Hey Key-Clubbers! I hope you all had a restful break! This month has been a busy one so I’m proud of you all for getting through it. Key Club board has been busy managing club elections which will be held February 29th! Make sure to come and listen to everyone’ speeches. Every vote counts! Another exciting event happening is Conclave, where our president, Manya, will be running for our divisions LTG! Make sure to come if you can. Definitely check out the upcoming and updates page to see what events are coming up. Some notable ones include the San Carlos Community Center Crab Feed, which I will be attending so I hope to see you there, and the weekly tutoring Ralston kids event, which is a great opportunity to channel your inner teacher. Asn always, you can reach out to me or any other board members with any questions or concerns. All contact information is on the last page. See you next time!
Signing off,

Hi Key-Clubbers! In January, members were working hard to get MRP! We have officially submitted all of the qualifying members to the district level (California-Nevada-Hawaii). In February officers and publicity committee worked on their portfolios for the district! Be sure to attend DCON to be recognized at the event and support others who qualified for MRP and Distinguished officer positions! Speaking of DCON, I highly recommend everyone attends!! We are very lucky to have it so close by this year: Sacramento! (For reference it has been in Anaheim and Reno.) It's a weekend trip where we get to meet other Key Clubbers, get training, and get lots of Key Club spirit. Finally, we have elections coming up! At our next meeting we have club elections: 2/29! Encourage all Key Club members to attend. Please remember that campaigning is strictly forbidden by Key Club rules. We also have conclave on 2/24 at the San Carlos Youth center. We will be hosting it so I highly recommend everyone comes to see how Key Club works on the division level. Hope to see you all there!
Best,
Manya Sinvhal Kumar Manya Kumar Carlmont Key Club President 811704@seq.org

During the bookmarks for Liberation Library key club event, four other peers and I made bookmarks for kids in juvenile centers. The bookmarks included positive quotes/pictures or maybe serious advice that has helped individual attendees in life. I thought the event was well-crafted to suit people looking for a pretty relaxed volunteer opportunity. It was just chatting, making bookmarks, and the eerie silence of the library to keep one company. Overall, a great volunteer opportunity to help struggling kids along with me and my college endeavors.

The Rise Against Hunger event on Saturday, January 27th, was an amazing way to help people around the world while simultaneously getting to know members of our own community! This event allowed us to package meal kits for underprivileged families and children, with each kit containing 6 meals. We added the different components of the meal, sealed the kits, and labeled them. We ended up packaging over 15,000 meal kits, and had a great time doing it. This is an event I will definitely be attending again, and would recommend to other Key Clubbers as well! Addya Agarwal, Freshman

Making birthday cards for the elderly over Zoom on January 21st, 2024, was a great way to contribute to the community without needing to travel anywhere! This event allowed us to use household artwork supplies to create colorful, creative cards for seniors’ birthdays. It gave us the chance to make a meaningful contribution to the community right from our own homes. Overall, I loved how simple and convenient it was to make the birthday of a senior a little bit brighter through this event. I look forward to attending similar events in the future, and I hope other Key Clubbers will as well! Addya Agarwal, Freshman
The Birthday Cards for the Elderly event was a great event to participate in! It was over Zoom which was very convenient, and it allowed me to work with my own materials from home. I would definitely do this event again. I made cards with drawings and notes inside of them. We hope that these cards brighten a senior's day on their special day. Daniela Cuadros, Sophomore
