Hey Grizzlies!

Every month/week/day, we find ourselves facing new hardships and difficulties in life. This month, I’d like to leave you with this message: always persevere. If you end up giving up, so be it - as long as you gave your all at some point and had a clear focus on succeeding, you did your best and the outcome is for the best. Everything that’s meant to happen will happen, but you have to put in the effort on your part. Keep this in mind during and after finals season, and good luck, Grizzlies!

Grizzly hugs and lots of love,

Sarah Ahmed

D27N Lt. Governer (Mama Bear)

Hello D-27, D-27 North!

My name is Daniela Medina and it’s an honor to have been chosen as

one of your Fall Rally North Spirit Task Coordinators! I am incredibly excited for

the upcoming year as I work alongside the rest of the Division Leadership Team.

Hopefully my partner and I will lead this division to bring home the spirit stick at Fall

Rally North. Until that time, I hope to see you all at service and spirit events! Without this division’s dedication and passion for service, my job would lack the significance it holds in my heart. We have our spirit events as celebrations of service already completed, celebrations of a family brought together by a common goal, and as a means to further current efforts to improve the lives of others.

Fall Rally North is a testament to this and I hope to do this event and you, the division I serve, the justice it deserves. On a lighter note, stay on the lookout for new and improved spirit gear in the months leading up to Fall Rally North! I wish you all the best rest and relaxation during your summer! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Daniela Medina Spirit Task Coordinator

Hey Hey Hey!

My name is Chanel Thach, and I will be serving as one of your Fall Rally North Spirit Task Coordinator for the 2016-17 term! I’m SO SO SO excited to be a big part of your guys’ Key Club experience because I’m ready to bring home that Spirit Stick for our division. I think being on the DLT will really help me in the long run, and from meeting everyone that is on the team right now, I already know that it’s going to be a good year. Mark my words, Grizzlies, but this is OUR year. It’s going to be a GOOD ONE.

dLT INTRODUCTIONS Hey Guys!

I’m Marciano Lua, the new Technology Task Coordinator!!!!! I can’t begin to express how thrilled I am to be working with the new Division Leadership Team of the 2016/2017 Key Club Term. Part of my job is to run the division website and one of my goals for this term is to get members to regularly check up on this. I will try my hardest to keep it updated and easy to use. While doing this, I’ll try my best to keep members updated on division information by also regularly sending out

Remind 101 texts. I can’t wait to go on this journey with Division

27 North’s AWESOME MEMBER’S!!!!

Marciano Lua Technology Task Coordinator

Hello! It Me!

My name is Kyra Chhiu-Lim and I will be serving as Division 27 North’s Service Projects Task Coordinator for the 2016-2017 term. Throughout my Key Club experience, I have gained inspiration, support, and strength from not only friends and family, but from people I’ve met through this club. Every experience I’ve had from meetings and socials to service events has helped me grow and learn. It is an honor to have the opportunity be able to serve the Division once again - from a different position and perspective!

I have had the opportunity to serve Key Club on a club level and Division level - and a new year brings new experiences and new challenges. I am glad to again serve and be a trustworthy aid to the Division and Lieutenant Governor. In this term, I hope to further my growth as a Key Clubber and a person and to continue to meet new people and create long lasting memories. I am thrilled to see what new obstacles awaits for the Division! :-)

Hey Grizzlies!

I’m Dalton Dequit and I’ll be serving as one of the Division Media Task Coordia tors. Honestly becoming a part of the Division Leadership Team has been my dream since freshman year, ever since I joined Key Club. I saw how the team has had such an integral role in how the division works and I wish to be a contributing part of that legacy in this term. As a Media Task Coordinator I hope to get word out about Key Club events through various outlets of social media so no Grizzly would feel that they aren’t in the know. I also hope to make this term as lit as possible and to make your Key Club experience the best!

I’m Kim Hoang and I am very honored to be part of D27N’s 2016-2017 Division Leadership Team, even more so as the Member Recognition Task Coordinator. I’ve been dedicated to Key Club prior to high schooll, thanks to my cousin who introduced me to such a loving, community-based club. Starting as the average member, to being freshman rep, to being secretary on the board, to being on DLT. Getting this far brings me great fullfilment. I’m more than ecstatic to what the future has to hold for DLT and D27N, itself. I’m happy to say that I’m blessed with an amazing leadership

team and a wondourous dicvision.

APRIL DCM / Division 27 And That's A Wrap Abby Lok | Tokay April 29, 2016

As a senior, my final key club banquet was a great experience as I was able to reflect on all of the achievements and accomplishments key club has had for the past year. I realized through the speeches of the immediate past LTGs and LTG elects that key club has played such a massive parts of their lives. Their speeches were nothing short of touching.

Though the banquet ran out of food, most of the people had a good time catching up with friends that they only see through Key Club, especially the graduating seniors. It was great seeing everyone excited and proud of all the awards won by different clubs. The banquet was a very great way to end my four years of Key Club!

PAST EVENTS Pixie Woods Clean Up Rosanna Oung | SECA April 16, 2016

On April 16th, 2016, SECA helped volunteer at Pixie Woods near Louis Park from 8 AM to ­11 AM. This service event mainly had volunteers from Division 27 South, as well as some Division 27 North members. We were first sent to the back of the park to gather around to get water and donuts before dividing up different tasks.

The coordinator had a stack of different assignments with a list of items to get, what to do in that specific area, and how many people were needed for the certain assignment. I was assigned to a carousal clean up, and I had to gather a group of people who were from Stockton Collegiate to help me. We gathered up items such as brooms, wash cloths, buckets of water and soap, and went to the area that we were assigned.

We started by sweeping all of the debris and spiderwebs, then moved to washing the carousal until it was debris and spider free. Since our group finished early, we were able to help another group plant flowers in a garden across the carousal. It was a bit chilly at first, but as the day continued, it eventually got warmer. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience volunteering at Pixie Woods, and I would definitely come back next year.

GRILLS & THRILLS Justin Tyler Flores | MCHS May 21, 2016

On May 21, 2016, we had our May DCM which was loads of fun! We started off with an intersting ice breaker called "Baby, I Love You!" and then began our division service event. It involved members decorating the bottom of children's socks with Puff Paint, which would act like the sticky bottoms of nonslip socks. They were intended for the young patients at The Children's Hospital, to decrease the chance of a terrible accident occuring from a simple slip. It's cool to do something fun, while also helping out a cause that could potentially save a child's life! So overall, the May DCM was a fun, social outlet and creative service event for everyone who attended! Can't wait for the next DCM in June, which is an Officer Training Convention with both Division 27 North and South!
