DNE'S LETTERd n

Hello hello Penguins!

Happy November! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween and are now looking forward to the Thanksgiving season.

October was a busy month with spirit preps, Region Training Conference (RTC), and Fall Rally North (FRN)! It was so fun seeing you purple penguins and meeting many other wonderful Key Clubbers all over the CNH district. This was my first and last RTC and FRN :( But I can say it was extremely worth it and I highly recommend you to go next year if you didn’t this year! You learn a lot about Key Club, leadership development, and make everlasting memories with friends.

2 4 6 8 Who do I appreciate? YOUUUU! Much love to you D34S <3 In honor of the Thanksgiving season I encourage you all to thank those you are grateful for! Whether that be a quick text or talking to them in person, it can really make someone’s day.

Enjoy the rest of this newsletter! Shoutout to our wonderful PR Committee members Ivy Nguyen and Barali Kitiyaraka for designing their own pages for this newsletter! You can find them on pages 15 he blanket making November DCM!

salutations purple Penguins! LTG'S LETTER

I hope you had a spooky Halloween ! Thank you so much for your participation throughout October. Our attendance was incredible at all the events and I am grateful for all your work this past month.

Thank you to everyone who attended our RTC! Members had an amazing time attending workshops and participating in activities. If you did not get the chance to go this year, I highly recommend that you attend next year!

I hope you had a spectacular time at Fall Rally North! There were over 2500 Key Clubbers at Fall Rally North and members had an awesome time participating in the rally and going on rides at Six Flags! Thank you to those of you who also attended our spirit preps, now you know the cheers for next year Again, if you did not get to go this year, I highly recommend that you attend next year these events are where you will make some of the most significant Key Club memories that will last a lifetime!

November is less of a jam packed month, but we do have many division events! Our Service Project Coordinators will be hosting THREE different service events this month, so stay tuned for more details. In addition, our November DCM will be hosted by Fremont Key Club this month. They will be hosting our annual blanket making event. I hope to see you there!

THANKFUL

The D34S DLT shows their appreciation + shares

1) One thing I am always grateful for is our members! The DLT and I put in a lot of effort to plan events, but you guys are what make the event so successful! You’re always willing to participate and make it a fun event for everyone. Even if we face issues during the event, everyone is always willing to adapt, which I love about Key Clubbers.

2) I loved Region Training Conference and definitely made some core memories at the event. I had an amazing time with my group and our division at camp. I am looking forward to Fall Rally North. I am excited to see people from other divisions and also participate in the rally this year.

1) I’m grateful for my family, especially their support of my extracurriculars and the laughter we share. I’m also grateful for RTC, because it further opened my eyes to Key Club and all the amazing people in and outside of our division. <3

2) I’ve loved the events this term! Key Club energy is like nothing else and experiencing that at RTC and FRN preps has been so fun. I’m still looking forward to future DCMs and DWSs, as well as DCON even though I don’t know too much about it.

1) I'm extremely grateful for my best friends, who have stayed by my side as I persevered through so many hardships, and they are the only reason I'm still here today.

2) I have enjoyed the volunteering opportunities, socials, and new friends I've made through Key Club this term, and I am looking forward to future opportunities for me to learn about leadership and compassion through Key Club.

what they are still looking forward to

1) I’m very grateful to Key Club for giving me opportunities to meet new people. During the RTC, it was my first time seeing so many key clubbers, nonetheless, from different schools! :DD For this term, I’ve enjoyed going to the events such as the FRN, and learning about a game called Dungeons and Dragons.

2) I am looking forward to Halloween, and soon enough, Christmas.

��

1) I’m grateful for my family and friends that are always there for me. Another thing I’m grateful for are the division shirts because they keep me dripped out every year!

2) I’ve enjoyed all the memories I have been able to make with so many diverse people in Key Club. This club has made me appreciate providing back to the community more.

1) I'm extremely grateful for my friends and family! I am also very thankful for all the experiences I have had in Key Club and getting the opportunity to meet so many great people!

2) So far I enjoyed all the events I have been to including RTC and FRN this past month. I am looking forward to going to more bonding DCMs and DCON later this term!

1) I’m grateful for my dance, friends, and the rest of my support system for keeping me sane through junior year. I’m also especially grateful for key club and the community it has given me both in and outside of school and the opportunities it has opened up for me ❤

2) This term has been a lot of fun so far! I’ve enjoyed all the DCMs, DWSs, FRN, and other division events we’ve had. My favorite thing though, definitely has to be meeting and getting to know all the people from our division and my home club (tino :DD)! I’m looking forward to attending as many future events as I can and talking to more people in D34S!

HannahSu FundraisingCoordinator

1) I’m so grateful for the community that I’ve built throughout my years of being in Key Club. It’s always been such a positive and accepting environment and I can’t wait to make so many more amazing memories!

2) I really enjoyed the first DCM of this term, as we had a pretty good turnout and the boba was super good :)) I’m really looking forward to meeting the new key club members at future events!

ClaraTakahashi

1) I’m so grateful for Sophie, who has done such an amazing job and truly works so hard. I’m also grateful for the passion of the Key Club members who have made this term so fun!

2) I have enjoyed planning for different events and meeting new Key Club members.

1) I’m grateful for the new friends I’ve made this semester, not just from Key Club, but also meeting new people from classes and other extracurriculars!

2) I’ve enjoyed the bonding events we’ve done like the spirit prep and recent DCMs that’s brought me closer to people in our division. I’m looking forward to more volunteer opportunities I can join with my friends, and soon more holiday related activities!

1) What I'm grateful for: my friends, family, and the opportunity to be in Key Club

2) I've enjoyed attending all the dcms and being able to plan service events. I'm looking forward to more events and opportunities to make memories in the future

1) I’m grateful for all the friends I've made throughout high school and the memories we’ve made together.

2) I’ve really enjoyed being able to meet new people through the monthly division-wide service events and being able to give back to my community through Key Club! I’m looking forward to the upcoming region-wide and district-wide service events that are still coming up, and the end of the year banquet.

1) I’m super super grateful for all the super sweet key-uties i’ve met this term, especially those from other divisions.

2) I’ve enjoyed so much during this term but RTC and FRN were definitely my Key Club moment. At RTC I’ve met some of my favorite people and frn was just so hype and fun. I’m still super excited for this term, especially DCON since I couldn’t attend last year!!!

1) I am grateful for my family and friends! I am especially grateful for Frank Ocean and curly fries.

I loved how many new members joined this term and how FRN was amazing because I got to connect with so many new people! I am looking forward with meeting new people at events and how much more spirit we can get!!

One of our most popular events this month was our Dog Toy-Making Collab with Animal Welfare. During this event, our officers, Desiree and Julia, taught our members how to make dog toys using these super cute blankets (Aladdin!!) which would later be donated to the Humane Society in Silicon Valley :). We hosted two rounds of this event (both held afterschool, 9/20 and 9/30) for people with a 7th period off and those who don't. As a result, we had a wide variety of participants and overall, was a great way to engage our new members. :)

CLUB SPOTLIGHT

Claud sident

My family and friends and all they support they give me!

What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Either mashed potatoes or dinner rolls.

What is your favorite Key Club event and why?

Fall Rally North because it’s cool to see so many Key Clubbers in one place at the spirit rally. I also like having fun on rides at Six Flags.

If you could make your own Key Club Division, what mascot and color would you choose?

Cats as mascot since cats are my favorite animal, and who doesn’t like cats? As for the color, I would still go with pastel purple because I think the color looks really pretty.
