Banana Digest | May 2022 | Mayfair Key Club

E D I T O R S N O T E

Me when I say ‘until March, everyone!” but then don’t come back with a newsletter until June :skull: BUT! I decided to come back with May’s edition of Banana Digest! We have new board members now, a new president, so instead of the usual two member Boards Message, you’ll see a little introduction of all our board members for the term! But of course, i’m still your (might i say very slow) newsletter editor. :). Also, special thanks to Estela Vasquez for helping add pages such as the MRP page, and the Kiwanis Corner! So, I guess in place of my member introduction, I’ll tell you the meaning of life. It’s-

What’s swinging mayfair monkeys! first of all id like to give a huge shoutout to our newsletter editor for making OUR FIRST NEWSLETTER OF THE TERM!!!

I am so excited to serve you as mayfair key clubs president! throughout this term, I hope we can share laughter and Tears as we nurture our community. for my three years in key club, you guys have given me so much, and I cannot Wait to give back and serve you in my final year.

i am an incoming senior here at mayfair! if you don’t see me at key club events , then you probably can on stage with showtime (our schools mixed show choir) or on the field with a rugby ball :P. alongside from those three, one of my biggest passions in the world has to be cooking. when i was younger i had huge aspirations to be a big name chef, just like Gordon Ramsey (less uglier, more cooler).

Key Club, Showtime, rugby and cooking are what i like to call my… FEE FI FO AND FUM. fee fi fo and fum are from Jack and the giant beanstalk! In the tale, there’s a big giant that whenever he walks, he says fee fi fo fum, making a huge monumental step that is extremely loud. Using that, these four things, in a different way, make up a huge monumental part of me!

Thank you for reading and getting to know who I am! Hopefully throughout the term I can know YOUR fee fi fo fum <3

Kiwanis Sponsoring

Mayfair Key Club is Sponsored by the local Bellflower Kiwanis Club! This means that the Bellflower Kiwanis Club sponsors our members for events such as DCON, ICON, KEY leader, and other events. This means they support our clubs financially and emotionally! They are the kiwanians who we turn to throughout the term to look for guidance and assistance. They have years of experience with a multitude of different high school leaders and know their way around roadblocks we may encounter so be sure to be extremely respectful to them.

Kiwanis Club is the adult branch of the kiwanis family tree and greatly helps us with planning and renting out the bellflower kiwanis hall for events! The adult Kiwanians of Bellflower Kiwanis have a relations chair named Donald Rey Howard and who we refer to as Mr. Howard. Our Kiwanis Advisor for Mayfair is Viktor Sanches and the Region 08 Kiwanis Advisors are Ms. Elsie Nash and Ms. Jacki Acosta.

The Membership Recognition Program, commonly referred to as MRP , is a requirement-met based system in which members are recognized for their hard work and dedication throughout the term. The MRP requirements may change every year which is why it is important to look at the new MRP each term to ensure you know how to accomplish your goals.

MRP Rubric is broken down into 4 levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum

Any Dues- Paid member is eligible for this and each bracket is separated by a 50+ service hours increase with the required number of sub criteria.

MEMBER OF THE MONTH

JESUS FRAUSTO

Jesus Frausto was chosen for May Member of the Month because he showed up to every social and service event we had, including the division events, reposted infographics on his story, and even went out of his way to go and support other clubs fundraisers! Overall, he showed just how dedicated he is to Key Club!

HEY HEY MAYFAIR MONKEYS!!! During the month of may, the Pan-American service event was held May 7th from 6 am to 11 am and 11 am to 5 pm in which some of us were assigned with picking up trash while others helped out with handing out popcorn and tending to the children's cultural booth! I personally worked at the cultural booth with many other members from our school and even some members in our division from different schools! Some of the tasks we did at the cultural booth included interacting with little kids and showing them small cultural activities such as weaving yarn, grinding maize, and playing with different cultural puppets. Service events and projects are a greatway to serve our community and even meet new people and I hope to you guys at future events!
