Arcadia | Greening Willard
Elementary
”Hello, seals! On November 30, 2024, Key Club participated in the Greening Willard Elementary event at Rosemead’s Willard Elementary School. It was very enjoyable and everyone were able to help under the guidance of the lovely staff! We pulled out weed, unwanted plants, and helped clean out the elementary school. Everyone were very friendly, and our club members bonded with each other as well as other volunteers as well!

Arroyo Key Clubbers dedicated their afternoon on November 15, 2024 to volunteering at Cleminson Fair. The fair was hosted at Cleminson Elementary School. Key Clubbers did a fantastic job in setting up each booth while making sure that everything went well. There was a variety of games at individual booth where volunteers would either helped with running the game or pass out candies to those that played the games. The event saw a big success as the event was filled with smiles and laughter.

Baldwin Park POV
On November 26th, Baldwin Park and Sierra Vista had a key club collaboration in which they partnered together to make cards for hospitalized children and also wrap gifts for the elderly! The event was a great opportunity for us to bond and get to know each other as fellow members of Division 35 West. There was a lot of teamwork involved and it was a successful event. We also played board games with the elderly and got to bond with them at the event which was a fun experience for all of us! We look forward to doing more future events with SV!
Monrovia | Christmas Parade
At Monrovia Old Town Christmas Parade we collaborated with Kiwanis to walk in the parade, throw out candy to children and have a fun time riding in the Kiwanis truck! It was super cold but seeing all the kids light up like the christmas decorations made my night!
Sierra Vista POV
On November 26, 2024 our club decided to collaborate with our neighbor, Baldwin Park. This event was at the senior living facility, our members along with BP seals assembled boxes and gift wrapped them to be used during the upcoming West Covina Christmas Parade. After our members were done, we spent time conversing with the seniors. This event was fun since we got to play various games with them and create a stronger bond with BP seals.

Duarte | ADVENTURER-TC
At the ADVENTURE R-TC members from all over the region and different club divisions participated in Division workshops and also in exciting yet competitive contests. To make these contests and scavenger hunts more engaging and higher stakes, Key Clubbers were separated into teams which were themed based on the animated series Adventure Time. These teams were then set to go head to head in competitions and scavenger hunts. The more you succeed in each of these competitions, the more points you get. The team with the most points at the end of the R-TC wins!!
There was also a variety of workshop options to attend to at the R-TC allowing for members to get a thorough idea of what each leadership position within the division and region was like. There were also a variety of crafty workshops like bracelets making, and workshops informing members on future and upcoming division events like DCON.

Mt. View | Water Lantern Festival
In mid-November, most of our seals attended a volunteer at Legg Lake where they annually have Water Lantern Festivals two times a year. During the event, our seals had to work for different types of jobs such as trash picking, working in the white tents which was the check-in section and merchandise, parking which was when we had to charge people coming to the event, and lastly picking up the lanterns at the end of the festival. This volunteer event was very exhausting, lasting 7 hours for all three days. GOOD JOB SEALS!

NOVEMBER DCM
Our November DCM was in collaboration with the Goldstone KIWIN’S, and we hosted a Thanks-KEY-giving! In potluck style and fall spirit, the seals and gators came together to eat delicious food.
What are KIWIN’S?
KIWIN’S is another high school branch of the K-Family. While Key Club and KIWIN’S may share similar goals of serving our community, we have different traditions and functions that make us distinct. The LTG of the Goldstone Division of KIWIN’s is Lisa Yuan!
