August
Member of the Month Lucile was our member of the month for August because she exemplifies a true key club member. She comes to events but she does more than she is required. Even at a recent event when we were with children she made them all self portraits! She doesn't just help the community, she tries to make sure she always leaves it with a smile! -Andrew Cruz

Welcome Back,
Are you guys ready to start a new year in Key Club? New members, how is your experience in Key Club so far? I hope everyone is excited for this fun and service-filled year we have in store for you guys. It was nice to see so many new and old faces at our very first meeting of the new 2014-2015 school year. Stay tuned for more volunteering opportunities, social events, and a lot of cheering! - Your bulletin editor, Holly Wong 4

Summer Ice
The ice skating social was a ton of fun, if you're okay with falling. Some of the upperclassmen liked to chop their skates right in front of me while I was skating, which totally freaked me out and made me fall. I ended up with a nasty cut, but it's still a great memory! (And an ugly scar too.) -Eun Hi Kwak 6

Annual School
During the annual Trash Cleanup we as a team improved our school. There was numerous pieces of litter across the school and it made Clark look unappealing. Despite the trash, I made some new friends during this event. Together we made Clark beautiful and practiced some chants! -Kevin Steven Rodas 8

Blanket Making a
The blanket making event was held at Desert Breeze park and it was a spectacular event. Even though it was a bit confusing at first on how to tie the slits together, it was a great way for everyone to bond and meet new people. After you complete making a blanket, you feel great that someone who was in need of a blanket finally gets to have one! With everyone's help it didn't take that long to make it. After we made blankets we practiced some cheers to prepare for Regional Training Conference and we also played some ice breakers so everyone could become an "ohana" one step at a time. -Andrea Lam

at Desert Breeze
Even though the summer heat decided to stay around, I'm glad that our wonderful key clubbers still love to do service! Through sweating and fabric cutting, lots of quality time was spent with one another. My favorite part of the event was definitely watching Anish kick Nihar's butt in the spirit off. It was great to see some of our freshman so ready to be involved in the key club year. What a wonderful start to the fun, service filled year! -Elena Llanes

School Bell
Operation School Bell is honestly one of the most inspiring service events that our club participates in. Working with young children, especially those who are underprivileged yet are still so enthusiastic and innocent, is a truly rewarding experience. Even if we do not get the chance to actually help the children pick out the clothes and supplies that they receive through the event, we are still able to enjoy their pleasure and gratitude. Witnessing their joy whenever someone helps them draw, reads them stories, or simply listens to them when they talk really exemplifies the overwhelmingly positive impact that service has on our community. -Elissa Gray
