GOBBLE GOBBLE MAYFAIR MONKEYS

it’s that holiday season again ! grab your onesie, get that hot chocolate, and watch some cool movies … is what i would say if you weren’t in key club. but you know the deal , GET THAT SERVICE GRIND ON ! during the holidays , many of us forget the privilege we have to go home , and eat huge meals with the ones we love . however, during the break , i challenge each and every one of you to take one day out of your break to help others in need . it can be with the numerous service events key club will hold , or just on your own ! i guarantee that you will get more happiness knowing that you can give others a christmas or thanksgiving, some things that we all didn’t have to think twice about .

while school settles down in time for the holidays, please make sure to stay healthy and to not let those grades slip ! we are almost there to having a good break , don’t give up yet :D if you need any help on school or other duties , there’s always helping hands everywhere for you (even me!). let’s not hesitate to use them !

to keep it short and sweet i’ll end it here , but HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SERVIN’ SOON !

WHAT'S SWINGING MAYFAIR MONKEYS

On Saturday November 26th from 3:30-6:30 pm we held a fallststivites fundraiser at the Bellflower Kiwanis Hall in which members were able to come have fun and play some carnival-ish games! There were games such as cornhole, apple bobbing, toothpick in a haystack, pin the tail on the monkey, and someone brought a volleyball and people played with it for some time. There was also yummy food like popcorn, cookies, caramel apples, candy, ramen, and free chips and water. There was also a raffle in which almost everyone was able to take something home! I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all our board officers who were able to make this event possible and to all the members who showed up! Thanks to all of you we were able to raise OVER $100 FOR THE PEDIATRIC TRAUMA PROGRAM!!

It was a holiday weekend and a lot of people were out of town or were tired from the holidays so I REALLY appreciate you all showing up! I love you mayfair monkeys :(

KIWANIS PRESCHOOL DRIVE

Hello green monkeys, my name is Izel Ramirez and on November 21 we did a fundraising event at the Bellflower Kiwanis hall. It was during Thanksgiving break and I signed up very last minute on a whim but I’m so glad I went! D13N members were there as well as the Miss Bellflower princesses. I got closer to some friends and made new ones too! We passed out many Thanksgiving turkeys to families and toys to their little ones, letting the kids choose their favorites! It was so heartwarming to see their faces light up when they got their new toys and I’m so grateful to be a part of that. It was a great event that reminded me to be grateful for the privileges I have during this season.

Pre-Fall Spirit Making

HELLO HELLO GREEN MONKEYS!

On November 9, we had our Pre-Fall Spirit Crafting + mini spirit session to prepare for FRS!!

Spirit Season

We all created cute and fun monkey headbands as spirit gear to sell to the division! Those funds would then go to PTP, one of our preferred charities!! We had a mini spirit session afterwards and went through all the main cheers and mini cheers. These would be used to perform at the main spirit battle and to use in the mini spirit battles while walking around at Six Flags!! Everyone got so creative with their headbands and it was really fun making them! Everyone did so well with theirs!!

FRS Spirit Session #1

WHATTSSSSS SWINGING GREEN MONKEYS! We recently had our FIRST SPIRIT SESSION FOR FRS!!!!! It was very fun, as always! It was held at the Kiwanis Hall and they first split us into groups based on if we knew the first cheer or not. Those who did, learned cheers 2 and 3 while those who didn’t learned 1 and a part of 2! Side note: there was a gorgeous sunset and it was so wonderful cheering with everyone with a beautiful view in the back! Anyway, we learned the cheers and then joined together and did them all together!

WHATS SWINGIGGING MY NAME IS ALLISON (ALIBABA).

November 12th along with MANY MANY different divisions attended FRS. We competed for a spirit stick, met many new people that turned into friends, made new memories with our friends, and went on rides! There were many people from different schools, divisions, and regions attending. Befriending them was an absolute pleasure. D13N arrived in the Kiwanis hall at 6-7:30. During the bus ride people rested up and sang songs. Jensen and Mikayla were singing disney songs. While I rested I heard, “and at last I see the light and its like the fog has lifted and at last I see the lightttt.” We arrived around 10 AM. Everyone wandered the park until 11:45, where we met up and prepared for the rally. While waiting I felt the nerves and excitement in the air. I could tell everyone was very excited. We quietly practiced our cheers and talked amongst ourselves. Around 1 we went into the rally. We sat down and started cheering. Jacob directed our movements and cheers. The rally then began. D13N was called first, which caught many of us a little off guard. Nevertheless, we performed the first cheer flawlessly. We passed the first round!! Then Kai and Alyssa were auctioned off; we bought them for 2,000! Then the second round began. We performed the cheer pretty well. Although we stumbled a little during the transition we know what to work on. We moved on to the last round with the ninjas and appas!! We were called to perform our last cheer first. Kai instructed us with his amazing callouts. The ninjas followed with their cheers. Then appas surprised us with their AMAZING cheers. After, we took 0.5 photos. Then it was time to announce the winner of FRS 2022. “Drum roll please!!!!” dum dum dum dum dum….. “DIVISION…….

THIRTEEN

NORTHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!.” WE WON THE SPIRIT STICK. Many people started crying, as it was their LAST FRS as seniors :((((((((((((((. We all started cheering and chanting “WE GOT THAT STICK WE GOT THAT STICK WE GOT THAT STICK AYY WE GOT THAT STICK.” After that we took division and club photos and were set of to get food and go on rides until 6:50. We ended upo getting on the bus at 8/9. Many people knocked out on the ride back. The post FRS naps are soo crispy and good. I’m so proud of EVERYONE in our division. And look forward to next year's FRS!! That's it from me! I LOVE YOU ALL :(( ( and will be severely missing the seniors next year) MONKEY OUT!!

Member of the Month

The Officer of the Month for November is Katie De Guzman! She has really showed her dedication for this club this last month. She works extremely hard to see this club at its very best and I cannot thank her enough for the work she puts forth. I have loved seeing Katie’s growth from member to officer and I can’t wait to see what these next few years bring to her!

Our November Member of the Month is Robert Ayala! He was chosen this month for his near-perfect attendance at all our events this month, and the kindness he brings to events that just want to make you smile! If you ever have had the pleasure of talking to Robert, you would find that he’s very easygoing and is always sparing an extra smile! I have had the pleasure of getting to know Robert more as he carves a place for himself in this club and I am unbelievably excited to see what he does in these next coming months!
