Message From Your LTG
July DCM Recap
For the July DCM, Division 38 West hosted their first Hunger Games at Sergeant Steve Owens Memorial Park! Each attendee was placed into 1 of 4 Districts: Mining, Fishing, Agriculture, and Luxury! Each team battled through a series of games, most of which involved water balloons to stay cool in the hot weather. This included a chant-off, relay race, capture the flag. and a water balloon fight at the very end. As a service project, members were asked to bring as many cans of food as they could, and they did not disappoint! The next day, LTG Aubrey took the cans to Grace Resources and served hot meals with other Key Clubbers. Thank you to all that attended! May the odds be ever in your favor, Owls!
Club Updates
Quartz Hill High School
In July, Quartz Hill Key Club has held an officer board meetings to discuss fundraisers, service projects, and other activities they would be doing this year. [Submitted by Aleksandra Brajanovska]
SOAR High School Over the past month, the Key Clubbers of SOAR went through classrooms during the summer school session and encouraged the freshman to become members. They taught them chants from Fall Rally, informed them on what Key Club is all about, and even held their first meeting! [Submitted by Michael Vallin]
Highland High School Highland Key Clubbers partnered up with another club, Solutions Club, to hold a blood drive. They held an officer board meeting as well to share ideas and plan their first meeting. [Submitted by Arieanne De Guzman]
Recognitions Member of the Month: Ben Haering
Ben Haering is once again deserving of being named Paraclete's Member of the Month! In the past month, he has attended the June DCM/OTC, Paraclete's St. Vincent de Paul Drive and Social, as well as the July DCM! At the July DCM, he stayed after and picked up popped water balloons and trash with his brother Josh. Additionally, he expressed interest in stepping up as an officer. Ben Haering is and always has been a great example of a dedicated Key Club member, and he will surely continue to contribute greatly to the club's success. Ben is hardworking, dedicated, and involved, and he definitely deserves recognition!
Officer of the Month: Michelle Garcia
For the month of July, I believe that Littlerock's Treasurer, Michelle Garcia, deserves the title of "Officer of the Month". She is very dedicated when it comes to her position being that she has held that role for the past three years! She is very experienced and is someone who the club can very much trust with all the financial matters. For the past three years that Michelle has been a member, the more we have seen her grow in her character. Littlerock is very honored to have Michelle Garcia as our treasurer!
Faculty Advisor of the Month: Mrs. Joanie Haynes
Littlerock is very honored to announce Mrs. Joanie Haynes as Advisor of the Month for all the hard work that she puts into this club. She is always very supportive no matter what the situation is. I am very much excited for the upcoming year since we have such an awesome advisor. Her attitude towards Key Club is very positive and always bright! Mrs. Haynes is supportive both in and out of Key Club which makes her such an awesome person and advisor. Littlerock is so fortunate to have Mrs. Joanie Haynes as an Advisor!
Kiwanis Advisor of the Month: Mr. Richard Olmstead
As always, Mr. Olmstead has been very caring and helpful in assisting all schools with any of their needs. We are very appreciative of his hard work and dedication! He has recently been elected as an International Kiwanis Trustee at the Kiwanis ICON in Paris. Though he has received this high position, he still makes time to cater to the needs of 38 West and chaperones our events! Congratulations Mr. Olmstead, the Owls are very proud of all that you have achieved!

Spotlight on Service August Focus: Children Education
Event Ideas: • Public Libraries Advocate at your local library by hosting a book drive, help out librarians, or even just simply read to children! • Tutoring - Go to a local elementary school or junior high and offer tutoring sessions. • Book Drive: Host a book drive and set up donation boxes at schools and local businesses so people may donate new or gently used books.
Organizations to Get Involved With: • Big Brothers Big Sisters of America - Provides aid to youth that are facing adversity in America • March of Dimes Prevents birth defects and premature birth • Make a Wish - Grants wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses • My Stuff Bags Foundation - Helps those who must leave everything behind when they are rescued from abuse, neglect, or abandonment
