The time to choose our next Lieutenant Governor is coming up soon! At Region 8 Conclave, the candidates will give speeches and delegates from each club will vote for the next LTG!

HIYA Ninjas!

ITS ELECTION SEASON!! As we are in our last quarter of the term, it’s time to elect new club officer boards for the 2021-2022 term. For those running for office, I hope the Election Webinar led by CNH PIE Chair Ilene was very helpful in not only preparing you to run, but also learn more about each officer position. To learn more about the position you are running for please be sure to ask your current club officer or go to cnh cyberkey for more information. This season also means Division 13 South will be having a new Lieutenant Governor for the 2021-2022 term and I will be retiring. Conclave is coming up very soon so if you are thinking about running for Lieutenant Governor please feel free to contact me ASAP and we’ll be hosting a LTG Q&A Insta live very soon.

With finals coming up very soon please be sure to look after yourself by getting enough sleep, water, and food in your system during this time. Continue to prepare and study for your exams. Also during this season for our seniors, acceptance letters are coming out very soon. Whatever the outcome will be, just remember that you did the best you could and know that there will be a better plan for you in the future. I wish the best for our seniors and YOU GOT THIS!!

Kickin’ for Service,

Division 13 South Lieutenant Governor ‘20-’21

Coral Pongsuwan Historian | Bellflower To acknowledge the diligence and hard work of our veterans, Bellflower Key Club created a service event in recognition of National Veterans Day. We allowed our members to send letters or videos to family or friends who are veterans to thank them for the service they've provided throughout their time. The holidays are a time for thankfulness and gratefulness, so we hope our members put a smile on someone else's face.

Ayen Mariz Pascua Treasurer | Gahr The shut-in food packaging & delivery event was held on multiple sundays within the past month. We created packages with food items such as turkey, rice and desserts for people in need especially during the holiday season! It was an amazing opportunity to give back to our community during times like this. Getting back into Key Club despite the circumstances we are in was great since it was one of the first ever in real life service events!

Michelle Lork Historian | Mayfair Mayfair Key Club has hosted their spectacular Community Service Library Event which was to honor November's Spotlight on Service of "Kiwanis Family" In this event, members safely took pieces of a bookshelf and decorated them at home. Then, they dropped it off for it to be reassembled and given to the Bellflowers Kiwanis Hall. From Among Us designs to flowery paintings, it truly brought Mayfair together as a whole to serve our community.

Ronald Ourng Historian | Sato For November's division council meeting, members, officers, and the DLT gathered for not only the normal meeting routine, but we had special guests from CSULB's Circle K in a presentation about global warming. The presentation consisted on what global warming is and how to help fight against it. After the amazing presentation everyone was put into breakout rooms for a game of Jeopardy. The Jeopardy was key club themed, and consisted of key club facts, terms, and many more. Members were able to bond and have fun, especially when woodhouse came up! Can't wait to see what the DLT has in store for next month!
