SECRETARY’S MESSAGE Hey Key Clubbers! Now that school is back in session and our 18-19 Key Club year has just begun, let’s start off strong! Make sure y’all sign up for events early and follow through. Although we’re a service club mainly focused to benefit our community, don’t forget to have fun and make these memories in Key Club count. I remember my first 2 years joining Key Club… I had barely any clue what I was doing, slacked off, extremely shy and awkward and ended up getting kicked out both years. But after that second disappointing year I wasted, I realized it was time for a change in both my attitude towards Key Club and how I was taking the opportunities given to me for granted. Coming into my third year, I wanted change and worked at it to make it happen. Make every year count. If you’re going to do something, do it like you mean it, with a passion. Okay, so even though hour requirements exist, don’t be scared to go above and beyond them! It’s so much easier to go into events with a mindset to make people happy and in turn making you happy, rather than treating them as chores and obligations. So have fun, keep serving, and let’s make this year one to remember.

MEMBERSHIP PACKET MAKING KRYSTEN CASSANDRA PADASDAO| OFFICER 67 days of summer vacation and school comes around just to end it, but the busy bees of Kauai High Key Club are getting ready for the new term! On August 1, 2018, some officers of the Kauai High Key Club gathered Kauai High School in one of our advisors classroom, bright and early at 9:00 am to help make membership packets for all returning members and interested students wanting to make a memorable volunteer experience for the 2018-2019 school year and key club term. As the serving President for this club term, it was a mystery and a surprise of how many students were interested in joining and returning to the club. (125 membership packets were made!) This event allowed the officers, as well as myself, to spend time with one another, as we are all apart of the executive board, and to sync in the moment of getting ready for this upcoming term; hoping to create the most memories possible and to continue to uphold the great reputation that the Kauai High Key Club has always given and offered to the community. I can’t wait for this term to be filled with great and positive surprises and to encourage all new and returning key clubber on our purpose of being apart of this amazing club and how community service can also include fun! Not only did the event allow us to get ready and prepare for our term, but to be excited for what is to come in this term!

KAUAI COUNTY FAIR DALSON CUA | MEMBER On a Saturday, August 18th, the members of Kauai High School Key Club participated at the carnival to assist in jobs that they needed people to work. For the first shift, we split up into groups and were going around taking full trash bags and replaced them with new ones. Afterwards, we were assigned to work at the ticket booth and either give tickets to enter the carnival, or give people wristbands when they were leaving so if they wanted to return later that day. The organizers’ hospitality couldn’t have been any better, as they were all friendly towards us, always had a smile on their face, and we even got to know them better, as they talked to us and made jokes. It felt really good to help with the carnival; it provided fun for the entire community of Kauai, and the carnival ran smoothly. It was an overall success, and I can’t thank the carnival’s organizers enough for giving us the opportunity to help out at the carnival. That Saturday, Key Clubbers were able to see so many different people from the community enjoying the fair. I hope we can continue to cooperate with them in the future so we as Key Clubbers can continue to experience these events and do our share as high school students in our community.

MOKIHANA SWIM MEET BRENT TORRES| MEMBER We were first greeted by the organizers of the event with warm, appreciative faces. Then we were split into groups and given the choice of serving food to the public, delivering drinks, or providing hospitality services to the other volunteers. My friends and I decided to help out with serving food to the public because we were drawn to all of the delicious smells within the kitchen. There were not enough volunteers to time the swimmers, so my friends and I accepted the job because we would be able to see the swimmers up close and there was a possibility that we would get wet (that’s a plus). Throughout the day, we worked together to collect times and had fun doing it. The temperature began to get very hot, yet this did not deter us from continuing with the day. We were too distracted by the fun of the day’s activities to worry about the heat. Nearing the conclusion of the races and meeting new and known faces from the swimmers, I realized how beneficial it is to be a Key Clubber. Our club was treated with respect that day, and we knew that the service from Mokihana Aquatics granted an honorable volunteer service from us to them. Being a Key Clubber means meeting new people, reaching out to the public, and bonding with our community. Throughout the whole day, we were thanked by Mokihana Aquatics so many times. The smiling faces and the generosity from the community during the event showed how important Key Club is and how I am proud of being a Key Clubber.
