A LETTER FROM YOUR LTG BOO! Did I scare you?!?

Hello everyone! Can you be(e)lieve it’s already October? I was astonished by the number of faces that I saw at the Region 15 Training Conference. I hope you all enjoyed the day and the amazing workshops presented by the Division Leadership Team. This event truly sparked some members’ interest, and helped everyone to begin to understand the entire structure of Key Club.

Now that we are approaching the end of first quarter of this school year, things can get chaotic for our members. For seniors there are college applications; and for everyone exams, etc. But just remember to breathe, you got this! Time-management is vital, especially at this time of year. If you ever feel stressed out or need to talk to someone, just know, I am here for you! I am not only serving as your Lt. Governor, but as your friend.

This month is quite a busy one for Key Club. The Awake-AThon is just around the corner/this weekend! It will be an overnight event to fundraise money for the Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP). It’s on October 7th to 8th, and all of the money will be spent to prevent or ease trauma for children in emergency situations. Two weeks after the Awake-A-Thon, we will be going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for Fall Rally North. This year, Fall Rally North is on October 22nd. We are spreading awareness of the Pediatric Trauma Program, meanwhile, we show our TSUNAMI/RAWRING spirit as we cheer in the rally. However, in order to attend Fall Rally, you must keep in mind you have to be a dues paid member. I hope to see you at Fall Rally North rocking your division colors. Contact info: d2032.cnhkc.ltg@gmail.com

Message from the Editor Hello everyone, Atziry AKA Division Newsletter Editor here...I hope that everyone had a nice first month back at school and have adjusted back to a normal routine. Yay it’s fall time; this is my favorite time of year even though I was born in the summer...hot weather is not my cup of tea, but the cold weather is! Time for cuddling with your pet, watching movies on Netflix on rainy days and drinking hot chocolate. For Key Clubbers, October will bring lots of fun, and memorable experiences...we have a lot planned from Awake-A-Thon, to Fall Rally. I hope that everyone will be part of this month’s adventures! If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t be shy, contact me. I'm always here to hear you out.

Hope to see you sometime in October. I hope you enjoy the newsletter!

Past Events Club Day at Cardinal Newman Written by: Kate West At the beginning of every school year, Cardinal Newman puts on a club day. Key Club participates in this every year. We collect sign-ups for the upcoming year. This year we received over 50 sign-ups for Key Club.

It's a great way to get people exposed to what Key Club is all about. I cannot wait for what this year has in store for us.

Senior Center Breakfast in Cloverdale Written by: Jacob Menlove

The Senior Center breakfast was a fun event. We served eggs, pancakes, sausage, strawberries and grapes to those from the community who showed up. The Boy Scouts also helped out by bringing the food and drinks to the tables. All in all, the Senior Center Breakfast was a worthwhile event that I would go to time and again!

Past Events Casa Grande Waves to Wine Cycling Event Written by: Francesca Smith, Advisor

Casa Grande Key Club volunteered with Petaluma Kiwanis members to set up and staff a rest stop for the annual “Waves to Wine” cycling event.

The event raises funds for Multiple Sclerosis research and programs. Over 300 cyclists visited the rest stop at Lincoln School just west of Petaluma. Key Clubbers decorated the rest stop with an “Aloha” theme.

Past Events Piner Held a Successful Club Rush Day Written by: Lauren Lau

Piner High held their club rush, so Piner Key Club had a table and we had spirit. We screamed cheer after cheer in the quad, and the President, Lauren Lau, was creamed in the face because she made a goal for the Key Clubbers to raise $25 that day for PTP. They raised $26.

Suggested agenda

Relationship to Kiwanis: Events unique to Key Club: Using our club communication system: Spirit Cheers: Adjournment:

Clubs wishing to earn Distinguished status by the end of the year SHOULD hold a Member Orientation event!

n Event in either October or early November Member Orientation could take the place of a regular meeting, or be a separate evening or weekend event

Member Orientation— by Fatima Aguilar This is just like the beginning of our freshman year in high school when the school holds an orientation for us. It’s always really helpful in giving us useful information for steering our course in school. And for that reason, to help us steer our way in Key Club, we are asking each home club to hold a MEMBER ORIENTATION. Personally, I didn’t understand the entire structure of Key Club until last year. So, possibly the members you serve are curious of how Key Club works. If your home club holds an orientation, it is important to give an overview of the organization. Make sure to include our Kiwanis sponsor connection and help members to understand who they are; maybe give them some kind of recognition? Afterwards, present our unique events like Division Council Meetings, Region Training Conference, Awake-A-Thon, Fall Rally, District Convention, Key Leader, and International Convention.

Throughout the orientation, make sure to include ice breakers and spirit cheers so everyone feels comfortable around each other and they get better acquainted. Be sure to balance the event between information and fun activities.

Scare up some funds and fun this Halloween by participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF $100

$5

Protect 100 kids from malaria

Give a child 40 days of clean safe water

Feed a malnourished

What is Trick-Or-Treat for Unicef?

Trick or Treat for UNICEF started in 1950 when children in Philadelphia went door-to-door at Halloween collecting money in decorated milk partners. The kids were able to fundraise $17, which later on started the campaign. Each year, millions of dollars is collected and given to UNICEF to provide medicine, better nutrition, safe water, emergency relief, safe water, and other support to children in over 150 countries.

What does this program support?

Kiwanis International and UNICEF joined forces to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT) worldwide. This historic initiative, called The Eliminate Project, aims to put an end to this cruel, centuries-old disease. It will also help pave the way for the delivery of other lifesaving services, such as clean water, nutrition and other vaccines. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF and Kiwanis International have been working to raise $110 million to provide more than 100 million women with lifesaving vaccines to protect them and their future newborns. For more information, please visit TheEliminateProject.org.
