LTG’S NOTE WE GOT THAT SPIRIT STICK AYE WE GOT THAT SPIRIT STICK :3 I appreciate all the love and support from our manatees this month. We accumulated so many hours together and I was so happy to see all of you during our November DCM. It was especially nice to hear all of our members cheering loudly and diligently learning each cheer. Our hard work did not go to waste because our Virtual Fall Rally South was successful once since we got the spirit stick again!! We couldn’t have done it without any of you guys :) Anyways thank you for being a loving, respectful, and reliable division that I can rely on and I look forward to the next 4 months.

Stay tune for COOL events next month :) Trina Dang, Jet Division KIWIN’S Lieutenant Governor 2021-2022

TINA L

CO-SPI

how did you hear about kiwins/what made you want to join? i actually heard about it when LQ KIWIN’S came to McGarvin’s cam club at an early stage. i eventually wanted to join because of my f

what is your favorite memory about kiwins? okay super recent memory tho but i loved the jet banquet talent sh with some t swift but we won second place so that was really fun!!

how has kiwins helped you grow? i know that everyone keeps on talking about how KIWIN’S helps th and public speaking skills. like im just so comfortable around other organization, time management, etc

what advice would you offer to someone who want to join or run fo if you’re still on the fence about joining KIWIN’S (i mean the obviou out on. trying out the vibes and chemistry of your club is 100% uniqu and you could also drop out if you don’t like the club. same thing a to socialize with as many members (and especially board member already knows a familiar face. but also make sure you’re able to ha mind.

JOURNEY

IRIT CAPTAIN

mpus and did an 8th grade takeover to introduce us to all about the friends and how they provided service opportunities for us monthly.

how. my group and i went up super unprepared and hit the audience

hem break out of their shells but i gained so much more confidence r people now and i learned so many valuable skills: event planning,

or positions in kiwins? * us answer is to join but...), you never know what you could be missing ue to your school’s, so i’d say stick around for the first one or two weeks applies for running positions, put yourself out there and make an effort rs) so that when it comes to the selection process, your current board andle your position with the conflicts of school, work, and social life in
