United Way Walk-a-Thon October 29, 2016
On Saturday, October 29, Kaua’i High Key Club participated in the Kaua’i United Way Walk-a-Thon. The Kaua’i United Way Walk-a-Thon is an annual fundraiser that raises money for local charities and assists people in our community. Key Clubbers met at 8 o’clock in the morning at Kukui Grove. At first, I thought I would be super tired since it was early in the morning, but the Key Clubbers’ energy around me was contagious and definitely woke me up. Then, we walked around the mall with the other organizations that participated. Knowing that I was part of a group of people who were walking for a good cause was an amazing feeling. When we finished, we were able to take our club photo. My favorite part of it all was when the seniors were able to take a picture together, because it was a nice way to remember our final Walk-a-Thon as Key Club members!

Make a Difference Day October 22, 2016
Make a Difference Day is one of the largest national days devoted to community service all over the country, celebrated on the fourth Saturday of October every year. On Kaua'i, Lydgate Beach Park hosted volunteers from all over the island including community service clubs from other schools to help out in the painting, restoration, and preservation of the Kamalani Kai Bridge. It wasn't just all work, however. The event was also a great chance to bond with other people from around the island and strengthen ties with existing friends while helping to carry out a great cause. Overall, I had a fun time at the event. I never thought waking up at 6 A.M. on a weekend could be so worth it.

OCTOBER RECAP
LTG Day
October 22-23, 2016
On Saturday, October 22nd, Key Club hosted an overnight activity where we got to hang out with our Makai LTG, become more familiarized with our officers, and participate in multiple workshops. In the spirit of Halloween, the officers dressed up as Disney characters and split us into groups. We started off the evening with fun icebreakers to learn new names. As the night progressed, we attended three workshops. In the first, we learned information about the start of the club, the different leadership positions, and who currently holds the titles. We were also reminded of the Key Club motto, “Caring: our way of life,” as well as the core values: caring, inclusiveness, leadership, and character building. Next, we made little trick-or-treat bags to gift our teachers with. These goodie bags were small gestures to show appreciation for all the work they do and wish them a Happy Halloween. The last workshop helped us prosper and really challenge ourselves within the club; the officers went into detail about how to become eligible for the different recognition statuses as well as how they could aid members in achieving them. To end the night, we separated into groups and created skits to convey the core values. The tricky part was including our group leader(s), who portrayed certain characters. Not only did I enjoy acting out our skit, but it was very amusing to see what everyone else came up with. Overall, LTG Day was entertaining, full of high spirits, and very helpful as a Key Clubber. On top of making new friends, I realized that Key Club meant much more than just earning service hours.

Coconut Festival October 1-2, 2016
Kaua'i High Key Clubbers volunteered at the Coconut Festival on October 1st and 2nd. During the festival, there was music, dancing, and coconut tree climbing. Tiffany, Brandon, and I worked at the shirt station and sold some cool shirts. Then, I was moved to the beverage station to take over for two other Key Clubbers and reward them break time. Other Key Clubbers worked at the lei-making, coconutpainting, and gaming stations. At these stations, Key Clubbers assisted the kids and ensured they had fun. Volunteering at the Coconut Festival was a fun experience because I got to communicate with other people. I'm looking forward to volunteering there again next year!
