o r t n I d r a o B t c i r t s i D FEATURING District Secretary Sylvia Kwon
Hi Jaguars! This is your District Secretary Sylvia Kwon for the 2014-2015 KIWIN'S year! I'm a senior at Glen A. Wilson High School and I've been a KIWIN'S member since freshman year. A little bit about myself is that I play volleyball, I love watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix, I absolutely love avocadoes and frozen yogurt, and I love studying at Starbucks. Up to this point, I can say that KIWIN'S has made drastic differences in my life that has shaped me to grow out of my weaknesses. The origin to how all this even started dates back to when I spent the best time of my KIWIN'S life at Fall Rally South my sophomore year. It was the time when I discovered all the things I wasn't aware of about KIWIN'S, and it sparked my interest for this organization. I actually had that moment of chills down my spine when I witnessed the passion and spirit that the members expressed; I legitimately wanted to experience that same drive. Your very own LTG actually asked me to write about "how much I love Elaine." So I'll tell you how much I love Elaine: My love for Elaine burns with the intensity of a thousand splendid suns HAHA. Anyways, I'm really hoping I get the chance to meet some of you Jade-ers this year, and also if you ever need me, don't be afraid to contact me at any time!

Message from the District Treasurer Hey Jade Division officers and members! I hope you all have been doing well now that the academic season is back in full swing! It has come to my understanding that many KIWIN’S officers have been facing issues with turning in their dues. Do not fret, you are not the only ones. As of know, Key Club International has confirmed that all clubs in the KIWIN’S district are unable to process membership dues because of technical issues. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused many of you and I will be working along with our international trustee to resolve these issues as soon as possible. Your efforts will not go unnoticed as there will also be an extension to deadlines previously set by Key Club International. As soon as I receive any information, I will let everybody know! Updates will be sent directly to your lieutenant governor, as well as your presidents and treasurers. Thank you for your hard work and patience; KIWIN’S would not be this great if it were not for your dedication and passion!
Yours in service, Allen Pham

Executive Assistant Kay-Kay Kho Hey Jade! My name is Kirsten Rose Kho, but i preferred to be called Kay-Kay. I was chosen by Elaine Cheng to be this year's Executive Assistant on the divisional board. I'm VERY excited to have this position. I am only a freshman, yet I have found love for KIWIN'S in the first few weeks. I've never felt so close to such a common group if people ever in my life. I applied this job for many reasons. One, is because i was encouraged by Hercules KIWIN'S President, Nicolette Cruz. She believed in my ability to have full potential in this job, and it persuaded me. Then, there was my love and joy for the program. I'm always trying my best to go to all events and participate in all ways. To have a position would help me get even MORE involved and get complete satisfactory for knowing that I am helping more in a certain way. The last reason is that, I have a true passion for working hard, especially with things I enjoy. I may be only in 9th grade, but I consider myself advanced, organized, neat, productive, and SOCIAL. Being Executive Assistant under Elaine is a true honor. To work with people who are so skilled and knowledgeable in KIWIN'S helps me feel comfortable with my roll. I, Kay-Kay, am proud to be with you all and getting to know everyone. Going from a rough middle school to a happy, successful freshman year is amazing. Thank you for this opportunity to better myself, help others, and be the best I can be.

To attend a Divisional C Malie Chow Richmond HS
Hi my name is Malie Chow. I am a 10th grader attending Richmond High School. Some facts about me, I love to sing, I'm mien and laotion, I'm pretty loud and cheerful when you get to know me and I play volleyball. So, this past Sunday I went to DCM. Its was pretty fun and loved the idea of meeting new people around the bay area and getting to know them and whatnot. Totally fun and worth the time. The reason why I joined KIWINS is because, well my cousins and friends were in it and it sounded really fun and why not have fun and meet new people while doing community service/helping others. I've always heard about KIWINS, but this year I finally joined and loving so far! Totally recommend it!
Delina Truong Oakland HS
I'm Delina and I'm a freshman at Oakland High. At DCM I liked how I got to meet new people, and our very interesting icebreaker game thingy because it was really funny. I joined KIWIN’S because my friends told me about kiwins and how we help the community and meet people/ make new friends also that it's a lot of fun.

Council Meeting (DCM) Juan Palabrica Hercules HS
I'm Juan Pablo Palabrica. I'm a junior in Hercules high school. In DCM, I really liked the connectivity of all the schools within the division, the amount of future events mentioned and of course not to mention the fun activities. I joined KIWIN'S because for a while I've been told by everyone who's in it how they do community service and help others yet they have fun doing it so I wanted to see for myself and they're right. About me? Well I have two passions, swimming and photography. I was actually born and raised in the Philippines so I've seen first hand the hardships there and seeing how KIWIN’S helps others here is something that I enjoy.
Deanne Presas Hercules HS
My name is Deanne Presas and I'm a sophomore at Hercules High school. Since this was my first DCM, I thought it was pretty interesting on how we got to hear about what the other schools in our division had done, as opposed to what we do individually at our own school. What I liked the most was that we didn't feel totally awkward and it was really nice how we were so open with one another. The reason why I joined KIWIN’S was to help my community, meet new people, and to help get rid of my shyness. A fun fact about myself is that, I have matching moles with my mother!

“Recruiting new members was very nice because it is always better to have more members! We recruited members by having friends tell other friends, by cheering loudly in order to get students attention, and by having members go around and telling students about KIWIN’S and why they should join” - Shawndy Saephan
