees back and forth in methodical moMember David Guo at the tion. Most people slept in in the Kiwanis One Day event. light of the lazy Saturday mornings, however on that day I could not afford that luxury. Around 9 a.m. on April 18th, students from all over the California area bustled into the Kiwanis Family house. I had been to the Kiwanis Family house before, but my usual visits were only met by 10 or 12 people. Seeing around 100 dedicated Key Club students was not only astonishing but inspirational. For the rest of the day all Key Clubbers would dedicate themselves to pulling weeds, laying mulch, and of course, pulling weeds. Volunteering at this event relayed to me a valuable part of Key Club I had neglected.

EGKC President Ellie Truong vacuuming in the Kiwanis Family House

It was the dedication of the member, the honor of hard work being done. Whether leader or member, everyone can appreciate the value of industry. Although we may not directly see the people we are volunteering for, it is easy to appreciate the temerity shown by the members. It is easy to get complacent within Key Club due to it’s slew of social events. It’s easy to forget why you serve. But when we look at the core value of Key Club, and look back, we realize that as a leader we must understand how we became a leader. And as a member, we realize why we are a part of Key Club. "

Member– Vue Yang Vue shows that his passion and dedication to Key Club has been consistent for the past month through his service and interest in Key Club. Despite the lack of an advisor and trouble of finding rooms for general meetings, he is still eager to attend every meeting.

Because Vue continuously promotes Key Club, he attends meetings with groups of friends, which greatly increases the general meeting attendance. Along with meetings, he has made the most effort to attend all available service events and even with the difficulties of the time and place, he still manages to attend event in the past month.

Vue displays true affection and devotion towards Key Club upon his actions.

Thank You Vue!

Officer– Emily Chen Emily has been very dependable when it comes to finding and organizing service events. Over the past month, she has found 5+ service events and has made it easily accessible for members to attend. Emily is very helpful with general meetings and to the board. Because of recent AP Testing, her fellow board officers have been busy and Emily was extremely helpful with finding all these service events. She has done an amazing job with the organization of the service events; and this shows her creativity and work ethic, which has reflected her personality this month.

Cynthia Tze, Emily Chen and Vue Yang
