A Final Message From Hey Otterdors! For one last time, my name is Jane Nguyen and I proudly served Bolsa Grande Key Club as their President for the 2019-2020 term. With my term getting cut short, I never had the chance to give a proper farewell, but I hope this message displays my gratitude well. Coming into Key Club fall of freshman year, I never thought I would be where I am today. However, I am beyond grateful to have been given an opportunity to serve my home club and to lead over a hundred dedicated members. Aside from some bumps in the road, this term was like no other. We were able to serve over 7,000 service hours, keep a high member retention, and raise over thousands of dollars for our preferred charities. Most importantly, we were able to fulfill my wish of strengthening the spirit and Ohana aspect of our club. Out of my four terms in Key Club, I have never seen members as close as this year. You guys were able to connect and bond because of one common ground: your love and pride for this club, and that is all I could have ever asked for as President. I hope that you guys keep this passion for Key Club in this upcoming term. I have no doubt that under Bradley’s guidance, BGKC will reach even greater heights next term. Although I can continue to go on, word count is limiting me, so I will begin wrapping this up. Thank you to every member, my board, Mr. Tonthat, the division, and the district for making this term the best. Thank you to everyone who believed in me and stuck with me through this crazy journey. I really hope I was able to make this term memorable and fulfilling for you guys. BGKC will always hold a special place in my heart, so just know, this is not a goodbye, it’s a see you later. Serving like no otter, Jane Nguyen, BGKC 2019-2020 President
Hey Otters, Although the pandemic has cut our term together a bit short, I just wanted to thank everyone for such a wonderful year. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and when I look back on our club, I see that we truly were an Ohana. We were able to accomplish things bigger than any single one of us can do on our own, and we embodied what Key Club stood for. Reflecting on the three years I have served in Key Club, I honestly couldn’t have been more satisfied. Although I really hate missing the two closing nights of our own home club banquet and Division Banquet, in the long run I don’t think I could trade those two nights for all the friends, memories, and experiences I have garnered over the past few years. Okay, I think that’s enough about me. To my fellow Otters, I wish you guys a great term ahead of you and many more to come! I know it’s hard juggling club duties and school life, especially for those aiming for big name colleges, but know that there’s always a way! On an ending note, I hope I left a lasting impact on this club, as I personally poured my time and effort into fulfilling my part as a Key Clubber. That’s all for now. Maybe I’ll come back as a chaperone for DCM’s or something. Signing out, Steven Ho, BGKC 2019-2020 Vice President
Greetings, Bolsa Grande otters! First of all, thank you to those who made me feel content and appreciated within the club. I made many great memories and friends that would be difficult to leave behind. Through their positivity, support, and overall friendship, I was able to finish my last term strong. Although being a secretary was a unique adversary for me, I don’t regret the actions I have made as an officer. However, I know Sunny Do will be able to do a better job than me, so make sure to support her and nag her about hours and strikes in the new term. With this, I hope you make the most out of your time in Key Club (including division events!) and your high school experience. Stay true to yourself and follow your passion. Best regards Nathan Nguyen, BGKC 2019-2020 Secretary
The Senior Board Hey everyone, It’s your 7th tech editor signing off now. It’s been a wild adventure with this club and even though I would say “What about key club?!”, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. No club has ever taught me more than this club, from leadership skills to friendly interactions to fun times with the members, key club was really it. Being an officer in Key club has helped me prosper and I thank you everyone and everything for that. Thanks y’all for making my last year so memorable, I’m glad I got to enjoy a full term before quarantine took that joy away from us. It has been an honor serving you as a very corrupt but chill and understanding officer. Peter if youre reading this, this is goodbye stop banging my line. I can’t say I’ll miss y’all, but I wish y’all the best make ‘20 board proud. Lates! Andrew Le, BGKC 2019-2020 Tech Editor
Hello Key Club, As you can tell by the current situation, school has been cancelled for the rest of the year. With that being said, here is my final farewell. My entire time in Key Club has been filled with positive memories that were through interactions with the community or with my fellow peers. Fall Rally 2019 has been the highlight of my Key Club experience and for those who have never attended, I would recommend going there for the full Key club experience, for it would not be there without it. Until we meet again, I hope the future Key clubbers uphold the duty of the club for many years to come. From, Alvin Pham, BGKC 2019-2020 Senior Class Director Key club, what can I say about key club? First off, I would like to thank Jane and Mr. Tonthat for a pleasant and memorable last term. I would also like to thank my friends and freshmen for giving me the time of my life. Without this club, my life would be completely and utterly miserable. The memories created at corn booth or the wild adventures at marathons will always bring a smile to my face. My hopes are to see the current members to stay active and pursue their passion for the key club. Although there may be times where you feel lazy about going to service but trust me, you’ll create bonds with others you never would have imagined. I hope you guys enjoy your stay. Goodbye. This is Brandy Nguyen, BGKC 2019-2020 Freshmen Class Director. Over and out.
