Hello Aqua Apes!

My name is Rea Angela Vera Cruz, please call me Angela or Angie, and I am proud to say that I serve you all as your Lieutenant Governor for the 2023-2024 term! I am a rising senior at Jefferson High School, at the time you may read this, I might already be a senior at Jefferson! I hope you guys all love this August Newsletter, please applaud our Division Newsletter Editor, Cat, for this piece of work. When you think of August, you probably think of school being back in session. Just know you are valuable and you got it this school year! I hope this school year will be the best for you all, and honestly contact me if you guys ever need to, it can range from Key Club questions to just talking to me about general things!

As the school year approaches, I hope you guys are also excited about future Key Club events as well. In the upcoming months, we have things like club rush, September dares, and even big events like RTC (Region Training Conference) -which will take place on October 14-15 -- and FRN (Fall Rally North) -- which will take place on October 21. Please look through this newsletter for more information, and stay tuned for future newsletters when it comes to more important information to retain! For all clubs reading this, I recommend hosting minimum of about 5 service events per month if we want to reach out goal! Remember that service events do not have to fully be through other organizations, you can host some of your own during club meetings or over zoom. Secretaries, remember to turn in the MRF!

I'm glad I was chosen to be your Lieutenant Governor, I hope we all have a fun term. Please let me know if anything is ever needed!

The Belmont Park Boosters' Summer Concert Series is an annual event that relies heavily on KeyandKiwanisClubvolunteersto serve food and drinks to attendees. It occurs in twin pines park, with attendees seated all alongthemeadow,withtheband performing on the stage. This weekend, the theme was country, with Fred McCarty & Company's band creating a fun and vibrant environment. During the event, I met many other adolescent volunteers from organizations such as Belmont's Youth Advisory Council. It was genuinely an enjoyable experience, with the music creating an uplifting mood and talking with other volunteers during the event. The Kiwanis Club volunteers were helpful and taught me how to run each station. They ensured each volunteer met their needs, such as frequentlydrinkingwater,asitwas a very hot day. Overall, I really enjoyed the event, and I will definitely be attending the following weeks of the Summer ConcertSeries!

In the Writing Letters to People In Need event, we had the opportunity to unleash our creativity through thoughtful and artistic cards. The cards had encouraging messages written within them that we hope will uplift those who struggle with mental health. We drew fun and lighthearted images to create a sense of joy for whoever reads it. All cards will be sent to "Letters Against Depression"inFlorida.

I attended the Writing Letters to People in Need event and it was very easygoing. I wrote uplifting messages for people struggling with mental health. Overall I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make someone’s day.

During the Ocean Beach Cleanup, I worked individually to clean the coast as I could not find the other Key Clubbers. Using my plastic bag and gloves, I started by picking up trash along the pathwayspeoplewerecrossing.Iwasn'tabletofindmuchlitterat the beginning other than some plastic wrappers and cigarettes. When I searched in a more isolated location; however, I found tonsoftrashthatwerelikelyleftthereforalongtime.Iwasableto fill my bag with a large quantity of garbage after some time.

During the ocean beach clean upithinktherewasaconfusionin dates. however, we showed up with buckets and grabbers and started walking along the beach, picking up trash. i mostly picked up plastic, socks, and cans. there weren’t many people at the beach which made it easier to roamaroundandgrabthings.we walked a long distance and then camebackandcalleditaday.

Duringtheoceanbeachcleanup, we as a group walked along the beach to pick up trash. I brought my own bucket and grabber for the event and I got gloves from one of the key club members. Most of the trashed I picked up includedchipbags,capbottles,a croc and a sandal. We started walking back near 11:30 and got back to where we started at 12. The sun wasn’t out and it was reallywindyonthatday.

During the ocean beach cleanup, we worked to collect trash around the beach! Though it was not an official event, we brought our own buckets, gloves, and trash bags. We found many wrappers, plastic items, and tins. We continued to volunteerdespitethefogand wind. We helped create a better ecosystem for the beach!

On Saturday, June 24th, the D34N DCM and Officer Training Conference took place at Burton Park in San Carlos. There were seven people in attendance: six Carlmont Key Clubbers and our Kiwanis advisor, Rosie Jimenez. We met up with clubs from other high schools such as El Camino, Sequoia, and more. After we updated each other on current events,wesplitoffintoofficergroupstolearnmoreaboutour duties. I, as secretary for the incoming term, listened to a presentation summarizing the roles and responsibilities that come along with being Carlmont Key Club's secretary. It was really cool meeting other secretaries from our district, and

At KCTC, members from Region 17 were given the opportunity to participate in many workshops and meet key clubbers from across the region. The workshops were very fun and interactive as many ice breakers were provided! There was also a service opportunity provided in which key clubbers were given the task to make origami creatures. Aside from the workshops and service events, we enjoyed listening to our keynote speaker. At KCTC, we also had our July DCM which went well. The ltgs presented us with a competition to which we got a prize for completing all the tasksonthechecklist.Ontop of that, we had the opportunity to ride the train, carousel and buy snow cones! Other than the heat, KCTC was a memorable event. Thank you to those who attended KCTC and we hope to have more Aqua Ape representatives at RTC andFRN.

Aragon hasn’t hosted any events for the summer yet but we are preparing for club rush as well as coming up with new ideas to encompassanamazingnewterm.

As the start of the term begins, El Camino has been working hard adjusting to the new board and planning club rush once school begins. We are also discussing future committees in our club to offer more leadership opportunities for our members. With our plans, we also have been keeping a constant number of service hours and had attendance at KCTC and OTC to further train ourofficers/members.Currently,weareending our summer with a Kiwanis garage sale at SSF and forming the new group chats for the next term to keep in touch with our key clubbers.
