Bulletin Editor Daniel Lang

Dear Mavericks, The beginning of the year may be the toughest time for an officer… but the end feels the toughest. This month, we’ve articles reaching as far back as February, all the way into late March. Conclave 2014 finally gets its welldeserved feature, as do the true words from each and every officer we have. My final A-Tech Newsletter is this. Within, I hope you will find some of the best works you’ve ever seen. A quick glance at the Table of Contents shows this to be the longest newsletter I’ve ever compiled—and for great reason. Your spirit, your enthusiasm, and your character are what allow me to have been able to do what I’ve done. And I thank you. Next month, the A-Tech Newsletter will return as Volume 4, under Bulletin Editor Robert Macaibay. Tech Editor Carmen Chan will take-over as webmaster, of the ‘ol site I raised: (atechkeyclub.weebly.com/). Please, enjoy this final newsletter.

The Park Clean-Up!

A Bonanza of Service! â&#x20AC;&#x153;On March 1st, 2014, A-Tech Key Club had the opportunity to participate in a park clean-up event. It took place on the Bonanza Trail, and about ten of us had come to help out. From the time of 9am to about 12pm, we cleaned graffiti off of street signs and other objects. We had several different tools to help us with this task, including brooms and cleaners and rags and even stools (to reach high places). Nonetheless, I was mostly focused on the trash in the streets, gutters, and rocks. I had two trash bags and filled one of them completely. I was parented up with Mark Paragas for safety reasons, and we cleaned everything from broken bottles to dog poop. All of this worked took about two hours, with constant trips back to the van to get more materials. After we finished this, we went to the surrounding neighborhood, where we were delivered news about keeping the area clean and how to fight graffiti. This was probably the easiest part of the day, because it was like playing Paper Boy on the SNES. This took only about thirty minutes to complete, and after that, the event was finished. The people were nice and caring, and I really wish I could work with them again in the future.â&#x20AC;? -

The Color Run! Making it Rainbow â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Saturday, February 22, 2014, I had to wake up super-duper early for a service event; however, it was all worth it because I had the opportunity to volunteer for The Color Run at Fremont Street Experience! After we all registered at the volunteer tent, the volunteers were separated into groups for the different color zones along Fremont Street. I, and other A-Tech friends, received free orange t-shirts, which indicated the orange zone as our assigned location. Before the race initiated, we equipped paint buckets along the street, and the event coordinator demonstrated the proper techniques of paint chucking. We were given old mustard bottles, which were then filled with orange powder. As runners scurried through the orange color zone, we aimed our mustard bottles at their torsos and splattered powdered paint. Soon after, orange dust filled the atmosphere and turned all of the volunteers orange (basically, we looked like Oompa-Loompas). Throughout the event, I used my Key Club voice and applauded the runners, even though many of them already possessed an abundance of enthusiasm! Once all of the runners hurtled through our color zone, we began to sweep the streets of excess paint and dismantle equipment. Our mission concluded around 1:00 p.m., so the A-Tech crew casually strolled through Fremont Street and Container Park, enjoying the blissful weather. Even though The Color Run functions as a forprofit corporation, it collaborates with local charities that operate to enhance the community. In Las Vegas, The Color Run partnered up with Three Square Food Bank, an organization dedicated to providing meals for 100,000 people in Southern Nevada each month. With that said, I am glad to have volunteered at The Color Run, and I anticipate participating in the event next time!â&#x20AC;?

Making the Wittiest Posters Survival of the Wittiest: Posters “I thought it was just a normal day at Digital Paint Club, but then, Daniel Lang noticed that I wasn't too busy. He approached me asking if I’d like to make posters. I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn't trust my graphics skills, but I said sure. Little did I know how fun making the poster would be! The poster was for Survival of the Wittiest. (This was A-Tech’s Hunger Games-inspired dodgeball fundraising event for Pediatric Trauma Program.) On the other side of the room, some student ambassadors worked on their own poster, since both Key Club and Ambassadors were running this event. My friend, Tyler Nual, and I weren't sure what to do, so we decided to take inspiration from a card game. The header of the poster became “BACKSTAB YOUR BUDDIES.” Oddly enough, Sharon Han came out of nowhere, saw our struggling, and offered her help. As she was lecturing us about how bad we were at tracing letters, she messed up on the number 1. Perhaps we hadn’t made the best poster, but I don't regret trying. It was a very fun experience with friends, and we helped promote a fundraiser by making a poster for our school to see!” -

