My KIWIN’S

In my freshman year when I joined KIWIN’S, if you President of my club, I would have never believed did so because all of my friends were signing up. the club, it couldn’t be that bad right? Plus they how could I resist! At first, I was one of those peopl but never actually attended an event. One day, up, so two of my friends and I signed up to volunte out of my comfort zone in high school, but when w from Edison KIWIN’S had shown up :,). Slightly anno a bit but eventually made our way to go find brea

edison presibae <3

After that semi-terrible first event experience, I th KIWIN’S event again. That was, until, the yearly ic time, a big group of my friends all decided to go a

I remember having a lot of fun at that event because I also got to meet a few of the u I even tied some ice skates for them so no one broke their ankles that day, (come find your skates for you LOL)!

Later, when board elections began, I was convinced by Hannah, an officer I was frien was the Bulletin Editor at the time and had a lot of faith in my abilities (love u hannah) I had a lot of fun from that point on in KIWIN’S! I became very active and dedica creativity for good. I even won a few design contests like the Jet T-shirt contest and t went on to become Vice President alongside Hannah as President last year, and no Edison KIWIN’S!

It’s kind of crazy how things work out like that, but I’m so glad I joined this club and dec I broke out of my shell because of this club and I don’t know what my high school year met a lot of cool people and made some lifelong friends through KIWIN’S, so I can’t term as enjoyable as I can! As I’m now on my way to graduating this year, to anybo risks in high school! Be social (I believe in you)! Try new things! I promise it will be reward Yours in Service,

Hailey Warner Edison KIWIN’S President ‘20-’21

Presidents’ Corner Edison KIWIN’S In the past month, Edison KIWIN'S participated in the Jet Division Freerice Project for Yemen (ty to everyone who helped out!!), and we also participated in the Jet Division E-Cards for St. Jude Project! We had many board meetings and a board social both over zoom. A summer virtual meeting IGTV video was also released on our Instagram. Be sure to check that out to get meeting service hours for the summer! We are even working on a new merch fundraiser coming soon so be sure to check that out when it is released! :0 Written by Hailey Warner

Fountain Valley KIWIN’S Hey manatees! In the month of July, Fountain Valley KIWIN’S wrapped up service hours for Jet Division’s freerice event in order to raise money for the Yemen crisis. In addition, our club participated in the Jet ECards for St. Jude Hospital to raise the morale for patients. FV KIWIN’S has also taken a stand for the BLM movement through the ongoing sticker fundraiser in which proceeds go directly to NAACP (head over to bit.ly/fvkiwinsblmsticker to presale!). Regardless of school not being in session and everyone remaining in quarantine, our members have still worked hard to keep the club running. Before the new school year begins, FV would also like to release a meeting that recaps the work we’ve accomplished these past couple months in quarantine before we recruit our incoming freshmen for the new term.

Garden Grove KIWIN’S Garden Grove KIWIN’S has been busy with organizing a joint stickers fundraiser with La Quinta and preparing for the release of our QuaranZine (quarantine newsletter)! We also participated in the Jet FreeRice event, where we ended up donating over 3 million grains of rice, and the St. Jude event, where we wrote encourage messages to patients at the St. Jude Hospital. Please support us in our stickers fundraiser!

Written by Linh Phung

La Quinta KIWIN’S Hello everyone! <3 In the month of July, LQ KIWIN’S has mainly been participating in joint-club fundraisers and service events. From June 25th to July 2nd, we raised $117 for Unicef in support of the yemen crisis through a social media fundraiser with GG KIWIN’S and Los Amigos KIWIN’S! We also collaborated with all the other Jet Divisional clubs for the “Freerice” and “E-Cards with St. Jude Hospital” service events! On Instagram, we posted Senior Spotlights in which we honored each of the newly-graduated seniors of co2020 who served on last term’s board. Overall in July, we served 139 hours and raised $275 towards UNICEF! We have many more service events and fundraisers planned for the future as well, so watch out for those! :-) Written by Diane Dinh

Los Amigos KIWIN’S this past month we participated in the division’s e-cards for saint jude hospital and continued our BLM sticker sales to make a total of $71, all of which was donated to NAACP towards helping the movement. our tech chair has been working on revamping our social media outlets for the new school year. our corresponding secretary is hard at work making newsletters and we created a linktree in efforts to keep our members virtually updated. you can stay updated with us at linktr.ee/lahskiwins !

Written by Vivi Hoang

Marina KIWIN’S The past month we participated in the Free Rice Project and St. Jude E-Cards with Jet and got a total of 85 hours from those events.

Additionally, we just finished an event where we drew positive messages or spread awareness with chalk! Our club also recently got recognized at ICON with Distinguished Club, Early Bird, and Late Owl :)) Currently we’re still having our Donate a Photo event, where each photo uploaded a day donates $1 to charities in the app. Our banquet was on the 31st, where we recognized members for their service past term and officially retired and installed board. In August, we’re holding an event where members give notes and gifts to service workers such as mail carriers and waste collectors to brighten their day! On August 1st, we’re releasing our first newsletter of the term, where members can meet their board and see who’s on the hours leaderboard. We are also currently planning a shoe drive with Marina Key Club!

OCSA KIWINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S This past month, OCSA KIWIN'S participated in the Jet Division's Freerice Project in order to support the Yemen crisis and the St. Jude's e-card event to bring joy to the children at St. Jude's Hospital. We also continued encouraging socializing during quarantine by holding a call a friend event. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on directing our attention to gathering more members by making use of social media and using our online resources as best as we can.

Written by Kaitlyn Vu

Segerstrom KIWINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

Since the last newsletter, Segerstrom KIWIN'S held a Father's Day event where members shared pictures with their fathers/father figures and wrote little notes about them onto their stories. We also participated in the Jet Division Freerice Project for Yemen where we earned rice grains through the Freerice app to help in the fight against hunger and the E-Cards for Saint Jude Hospital where we made e-cards for patients at St. Jude. We also had a Charity Miles event where members are able to earn hours through tracking their miles through the Charity Miles app that also exchanges the miles you do into a donation towards a charity of your choice from their wide selection.

Even though it is still difficult due to our current situation, we are persevering and our members are still doing their best to participate and do their part in helping the community!

What is it?

Every year, your Lieutenant Governor hosts a divisional conference for officers to learn about their position’s responsibilities, absorb information regarding KIWIN’S, and strengthen their skills in order to maximize success for the upcoming term.

While members usually attend OTC in person, all conferences will most likely be held virtually due to the current circumstances.

Why should I go?

The KIWIN’S equivalent to a Ted Talk, you get the opportunity to familiarize yourself with tools that may be beneficial not just for your term, but also for your entire life. The educational presentations along with a spice of fun breed a memorable experience for those who attend.

Since conferences are virtual now, you won’t have to get out of the house, drive a long distance, or even change your pants! Being attending is so convenient this year, it would be a shame to miss out on this opportunity.

In addition, you do not have to be an officer to attend. Any member who loves their club, feels passionate about KIWIN’S, or simply wants to have a good time can join. *Taken from CNH KIWIN’S Summer Newsletter*
