Executive Assistant Tommy Dang | Laguna Creek Aloha Division 7 South Monsters! It may be Summer but service doesn’t stop! This past month come to an end with the closure of the graphic design contest for the upcoming Division T-Shirts (hope you submitted a design!), creating presentations for Officer Training Conference (that I couldn’t attend, sorry!), planning and publicizing DCM’s, tinkering with the interclub system, and planning the #HashtagLunchBag event (JULY 25th)! Something exciting to look forward to is the Division Leadership Team introduction videos as well as many more videos for throughout the term so BEE sure to catch them! Besides all that, it been such a great experience so far serving on the Division Leadership Team and I look forward for the rest of the term!

Administrative Assistant Megan Morris | Franklin Hello, Division 7 South! This last month has been a busy one for the Division Leadership Team. On June 6th, we hosted our joint officer training conference with Division 7 North. At this event, I was fortunate enough to co- present the Secretary and Public Speaking Workshops. For those who attended this event, I hope you were able to learn more about your role in Key Club and how you can help your club reach new heights. Looking forward, there are many exciting events to attend! We also are in the process of planning a few division wide service events so keep your eyes peeled for those. This term, I would really like to improve communication within the Division so please if you have any questions or concerns about anything Key Club related, do not hesitate to reach out to your DLT for help. I hope all of you monsters have a wonderful summer and keep serving your community.

Kiwanis Family & Foundation TC Michael Mendoza | Florin Aloha D7S Monsters! As your Kiwanis Family and Foundation TC, I have been interacting with our fellow Kiwanians and also attending their Kiwanis DCM's. It has been a great experience talking and getting to know each of them. I have also been advertising Key to College hosted my Sac State Circle K. And I have been looking for resource to charter a Builders Club. Later on into the term I will plan on getting to know the Kiwanians more so they won’t just be those people who we are required to communicate with. I have more monsterous plans but all I have too say is. See you later D7S!

Media and Tech TC Nathan Dang | Franklin What Up Monsters? Nathan "Daaang" here and I wanted to tell you all how happy I am to serve D7S as your Tech & Media TC, and I have all of you to thank for that. So far the DLT is currently in the process of creating an introduction video that simply talks about us! From the Lieutenant Governor to myself, who we are to what our goals will be for this term. Also the DLT has created an official D7S Facebook account dedicated to storing and displaying photos of division events in albums! This will come in handy later on if you plan on utilizing these images from creating projects such as scrapbooks. That is all from me for now, enjoy the reading the rest of the newsletter!

Member Recognition TC Anthony Chan | Sheldon Hello, Division 7 South! A month has gone by since my Key Club term started and serving as your Division Recognition Task Coordinator this month has been challenging. Over the past month, I have prepared for two DCMs and Officer Training Conference. The collaboration with Division 7 North for OTC allowed me to work alongside someone from another division to complete our workshop. Other than that, we as the Division Leadership Team, have started filming a DLT introduction video that will be coming soon. One goal that I wish to pursue is to assist Club Presidents in possibly opening up Member Recognition positions in every club. This is only the beginning of a long journey and I am excited to be serving you all this term!

Summer Public Relations TC Joshua Diaz | Franklin Hello monsters of Division 7 South, It's been about a month since I have been appointed as a task coordinator and I can say that I have been able to accomplished a lot. I have started organizing two division projects, one in July and one in August. The July project will be one where people will make lunch bags and/or care packages for the homeless. #HashtagLunchbag is an amazing grassroots organization dedicated to feeding the homeless one lunch bag at a time and I hope we will be able to get their support and collaboration. They have a website,www.hashtaglunchbag.org, if you are curious to learn more. For August, we will hopefully be doing a creek cleanup. The cleanup is still in planning, as with the event in July. Service shouldn't stop just because school is out and summer is in. Summer is a great time to get a lot of service hours, but more importantly, you should still make a positive impact on your homes, schools, and communities. Keep going to service events and thanks for reading.

