Hello Hippos!
I’m so proud of you all for doing such an
amazing job at RTC. Together, we were
able to bring more than ONE-HUNDRED
SEVENTY people, filling up half of the gen-
eral session hall! If you haven’t seen my
“amazed face” before, you should have
seen me then. I am ecstatic that we were
able to work together to accomplish such
an amazing feat – winning first place in
the spirit competition! All of your hard
work completely shows how much we
deserved it! Additionally, I hope you all
learned just as much as you had fun, be-
cause that would mean you learned a
ton!
In just NINE days, Fall Rally, located at Six
Flags Magic Mountain, will be upon us! In
order to BEE prepared for the spirit rally,
we will need to know our cheers by heart!
Come join Division 21 at the Fall Rally In-
formational DCM at Olive Grove Park on
November 3rd. We will be reviewing im-
portant information for both officers and
members, as well as practicing cheers so
we can win the session 1 spirit stick! See
you there!

PAST EVENTS
The purple Stride Walk is a walk fundraiser to help support those with Pancreatic
Cancer. Hippos wore the color purple as they helped cheer for those participating
in the run. Many arrived early just to help the event further. Although it was cold
in the morning, the Key Clubbers endured the weather just for the sake of en-
couraging many others!
This occurred also right after RTC, in which some brave souls actually came to
help out despite how tired they were from screaming the other night. It was an
event worth going to!

CONGRATULATIONS TO DIVISION 21 HIPPOS FOR WINNING FIRST PLACE IN THE SPIRIT COMPETITION! During RTC 2013: Su-
perpowers of Service, the D21 Hippos came together as a group to win the spirit competition. They were also able to gather
over 170 people to attend RTC, which is a huge milestone in D21 history. With the theme being "Superpowers of Service",
many Key Clubbers dresssed in costumes of their favorite superheroes and villains, including Region Advisor Mr. Crawford
dressing as Superman. After arrival, theater doors opened around 11:30. Introductions and following cheers rallied the
crowd, and later, Mrs. Timmins, ex-Serra Advisor, told a story about her experiences with physical disabilities, but how they
have not stopped her from succeeding.
After the first general session, the workshops began. Information about Key Club, officier positions, and other things was
presented to help those aspiring to better their clubs and themselves. Ice breakers were also included in several workshops
to help Key Clubbers make new friends with each other.
Following workshops, Key Clubbers were fed a wonderful dinner from L&L's, followed by the closing session. By judging
time, everyone was on the edge of their seats. First place was finally called, and it was given to none other than the GOLDEN
Division 21 Hippos.
