Temple City
07 Relay for Life 11 O n Saturday the 11th, key clubbers from Mark Keppel volunteered at Tempe City High School for Temple City’s 5th annual Relay for Life. Relay for Life is a 24 hour event hosted by the American Cancer Society in order to raise money for cancer research and awareness. Every year, Temple City alone raises over $50,000 dollars to the organization through this event.
Volunteers assisted at various booths such as the Luminaria or Cancer Drivers booth. Jobs ranged from cheering on walkers to help decorating boxes for later festivites. This event was overall gratifying and inspirational. As we gathered in groups to help, we were able to meet people who have faced or are currently battling cancer. -Sally Duong, Historian

hat can be a better way to bond with your fellow region by volunteering? On Sunday the 16th, key clubbers from across Region 13 gathered to volunteer for the Special Olympics. First, we met at Hacienda’s community center early in the morning and rode a bus to long beach. After, we traveled down to Long Beach to cheer for the volleyball players. Because S-U-P-E-R-S-T-A-R superstars are what they are. When the games were finished, we bonded as a Region as we played at the beach until it was time to leave. Overally this event was exciting and was a great bonding oppurtunity.

hat could be a better way to spend summer than by celebrating the upcoming Special Olympics while also volunteering? Answer: nothing. On Wednesday, July 22nd, key clubbers from Mark Keppel High School received a once in a lifetime opportunity of volunteering at Alhambra’s Special Olympics Host Town Festival. The volunteer was held at Alhambra park and was in partnership with Home of Angels, an organization dedicated to assisting special needs people. The festival was held in honor of the German Special Olympians that were being host by the city of Alhambra. In the evening, volunteers gathered in the “quiet zone” on the other end of park from the festival. We were each loaned a volunteer shirt and assigned to an “Angel”, a special needs person, to look over. With our Angels, we participated in the festivities ranging from booth games to arts and crafts. This volunteer event was overall fun and enlightening. Recent Keppel Alumna, Amanda Wong, remarks, “At the Special Olympics Host Town Festival, I was in charge of the games and activities. It was a once in a lifetime event that I will never forget thanks to an amazing organization and volunteers.” -Sally Duong, Historian
