Lynne Ta | 11 | Bulletin Editor An annual Region 3 event is the ever infamous Beach Boomba where Key Clubbers across Region 3 which spans all of Orange County and part of LA come meet up at Huntington Beach to have fun and volunteer! Region 3 consists of Division 04 North, Division 04 South, Division 04 West, Division 04 East, Division 04 Central, Division 30 North, and Division 30 South! Last term, due to Covid we were unable to hold it in person but this year, luckily we were able to hold it once again. In the beginning, I had driven to the wrong beach, and had to walk 3 miles from one beach to another in order to make it to the event, but it was worth it in the end.

It was really cool to meet people from other divisions, which is normally something that we don’t get to do as well. Looking at everyone from afar, one would think that it was a rainbow sea because everyone was wearing their respective division color, creating a rainbow, the signature of Region 3. While I had personally came late, I found out through my friends that they had done a clothespin ice breaker, and relay races. Then there was a bonding activity where teams did tasks on a sheet of paper like taking photos with lieutenant governors and lifeguard towers! After all that was finished, it was time for lunch.

Pizza and snacks were our lunch and I sat at a table where we squished Oxford’s and Whitney’s board together. Once lunch was over, we got to watch the LTGS get pied and splashed with waterballoons. Lastly, it was time for each division to have their own DCM, before starting a beach clean up. The only thing I wished I remembered to do before was put on some sunscreen because I came home to sunburnt arms, a farmer’s tan and blisters from walking from one beach to another yet I’m still glad I was able to make it to Beach Boomba in the end.

Beach Boomba | 7

Megan Tran | 10 | Publicist With the pandemic taking over the world, I am pretty sure the feeling of not knowing how to act in person or socialize is universal at this point. Things are starting to take place in person instead of online, especially with the beginning of in-person school and the start of in-person Key Club events. A couple of weeks ago, Division 30 South’s first in-person event took place, Servathon. In my job as a spirit commissioner, I was put up to the job of leading the icebreaker.

As I stood up in front of nearly 100 people with a mic, ready to speak, I found myself getting nervous. It was a large difference from staring at faces through the screen of my MacBook. At this event, I met a lot of people, but it was lowkey awkward because I rarely had face-to-face interactions with new people in a while. However, I soon got the hang of it and made some new friends. For so long in quarantine, I forgot the feeling of being around loads of people and socializing so at Servathon, I didn’t know how to act in large crowds like I used to do. However, at Servathon, I rediscovered that those large, social environments are where I thrive the most.

With more and more in-person events arise, especially for Key Club, all of us must go through the whole process of learning how to make friends and socialize again, as we all did before the pandemic hit us with a bus. Relearning how to socialize is just the first step of the huge transition we must go through and now is just the start of a great Key Club term that will come with many new friends and more in-person events. With events like Beach Boomba and the Oxford x Western Beach Social having taken place already, we should get excited because we will get more chances to meet people from outside the division and socialize. Relearning how to socialize at these types of events is difficult and awkward at first, but after the obstacle is faced, we will look at a year of fun and new friends at Key Club events!

Lydia Lee | 12 | President On a sunny Tuesday in the middle of July, the division hosted a food bank at Magnolia High School. The event was created by a local church whose goal was to give back to the community during tough times. I worked with my best friend (!!!), Daniel Boulom, to distribute bread, Starbucks goods, and eggs to passing cars. We had a surplus of baked goods, so we grabbed an armful and threw it into each car at first. The boxes slowly decreased as time passed until we finally distributed all the bread we started with. We also gave out bags of Starbucks goods that other volunteers had assembled beforehand. The stock of eggs, Starbucks goods, and bread eventually completely ran out! It was impressive as the tower of boxes of bread were taller than Daniel and me at first.

The sun could not seem to shine brighter, and we were sweating buckets in the heat. The church provided a truck where volunteers could go into as it was almost like a refrigerator due to its low temperatures and volunteers were able to cool off. The church also provided refreshments such as cold water and Gatorade to all volunteers which was extremely thoughtful and considerate of them. Despite the hard and difficult labor, it was bearable thanks to the constant consideration and compliments from the usual adult volunteers.

