MESSAGE MESSAGE

Hey Unis!!!

Happy July! I'm going to be honest, this past month has been one of the most stressful, with summer classes, college research, and a lot of personal stuff. However, Key Club is always something I can come to for comfort and joy!! Seeing your spirit and energy throughout all of the events reminds me of why I am in Key Club in the first place! My favorite event of this month was DEFINITELY the Region 7 Beach Clean-Up. It was so nice to make new friends and see old ones! One more month until we all see each other again, and I'll be officially a senior </3 ... Anyways, I'll see you all at our bonding event with WR + Castaic, and hopefully at OTC. Currently, I am in Banff, Canada while writing this, (i hope you noticed the theme is travel/cork board esc hehe and I’m really happy about how the newsletter came out so I hope you guys enjoy it too) and if you are traveling as well have fun and safe travels :D Thank y'all for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!

VICE PRESIDENT'S UPDATE

Hi AOC Key Club! I hope you're all enjoying your summer break so far. It's been a long school year (felt like an eternity) and it's finally over so enjoy yourselves before you get back to the endless grind in a short month and a half! I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished this year and I know we're gonna keep going higher and higher next year so keep it up! Do yourselves a favor and enjoy your summer break (especially incoming upperclassmen, junior and senior year are no joke ).

SECRETARY'SUPDATE

Hey Acorn Unis!!! I hope you’re all enjoying your first few weeks of summer ☀�� Even though we may not be having our weekly meetings, there are still plenty of opportunities to be active in Key Club, and I hope to see you at some of our upcoming division/region events :DD Continue to rest, relax, and have a SLAYTASTIC SUMMER <333

TREASURER'S UPDATE

Hey Hey Uni-Acorns !! How's your first month of summer been? It's been really exciting and fun for me despite summer classes lolzzz :') I miss spending time with all our club tho so that's one of the few things I'm looking forward to when school starts ^^ I love you guys and remember to stay hydrated in this California heat !

The second DCM of the term was held on June 11th, and it was quite an event! We painted on canvases and made homemade ice cream as part of the first fundraiser of the term! The paintings will be donated to the local Boys and Girls Club to be used as decorations. Although the day had its ups and downs, or rather, the heat had different plans... everyone still had a blast painting, drinking "milk shots" and bonding with the other unicorns!

UNI-C june

CONE dcm

During the DCM, Club, Unicorn, and Officer of the month awards were also handed out. Our home club president, Maria Manalastas, was selected for Officer of the Month of June for the division, and we could not be any prouder! Maria has shown dedication, passion, and compassion through her planning and overall spirit for Key Club. Maria has been a fantastic president and we can't wait to show you all what we has planned for the school year.

PRONOUNS:

22-23 president!

WHY I RAN FOR THIS POSITION:

This club changed my life. I have never witnessed such a united club that feels so much like family The energy that always surrounds the room is so positive and spirited and never fails to put a big smile on my face The events that I attended for our division were always so much fun, ESPECIALLY FALL RALLY! I had so much fun memorizing the chants and screaming them out loud until I lost my voice Because of all these reasons, I was inspired I dedicated so much time to Key Club, so I thought that I could do way more as a member in Key Club and provide my ideas to make everyone’s experience way better than it already is!

INCLUSIVE PERFORMING ARTS CAMP

"In the Include Everyone Summer Camp, hosted at Gervais Dance Studio, kids with mental disabilities/special needs participate in a week long program In this program, they engage in fun activities together and learn a dance routine that they get to perform on the last day As volunteers, we help interact with the campers and with whatever task the staff give us such as setting up the instruments for the campers to use or to dance alongside the campers Personally, I was tasked with taking pictures and videotaping the program for that footage to be compiled together into a video for the parents of the campers to watch "

FREE TO BE ME MUSIC FESTIVAL

This music festival was held on June 12th from 36 PM at the Canyon Country Community Center. As volunteers, we helped with a variety of booths such as arts and crafts, dance and movement, and a drum session The purpose of the festival was to celebrate children with disabilities and provide them with a fun day of activities and bonding! Special thanks to members Hallea, Noah, Hasvita, Renee, and Caleb for helping out with this event

REGION 7 beach clean up

The annual Region 7 Beach Cleanup has finally returned after three years! On June 25th, Key Clubbers from D16 and D03 met at Dockweiler Beach (through a fun and bumpy bus ride) for a day of picking up trash, pieing the LTGs, and having fun at the beach! We were able to bond with the other divisions and have a great time playing in the water, eating hotdogs on the sand, and playing fun icebreakers. While our division had the lowest attendance, we still #slayed.

THANK YOU<3 THANK YOU<3