The Next Step “This year I applied for the pseudo-officer position of Sergeant-at-Arms. To me, it was a very nerve-racking experience to go through. From making my own cheer to being interviewed by board members, it was a very great learning experience. At times I was very nervous, but in all honesty, I had nothing to worry about; after all, the board members were just looking for the best-suited person to fit the position. I should just try my best, and if I’m not fit for it, then I can always still be a devoted member. If you’re interested in applying as a pseudo-officer, I definitely encourage you to take the step, and enjoy the experience.” -

At the Warehouse

Serving with Three Square “On March 15, A-Tech Key Club had the chance to help sort packages for Three Square Food Bank from the hours of 1pm to 4pm. At this event, around twenty of us went to the facility to help out. There were two different jobs we could do. The first one was making care packages that weighed twenty pounds. We filled them with things like soap and shampoo and lotions for people that don’t have these basic household items. About seven of us worked at this station, and it was probably the easier one. I only worked at here for about an hour, then I was transferred to the other station. The second station was for putting oranges into bags and placing the bags inside a box. At first, this task seemed extremely easy, but it turned out to be very difficult. For example, the oranges were all different sizes, so grabbing a handful of oranges could yield about three or eight. Also, some of the oranges were not the best looking, and some of the other members couldn’t stand the sights of them. After all the sorting, we took a short tour of the facility. We saw where the food was made, their distribution room, and some many other wonders. After that, they said we could come back whenever! I hope we have more service opportunities there soon.”

Officer Reflections: Vice Presidents VP of Service Allison Lenon “This past year, serving our club as VP of service has taught me so much. It was definitely a growing experience for me — especially with all the responsibilities and need to be more social. I remember, during the beginning of my term, frantically searching for service events and worrying if you guys would even be interested in them! It took me a while to get into the groove of things, but it eventually came second nature to me. I found all the right websites and created new relationships with different organizations! I learned how to befriend adults! I came to learn that adults are actually more approachable than you think— don't let them fool you! As my term comes to an end, all of the community service events, socials, and meetings are playing back in my head. You, my members, have given me so many unforgettable memories! From Color Me Rad, to the most recent Three-Square event... I could not ask for a better club. It has been my honor to serve all of you as your Vice President of Service! Love you!!!”

VP of Membership Hung Le “2013-2014, a year that I will never forget: it was a great year for me, because I got the opportunity to serve the club that I adore and love ever since I was a freshman. Well, to start off my term, during Freshman Orientation and Open Houses, I was always the one promoting Key Club while the other officers were busy. I spread the good word and promoted our club time and time again. I preached about our glory to the freshman during lunch, going around to every freshman I could possibly spot to tell them about Key Club, hoping that they would give it a chance, for me and for them. Throughout the months, I got to bond with many members that I had not gotten a chance to connect with last year or never met before. We share laughs and good times while helping the community. I planned socials for the members to have a good time, enjoying themselves and the company around them. This year, I’ve seen a lot of improvement between classes: freshman, sophomore, etc. That is one of the things I’m proud about Key Club. I hope next year will continue on intertwining the different classes and providing new traditions for many years to come!”

Officer Reflections: Secretary and MoM Chair Secretary Jessica Dimalanta “Any secretary knows the truth behind the title: the work goes well past the initial expectations. Yet with all the love in the world, I said to the sympathizers, who apologized for asking for their hours repeatedly, the same things back then as I do now: I do it for you and it will always be worth it. Looking back, I’ll probably never get a firm grasp of all the nights I spent with my head lazily floating above the keyboard, typing in hours and filling in forms to record every minute detail. Then again, I will always feel as if that was never the extent of my reach, in my own flight to positively impact the club that I cradled as my baby. Rather, the ecstatic sensation in my head when I finished spreadsheets and prospective designs will never compare to the engulfing warmth I became conscious of, with every small interaction I had with my members over their sudden inspiration, admiration, and love for all that Key Club stood for and all that it had to offer for them. Suddenly, I found myself grasping the reality that these members were a version of me during freshmen year when I was struggling for guidance to realize who I was and what I was capable of doing. My proudest moments, despite all the various efforts that were made throughout the year, were seeing the glowing faces that stood together united by a cause. These faces are the faces that I now have the privilege to inspire to see that they are worth more than they can imagine and are entirely capable to accomplish even the hardest of tasks that they had only dreamed of before, just like I was back then. I have nothing but the highest hope for what A-Tech Key club can do with such dedication and love filling the ranks year after year. Secretary for the 2013-2014 term was memorable and life changing, and I can only hope to do the same in my upcoming year as President.”