They continued to thank us for our presence as there would usually be only 2 workers where the 8 of us were helping.

Furthermore, they constantly encouraged us to take breaks to cool down and hydrate. Their kindness helped me realize the true fun in volunteering and helping build our community together! Although I was extremely tired and had a headache as soon as I got home, it was still an enjoyable experience that I will not forget!

Finally, I was able to see all of my lovely officers and DLT members! Although the event was mostly DLT ft. friends, it was still great to talk to new people and be able to socialize with everyone. Make sure to come out to all of our future club and division events!

Kenneth Nguyen | 11 | Project Chair How do we sign up and attend an in-person event? After a full year of virtual service projects, as well as serving as one of the Project Chairs who find these volunteer opportunities, here is a step-by-step process of how to attend an in-person event. The first step is to check your school email. Devanshi Kothari, our current Key Club Secretary, sends out weekly emails on Thursdays, which contain current updates, events, fundraisers, and service projects. Look through the whole email and read the description, time, and date of the in-person events, and you may choose to sign up for them. In order to sign up, click on the TinyUrl that is linked with the event. The link will then lead you to the website “SignUpGenius”. SignUpGenius is a website that Oxford Academy Key Club has used for several years, and provides an easy way for the chair (the board member who records the hours of the volunteers) to view the names of volunteers. Once you receive the website, look at the shifts that you are available and would like to sign up for, and click the checkmark(s) next to “Sign Up” in the box of the designated shift. Once you have selected all of the shifts you would like, click “Submit and Sign Up” at the bottom of the screen. There, you will be sent to a window with “Sign me up for:” that has all of the information you need regarding the whereabouts and time of the event. Type in your first & last name, email, as well as your grade number in the comment. Once you are finished, click “Sign Up Now”. And there you have it! You have signed up for an event. Make sure to follow all directions in the description of the event, such as if there is a waiver you must bring or a form you need to fill out online. Continue to check your email prior to the event in case the Project Chairs email you (oakcprojectchair@gmail.com)! Attending the event, make sure to meet up with other members of Oxford Academy Key Club, especially the “chair” so they can record your hours. In the email that Devanshi sends, there will be “______ chairs”, which is the board member that you should meet up with! If you signed up for an event but decided that you would not like to attend or had a last-minute event that prevents you from attending, you may delete your sign up by going to the Sign Up Genius, clicking “change your signup”. After clicking that, you maybe delete your sign-up by clicking one of the 3 options, submitting your email, checking your email with the link to delete your sign-up, and deleting your sign-up. You can also feel free to contact the Project Chairs to delete your sign-up! And there you have it, everything you need to know to sign up for an in-person Key Club event at Oxford Academy. Hope to see all of you at the events!

In Person Events | 9

Joseph Lukas | 12 | Spirit Chair Hey Suns! So if you didn’t know, on July 26th, we had our first in-person social event! It was in collaboration with Western Key Club, and it was a pretty fun event! It was at Huntington Beach near Tower 17, which is near Beach Blvd and PCH. Even though the area was easy to get to, it took a little bit of time for everyone to get to the area since a lot of people were confused on where to go. However, it happens sometimes! Since it was our first in-person social in at least a year and 4 months, it has been a while since anyone has planned a social in-person. However, that didn’t stop us from having a great Social, which I’m going to recap for you all!

We first started the Social with the icebreaker “I Love My Neighbor”. This is a game where everyone gets into a circle, and the person that starts the game will be in the middle. The person in the middle will say “I love my neighbor who…” and they’ll describe a characteristic that applies to both them and other people within the circle. The people in the circle that identify with the characteristic then need to move from their spot and go towards someone else’s spot.

Everyone usually will take off one of their shoes or place an item on the floor at the beginning of the game so everyone knows where a spot is available. The goal of the person in the middle is to get a spot in the circle, while the goal of the people in the circle is to avoid being the person in the middle. Since the amount of spots in the circle are the amount of people playing -1, this means that there will always be 1 person that doesn’t have a spot. The person that doesn’t have a spot at the end of the round will be the person in the middle. We played this game for about 10 minutes, and the person in the middle had to announce who they were so everyone could get to know them. The goal of the game was to familiarize everyone with each other and to start the social with a fun activity.

