On May 5th, 23 key club members woke up bright and early to head down to UC Irvine University to volunteer at the MS Walk, a walk to spread awareness and support for Multiple Sclerosis. Volunteers received wonderful bright orange shirts and started the day by cheering on walkers with our legendary key club spirit! We received orange and yellow pom
poms, noise-makers, and little mega phones and let our spirit unleash. Then members got a chance to help out with a Soup Plantation booth, giving free muffins and cookies to walkers. Finally, members cleaned up dog bowls, take down chairs, posters, cardboard boxes, trash, signs, tables, cleaned tables, and closed for the day. What a day!

MADD walk was great because we got to honor lives and raise awareness and have fun and eat with key clubbers.� -tommy dang
On May 12th, 20 members arrived at Huntington Beach to volunteer at the MADD walk, Mothers Against Drunk Driving organization. We started off with a couple ice-breakers with our LQ Kiwins and got to work by moving tables and cheering for the Walkers! Members pumped up spirit with fun cheers and music.. Collaboration with other
schools from our division and our LQ Kiwins, we passed out waters and kept up the walking spirit. Members also participated in cleaning up after the event was over, folding tables, going on trash duty, folding tables, and packing up.
This month’s DCM was held at Huntington Beach after the Walk like MADD event. D4N members got their toes sandy and comfortable while getting to know their new divisional board! LQ Key Club brought 20 members and participated in ice-breakers after the DCM , making new friends from Rancho and Bolsa and other schools! We were excited to hear upcoming news about new Division T-shirts! LA QUINTA KEY CLUB

- On May 20th, 31 key club members met again at Huntington beach to give a hand at HB’s annual Duck-a-thon, a fundraising festival for HB clinics. Our first shift was in charge of Children’s center, where members manned festival games, jumpers, and a duck-decorating center. We even got to decorate our own rubber ducky ! Members helped clean brushes, replace glue, played with kids, and helped with
different booths at the festival. It was a refreshing day at the beach with a lot of fun in the sun!
“The Duck-athon was so really fun! I love working at booths and with kids.”
If there is another thing LQ Key knows better than service, it is baking cupcakes. On May 19th, our
officers and a couple of members gathered at the front of Albertsons with massive trays of beautiful cupcakes, brownies, and cookies that would put Sprinkles to shame. We made wonderful posters and had wonderful customers! After 9 hours dedicated to sweets, we successfully made 230$! We reached our fundraising goal for the month and are currently in another
candy fundraiser for our club, DCON, and PTP!

He has this contagious laugh and smile that always keeps the day going.”-Mindy Vo