“My favorite thing about Key Club is that Key Club allows me to serve, see my friends from other schools, and meeting new people. A few would call me outgoing but I love talking to new people. My goal as bulletin editor is to get all my duties done. Though it’s a lot of work, I enjoy it because of the people– my basic duties. I also want to be awarded “ Club Editor Eseosa Omorogieva

"I'm trying to bring this really heavy cement bag over to the wheelbarrows so we can mix it with water in order to fill it up with cement and then fill various areas with the cement we work together to create. Whenever people ask if I need help I try to deny it because I want to show my strength as a Key Clubber and convey how a passion for service and helping make a difference can make you a stronger person, in this instance literally."

Relay For Life By Daniel Leung of Florin High School Relay for Life is one of the biggest fundraisers against cancer of the year. It definitely lived up to its name. There were so many groups, teams, events, and tents. Some people even stayed overnight and camped out in the dark! Everyone packed so many things: Frisbees, volleyballs, blankets, tents, food, cards. We were able to camp out with the rest of our Division during this fundraiser and just relax, play games, and chat. It was a great experience to meet new people and just hang out. The event was very Interesting overall. There was a beauty pageant but for men! Also, it was nice to meet so many dedicated people. There were people that have participated in Relay for Life for over 10 years! It was so nice to be around such nice people who have such great dedication to combat cancer. This was the first time in a while that our school participated in Relay for Life but we were able to raise $250 for this event

Flashback to OTC Article Officer Training Conference By Mindy Phan of Sheldon High School Although, school is over for most of us, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we stop learning new things.

With summer here, we have more time to explore and go on adventures, maybe even slee You can also take advantage of this time to educate yourself and grow as a leader. And than going to Officer Training Conference?

On Saturday June 6th, at Monterey Trail High School, Division 7 hosted their Officer Training officers and members had opportunity to attended various workshops. From this event, many individuals gained more leadership skills and a full understanding of many workshops to take part in, varying from President &Vice-President workshops to Prefe Recognitions, and more! It allowed us to develop skills and knowledge to help us througho the informational workshops, we were able to meet numerous amounts of people. As well personal experience as Key Club officers and members. Overall, OTC was a great experien

The Eliminate Project Article Pie a Teacher, Save a Life By Eileen Eto of Franklin High School Pieing a teacher. Whether it be to watch their reaction, because it's funny, or to get revenge, everyone has their own motives for doing it and when money for it goes to charity the incentive level raises. At first I was a little nervous as to how this fundraiser would be executed because our club had never tried this sort of event before, but it went off with a blast! I was even a little tempted to pay extra money to pie my favorite teacher but unfortunately, five other people already wanted to pie him and I thought I should spare him. Imagine my surprise though when our beloved club president opened up the pieing to allow Key Club officers to be pied. Watching other people pie teachers was funny but being pied myself was a whole new experience. The first pie that flew at me thankfully missed, the second one went plop on my face and I literally could not open my eyes because there was too much shaving cream on my face. However, despite the personal pieing, I have to say that this event not only raised a lot to save lives but it was also a fun and refreshing event from the mundane daily school life. Even after the event was over I was able to walk to sixth period with a smile on my face and my heart beating at rapid fire because the event was so much fun. Ultimately I'm glad our club hosted this event because it was an incredible, life saving experience.

Member of the Month Benjamin Vang (Florin): Although Ben is just a member, he is not too shy to come out and attend events and meet new people. He doesn’t just attend his club service events, he attends division wide events like a DCM. Ben also attends fundraisers too, even outside of his club, such as Sheldon’s Pins N Strikes Fundraiser. Ben is a very outgoing individual who is very social and also a very active person in Key Club.

Officer of the Month Pauline Tze (Franklin): Throughout this month, Pauline has been organizing a fundraiser at Boba Tea House and overseeing the Project Eliminate money donations from the club's Penny Wars and Pie-a-Teacher fundraiser. She has been very accurate when dealing with reimbursements with fellow officers on medals, awards, and food bought for the club members as a celebration for the end of the school year. Finally, Pauline has been putting in a lot of work and effort as her Club Treasurer by constantly updating her Club’s Facebook Page with volunteer opportunities or running Franklin’s forums.
