LETTER FROM LTG

HO HO HO AXOS!

AXOS! I hope all of you guys are having a great end to your Fall 2024 semester. I HOPE YOU ALL ENDED WITH SOME BOMB GRADES! And even if you didn’t, don’t be down on yourself! As long as you tried your hardest, be proud of that. I want to thank you all for all your hard work throughout 2024, and for making this year my favorite out of all of my 16. Seeing your passion for Key Club has inspired me throughout this term to grow and become a better leader for D16W. You guys truly mean so much to me and I love you all so much!

El Camino’s Fall Donation Drive El Camino’s Fall Donation Drive

From the week of November 15 to 22, we hosted a donation drive at our school with 4 other clubs from El Camino, where we were able to collect a multitude of donations to create care packages for the homeless Being able to coordinate with so many different clubs and meet new people was a very impactful experience as I was able to help out and manage the drive. As we were able to collect many boxes of donations, we also had an event where we created the packages themselves using the donations we recieved. I felt very happy to help spread love especially during the times of thanksgiving, and I felt like I was being helpful for those in need It was fun to bond with members from other clubs and learn about their missions as well as being able to collaborate and get work done

SOCES’s Fall Rally

SOCES’s Fall Rally

One would think that, since I’m president of my Key Club, I’d have lots of experience with Fall Rally Nope This year’s Fall Rally was my first time, and it was an amazing experience I’ve never been to Six Flags so early in the morning, at 8 am, so that was a first Our division’s rally was the first one of the day, which I’m happy about because we were able to get all our energy out and then not worry about it for the rest of the day. We didn’t end up winning, or even getting in the 2nd round, but we definitely had spirit so I’m really proud of everyone After our rally, we took our group pictures and split up into a few groups My friends and I first went to Full Throttle I stayed until closing, and by then I still didn’t want to go home but I knew that the day’s memories would stay in my mind for years to come. Can’t wait for next year!

Fall Rally South was an event attended by a variety of Key Clubbers all over Southern California. The event date was November 9, 2024 The main activity was going to Six Flags, doing spirit cheers, and overall helping raise funds for PTP The event was really fun and for the most while, most of the division was together so the whole division really bonded that day It was nice to see everyone in the division so happy and it was really a cool experience overall.
