SUMMER OLYMPICS The Summer Olympics DCM was held in Cortez Park, on July 14th. Here, many members came together to participate in a variety of games and activities to beat the heat, in addition to witnessing many moments where Division Officers were dunked! It personally allowed me to get to know other officers from schools in the district and become more comfortable with the Key Club community. Having shared a similar experience, South Hills’s event coordinator Mandy Guan says, “Though I have been to a DCM before, I actually did not know what to expect for my first Summer Olympics DCM, and especially as an officer this upcoming year!

Since I did not go to that many DCMs in the past, I did not know everyone in the division that well, so I met many new people in some of the activities we did, such as tug-or-war and water balloon toss.”. As a newly declared officer, Guan felt more responsibility to attend and represent her school in the Summer Olympics, but she is glad that she was able to step out of her comfort zone given the fun and welcoming environment.

This event was a place that allowed for socialization and nostalgia within the games presented, an overall positive experience for Division 35 Key Club members looking to have fun in the sun.

BOOKMARK MAKING EVENT O

On July 29th, 2024, Workman Key Club held a bookmark making event at Cortez Park. On July 29th, 2024, Workman Key Club

held a bookmark making event at Cortez Park. During this event, Ellies used art supplies such as watercolor paints and colored pencils on cardstock paper to design their own bookmarks. Ellies were very creative and were able to create various designs that looked great. All the bookmarks that were made will be donated to a local youth center. Overall, this event was very fun and successful because Ellies got to socialize with each other and be creative while positively impacting our community with bookmarks that’ll bring smiles to kids’ faces.

In the words of our editor, Jimmy Nguyen, “This event was way more fun than we expected. While I don’t have the best artistic skills, I was still able to make designs I was proud to donate. I really hope the kids like all of the designs we made because we worked really hard.”

BONITA KEY CLUB

Bonita Keyclub board alongside members of the club took a creative approach by producing a captivating parody of the song Hot To Go by Chappel Roan.

CHRISTINE NGUYEN,

MUSIC VIDEO

The video was crafted for Bonita’s club rush at the beginning the school year which included catchy tunes and a showcase as to what makes Ky Club special. The behind the scenes was that the project was a fun and hilarious endeavor.

The board decided to form little skits to place in the video in order to bring in the sense of humor and fun that the board has in store for Keyclub. While on the other hand we tried to make the best lyrics as possible to incorporate with both the beat and rhythm of the song, in hopes that the lyrics can grab attention as to who we truly are as a club.

Vice President Angel Lopez’s is showing hisimpressive footwork while President Emma Canales, Treasurer Lucy Wang along with Secretary Becca Killackey, are seen

dancing with members and aesthetically running add an extra layer of excitement to the video. This music video was ultimately made to help grab in new members towards key club and to join DIvision 35 East. The primary goal of this music video was to attract new members into Division 35 East aimed to convey the clubs passion and dedication to service and leadership.

STUFF-A-BUS Last month, on July 20th, our division organized a "Stuff a Bus'' service event at various Walmart locations. The purpose of this event was to provide school supplies to children in need. In the event we created posters and asked shoppers to donate school supplies. Many people generously contributed. This event was simple yet highly effective. For example, with just an extra dollar, people could buy two notebooks,

meaning two children who previously had none now have what they need.

Martmariam Mikhail, the Vice President of Ipoly Key Club, said, “We received far more supplies that we ended up filling three shopping carts to the brim.

They were going to overflow if we didn’t start stuffing the bus. I really enjoyed actually stuffing the bus with my friends and taking cool photos on the bus." Overall, the event was a great success and demonstrated the power of community support.

Walnut Key Club

On Friday, July 19th Walnut Key Club collaborated with STEMsters at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hacienda Heights. Key Clubbers introduced the concept of elasticity to the children using everyday examples, such as rubber bands and springs. They then provided the children with materials to construct their own miniature trampolines. Each child received a set of popsicle sticks, hot glue, a piece of cloth, and a marble.

Ellies assisted the children in this hands-on activity which provided a practical demonstration of elasticity, revealing how the tension in the cloth surface affected the marble's bounce. The children not only learned about elasticity but also enjoyed the process of building and testing their miniature trampolines.

Cabinet leader, Lawrence Ju states,

“This event was great because not only did it let me teach the children about science, but it also taught me a lot as well.” Through activities like this, Key Clubbers can inspire a lifelong interest in science and engineering in the next generation.

CRANES FOR CANCER RESEARCH He always broke the silence by cracking a few jokes and making small talk with other members. He suggested that our club should aim to create 1,000 paper cranes, symbolizing hope and healing. Despite the challenge of achieving this goal with only six members, he motivated us by saying, “Okay everyone, I’m gonna need you to create at least 180 paper cranes each,”

o

n August 3rd, Rowland Key Club hosted their first service event of the year, called “Cranes for Cancer.”

.” Our members came together to create over 50 beautiful paper cranes to donate to an organization dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research. It was heartwarming to witness everyone working together and supporting one another when some faced challenges. During the event, Jacky was very social, friendly, and kind.

in a playful tone. To see how dedicated he was to making that goal possible brought a refreshingly new attitude to Rowland Key Club. Our president, Nicole Rinaldi, embraced this idea and proposed that we could host a paper cranemaking service event at every general meeting, allowing every member to contribute to achieving this goal in a faster and more engaging manner.

BEACH CLEANUP On August 3rd, 2024, members of D35E and other divisions in Region 13 gathered for the beach clean-up at Santa Monica Beach for a day of service and unity. Lasting from 9 AM to 3 PM, it marked the first joint event of the term, bringing lionfish together to engage in team-building activities and acts of service on the sunny seaside. It was a great scene as members formed friendships with others across the region. As the day progressed, divisions practiced the regional cheers, participating in a spirited competition with D35E making the top three!

Moreover, they had the opportunity to help the community by clearing an abundance of trash off the beach, leaving a cleaner shore for beachgoers to enjoy. Karren Zhuang, MECA’s Key Club Treasurer, expressed how “the beach clean up was an exciting event that brought the region together, also allowing us to meet new people and gain service hours by tidying up the shore!” Creating the first of many memories for the R13 this term, members effectively served their community while proudly flaunting their lionfish spirit!

LA PUENTE

CABINET MEETING On August 3rd, 2024, we hosted a cabinet meeting over Zoom to discuss the upcoming school year’s plans and goals. We began the meeting by having each cabinet member introducing themselves and having our club editor share her screen, displaying the meeting agenda. We discussed what upcoming service events we had planned so far and what more potential events we could coordinate.

We then moved onto fundraising ideas including selling boba, grams, and creating La Puente High School Key Club merchandise. As we went down the meeting agenda, each member got more comfortable and shared more ideas. Lastly, we went over what our goals were for the upcoming term. Key Club editor Emily Tang says she thinks the meeting was very productive and was glad we hosted the meeting.

The meeting was a great way to start off the term and have everyone get more comfortable with each other.

In this term, Im mostly looking forward to meeting new people in Key Club and spending quality time with the people I already know. Especially my senior friends, who will leave later on to achieve greater things.