Member of the Month Chair Eric Munoz “Every year Key Club brings new experiences to people that can ultimately change their lives. Being a part of Key Club for my third year is nothing short of being amazing. This year, I was appointed Member of the Month chair in order to recognize members each month in their successes in Key Club. This term serving as your Member of the Month chair has been nothing short of the best Key Club experience I’ve had. Each month I recognized members for striving forward using Key Club’s core values. They cheered, were caught off guard, and never thought that they would be MoM, but they were recognized. It felt nice seeing member’s reactions when they saw their name come up on the PowerPoint. This year I’ve made many memories with Key Clubbers that I will never forget. RTC was the event of the year that defines a major part of the year, and I can’t believe the memories I made during RTC. Fall Rally was nothing short of amazing as our LTG, Chris Bui, led our Division into victory during the spirit session. Not to mention all of the new friends I made this year is incredible. We all have successes, but also failures and shortcomings; and I experienced this during my term. I felt that giving members just a certificate, a showing in the newsletter, and a shout-out on the website was not much, and some people did notice that. I hope that next year we make recognition more special. But in the end, the triumphs and successes prove to be the most seen by others. This year I felt that I made member recognition, well, recognized. And the greatest triumph I feel is winning VP of Service, knowing I can serve you guys one more year. While I plan to bring service to the forefront next term, I still will remember being A-Tech Key Club’s MoM.”

Officer Reflections: Sergeants-at-Arms Sergeant-at-Arms Steffi Marie “Serving as an SAA this term has been absolutely amazing. From being an SAA, I have learned that there is so much more to Key Club than just service events and socials. My position allowed me to take responsibility in our club, watch other board members impact our club, and see what our Key Club is like behind the scenes. It has also inspired me to be more involved with the club and run for Secretary, which I’m happy to say I got elected as for the next term. It is true that our board has faced several obstacles, but in the end, we all have learned from it. Whether it be last minute planning or a lack of chaperones days before an event, each member has grown and overcome these obstacles. These obstacles have also made Key Club that much more important to me. When I see the members cheering at RTC or laughing during our service events, I’m proud to know that I helped contribute to it. Next year, I hope to bond more with the members and create lasting relationships with them. I plan to take part in the board that will take our club higher than it has ever been.”

Sergeant-at-Arms Floyd Ngov “It’s been an honor serving my Key Club for the 2013-2014 school year as Sergeant-at-Arms, which presented me with many new experiences and allowed time to fully realize how amazing Key Club is as an organization. Through this year, I was able to participate in events such as recruiting new members and telling them about all of my past Key Club experience. As a board member, I was able to become involved with my club in a way which I was able to observe how the club runs, and it was a fun experience assisting the board in any way I could to make the club better. Taking a leadership position of the club showed me how fun it was to lead and it gave me the inspiration to continue to do all I can to help my club. I served the role of an example Key Club member, and I believe I accomplished this most at so many of the evens I attended, this year. I hope I had done everything to make sure every Key Club member was satisfied with their Key Club experience, just as I was.”