The second Icebreaker that we played was “Huggie Bear”. In this icebreaker, the MC (which was me :D) would announce a number to everyone in the group. Then, everyone would have to get into groups, where the amount of people in a group would be said number. Whoever can’t get into a group would then be out of the game. We played 2 rounds of this game, and it was an exciting time! It was really funny to watch people scramble to make groups, and it was interesting to see how people decided who would be in a group when it came down to chopping off someone to fit the said number.

In order to transition into our service project, our president gave me the fantastic idea to get everyone into groups by using “Huggie Bear” (she’s really smart). Since we wanted people to be in groups of 3-4, I told everyone to get into groups of 4. I then let everyone know that the group they got into would be the group that they would do our service project with. This worked out quite well because it allowed everyone to be in a group, and there wasn’t much time for people to get into groups with their friends as “Huggie Bear” is a game of speed.

For our service project, we did a Beach Cleanup!! One of the attendees of the event brought a speaker, so we were able to play music while everyone went off in separate directions to pick up trash. It was a really fun and lowkey activity to do, which made this social really enjoyable. Everyone was having a fun time talking to each other about life, their summer, and some of the objects that was found at the beach. It was really nice to hang out with people in-person again instead of talking to a screen with names on it.

To conclude the event, we took group photos to post on social media and hung out with each other for the remaining time of the event. Overall, the Social was a success!! I’m very happy with how the Social happened, and many people looked like they were having fun. Make sure to look out for our upcoming Socials with different Key Clubs everyone!! It’s a fantastic way to get to know people from other schools, and just to overall have a great time with everyone!

OA X Western Social | 11

Kaylin Chan | 10 | Historian Oxford Academy and Western High held a joint social in the month of July. That social was crashed by “outsiders” from Whitney High, Magnolia High, and Cypress High. We had fun, played games, conducted our beach clean-up, and even though the beginning felt like chaos, the social ended with success and fun chaos!

People can come from anywhere and no matter what, we all can have fun together. The unexpected can often be intriguing and exciting. Expect the unexpected and find a way to make whatever is going on, even better. The phrase, “the more the merrier” really did apply to this situation and also to Key Club overall. Everything in this club is so much more enjoyable with more friends; the connections and friendships/relations created in one’s time within Key Club is one of the numerous reasons that students join this club and love it so much!

As a person who spent their first year in Key Club online, at home, behind a screen, I can say with full confidence that this in-person social is nothing like the virtual ones. No matter the degree of excitement, fun, laughter, activity, and connecting one can experience online, it is not to be compared to the in-person Key Club experience!

I hope in the future, as the pandemic situation gradually recedes, more and more amazing Key Clubbers and future Key Clubbers will attend these events and enjoy or at least learn of the craziness and fun that occurs here and there, whether planned or unplanned.

Tiffany Ong | 12 | Vice President This month, Oxford Key Club held it’s very first in-person social in over a year! It was actually very successful and I’m glad about how it turned out, despite all the challenges we faced right before the social started. The social was on a Monday, and it was at a beach, which probably isn’t the most ideal location and date for a social to be for kids who need rides from their parents… who have work. It was also the day of Oxford’s registration, so some people had to rush to the beach right after they left Oxford’s campus. It was definitely a struggle for a bunch of Key Clubbers to find rides, including me, but I’m glad that everything turned out fine! :) Everyone who I knew needed a ride was able to find one, which is good news! Personally, getting to the beach was very chaotic and almost everything was going wrong— we didn’t know if we were going to Huntington City or Huntington State beach, I (and a few others) was running late to the social (when I was supposed to go early), some people forgot to bring their forms :’), and so much more. When we got there, it wasn’t even sunny at all and the wind was blowing like crazy. But honestly, the people who were there just made the social super fun and memorable. We didn’t do many things according to our plans, but the spontaneity of the event just made it so much more fun! We played “I Love my Neighbor” (where I unfortunately had to talk in the middle of a circle) and “Hug-a-Bear” which I think were great bonding activities! We then did a service project in which we picked up trash from the beach, and I went with a few people who I didn’t know so I’m glad I got to meet new people and make some new friends. :D All in all, the social was a huge success, even though everything didn’t go according to plan. I’m glad that everyone had a lot of fun and that I got to meet so many people from Western, and other schools like Whitney and Cypress. I also got to see some 10th graders in person for the first time ever, since I had never gotten the chance before! The event reminded me of how much Key Club events were before going virtual, and made me miss in person events so much more. It just goes to show how you don’t exactly need plans to have fun at an event like a social, you just need a positive community who’s willing to have some fun together!

