Member of the Month June
Eric Trang is more than just a regular member. He gives so much time and effort into the club. He goes to the 6 AM events, events that are more then 3 hours, and exemplified that within a month time. He showed great spirit at our Sprinkler Sprint event and good effort at the Kiwanis fireworks booth. He has not only dedication, but love for our club. -Andrew Cruz

Booth
Even through the slow sales, working the firework booth was definitely an interesting experience. Who knew that there could be so many fireworks? It was a nice, relaxing day hanging out with fellow key clubbers, listening to music, and selling fireworks. Let's not forget about the wondrous fan that kept turning off in the morning heat! Helping out people choose fireworks to light up their Fourth of July and Kiwanis to sell them was a good way to spend the morning. This is definitely an event that I would do again next summer! -Elena Llanes

Summer School
The summer school snack selling is such a nice event to bond with members and do service at the same time. There’s always a certain time when all the kids have a lunch break, so we are pretty busy during that time period. During the other times, we just have a snack ourselves because our advisor, Ms. Wong, makes/brings delicious foods for the volunteers. I believe our sales are doing very well. Overall, I think this is a great way to pump up the service in the summer! -Holly Wong

July DCM

There is no doubt that summer in Las Vegas means extreme heat and awkward tan lines, but that didn't stop the Division 28 Key Club members from attending the July DCM. Unlike most Division Council Meetings, this was a Joint DCM that united members from all across the city. Our outstanding Lieutenant Governors flawlessly executed this meeting, giving us tons of information from International Convention & Spring Board Training Conference, as well as updates about our Region Training Conference. This DCM definitely cured us members from our Key Club withdrawals, and it got us super excited for the upcoming year. Anticipation is in the air as we all prepare for a service-filled year celebrating service, leadership, and family! -Aaron Quiamzon

Check Your Sea
The Check Your Seats in the Heat event was a great opportunity to spread awareness to our community. While we passed out ribbons to shoppers at our local Smith's, we were able to pass along the message that summer is a very dangerous time to leave anything alone in the backseat of your car. Even though we were distributing information about this issue, a few of the shoppers stopped to talk to us about their knowledge of our cause, which allowed us to learn even more. I hope we are able to participate in more events like this in the future! -Elissa Gray

Editor’s Message

Can you believe it’s already the middle of summer? I hope everyone enjoyed our past events so far, and is excited for our upcoming events! They will be filled with service and fun. I know summer is going by slowly for some of you, so a great way to make this summer memorable is to help out at our events. Remember to send me articles after an event to be featured in a newsletter like this and receive half an hour of service! It’s a great way to get started on earning hours to get inducted this winter or spring. I hope you guys find my pencil and notify me. Have a great rest of the summer! -Holly Wong
