CNH|KEY CLUB

What's Poppin’ D13S! Welcome back to the Ninja News!

Congrats to all clubs and officers that have applied to any district contest! Good luck to all of you! Results will be announced at District Convention 2021!

Of course, a HUGE congrats to our Division 13 North and South Lieutenant Governor Elects, Julia Saguin and Maryland Heng respectively! After working alongside them for so long, I can confidently say that they are both so qualified and that both divisions are in such great hands! :,) It is currently elections season which means clubs will be holding elections to elect your next officers for the 2021-2020 term! From experience, I highly recommend you run for a position, as you may never know what you will gain from it. Personally, after serving in various positions, I have learned so much varying from leadership skills to graphic design skills! After all, there is nothing to lose by running for an officer position!

Make sure to contact your club for more information regarding club elections, good luck to all running, and congrats to everyone that has won!

Finally, thank you so much for reading this month’s issue of the Ninja News! I hope you enjoy!

Kickin’ for Service,

HIYA Ninjas!

WOO I HAVE A CHILD! I’m so pleased to announce that the next Division 13 South Lieutenant Governor for the 2021-2022 term will be Maryland Heng. Although this division will be a bit smaller this time around I have no doubt that she will lead this division to new and bigger heights this upcoming term. I am so thankful for what this division has done this term especially with having a pandemic in our hands, but we made it! Although this means our term is coming to a close I will forever be so grateful for what this organization and division has provided for me, a second family that I have held so close to my heart for the past four years. I’ll save the rest for banquet, but on the note...Maryland you got a lot on your hands good luck!

Huge congrats to those that entered a district or international contest! I wish you all the best of luck and I hope with all of the achievements you have made this term it will truly be recognized on the district level and be showcased at DCON 2021! Thank you everyone for working so hard and serving so much this term without the help of our members and officers here with us we wouldn’t have served over 7,400 hours and raised over $2,000 for PTP. Although our term is ending in the next two months please continue to serve and fundraise as we don't stop here!

Kickin’ for Service,

Division 13 South Lieutenant Governor ‘20-’21

WHAT’S SLICIN’ NINJAS! My name is Maryland Heng and I’m more than exhilarated to announce that I’ll BEE serving as your next lieutenant governor for the ‘21-22 term! It’s been 3 years since I’ve grown up in this very club and blossomed into the true leader I am today :) very cheesy to say but it’s true! I’ve grown READY to serve this outstandingly phenomenal division and in no doubt I will ever forget serving this amazing DIV from the start of my freshmen year. I’ve grown from being such a shy intimidated freshmen to now proudly serving our division of such exceptionally passionate members. From the many positions I’ve once served, I can’t wait to implement many new ideas to further establish this community in order to make your experience a unforgettable one! Key club has gave me everything I never knew I was able to receive from the greatest of friends I could ever meet, amazing ways to develop into a better leader, and serving our community to create a change in our future. As a person who doesn’t have any siblings, I view all of you guys as my own family and our organization as my home. I promise to give you my 200% into the ‘21-22 term NINJAS! It’s been a wild ride guys but I know we can SLICE through the term and it’ll be remarkable once again.

Kickin’ for Service,

Division 13 South Lieutenant Governor Elect ‘21-’22

WHAT’S SWINGING MONKEYS! My name is Julia Saguin and I am so excited to elected as Division 13 North’s next lieutenant governor!

Although our division is realigning and there is so much to look forward to in the future, YOU, the ninjas, are what made me fall in LOVE with serving on the division level! There is such an amazing and comfortable environment of building a connection and serving together as a division that I have experienced in my past three years of key club. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to meet and bond with different members and officers, it is the love that has come from our amazing and spirited division that has kept me motivated for so long! From my time as multiple different positions in Key Club, I know I will take all my experience with me to make the next term as best as it can be. I have learned so much from our division, the passion and positivity has always kept our spirit SO STRONG! The memories I have made with all of you means SO much to me and I will always reflect and think back to them as we move into the new term. With that, I hope you look forward to what I have in store for Division 13 North (expect LOTS of joint events :D) and SWING into service with me!

Swinging for Service,

Division 13 North Lieutenant Governor Elect ‘21-’22

Coral Pongsuwan Historian | Bellflower In the month of January, Bellflower Key Club presented National Thesaurus day, where members were able to learn new words using Freerice. Each time you learn a new word, 5 grains of rice gets donated to different people and communities in need. Not only do you get to enhance your knowledge, you’re also helping out someone else. We hope all of our members enjoyed this service project!

Coral Pongsuwan Historian | Bellflower Human trafficking is an important topic to speak about because countless people are affected by it. To spread awareness, Bellflower Key Club members were able to create graphics speaking about who Human Trafficking affects and why it should have more awareness. We hope our members learned something new during the service project.

Gustavo Sanchez Member | Gahr The Flying Facts service project is where Key Club members can make graphics, posters, cards about informational facts that can help students in a local school in the Philippines. The Flying Facts service project started on January 15th and ended January 31st. Many of the members wrote informational facts about space, food, and earth facts! Everyone was so creative, some drew by hand or used digital art. This project was a great way to share love and knowledge!

11

Emily Uy Historian | Wilson On January 13 Wilson Key Club had an event for Sticker day. This event members are able to create their own stickers as long as the sticker is safekey. The stickers can be made on a piece of paper or digitally. The event was a great way for the members to show their creative side and have the opportunity to throw in ideas of merchandise if they are planning to own their own business in the future.

Emily Uy Historian | Wilson In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day Wilson Key Club creates a service event to inform people the significance of the day. For the service event members create a poster that is filled with information about Martin Luther King Jr., this information can be present in many ways. Some members wrote down, drew the information, and others did a mix of both to illustrate the significance of January 18.

Michelle Lork Historian | Mayfair New year, new ninjas! For the January DCM, we quickly brushed up on the amazing accomplishments from 2020. Followed up with that, we have set new goals for the following new term, to find out that there is a NEW LTG coming into town. Besides our accomplishments and our goals, many ninjas are still striving towards service to start the year off strong!

Michelle Lork Historian | Mayfair Ninjas, Monkeys, and Hedgehogs assemble! For the 2021 D13 Conclave, many key clubbers gathered together to see the LTG elects from each division. We were able to hear from each elect, and motivate yet encourage each of them to do their best. We were also able to bond amongst other divisions as well!
