message from lt. govenor What’s Roaring Grizzlies!

It’s Seabass back at you with another note! If you did not know already, Region Training Conference happened in the previous month. At RTC, we had a presentation about Key Club, games, and a friendly competition between all the Divisions. During this competition, Division 27 North, that’s right, won the Division Spirit Stick! Congratulations everyone for participating in the games and workshops! We all deserved it!

As you may all know, early-bird and on-time dues payments are just right around the corner. To make sure that we get early bird dues, I will be working closely with the presidents. By having Early-Bird dues, you can apply for club distinguished awards!

Finally, Please be sure and read this email! In this email, our wonderful DNE, Harleen Sandhu, has put together upcoming events, DCM, Honey Point Calculations, and much more! I hope you all are having a BEARY great day! I hope to see you all soon.

Spotlight on ServiceUNICEF For the month of October CNH'S focus for the Spotlight on Service Program is UNICEF. From fundraising to educating members, there are many ways your club can participate in this month's Spotlight on service program! Below are some ideas to get you started.

Trick-or-Treat

In 2010, Kiwanis partnered with UNICEF to help eliminate Maternal Neonatal Tetanus. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a huge fundraiser that happens every year. Instead of asking for candy, Key Clubbers go out and ask for donations during Halloween. Because of COVID-19, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF will be virtual. For updates please visit, https://www. unicefusa.org/trick-or-treat.

Goodie Bags

Collect donations from club members and make goodie bags filled with candies, coloring books, crayons, and much more. After that, donate these goodie bags to children at hospitals. In addition to that, get in contact with organizations to ask for donations. This will make your event more successful.

Why did you join Key Club?

The main reason I joined Key Club is due to the spirit as well as the service! Giving back to the community and helping others are one of the things I’m most passionate about. Key Club provides me with being able to do both! I first heard of this club mid 8th grade and every time it was talked about, I heard really great things. This is such a positive as well as a fun club to be in. Not to mention how cute the D27N apparel is!! I’ve heard from several members from this club that Key Club is like another family to them, and I just wanted to be apart of it :). I can go on and on of reasons I had joined Key Club, but all I know is that I don’t regret joining!

- Jeanette Burmedez

Initially, I joined Key Club during my sophomore year just to spend more time with my friends and discover new places. I thought the people in Key Club were super outgoing and friendly, so I wanted to be part of that kind of environment. Partaking in my first service events and DCMs taught me so much. Meeting new people who were so spirited and being able to contribute to a greater cause invigorated me. I grew my love for serving our community and it gave me joy seeing how much our help impacted it. Being a part of Key Club has taught me to be a better leader and encourage others to make a change in their community. I am very proud to be a part of Division 27 North and glad to have met the people that shaped who I am today.

I feel like at a young age, you say “I want a job thats helps people,” and normally that’s doctors, lawyers, etc. As a kid, the only way to help people is picking up trash, helping friends with homework, etc. It’s hard to figure out how to help people as a teenager, and Key Club does that for me/us. They find service events that allow us to partake in helping our community; and I mean community rather than just neighbors, friends, and teachers. We are helping more than just our circle. We are helping people that are dying, and as a kid I thought that was always an adult job rather than a teenager’s. Key Club has proven 7 year old Helena wrong. Thats why I joined Key Club.

Plus the spirit is also fun :). Key Club is a good combination for people who are energetic but are also passionate about helping people, but it really is for anyone.

Color Me a KoiBear

On August 22nd, Division 27 North hosted a DCM and service event via Zoom with Division 27 South in which we colored coloring pages.

Seven members from our club attended this event, five of which being board members, and one being our club advisor. The first part of this zoom was the DCM. During this DCM, the usual tasks took place such as taking attendance from each school, each school explaining what they have been accomplishing over this month, as well as member recognition. After this, the zoom was broken into breakout rooms in which members got to meet new people and reconnect with friends all while coloring for a cause. These coloring pages were mailed out in partnership with the Color A Smile Organization. “It was really fun being able to start the new school year off with a lighthearted service project”, says Vince Magsayo, “Coloring is such a simple task, yet it can completely change a child’s day and feeling when they recieve it.” This service event and DCM was a really great way to bring us all together and support one common cause.

Division 27 North Spirit Week was a creative way to incorporate service while showing your spirit. Pajama Day was the first day of Spirit Week. Grizzlies from all over the Division showed off their Pajama Day fits through social media. The dedicated service for Pajama Day was recording a video or audio of ourselves reading our favorite children’s book. Grizzlies took a trip down memory lane as they revisited their favorite stories, and shared their stories with younger children.

These recordings provide a bedtime story for children. On Pajama Day, Grizzlies truly showed their passion for participating in Division events, and their eagerness to take part in serving their community.

On Beach Day, Grizzlies posted their Beach Day fits to show off their style.

Grizzlies were loaded with sunglasses, leis, goggles, and Hawaiian shirts. Not only was this a day to have fun dressing up as a tacky tourist, but meaningful service was involved. Unfortunately, there are vast amounts of plastic in the ocean.

These plastics leave negative harm, for they often killmarine life as they consume it. Today’s Spirit Day highlighted using the search engine called Ocean Hero.

Every five internet searches, someone will pick up a plastic bottle from the ocean. This search engine reduces the amount of plastics, spreads awareness, and saves marine life.

Ribbons for Suicide Awareness Month September is Suicide Awareness Month, so some members of our club decided to do what we could do to spread awareness. A Zoom call was made where members could join and create ribbons for about half an hour. These ribbons were yellow and had several different sayings written on them. There were a couple of people that joined recently, so this was also a great chance for everyone to know each other a little more and become more familiar with Key Club. These ribbons are going to be hung around Lodi for about a month and then they will be taken down at the end of the month so that there is less litter going around.

paper cranes When I heard about making paper cranes for hospital patients, I was really excited to partake in this event.

The meaning behind a paper crane is good fortune, and I’m wishing that for the patients as I’m making the cranes. Part of the service project is to write a note alongside making a crane, but I wanted to put my own twist on it. Instead of just a note. I knew that hospital patients would be receiving these cranes, so I included a riddle to add a little joy to their day. I needed a way to hide the answer, so they could have time to figure it out on their own. I decided to turn it into a scratcher type of note. To create the scratcher effect, I mixed dish soap and acrylic paint to paint over the answer after it was covered by tape. After a few trial and error, I perfected the craft by first putting clear tape over the answer, then cleaned the edges with masking tape for when I painted it. Overall, the service project is time consuming, but it was still super fun to make.
