My KIWIN’S Story : Kaitlyn Vu

When I first heard of KIWIN’S, it was through one of my older sisters, who had been in KIWIN’S for a couple of years and had become a board member for the KIWIN’S at her high school. I had never heard of the club before, as I was still in middle school, b sister asking our mom to drop her off at multiple KIWIN’S events. I always wo somewhere almost every weekend. I always heard my sister talking about e my sister was a part of.

At that age, I wasn’t really interested in interacting with as many people as m my sister encouraged me to join KIWIN’S, and her excitement proved to be co

Throughout my time in KIWIN’S, I was always extremely quiet, as I wasn’t the with. My school’s KIWIN’S was very small, and soon enough, I found myself int was very kind and welcoming, and it was easier to talk to her than I expected me to apply for the position of president. It was a complete surprise to me knowing I had the support of the friends I made in KIWIN’S made me want making KIWIN’S be a club that welcomes everyone, and makes them feel as i Yours in service,

Kaitlyn Vu 2020-2021 Segerstrom KIWIN’S President

ACCEPTED. THANK YOU.

but I became exposed to the club more and more as I frequently heard my ondered what kind of club KIWIN’S must be to require my sister to be driven events and meeting with friends, finding myself intrigued with this community

my sister seemed to be, but once my high school’s club rush came around, ontagious. In my first year of high school, I joined KIWIN’S.

e most social person, only taking time to talk with the friend I joined the club teracting more and more with the other members of the club. The president d it would be. Soon enough, the president approached me and encouraged e, and I thought I'd be incapable of being good at such a role. However, t to make the people around me proud. Now I can only hope to continue if they’re part of an ohana.

GARDEN GROVE

Over the month of October, Garden Grove KIWIN’S has been busy with our joint event with Alpha Leo and CSF. We collaborated with those clubs in order to send out letters/messages to seniors at Westmont Village in Riverside.

During these isolated times, we recognize the importance of keeping in touch with one another, so we wanted to check in and connect with those senior residents. Garden Grove KIWIN’S also partnered with Segerstrom KIWIN’S in order to host a joint movie night, where members posted fun facts about PTP as a “ticket” to join the Zoom call.

Lastly, we are currently focused on getting dues in on time before the Early Bird deadline.
