ASHLEY'S LETTER What’s Splashing Goldfishes!

Put your fins together because it is time to celebrate Summer! I hope we can all take a deep breath now that finals and AP exams are over. Key Club festivities and events will continue into the following months, so stay excited!

This upcoming weekend, we will have had our Officer Training Conference as well as our June DCM! I hope that both were educational and entertaining for you all. Our Region 3 Lieutenant Governor worked very hard to make you all as prepared as possible for this upcoming term.

That said, please continue to keep up all of your good work!

While school has ended, Key Club Summer has just begun!

ZOE'S LETTER What’s Popping Goldfishies!

I hope all your summers have been going well as school is finally over and AP exams are done! My sleep schedule has already been all sorts of weird, but I hope you guys are doing well. This newsletter was very fun to write and make. I am super excited for Key Club summer to start as more people are starting to settle into the new term. As COVID rules are starting to become less strict, I am looking forward to holding more service and fundraising events during the summer! Keep up the good work goldfish!

MAY DCM Kate Pulsifer I Villa Park

Villa Park Key Club as well as the other Key Clubs in the district came together to relax and bond in the stressful times of AP testing, studying for finals, and the all together end of the year blues. Lt. Governor Ashley Park explains to us the importance of keeping up our tasks before the end of the year, since many people including herself tend to lose their motivation at this point in the school year. Ashley as well as the other important people who essentially make the Key Club run, allowed us to come together to play games such as Minecraft, Go Fish! And Scribl.io.

Ashley led us into groups after picking what game we would prefer to play.

Personally, I picked the game Scribl.io because I was familiar with the rules which would allow me to have fun while playing it. It was very interesting to me to play since I was playing with people from other schools who I have never met before, which is exactly what Key Club is about!

MAY DCM Olivia Jin I Beckman High School

This month’s DCM was a success! As the second DCM with our new lieutenant governor, Ashley, members were more familiar with one another and able to bond further in the games that were presented in the DCM. Prior to the games, our division went over the past month’s accomplishments and activities for each school. For Beckman, we did not have any new activities other than the ongoing service events such as FreeRice and more due to the school year ending and wrapping up the club’s activities. After a variety of games were provided such as Minecraft and Among Us, members were sent to breakout rooms to play these games and bond with one another. For me personally, I had a great time and was able to meet new members of the club that I previously had not known. I was able to interact and socialize with one another after not being able to due to the pandemic as well as the nostalgia that was provided by playing Among Us, a game I played frequently during quarantine. Overall, the DCM went extremely smoothly, and I look forward to the next one!

CLUB RECAPS Year end meeting Megan Yeung I Pacific Coast High School

With the end of the school year coming to a close, we had our last meeting on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. Because of the re-opening of the campus a month again we were excited to host a pizza party for our last meeting before summer break. We had a lot of fun relaxing together after a week of finals.

Attached on the side are a few slides from the year end meeting presentation. The first slide was the cover.

orange county food drive Megan Yeung I Pacific Coast High School

We decided for the month of May that we wanted to run a food drive partnering with Orange County Rescue Mission. Many of our students worked together to create boxes for food collection and then went door to door to ask for donations. We also kept several boxes at school for other students to bring donations to.

Attached on the side are the graphics used to promote the event as well as some of our members decorating the boxes used to collect the food.

Kiwanis Shred Event Nolan Thomas I Canyon High School

On Saturday, June 5, The Kiwanis Club of Anaheim Hills and Canyon Key Club held our first annual free shred event! This event took place from 9am to 12pm at El Rancho Charter School. Seven board members and one general member were able to attend the service event and overall had a successful first run. We had a total of 75+ cars show up to the shred event! During the event, the members from key club grabbed the files from the car that was parked and carried them into garbage cans, so it could be lifted into the shredder truck. This was our first time being able to meet the Kiwanis Club in person for the new term and it was very welcoming being able to meet and being able to have a conversation with them. Being able to help people with the other members was really enjoyable in how we were able to work together in carrying boxes and also helping out the people that wanted their files shredded. I would love to attend this event again in the future and hopefully with even more members and cars showing up!

This month was a huge success for both the Kiwanis Club and Canyon Key Club and I can’t wait to see what the next month has in store for us!

Firefighter donations Nolan Thomas I Canyon High School

On Saturday, May 22, Canyon Key Club held a firefighter donations event from 11am-12pm. Our general members could choose to donate from jolly rancher packs to small travel size sunscreens. Board members were able to pick up these items at Peralta Park and were eventually dropped off to the firefighters at the Weir Canyon Fire Station! Being able to donate items to our firefighters gave us the opportunity to show our appreciation and that even through these horrible moments, we are more than happy to provide for them. Through this event, we also bonded as general and board members in being able to be in person, even if it was for a short amount of time. Hosting another one of these service events would be highly suggested for Canyon Key Club and for the firefighters as well. This month was a great success for Canyon Key Club and cannot wait for what we have in store for this year’s summer key club service events!

Ocsa key club recap Antara Kalle I OCSA

This month, OCSA’s Key Club got the opportunity to volunteer in a variety of different service events. From storytelling to solving math problems, the club participated and worked hard to better our community and better the world. A very interesting and generally new event we provided to work for “Zooniverse.”

An organization that allows people to participate in furthering their knowledge on certain subjects! The club also continued with other projects such as the “Paper crane” project, “Free Rice”, and “UNICEF Math for Good.” We find it’s important to provide our members with an array of activities in order to provide variety for them, as well as allow them to choose which project fits with their busy schedules.
