Aloha Aqua Apes! As summer is coming to a close, remember that service never takes a vacation! Service is available 12 months a year, 7 weeks a year. The Aqua Ape is never resting for service! I want you all to know that I am very proud of you for all the work you have done to serve your home, school, and community during the first quarter. During this term, I hope every member is able to accomplish 50 hours of service, and may exceed my expectations, and your own. Summer is coming to a close, and I need everyone to accomplish as much service as possible. I am also asking every member to attend at least one Kiwanis Meeting by the end of the month. If you are not able to accomplish this, I want every member to attend a Kiwanis meeting by the end of the term in April. It is very important for Kiwanis to see the amazing Aqua Apes in which they are giving their resources to. Remember, if you have any questions, concerns, or need someone to talk to, I am always here for you all! We are all members of the big Aqua Ape Ohana, and every single member in this lovely division we serve is here to support you. All my contact information is available on the division reflector, and on every DCM agenda I give out. I really do appreciate all the amazing work you all put into the division we serve, and can’t wait to see where this year will take us. Keep Calm, and APE On!

PTP
&
FUNDRAISING
What's PTP? The Pediatric Trauma Program was established by the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation in 1994 after recognizing the serious need for education and training in pediatric trauma and injury prevention. The purpose of this program is to develop local service projects to educate people of children’s safety to decrease the number of children who are severely injured or killed due to traumatic unintentional injuries. The Kiwanis Foundation is furthering the program’s mission by establishing partnerships with hospitals in the areas of Oakland, San Diego, Loma Linda, Madera, Honolulu, and Reno. The Pediatric Trauma Program funds the training of pediatric doctors, nurses and first responders, the purchase of specialized pediatric medical equipment, and the development of community outreach. The Pediatric Trauma Program is heavily supported through the generous donations towards the Pediatric Trauma Program from clubs and members of the Kiwanis Family, and the donations go towards grants to partnered hospitals, grants to Kiwanis and Service Leadership Program clubs, and PTP safety items. NevHa Foundation is currently seeking to strengthen the program and hoping to expand to other areas, partner with more hospitals, and greatly reduce the devastating harm of severe unintentional injuries.

Hey Aqua Apes!
After a summer full of service, school has just begun. With new people walking the school halls, it's that time of year to recruit new members. During club rush, remember to find creative ways to advertise your club. Use mascots, clothespins, posters, or any other creative ways to make your club stand out. Take time at the first meeting to inform the new members of what Key Club is and how fun and rewarding it will be. Look for students to become active and dedicated members! I would love to learn about all of your Key Club experiences so I encourage all of you to submit at least one article and visual for upcoming months. Have a great start to the beginning of the school year. I look forward to seeing all of you at future events! Kayla Larot Division 34 North News Editor
