HAPPY DECEMBER, DIVISION 42 WEST! If you recently just joined Key Club, hello! My name is Rafael Apodaca and I serve as your Lieutenant Governor. I am so excited to welcome you to our familia through our monthly bulletin! Here, you will be receiving the latest division updates, so you have an idea of what Key Club events are coming up in the future. But you may be wondering: what's a division? A division consists of multiple Key Clubs from different schools within the same area. Our division (Division 42 West) has a total of eight clubs, being: Buena, Channel Islands, Coastal Community, Oxnard, Pacifica, Rio Mesa, Santa Paula, and Ventura! This means that if you attend a division event (most being online for the time being), there is a high chance of you meeting your friends and new people from different high schools! At your club meetings, your officers will go in-depth into the structure of Key Club and all our organization has to offer, but if you ever have any questions, please always feel free to reach out to me! I am always one call, email, or text message away and I would love to get to know you!
FLUTTERIN’ THROUGH SERVICE,
Rafael Apodaca Lieutenant Governor d42w.cnhkc.ltg@gmail.com

CNH KEY CLUB PREFERRED CHARITIES
CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK Children's Miracle Network (CMN) is a nonprofit organization that raises money to benefit hospitalized kids and increases awareness of its member hospitals. All CMN contributions directly benefit hospitals, helping to purchase up-to-date equipment, train staff, conduct life-saving research, implement outreach programs, and provide healthcare for children whose parents can't afford to pay.
MARCH OF DIMES Key Club International began working with the March of Dimes in the 1960s by holding dances, car washes and bakes sales to raise funds for medical research into birth defects. Key Clubbers around the world remember collecting dimes in hopes that someday children would be born free of birth defects. Today, Key Club members still collect change to support the March of Dimes. For more info click HERE
PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM The Kiwanis CNH Foundation recognized a serious need for education and training in the pediatric trauma and injury prevention. From there, the foundation established the Pediatric Trauma Program in 1994. The main goal is to reduce the number of children who are killed or injured by trauma.
UNICEF UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. You can support through The Eliminate Project or Charity Miles!
