A Letter
From the Editor Hello Division 38 West! How are you all getting adjusted to the school year? Can you believe it’s already been five weeks since school started? I hope you all have had a great start to the school year! I know homework can be a handful, but remember to manage your time wisely and TRY NOT TO PROCRASTINATE! :)
Until next time, Jeanie Paek 2012–2013 Division Technology Editor

At the event, members walked around in a duck costume and assisted in the dumping of the ducks.

Event Updates Fall Rally South Due to the District's massive size, two Fall Rallies are held each year; one in Northern California at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, one in Southern California at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Thousands of members gather at each of the two theme parks on their selected day, one in October, one in November. At Fall Rally North and South, LTGs and Executive officers are "auctioned" off to Divisions; the winning Division is able to then spend a designated period of time with the "purchased" officer. Auction funds and a portion of the ticket sales for both events go towards the Pediatric Trauma Program. Why: Experience Motivational Programs, Divisional Spirit Rally, Meet New People, Helping out Pediatric Trauma, and Key Club Spirit. How: Contact your school's Key Club
