As one of the many clubs that Ms. Price reaches out to, Sierra Vista is writing in support of Mary H. Price as a nominee running for Advisor of the Year. It is an honor for us to be able to recommend Ms. Price. Merely from the very first interaction, Ms. Price has touched the hearts of Sierra Vista Key Club members. It started from a simple “hello” yet she has persisted to support not only Sierra Vista Key Club, but all the clubs under her guidance in all their endeavors. Ms. Price seized the hearts of the members through the warmth and care she exudes. That same warmth she emitted still shows throughout Division 35 West as she inspires Key Clubbers, leaving a lasting impact that motivates others to achieve more. Being a Kiwanis Advisor is a difficult job that necessitates an immense amount of time, effort, and passion. She constantly promotes the core values of Key Club: Caring, Leadership, Character-Building, and Inclusiveness by being a prime example. In the beginning, Ms. Price had started off with simple greetings, introducing herself and simply trying to get to know Key Club members. She began to worm her way into the clubs, promoting and encouraging active participation in volunteer events and trying to provide as many opportunities as possible for her clubs. Ms. Price is ambitious, always setting goals for herself and her clubs. She aims high to make the best of her clubs’ potential. Starting off the term, Ms. Price opened up new opportunities to other clubs other than her home club, West Covina. In an event known as the SLP Takeover, West Covina usually presents their achievements and aspirations to other Kiwanians. Ms. Price recognized this event as a great opportunity for other clubs as well such as Edgewood Key Club and Sierra Vista Key Club. Through the opportunity provided, Sierra Vista Key Club was able to understand and get know more Kiwanians as well as gain more support. Through this simple opportunity, Ms. Price has demonstrated the four core values. She cared about the other clubs under the West Covina Kiwanians, not only her home club which then led to inclusiveness. As she included other clubs in this wonderful opportunity, they were able to reach out and extend their connections and bonds, a large factor in character building of the whole club. It is apparent that Ms. Price is a leader, setting new precedents in Key Club. When she sees the chance, she seizes it and then guides her clubs with the newly gained opportunities. Sierra Vista is proud to be supporting Ms. Price in getting the recognition she deserves, in the same way, she has served us. Thanks to her, our club has immensely improved, being filled with precious memories and bonds created with the other clubs in the division. Ms. Price constantly checks up on us, making us feel welcome. She personally approaches us at events to encourage us and confirm us of our efforts.

Ms. Price encouraged the training of officers through constant advertisement of training conferences. She herself attended all of them. She willingly came to club meetings and service events to promote OTC and RTC. She told us about all the information officers would learn and how their job is done. Ms. Price actively sent texts and emails about the training conferences so that officer would never forget to tell their club about it.

Advisor of the Year | Promote Active and Unique Service/Fundraising Opportunities Ms. Price has opened many doors and opportunities to fundraise through active insistence. For example, she invited us to take over a Kiwanis club meeting where we raised over $500 for our club. With this money we decided to donate $300 to the Pediatric Trauma Program. The Kiwanis club meeting was originally opened to one club and Ms. Price took the initiative to invite several other clubs to get the opportunity to fundraise for their club. Ms. Price’s passion for the club has inspired many Key Club members to become more active in serving the community.
