A Letter from Your LTG Hello Suns! My name is Vivian Bui, and I serve as your Lieutenant Governor for the 20172018 term. I’ve been in Key Club since freshman year, and I never expected to be elected into any executive position, nonetheless Lieutenant Governor of one of the biggest and most amazing divisions in CNH. I’m extremely honored to serve you all because I really do love Key Club and Division 30 South beyond words can capture. I’ve never regretted any minute that I’ve spent with you all. I’ve never regretted the countless hours that I’ve spent volunteering, the countless hours working on my club MRF, the countless hours spent at DCM’s and DLT meetings, and the countless hours spent towards making a difference in the community. Key Club has given me so much, and I can’t ever repay this organization. But the least that I can do it to create the same experiences for members. My main goal this term is to inspire you all to experience the same love for Key Club that I have. I want to inspire you all to become crazy in love with Key Club. Through organizing new and exciting DCMs, through finding and publicizing cool service events, through guiding a passionate Division Leadership Team, through small interactions with you all, I hope to help you all find your Key Club moment and to make a difference in all of your lives. Admittedly, I am not perfect, and I know this journey is going to be rough at times. But just bear with me. Together, I know that we can accomplish so so so much. I really can’t wait to serve you all this year, and I hope you are all excited to experience the journey with me! In shining service,
Vivian Bui

HOPE Food Distribution ANH MAC | John F. Kennedy John F. Kennedy Key Club, along with Oxford and Whitney, participate in the biweekly HOPE Food Bank every first and third Saturday of each month. Just like any other weekends, Key Clubbers wake up as early as 6 in the morning on a Saturday, which supposedly to be a day off, to get ready to arrive at St. Irenaeus Church to help out with the morning food bank. As usual, we helped set up donated food on tables and bag fruits and vegetables for more convenience as the people arrive.
with over twenty volunteers from our club alone. Despite the food bank being such a small event, being able to help out with it in the morning always brighten everyone’s day up. It’s heartwarming to see such direct impact we have on the community and through the food bank, we are able to learn to appreciate what we have more and how to give back to the less unfortunate.
Even though HOPE Food Bank is a small local event, the amount of volunteers willing to help out is increasing significantly as time passes. I still remember my first time volunteering at HOPE Food Bank, there was as little as only two to three volunteers from Kennedy; but, now every time I get the chance to go in the morning, I am always greeted