Officer Reflections: Division Leaders Specialist Tommy Gonzales “I loved my past two years of Key Club very much. My second year of Key Club was so much more different then the first. As part of the Division Leadership Team for Key Club overall, it has been tough. You have many tasks and challenges, and people more than likely will not realize the hard work; they don't even know about your school work either! You may be harassed time by time or even receive unnecessary remarks. But this shouldn't bring you down from something you love very dearly. It takes motivation, determination, and potential to go through the challenges. So for future officers, Division leaders, District leaders, please be prepared, and keep your love for Key Club! Anyways, my successes include winning and helping Bui with Fall Rally! I thought of spirit supplies and spirit ideas. Less-than-successes were my cheers... Let’s not talk about those. My greatest triumph was truly being able to meet new people and help them in any way I could; this is experience overall is something I won’t soon forget. Sincerely your babe, Tommy Gonzales the Coolest.”

Executive Assistant Johnny Yang “The 2013 to 2014 Key Club year has given me new friendships and new experiences. In the beginning of this Key Club year, I attended my first District Council meeting (DCM for short), which inspired me to serve my club and division in the future. Throughout the year, A-Tech Key Club completed over 2500 service hours! Our club has served the community, and we, the Key Clubbers, made a difference within our community. One of my first Key Club service events was Greek Food Festival, where I volunteered to make salads with my fellow Key Clubbers, and it allowed me to bond with the volunteers while helping others. Nonetheless, my favorite Key Club event would have to be Fall Rally South. At Fall Rally South, I cheered for our division, bonded with the members by riding rides, and met Key Clubbers throughout Southern California. As I continued to attend DCMs and service events, our LTG, Christopher Bui, notified the division about an opening for D28N Executive Assistant, and I took this opportunity to serve my division. I applied to be the Executive Assistant to inspire other Key Clubbers throughout the division as to what Key Club is all about and to make a difference in my community. This Key Club year has been amazing because of the Key Clubbers I met throughout the year and the experiences that I have gained.”

Officer Reflections: Treasurer and Editor Treasurer Brandon Owens “This year, Key Club has surprised me again, even more than before. Being an officer allowed me to have more fun and do more for the club than ever before. Hanging out with the board was a blast, through the good and bad times, and my only regret is that it’s almost over. My favorite part of the year in Key Club had to be at the Fall Rally South spirit session. I thought I knew how to scream and cheer, but the phoenixes challenged me to a new limit, as I was leading in the front row of D28 North. In the end, the phoenixes even won, which made the experience all the better. The best event as an officer had to be the dodge ball game. I’m not going to lie: it was hectic at first, setting up a bracket with mixed teams that kept joining at random moments, but it was very rewarding, and the event was very successful. We raised so much money for the club and for March of Dimes, and as Treasurer, that made me feel incredible. The successor as Treasurer is Stanley Yip, and I must say I couldn’t think of a better person to replace me. From the short amount of time I have had to get to know Stan and train him, I can tell he is smart, hardworking, and spirited. The 2013-2014 school year was even better than before, and I am so excited for my final year as a Senior in Key Club.”

Bulletin Editor Daniel Lang “There are too many words to write and too little space to fit them. This year has been utterly phenomenal. At last year’s elections, I’d never thought I’d end up Bulletin Editor (and back in my sophomore year, I was a guy who’d written many an article!) At the onset of my exciting term, I’m certain fate had put me here for a reason. It was my appointment as Bulletin Editor that led me to start using a camera again… barely two days after Kite Day. (May the Fourth be with you~) As an officer, I built up a new, awesome website with newsletters each and every month of my term (following Key Leader 2013). At the DCMs, I met so, so, many different leaders from around the Vegas valley. We helped each other through the rough times, and we all learned from the trials. At the Officer Training conference, I met Valley’s Bulletin Editor, and together, we united all Editors around the city. It was Key Club that inspired me to do so much to unite my home, school, and community. Key Leader may have been the first step, but all steps since have been my own. This year, I created my own school-wide event: Survival of the Wittiest. It was fantastic. From Member Recognition, I’ve become inspired to bring A-Tech up, in bigger committees, more Kiwanis events, and more interclubs. The Club Video was great – but the Year-in-Review will be greater. During these final months, I’ve had long to reflect on how far we’ve come and how far we’ve yet to go. We won Fall Rally South. It was our spirit. Meeting with former A-Tech Key Club officers and other officers around the valley have been especially insightful experiences, and I hope to apply these learnings to next year (and all across D28N, I hope!) Less than a week ago, I personally created the colossal banner which now stands in our atrium – a physical form to our beaming masses. My final A-Tech Newsletter is this. I sincerely have given my all to train Robert Macaibay and Carmen Chan towards their greatest potential. They are the legacy of A-Tech Key Club’s Editors – the first of their kind to be split in two positions. I look forward to what amazing things they will do to unleash the spirit of CNH Bees, Region 5 Zombie Penguins, Division 28 North Phoenixes, and A-Tech Mavericks.”

