PRESIDENT’S NOTE: Key Clubbers, there are no words that can sufficiently express how proud I am of all of you as a whole. The Key Club year is only a bit more than half way through and we have already accomplished so much as a club! Not to mention how simply inspiring it is that so many of you have stepped it up this year! Whether it is
dedicating all your energy to earning your graduation stole, or underclassmen taking leadership roles within the club and being great contributors to events, and upperclassmen using your experience and talents to help uplift the club and its members! Every time I am around you all I am humbled and just blown away!
And seeing how spirited you all were at Fall Rally! Definitely one of best feelings as a President. Thanks to each and every one of you that has helped make this club what it is. Now, don’t let that spirit and enthusiasm die down! Our work as Key Clubbers doesn’t end! There are always people within our community that can use our volunteerism and spirit for
service! Continue to show your community just how great you are and never stop serving! Your President, Luis Tenorio.

Saturday, November 19th 2011. About 500 Giraffes. Eight Hours. One Rally.
From the very moment you all began lining outside the door, your spirit and enthusiasm could be felt. A midst the other Divisions we made sure to raise our necks up high. With every Division shirt, every Division hoodie, every pom-pom, with every time we screamed "D-15!" we made sure that we entered the Golden Bear Theater with a grand entrance! Not only that, we were able to rightfully claim our prized spot in the middle center, regardless of the other Divisions trying to crowd us out! We claimed our spot and immediately showed our spirit! A spirit that resonated throughout the entire rally!
Page 5
You could feel the spirit as the sound of each cheer clashed with the Divisions on either side of us. The spirit could be seen on each and every individuals face as they waved their pom-poms or raised their hand signal giraffe in the air while screaming as loud as they could. We are very proud of the impression you all left upon the Second Session. We did not win the coveted spirit stick, but this year we made sure that we qualified for the second round! We battled it out, giving it our all, and regardless of the outcome, we came out victors for having shown off just how spirited we are! Thank you to everyone that helped coordinate cheers, that assisted in Pre-Fall Rallies, that went through the stands getting other motivated, and thank you to everyone that went and contributed by representing D-15 proudly at the rally! Secondly, thank you to all the club officers that put in so much hard work into not only getting things ready for Fall Rally, but for getting everyone there and back safely! Your efforts are also a great contributor to our success! Lastly, thank you everyone for making Fall Rally '11 a memorable one and one were D-15 left its mark! By: Luis Tenorio
PTP Carwash, Toy Drive, and B&N Giftwrapping
Going on all through November to December 16th! With the economic difficulty being felt right now, more and more families are finding it difficult to provide their children with gifts for Christmas.

Key Clubbers please do all you can to help us spread the cheer this holiday season by donating unwrapped gifts! Drop them off in Misawa’s Rm 173!

Will YOU be the next Division 15 LTG?
Calling all Potential Lieutenant Governors! We just finished Fall Rally where many of you were able to see some of the other Lt. Governors who lead Divisions in Southern California and Nevada. At this time, a lot of people are wondering, SO‌ what does a Lt. Governor do? Sure, they hold DCMs and attend large events such as Fall Rally and District Convention. But is that it? NOT AT ALL! Contact Jocelyn if you are interested and she will make time to answer all your questions. Aside from hearing from personal experience through the current Lt. Governor, get a taste of what it’s like from other Lt. Governors at the Candidate Training Conference in Mid-January. Attending this conference is not required, but strongly suggested if you wish to run for the next Division15 Lt. Governor. Contact Jocelyn at: d15.cnhkc.ltg@gmail.com

The ELIMINATE Project “With The Eliminate Project, Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. To eliminate MNT from the Earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110 million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member of the Kiwanis family. Kiwanis and UNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, achieving one of the most significant public health successes of the 20th century. Now, they are eliminating MNT from the face of the Earth. And in doing so, the project will reach the poorest, most neglected mothers and babies with additional lifesaving health care. The end of this one disease means the beginning of better health for so many families.” Last month by participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF you have all helped make a difference and have helped save lives!
“We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill

One Project. One Box. One Goal. Hundreds of Lives Touched. After tireless counting and gathering we finally have the results of how much our club fundraised this year through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF! Before we list the results, thank you to everyone that participated! We saw you either asking friends for donations in between classes, asking friends and family, and some of you even ventured to trick-or-treat with the little orange box! It is with all your hard work that we were able to make such an amazing impact!

Hey, everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! As your class representative, I just want to thank everyone involved with our Key Club as well as those outside of it. Without all of you wonderful students, we would not be able to make such a difference in our community. It really makes me happy to see everyone so enthusiastic and joyful to provide service to those in need. Also, a shout-out of thanks to our wonderful club advisor, Mr. Misawa, who always lends helpful suggestions and really puts in effort to make our club the best it can be. Lastly, I'm thankful that I even get to be a part of Chino Hills High Key Club. This club contributes to who I am as a person, and with out it, I just wouldn't be myself! Thank you guys so much, and have a wonderful break! - Alana Mancao Class REpresentative I am thankful for Key Club because it helps me grow as a better person and a leader by caring for others. Each event is a humbling experience that changes my life, little by little. Being in Key Club has really opened my eyes and made me want to do whatever I can to put a smile on other people's faces; to ease the burden upon their shoulder or make their day at least a little bit better! - Jaihee Choi Director of Activities I am thankful for all the good times being in key club has brought upon me. And i will always stay grateful for all my fellow officers and members for providing me happiness. To know that we are all in this for the better of our community is possibly one of the greatest feelings and i cant be more proud of our club. - Vivien Chou Spirit Chair I am thankful for Key Club because I wouldn’t have met all you unique and committed individuals without it . Key Club is not just a club, I learned how to be humble, to NOT take things for granted, and have respect for everyone that I pass by. I am thankful to meet different people that made me look at life differently. I am thankful for every member, every parent, and our advisor Mr. Misawa. I am glad that I get to stand side by side with these amazing officers and our president Luis Tenorio. I am thankful for Key Club! - Elizabeth Santos Class Representative

Chino Hills High School Key Clubbers! Having been a member of this amazing organization for four years, I have grown so thankful for all this organization stands for and all the great individuals that have built it up! Each and every one of you have been an essential part in its success, and for that I truly thank you! I thank you for all the patience you have shown me. I know I am not the ideal President, and yet to see how patient and positive you all are with me is heartwarming. I thank you for your dedication. This year we have already completed so many service hours, it simply blows my mind away! Each and every time I see how many hours we accomplish each month I become incredibly overjoyed! I thank you for your spirit. At Fall Rally, seeing you all cheer your hearts out and come back with sore voices gave me one of the best feelings of satisfaction. To think that your spirit will carry on after I graduate and that your spirit will resonate on to the nest generation of Key Clubbers is invigorating! I thank you for everything you do, whether it is behind the scenes or simply putting all you can into the service that we perform for our community! To be Board: Thank you for everything! Without you all, I
would not be able to lead this club the way I have in these past couple of months. I am truly grateful for each and every one of you! You have each taught me something special from ways to improve my servant leadership to viewing things rom angles I never thought I to look from. I am incredibly blessed to be on a team with all o you and be spending my last year in Key Club with individuals such as yourselves. Mr. Misawa: Thank you for all your dedication and guidance. It has been a blessing to know you for four years and to have been able to grow so much as a leader to lead me to where I am now. Thank you for everything you have done for the club from its very initiation to now its is full development! You are simply amazing! L-O-V-E ! I LOVE MY C-L-U-B!
Your President, Luis Tenorio
