WHS X OA X SHS BACK TO SCHOOL

Our August DCM, D30 the Explorer, took place on Saturday, August 22nd! This DCM was held in part with our sister division, Division 30 North. From 4-6PM, we were able to bond with other Key Clubbers! The DCM started with each division holding their own monthly meeting. Before this, everyone was welcomed into the main meeting with upbeat music playing until it started. We were split into our two divisions soon after the clock hit 4 o’clock. After we recited the Pledge of Allegiance and Key Club Pledge, we went over old business like our previous July DCM, the August Kiwanis DCM, and MNT fundraiser. Starting with new business, September DCM was announced to be on September 19th on Zoom (Make sure to attend!). Spirit gear order forms were announced to be coming soon and the rest of the spirit gear designs were shown including hoodies, sweatpants, bucket hats, stickers, lanyards, and plushies! Also, our division is holding a fundraiser for bundle sunshine grams with cake pops, paper stars, stickers, a plushie, and a note for only seven dollars in case you’re interested! We have served 50.2% of our goal for service hours and are at 13.7% for PTP funds! Yay! There’s so many ways to help donate and many fundraisers going throughout our division! Afterwards, recognition took place. In fact, for Member of the Month, a member from our school was recognized. Congrats to sophomore Srinidhee Siravaj! We also won 3rd Shining Club of the Month, so that’s amazing! Our personal DCM got cut short due to time, but that meant it was time to take part in activities with Division 30 North. When the time ran out, we split into rooms to play games. First, I was in a breakout room with Amy Wang, the LTG from D30N and Daniel Boulom from our division. We played Scavenger, which consisted of us splitting into teams and finding things inside of our house that match the description that was shown on the screen. For example, if it said to find something yellow, we had to show it on the screen to win points. For the team that won the most points, they’d be entered into a $10 gift card giveaway! In between each break, Love Box Notes were read aloud from people to others. Next, we moved onto the next 3 breakout rooms in a row. The first one was with our LTG Jennifer Vo and Daniel Lee, an Executive Assistant from D30N. We played charades against each other with representatives. We did a couple of rounds and it was lots of fun! Then, Michelle Kim from our club and the Executive Assistant for our division joined us with Cassandra Flandre-Nguyen from D30N to play Animal Clues! In this game, we called each other’s names and told them an animal to act out. This continued and was a popcorn game. The last game was led by Christina Nguyen, another EA from our division and a representative from D30N, Grace Lee. We played a game similar to “telephone” where people were given a word and had to mouth it with their microphones muted. Everyone else had to guess what they were saying. Overall, the DCM was loads of fun with really suiting and unique games! I definitely recommend at least going to one if you haven’t already! It’s easy to join especially now too, due to the online circumstances. They happen once a month so make it a goal to attend the next one!