The Final Officer Reflection: President President Halley Darwin “Leading this year’s Key Club was an extraordinary experience for me. Coming into the year, the board and I had great ambitions for Key Club. While some were not brought into fruition, many were still accomplished. An ultimate goal was to focus on service and to create a stronger link between the members. It’s been a phenomenal journey seeing how much service has been the catalyst to the creation of friendships, leadership, helping our homes, schools, and communities flourish and thrive, and seeing it illuminate the good in all of us. There have been so many memorable events this year such as Kiwanis Kite Day, the Greek Food Festival, ice skating socials, the Rock ’N’ Roll Marathon, Red Dragon Events, Three Square, etc., and it couldn’t have happened without YOU, THE MEMBERS!!! We truly embody Gandhi’s words of wisdom, because we are “the change we wish to see in the world.” It’s been an honor working with individuals who not only selflessly serve you, the members, but also have so much passion they have for our KEY organization. I know I haven’t said it as much as it is deserved, but I sincerely thank the 2013-2014 Officer Board, because they helped make this year possible, and they were my rocks, my support, my ohana. Although I would like to have led our club stronger and brought more socials and fundraisers to the table, I know your new President Jessica Dimalanta and the 2014-2015 Officer Board will accomplish not only that, but will also take the club to new insurmountable heights. My goal to have a solid club with committed and passionate members was certainly fulfilled, and I certainly attribute this success to the other officers and you, brilliant Maverick-Phoenixes! My motivation throughout this whole year has been to make a memorable year and to do it for YOU, the members. In retrospect, there are both an equal amount of personal feats and failures.

I have certainly learned a lot from this year: I’ve learned that failing is only human and you can either take it with defeat or you can take it as learning experience; to not be so malleable under criticism and do the best you can; to try to always improve, be audacious, and try new things; and always lead boldly, creatively, and most of all, passionately~!! Key Club has taught and given me so much, and I am the utmost grateful for getting to serve so many amazing leaders at A-Tech! I hope that Key Club has been an incredible, unforgettable chapter in your high school career, and I hope it has lead you to be bold leaders who have found a key which will always help you to unlock golden opportunities of personal successes and triumphs. It has been an utmost pleasure serving you throughout the 2014-2015 school year. Thank you ATech Key Club. Thank you for such a great year. <3”

Asian Pacific Amer. Youth Leaders’ Symposium Everything APAYLS! “APAYLS, hosted by Bamboo Bridges at William S. Boyd School of Law in UNLV, was a fantastic experience to learn about various topics that conflict in today’s society… as well as learning about leadership! After arriving, I was relieved to see some familiar faces (from A-Tech and then some)! There were about fifty people that attended, many Asians of sorts. After the introduction of the members from Bamboo Bridges, we met a few more significant people. When we were ahead of schedule, one of the ladies taught us a Clapping Routine, and we met the people sitting around us. I talked to a few people from LVA, which I shared a good conversation with. After we were back on schedule, Presentation 1 was community awareness on human trafficking (very relatable since I did my NHD project on human trafficking). We learned how the issue affects society and some ways to reduce the rate of human trafficking. Some people asked pretty deep and in-depth questions. The next presentation was on Career Building; I thought this was one of the most interesting presentations because we heard from a successful medical student, Shah Ahmad, who talked about his experience and process of getting into medical school. (He went to Cornell!) Next presentation was finally… on Leadership Skills! We learned 10 Great Leadership Tips! After that, we had lunch; choices were sandwiches, pizza, rice, and chicken. We just sat around socializing with the people we knew (or didn’t know!). After lunch, we came back and did an icebreaker; we broke into smaller circles and learned each other’s names by using a special movement each of us made up. We talked about embracing diversity and acknowledging our culture so we made up a list of Asian stereotypes from good to neutral to bad ones. I thought it was pretty funny because of some responses we got! After a nice bonding time with the smaller group, our next presentation was from a CCSD board member who talked about some specific issues going on in CCSD. After that interesting talk, our next icebreaker was the Car Dance, which was taught by one of the leader’s daughters. Finally, the last presentation I stayed for was also on community awareness – teen dating violence. Although I didn’t stay for the whole event, I received a great insight on leadership skills and on the issues going on in the community. I learned a lot in the APAYLS and had a lot of fun meeting new people. (Asian cuties, just kidding LOL.) Overall, this event was very informative and educational. Each presentation stuck out differently to every one of us in the room, depending on our background and issues. It was a great experience and I enjoyed my time there.”

