A LETTER FROM YOUR
division news editor Hello Suns!
How has school been so far? I hope it hasn t been too hard! Are you missing summer as much as I am? I really miss not having to worry about schoolwork and college applications, but I m also glad to be back at school. What s your favorite part of going back to school? For me, it s being able to reconnect with friends and teachers who I was unable to meet up with over the summer. Also, how has it been so far? As for me, it s been moving fairly slowly, but I know it s going to pick up fairly soon. Additionally, I know that summer has ended and school has begun, but make sure to continue volunteering for service events! Remember, every hour counts! Although I m going to be fairly busy this school year, I ll continue doing my best to keep you guys updated and provide you with as much information as I can. And as always, keep shining Suns!

VEGAN FAIRE JULY 28, 2018
Isha Bahakta || John F. Kennedy On July 28th, booths at the Vegan Faire were overflowing with mouth-watering scents that permeated the air. I was so surprised when I discovered that all of the food was cooked using vegetables! People crowded around booths to survey all of the scrumptious food and merchandise they could purchase. There was also a band that performed throughout the festival. The band kept everyone entertained as people enjoyed their food at the tables with umbrellas set out by some of the other volunteers. There were many different types of food sold at the fair such as burritos, gumbo, pizza, and tamales. Additionally, there were desserts like chocolates, ice cream, cakes, cookies, and doughnuts. The fair also sold items like botanicals, hair care products, flowers, face masks, soap bars--all of which were plant-based. At the event, I guided people to the entrance and to any specific booth they want to go to as well as nearby restrooms. I also handed out brochures that had a list of places to eat and places you could shop. At the event, it was wonderful to see so many different people that shared a common goal to follow a vegetablebased diet. Christine, a Key Club member, said that “this event was memorable because it taught me how to give directions and how to deal with people. It was also memorable because of its uniqueness. I saw people go to the Vegan Faire and come out with takeout so they can eat at home which demonstrates how casual and lively the festival is that people would come just for the food. It was also a great way for vegans to be with others who share similar lifestyles and bond over common interests.”

KIWANIS FOURTH OF JULY BREAKFAST Anh Tran || John F. Kennedy Every year, on the fourth of July, the Kiwanis Club of La Palma hosts a pancake breakfast at the annual La Palma Fitness for Fun Run. It is our club's tradition to help them serve breakfast for the race participants. And this year was no exception. The members showed up bright and early to La Palma’s Central Park to help the Kiwanians set up for the event. We helped unload buckets of butter packages, coffee creamer, and syrup. Then we filled up the ten-gallon buckets of orange juice and coffee--all before 7 am. At that exact time, breakfast was served. The members had to switch gears and start serving breakfast. Members served pancakes and sausages, while other members collected tickets. Near the eating area, several members passed out butter and syrup. Other volunteers also helped pour glasses of orange juice and coffee to the guests. Not only was this event quite significant to us, but it was also the biggest annual fundraiser that the Kiwanis Club of La Palma holds. The sheer amount of people they have to serve requires them to seek out volunteers from the Key Clubs they sponsor, John F. Kennedy and Whitney Key Clubs. In order to further assist our sponsoring Kiwanis Club, our club sold 50 of these pancake breakfasts prior to the event. This event is extremely meaningful to our club because it provides us a chance to work together with our local Kiwanis Club. It enables us to give back to the people who have supported us the most. That satisfaction is the most rewarding aspect of this event.

Pauline Doan || Oxford Academy Beach Boomba was the best event to signal the selected. It proved to be quite a difficult task end of summer and act as a reminder to everyone since everyone blended in together and no one that school was indeed coming. To be quite frank, could really distinguish one another. I didn’t know what to expect. My initial thoughts Nevertheless, it was were “Oh, this is a bit weird--going entertaining to hear shouts to the beach at 10 in the from across the beach morning” and “What are we trying to find a specific It was a pleasant going to do with so many person. Something really people roaming around?” I interesting, though, was how surprise to see Key was a little concerned since my partner knew my cousin!

I love Pitch Perfect, so this mini rainbow illusion. I absolutely adored seeing game was the cherry on top! All in all, Beach other divisions’ mascots and their merch, so this Boomba was an entertaining event that brought gathering completely made my day. As for the me a lot closer to the Key Clubbers in Region 3. I event itself, it went by in a flash. To start, as didn’t get to meet as many people as I wanted everyone signed in they wrote their name, to, but there’s always FRS! I did put my historian division, and social media handle on a clothespin skills to the max, though. Taking 200+ pictures is which was eventually put into a large bag. The quite straining, but it’s all worth it to capture all clothespins were then distributed, and everyone the beautiful moments we create and share with had to go find the person they randomly one another.

What is your favo My favorite part about DLT is the bonding that comes along with it. As cheesy as it sounds, the small moments when we all can share a laugh together during a meeting or create inside jokes, really make the DLT experience so great. I do have to admit that I am not as close with other DLT members as I’d wish but I think that just being in DLT will allow me to create a stronger friendship with many of my team mates. For example, my partner, Justine Wu, has become a really great friend of mine from just talking during DLT meetings and other DLT events. It’s really great to get close to team members because they will always be there to help whenever you need to. Being a service project coordinator really requires you to be on task and organize your time. We are all humans, so mistakes are inevitable. That’s where your partner saves your life. Justine is a great partner and I can always count on her whenever there is something in my schedule that prevents me from fulfilling some tasks. Of course, I return the favor and it helps us bond as friends. DLT truly is a second family. In the end, I will always remember the small, but memorable bonding moments of my DLT experience above everything else.

orite part of DLT?
Cont. on next page
My favorite part of being on DLT is the rest of the board! Everyone around me is so cheerful and energetic it’s hard not to feel their energy. Everyone works so well together and we all value each others’ opinions, which is a great community to be around. Yes, it’s a bit cliché to say I love my DLT but I really do. No other clubs offer this DLT board and so Im glad to be on it! My one other favorite part of being on DLT is being able to do what I love, which is to take pictures of events! Personally, I’m very interested in photography and you’ll definitely see me taking pictures at DCMs and Division Events! See you guys then!
Tu Vu, Historian 16
One thing that’s very enjoyable about becoming a part of DLT is watching your own self develop through the people you work with, along with the friendships you develop with one another on board. Personally I was a shy and quiet girl who was always so scared to share my ideas, but the more I got to know the people around me and became more comfortable with them, the more bolder I got with them. Being a part of the DLT board is a good fun experience; no matter what position is held, you make a lot of new friends on board, through members and even other divisions.