Devanshi Kothari | 11 | Secretary As we begin the transition back to in-person events, OAKC hosted our first in-person social this past month. We held this social at Huntington Beach in collaboration with Western Key Club. During this social, we held multiple activities and had high attendance. I thoroughly enjoyed this event and was so happy to see so many members that I haven’t seen for so long due to the pandemic.

The social started off with everyone checking in, turning in their forms, listening to music, and socializing for the first few minutes. Once everyone had checked in, we began icebreakers! The first icebreaker we played was “My Good Neighbor Who” where we essentially formed a circle, had a person in the center, had them state a visual trait, and if people within the circle had that trait, they would have to find a new spot in the circle. The one person who would be left out without a spot would proceed to be in the middle, introduce themselves and a new round would start. This game was very fun and helpful in learning people’s names and their backgrounds. The second game we played was “Hug-A-Bear” where the person leading the event would call out a number and members had to form groups of the number. Any groups with too many people or too few were disqualified, and we eventually narrowed it down to two people who were our winners! This game helped me meet new people since we were forced to form groups with any members to reach the number requirement.

Next, we formed groups of 4 members and began our service project for our social. The location of the social was the beach, so it only made sense for the service project to be a beach cleanup. Each group was given gloves and a trash bag. Members walked around the beach, picking up trash and making the beach a better, cleaner place! Cleaning up the beach was very enlightening since it made me realize the huge amount of trash on the beach which is why beach cleanups are so important! In all, our first in-person social was very successful and fun for our members with a wide range of activities.

Leann Vo | 11 | Treasurer The first Division Event in over a year!! The D30S Servathon event was a fun way for members to earn their service hours as well as socialize with people all over the district. In order to make new friends and socialize with others, we were split into groups at the beginning of the event. The first activity we did was a drawing icebreaker where everyone in the group drew on a paper for approximately thirty seconds and then passed the paper to the person on the left. Once the paper made its way around the entire group, everyone was left with the new drawings that were drawn on their original paper. The next activity was painting tote bags. This part of the event was my favorite because it allowed everyone to be as creative as they wanted. I painted my tote bag with a watermelon design; however, I saw people paint Hello Kitty, sunsets, and more! We also made friendship bracelets and cards. The best part of this event was getting to socialize with the people in my group and making new friends. I also loved the idea of getting to decorate tote bags to donate! This event was so fun and I am looking forward to the next division event!

Helen Tran | 10 | Publicist On Saturday, July 1 7th, Division 30 South hosted its first official in-person event of the term: Serve-a-thon! It was held from 10 AM to 12 PM in the courtyard of a church in Anaheim. As someone who spent their first year of Key Club online, I was both extremely nervous and excited about attending! It was my first official division event with other people, and I was worried about being awkward with other people and all that. I ended up having so much fun, though! I actually came around 8:30 AM to help set up for the event, and I specifically helped to decorate the area, setting up the backdrop, and all that. It got stressful as people started arriving and we were still adding our finishing touches, but we managed to finish the wall on time! After that was the event itself. We first started with an icebreaker led by the division spirit chairs, with attendees split into groups that would sit around in a circle. Everyone had a paper, a writing utensil, and around 5 seconds to draw.