APAYLS: Quick Recap “The word “symposium” probably sounds dull to most of the people when they first heard about this event, but APAYLS is definitely a phenomenal and must-go event for high school students. Why? The annual Asian Pacific American Youth Leadership Symposium (APAYLS) helps adolescents (us!), to recognize our strengths, weaknesses; set personal, career goals; build self-confidence, self-esteem; and refine communication skills. The 4th annual APAYLS took place on March 8, 2014, at William S. Boyd in UNLV. Throughout the symposium, I heard presentations from different professionals from various fields; a lot of these presentations were pretty interesting and educative. The icebreaker in between these presentations was the best part of them symposium (car dance, naming-circle, and the clapping game); the icebreaker absolutely served as a great communication/interaction tool between the organizers and the attendees. Despite all those wonderful presentations and icebreakers, Bamboo Bridges even provided the attendees a nice meal/snacks and a free backpack of stuff (folders, pen, ruler, notebook, a college guide and other informational pamphlets)! At the end of the symposium, I received an elaborate certificate from the U.S. Senator Harry Reid for my participation in the 4th Annual Asian Pacific American Youth Leadership Symposium. I’ve attended APAYLS for two years in a roll now, I learned so much and I made some amazing friends through this symposium, and I will absolutely attend this symposium again next year.” - Yu He (10th Grade)

Leaders of Tomorrow: Conclave 2014

Fate of the Phoenixes “Conclave. Such a significant event occurs only once a year, and it is certainly one you don’t want to miss! In the line of RTC, FRS, DCON, ICON, and Key Leader, Conclave is one of the most special: Key Club members have the distinct opportunity determine the fate of their next club year: to choose their division lieutenant governor – and they needn’t leave their city to do it. D28’s Conclave, as usual, was held at Legacy High School. I walked: the winter breezes made for a chilly trek, but the journey was well worth it. Not long after I arrived upon Legacy, I found Jessica Dimalanta. With help from some other girls within D28N, we found the entrance. Much like the joint-DCMs of summer, we were greeted by all sorts of energetic and spirited leaders from around the Vegas valley. The Division Leadership Teams were there, signing us in. Unlike the other huge conferences/conventions, where there would often be workshops or spirit battles, Conclave’s purposes are two-fold: elect your next LTG and hold your DCM. The event formally began with an introduction in the gym by our current LTGs of D28N, D28S, and D28W, Bui, RJ, and Jerry, respectively. Quickly, then, the divisions were dismissed to their voting locations. Last year, D28N was sent to the auditorium; this year, the phoenixes went to the cafeteria. Rey Rey Acob (VCTA) went up against Crystal Wu (Rancho). Between their incredibly spirited speeches and the nerve-racking voting session, we held our February DCM. During the break session, I got to see some candidates from around the division. Unlike last year, where I’d only really known people from A-Tech, this year, I’d been able to recognize so many from Rancho, Coronado, Liberty, Valley, and more. It was a humbling experience. When the votes had been counted and the DCMs had concluded, all divisions reported back to the gymnasium. In a feels-inducing announcement ceremony (which I happened to record), the winners were announced: D28N – Rey Rey Acob; D28S – Sheldon Wong; D28W – Andriyah Anouvongs. Having met Sheldon and Andriyah over an ice-breaker at the July 2013 DCM, it was amazing to see how far they’d come nearly a year later. I’m fully confident CNH is in great hands for the 2014-2015 Key Club year.”
