Honorable Otters
“
Our historian,
Alex Nguyen,
has surpassed the club’s expectations in many
ways. At every event, Alex is ready with his camera to take quality pictures of the members that the whole club enjoys looking at. He sets extremely high expectations for himself and work and always strives to improve and be better. As an officer of Rancho Alamitos Key Club, he is one of the most spirited and driven, always eager to help any of the other officers with any tasks. Even without designation, Alex is not afraid to take initiative and perform what needs to be done. Not only has he contributed his time, Alex is always giving new ideas and suggestions to make our club more successful. For example, in our recent fundraiser for PTP, Alex offered to make stickers to be passed out for each purchase. With his help and endless efforts, our club was able to make a profit of $100 for PTP, achieving the division challenge of the month. Overall, Alex is a unique individual who holds Key Club’s success as one of his top priorities. Without him in Rancho Key Club, we would be lacking many innovations, fresh ideas, and creativity. He may have only been an officer for two months but he has made our club more than proud and we look forward to the rest of the term with him
“ “
as an officer.
Kirby Nguyen
- Annie Pham, Rancho Alamitos
always shows up to events motivated and ready to
work. He interacts with all of the other members and helps out as much as possible. We are very lucky to have such a passionate member!

- Hillary Tran, Garden Grove
“
Erika Turcois
has gone above and beyond
her dedication continually by attending all (6/70) but one event since her first event, March of Dimes. I personally got to interact with Erika more at the Parent Culmination event and she’s a charm. She is kind, sociable, and caring. Even though Erika is a new member, she is not shy to get herself out there. I am proud of everything she has done for our club so far and can’t wait for what the future has in store for her.
“
- Annie Van, Santiago
“
I believe that this member deserves to be the
member of the month because he’s very passionate about the club. He may not tell others how much he cares about the club, however, after being observant you will notice that his actions express his thoughts and love for the club. I also believe that this individual deserves to be the member of the month because he is very attentive to the other members and his surroundings. He notices the littlest details about the members and keeps it in mind.
Van Nguyen
may be quiet, however members
have noticed how spirited he is when he’s at service events. Overall Van is a kind-hearted individual who loves to spread kindness towards everyone. He is compassionate towards others and executed the core values of Key Club on and off campus.
“
- BaoVan Le, Bolsa Grande
Thank you
with being active in Key Club this past month. She shows
Honor
“
Alan Nguyen
able Otters 2
can be seen at almost any Key Club
event whether it is a DCM or just a community service activity. He is open to doing all tasks, even the most laborious ones like gardening, without any complaint, racking up more hours than most of the officers.
Seeing Alan at majority of our club events is extremely motivational and inspiring since he is a member that
is going above and beyond with his efforts to serve.
Despite his quiet and shy demeanor, Alan is the epitome
of a dedicated member and Rancho Alamitos Key Club is honored to have him be a part of our club.

- Annie Pham, Rancho Alamitos Ever since being elected,
Cristabel Portillo
has
shown so much passion for Key Club. She is extremely
enthusiastic about being treasure and is constantly coming up with many fundraising ideas all for the benefit of her home club and for PTP as well.

- Mikey Herrera, Century

Kevin Truong
has been
to contribute to making the club run
as smooth as possible. He always finds ways to keep the entire board on
track and never fails to go beyond
his duties for the betterhood of both the board and club. He is an amazing asset to our team and I know he will
“
push boundaries throughout this term!
- Kaitlyn Huynh, Westminster
“
Right from the beginning of the
term, our club has been slow and
Ashley Ninh
unorganized.
helped
the club gain momentum again by suggesting fundraising ideas and
reaching out to other clubs at our
school to collaborate with. Although many of the board members are busy with testing, she has shown
exploratory leadership when we are

not available.
- Frank Le, Los Amigos
Thank you

La Quinta
“
On Sunday, June 11 La Quinta Key Club had its end of the year banquet at Dave and Busters. We gathered together at 5pm to celebrate what we ha ve achieved this year . We started off with the food and sp eeches from other me mbers to our seniors. They were brought to tears of course. Next were the awards that were passed out by our new term offic ers to our members to congratulate them on random stuff. Our old and new president were able to present their speech about th e year the passed and what awaits us in our new year. After, we congratulated the seniors for their year s of service with their stolls. Throughout the night, there were many talented acts th at performed to entertain everyone in the room. With that, it was a wrap to our banquet and everybod y took pictures at th e photo booth before leaving to play the ar cade games. Overall, it was a bitter sweet night as our seniors wi ll be leaving very soon but we were able to accomplish so much th is year.
