LTG’S NOTE

HAPPY LATE HOLIDAYS AND NEWS YEARS EVERYONE <33 i hope everyone is safe since the pandemic grows more alarming. Our manatees never fail to amaze me through the hard work, dedication, and passion for KIWIN’S and others. Every month our numbers continue to grow and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish by the end of my term (around a month to go!) it seems almost like yesterday that i was just elected but i continue to cherish every event and experience i get to meet our lovely members. I am so happy to see everyone come to the December DCM with D04N and D04W while also showing off your amazing ice skating skills :)) i hope to see you all soon, on zoom or in person!

We held a Rose Float Seminar where we advertised the event to people around the school and answered questions about details and admission, this was on the 18th of December. And on December 28th, we brought 24 members to the Rose Float Decorating Event with the rest of Jet Division and spent our time decorating floats, preparing flowers, and moving supplies. Overall we accumulated 281 hours in the last month!

’S CORNER We have not done anything this month, but we are hoping to start up our board applications and find more community service events.

los amigos Hi Manatees! During the month of December, Marina KIWIN’S served 350 hours through volunteering at several service events. We first volunteered in collaboration with HB Kiwanis at Shop4Hope, where we helped kids shop for holiday gifts, and at Bunny’s Kids, where we assembled care packages for the homeless. We also went Christmas caroling, raising $130 for UNICEF in the process. Finally, we participated in the annual district Rose Floats event and held KIWIN’S Appreciation Week where we made appreciation notes, cards, and posters for our members, teachers, and advisors :) marina this month, OCSA KIWIN’s held its last club and board meetings of the year. we held three events this month — two were online (cranes for cancer and beans for the hungry). we held a joint in-person event with our school’s national honor society to clearn up rosie’s dog beach. we also collected dues and will be sending them in soon. happy holidays and happy new year!
