To My Fellow Kiwanis Leaders,
D30S, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done. From memorizing the Bright and Buijee rap to screaming your hearts out at Fall Rally to raising over $6,500 for the Pediatric Trauma Program, you have truly shown your dedication and passion. You never cease to surprise me, and I am forever honored to serve as your LTG.
Yours in caring service, Vivian Bui Division 30 South Lieutenant Governor 4

SURF CITY 10 MILER

Western On Sunday October 15, Surf City 10 Miler was held Long Beach in the early morning. Volunteers went on a shuttle bus to the water station they were assigned to. Western Key Club got assigned to water station #3 which was at the Bolsa Chica Restoration. Once we got there, we had to fill up cups with water with a hose or pitcher. It was still dark so, I used my phone’s flashlight for others to see where to pour water. They provided

The dog toys were then donated to a local shelter. Even though we had a big pile of T-shirt’s still left, we made about two box fills of sturdy dog toys. It was a simple yet productive event
