Aloha Trojans, Wow June is almost over and most of you are in summer vacation but that does not mean that we stop serving the community. We all have more time to serve and make an impact in your community. Let's strive to use the summer months to raise money for our Pediatric Trauma Program to reach our goal of raising $5000 Next month as a division we will have two fundraisers for this program and I encourage all to come out and help out. Both fundraisers will be socials, one a dance and the other a water balloon fight, so they will be fun!! Anyways don't be afraid to contact if you need anything. I'm here to help! Your Lieutenant Governor,
Alex Tellez
Hey Trojans! I hope you all are having a great start to your summer vacation! I know that everyone is out of town with their families and extremely busy at camps and other various activities, but just remember to take some time out of your busy lives to contribute to our community. Make sure to attend as many events and DCMs as you can, keeping in mind that your home club receives Trojan Points for all that you do. Reminder to all editors and club officers that articles and visuals are due every month on the 10th, so make sure you send them to me on time! Have an awesome summer and I hope to see you guys at our next events. Your Divisional News Editor,
Sarina Sylavong

Selma Car Wash Sarina Sylavong | Edison High School
On Saturday, June 14th, Selma’s Key Club held its Car Wash from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The car wash was arranged in their student parking lot at Selma High. Members like Sean Ezenwugo, Sidney Ezenwugo, Alex Tellez, Abraham Galvin, Regional Advisor Frank Vierra, and Division 5 South Advisor Mr. Nyberg helped wash and dry the cars. The carwash was a huge success! They were able to raise $1,200.00 for PTP on just the presale tickets and donations. The amount raised was a 248% increase in contrast to last year’s total and that is just the beginning.