After the five-second intervals, the paper would be passed onto the next person for them to add on to the existing drawing or add their own personal touches! By the end, it was interesting and fun to see the progress of each paper, and the unique drawings that were on it. Next came the actual service! We painted mini tote bags, tied knots to form friendship bracelets, and wrote cards to be distributed throughout the community. While it was very enjoyable, the thought that it was all contributing to others made it even better! Cypress Key Club also held a fundraiser throughout the duration of the event, and I bought quite a few yummy snacks, to be honest. Overall, I had a great time taking part in the activities and getting to know other people in our division! I can’t wait to interact with everyone even more and am truly looking forward to more in-person division events for the future.

Kelly Vo | 10 | Tech Chair July 17 marks the day of the first in-person division event since quarantine and the start of returning to normalcy.

Hosted at West Anaheim Methodist Church, Servathon aimed at creating and donating items to the church.

Having arrived a bit early, I got the chance to get a brief view on how hard the DLT team truly worked to set up and plan this event. Table set ups, rehearsals, taping the photo backdrop up, and organizing, all at 9 AM in the morning (way too early if you ask me).

However, despite the added pressure of hosting this first in person division event since “decades” ago, their efforts to perfect and execute were definitely rewarded by how amazing it ended up being.

After signing in and getting temperatures checked, members were given tote bags and string, as well as a piece of paper and marker. Everyone was given time to reconnect with old friends and make new ones while waiting for the event to start, which happened at the sound of the LTG’s voice through the mic.

Introductions began and instructions were given. Soon enough, everyone was separated into their respective groups, sorted by the number on the top left corner of each paper. Gathered in a circle, we began with an activity where we would draw for 30 seconds, then pass on our paper to the right. We would be given another 30 seconds, and this continued until it made a full circle around. At the end, drawings would be formed from everyone’s contributions, and I would say mine turned out amazing. It was a cute token I got to keep as a reminder to the group I got to meet. Next was the tote bag painting activity, where we all took some paint and decorated tote bags which would be donated to the church. I had gone with the sunset aesthetic, but everyone’s looked amazing, especially with the variety in designs. Lastly, we had taken the three strings given to us and braided it into bracelets.

At this point in time, a lot of people began walking around and making conversations. It was great to see everyone make new friends.

Personally, I found this event super amazing, especially with all the people I got to meet. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was really welcoming. As this was my first in-person division event as a key club member, this was definitely memorable, and I do not regret going at all (despite the terrible mask tan). Looking forward to the next one!

(Shout out to Cypress Key Club who were working hard and selling some really good food there!)

Division Servathon | 13

Rachel Kim | 10 | Historian As August approaches, we all find ourselves getting busier for the start of school. Instead, to distract my self, I like to involve myself in fun service events. Volunteering may seem tiring but it is indeed a great way to have fun while getting our minds off of school; and above all, it is for a good cause! A recent service event I participated in in July is Project Jumpstart Backpack Supply Distribution.

Project Jumpstart Backpack Supply Distribution is one of the annual events that the bigger organization, Project Jumpstart, hosts for financially burdened families. This specific project focuses on giving out free backpacks full of essential school supplies and boxes of food for students from grades K-12 who are living in poverty. Because some families can not afford to buy their children school supplies, this backpack distribution helps support these families and students who need it. Especially because this event could not occur last year due to the pandemic, the workers and helpers there were all ecstatic and excited about the event.

At the event, we helped set up the stations and pack the items in the backpacks. I mainly helped pack school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, and other stationery into the free backpacks. Other volunteers helped distribute cookie boxes and food for the students.

They were then given out to the families in the form of a drive-through. The families driving by to pick up items were also very happy and grateful.

Although it was hot and there was a lot of work to be done, I would say that the event was very successful and all the volunteers were happy to be there. There were cosplayers and music to brighten up the mood and help make the visiting children happy. When the event ended, they even let us take extra leftover boxes of Girl Scout cookies!

I also asked my friend whom I brought along about how the volunteer experience was. Because it was her first time volunteering, she found it interesting to see so many people there working in the hot, humid weather to help out. Because of the many hard working helpers and volunteers present to work hard for such a good cause, she felt more motivated and uplifted to volunteer, despite it being physical work. She said it was definitely fun and fulfilling, and she wants to participate in more service events in the future. I believe it will be a cool experience for anyone to volunteer at our many service opportunities
