Heyheyhey Division 21, “It’s the most wonderful timeeeee of the yearrrrr~”♫♪♫ Need I go on?

Apart from being allowed to listen to Xmas songs, preparing for many food comas to come, and staying up all night waiting for Santa, the holiday season also consists of something very close to our heart- Giving Back.

This holiday season, be aware of other people’s needs. Whether that’s giving a small complement, saying hello, or holding the door open, you’ll find that even the little things go a long way.

Looking for ways to give back? There’s almost too many! Volunteer at a local soup kitchen, organize a food drive, or sign-up for a shift at Christmas House, where you’ll help parents from low-income parents select gifts for their children!

Or, make friends + service= DOUBLE THE FUN by attending the November DCM: Operation Christmas Child on 11/21 @ Mariner Fire Station! We will be packing Shoeboxes to send as Xmas presents to send to kids all over the globe  No matter how you decide to give back, bring your Key Club spirit with you ; it will brighten up everyone’s days♥ I’m so excited to see what amazing things all of you will do! Hope to see you soon~ With love and service, Jessica Bae Lieutenant Governor of D21 Pacific Northwest District Key Club International

Time to officially start getting out your scarves, mittens, hats & start wrapping your hands around a warm Pumpkin Spice Latte! Hope you all have kicked off your clubs & everyone is getting more into routine! A lot of great food drives are coming up, so make sure to support your clubs & even other clubs! There are plenty of other events that are available as well- make sure to stay connected to your club & division as well! Remember to come to the November DCM- Operation Christmas Child is happening again this year- I think it's one of the coolest & warmest service projects ever, so I hope to see you there! As 2015 is already drawing to an end... Stay tuned for DCON 2016 But for now, stay warm, stay connected, & keep buzzing into service! With love & service, Sea Choi

Hey bumble bees it's officially close enough for Christmas to begin the countdown for Christmas. Anyways, no matter how good it feels to receive it's always better to give. So go out and give some Key Club spirit to those less fortunate than us.

One way would be coming to the November DCM. Bring toys and shoe boxes to be wrapped. Even though our bellies might be full of turkey goodness, don't fall into a food coma.

The holidays is when the most people need help, so try to go to events and help out. Anyways i know i'm using Anyways a lot so i'm just gonna sigh off. Bye

Hi Key Clubbers! How’s everyone been doing? I hope you all had a blast with Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF! It only costs $1.80 for a vaccine that could cure a mother and her newborn from the deadly Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus. Take any great pictures? It could be featured in the monthly newsletter! Share them with your club Vice President and have them send it to Jessica! Share your other school events too! The October DCM was also a success! I saw so many of you guys in your amazing costumes! This month’s DCM will be on November 21st at the Mariner Fire Station. Get your presents and shoeboxes ready for Operation Christmas Child! We will be sending presents to kids in need all around the globe! It’s a great way to bond with members and relieve all the stress from your homework and exams! I had a great time last year and I can’t wait for this year! The deadline for dues is also coming up on December 1st. The earlier we get it in, the better our seats will be for DCON! Thank you to all clubs that have gotten their dues in already! It’s a great time to start fundraising for that as well! March might seem far away but it will come before you know it! Plus the paperwork needs to get in by then! Hope you all have a wonderful November and see y’all at the DCM! 6

HEY Key Clubbers! Soo sad I missed you all at the BooBash! I hope you all had an AWESOME time with the little kids! It was definitely a different kind of DCM than usual but I hope it was a great social experience! NEWS NEWS NEWS!!! TRICK OR TREAT for UNICEF!! I hope you all participated in this great opportunity to “Trick or Treat for Unicef” instead of “Trick or Treating for Candy”! Remember it’s a way to help give funds to the Eliminate Project!! As fall wanes away and winter comes in, NEW inside service projects at your meetings are a great way to get your members warm and still active! Some ideas could be—making blankets, Thanksgiving cards for the retirement home or even for your teachers, aprons for the Children’s Hospital, etc! So many different ideas you could get from the keyclub.org website! DON’T forget to let your members know about the upcoming DCM: Operation Christmas Child at our regular spot—Mariner Firestation! You can get a whole BUTTLOAD of great things right at your local Dollar Store or even at places like Target where they have the section of little to-go stuff and games for cheap! I hope you all come to this DCM to give a little back! smile emoticon AND IMPORTANT IMPORTANT—DUES! Hope you all got them in on time and SHOUTOUT TO JACKSON FOR GETTING THEM ALL IN QUICK! Stay active Bumblebees and more importantly stay warm! I hope you all celebrated KEY CLUB Week somehow and I’ll see you all soon!! Bring smiling faces or weird/crazy ones for me to take pictures of next time!! --Go Bumblebees— -Devonna Abilo- Exec. Editor

Hey key Clubbers, It's the month for giving thanks for all that we are blessed to have. These next couple of months offer huge opportunities to really make a difference, and give back. It's a perfect times to have a food drive, and volunteer at food banks! This is an easy way to make someone's thanksgiving month really special. Personally my club is doing a blood drive, we are giving the gift of life at Monroe. If your club has never done a blood drive before I highly recommend it. One person can save three lives! It's amazing to see how many people participate and make such a huge difference for the lives of others. Remember to appreciate those around you and be thankful for the little things others do for you. Once we all open our eyes to this, the impact on our society will be monumental.

I hope you all had fun trick or treating for UNICEF this last month. Keep up the service! With love and service, Sammy Chu 7
