Happy summer, Kiwis!

Summer literally flew by! The school year is about to begin and I’m sure that all of our Kiwis are busy bees!

I would like to give a huge thank you to the DLT for doing such a great job at main-taining the Division while I am absent. I’ll be back soon! I hope you have all enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with service, love and happiness. I can’t wait to come back and tell you all about my experience in Paraguay!

I hope many of you were able to attend the DCM on the 16th! If not, I hope to see you at our next DCM. We have tons of events coming up, so look out for them!

Let’s start this school year strong, yes? Have an amazing time back to school!

Each month, I have one deed of kindness I’d like to see our fellow Kiwis complete. :) You can Facebook or e-mail me a photo or message of how it goes!

Deed of Kindness: Donate clothes that you aren’t using! :)

Flying with Service,

Division 2 Lieutenant Governor

Division Kiwis of the MonthDivision Kiwis of the Month

San Leandro: DAVID TRUONG

―What I like about Key Club is the passion and leadership that everyone has not only towards community

service, but also the dedication that we all put to-wards one goal.‖

―One interesting fact about me is that I love to sing because it gets rid of all my stress and calms

myself when I feel like I have something to express or when I am not in a good mood.‖

CLUB MEMBERS OF THE MONTH

Alameda: EMILY LIU

―My favorite memory of Key Club is when my friends and I spent all day baking really ugly cupcakes, brownies

and cookies (not on purpose!) for the bake sale.‖

―A favorite movie would be The Croods.‖

Arroyo: KASEY PHAM

―I like that Key Club brings us all together so that we can better the community. And [also] cute

girls.‖

―I like The Cat in the Hat, but the movie made me cry. It was really scary.‖

Albany: ALYSSA SHAN

―I don’t really have a favorite moment, but I like the times when volunteering, when not only do

you bond with the people you volunteer with but with the people you volunteer for.‖

CLUB MEMBERS OF THE MONTH

Berkeley: TAMAYA REID

―I like Key Club because it helps you to help others. I’ve always heard about people in difficult situations and I never really knew what I could do about it, so I found

Key Club to be a gateway to helping those people.‖

―This summer, I am going to L.A. and Yosemite with my family. I’m really excited!‖

Castro Valley: JAMES ZHEN

―All of the time I spent with Key Club has been great, but my favorite memory is going to March of Dimes. Volunteering together at the event helped me get to know more of my fellow members (as does

spending hours cramped in public transit). The people’s enthusiasm to support a good cause was extraordinary. We had many laughs and

it was a great experience.‖

―My favorite book is The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.‖

El Cerrito: MIKAELA CASI

―I like how Key Club is international and how we participate in community activities, enabling us to meet new people.

―[This summer, I plan on] swimming and volunteering at my church, especially with the home bound. Oh! And tak-

ing voice lessons.‖

―Everyone [in Key Club] is so enthusiastic and welcoming. I felt like I was part of it immediately.‖

―This summer, I’m working and in August, I’m going to Southern California and after that I’m camping.‖

Encinal: ANDY HUANG

―What I like about Key Club is that many people really get very hyped and doing service. I personally like meeting new

people and throwing myself out there.‖

Though it is summer break, everyone in Alameda Key Club is still active with service! Starting with Relay for Life, volunteers stayed overnight to support the American Cancer Society. The next service event was the Crown Beach Restoration, where our members collaborated to clean our local beach. And finally, we had the Parking Sign Clean Up event, where Alameda and Encinal Key Clubbers teamed up to take down the signs the day after July Fourth. Even with everyone’s busy summer schedules, Alame-da Key Club is still (and always!) ready to contribute to our community.

ALAMEDA

ALBANY

This month, Albany Key Club attended the July Fourth Festival in El Cerrito, helping our Kiwanis club sell hotdogs. The event was a great success, selling out a total of 4000 hotdogs in less than three hours! The Kiwanians appreciated our help a lot! We also have a couple of events coming up this summer, such as the AIDS walk and the Safety Palooza. It's great seeing Key Clubbers taking their time out of their break to help out their community!

ARROYO

BERKELEY

Arroyo Key Club participated in events such as the Studio One Clean Up and the July DCM, a barbe-que hosted by Castro Valley. Also, Arroyo High School was cheerfully recognized as a chartered club at the Installation BBQ when presented a banner and a bell by our advisors Vonnah Bagner and Chad Pennebaker. Upcoming events include a movie night, an event co-hosted by San Leandro and

Arroyo Key Club. We will be showing Back to the Future, a movie from 1985, on the big screen at the BAL theater. Both San Leandro and Arroyo are working hard to sell tickets and fundraise for their clubs. Arroyo officers are meeting together this summer to plan for a better KEY experience this up-coming school year. Our main focuses include increasing club members, increasing fundraising and providing our members with a more memorable club experience.

This month, Berkeley Key Club only had one event, but it was very successful. We had a bake sale on Fourth Street in Berkeley. We raised around $100. We all came together to bake cookies, brownies, Blondies, cupcakes, lemon bars and made lemonade. Most of our goods were sold and all of the money made went to PTP. It's great how we made a good amount for a great cause!

CASTRO VALLEY

This month, we attended the DWS event: Studio One Clean Up. We did garden-ing as well as cleaning the surrounding areas of Studio One. Also, we helped out at the annual Castro Valley Run to the Lake event where we handed out water to the runners and monitored the course. A few members from Oakland Tech also volunteered at the event. I encourage all members to attend next year because it was an amazingly fun and exciting event. We also had a successful car wash to FUNdraise for PTP.

EL CERRITO

On July Fourth, we volunteered at the Fourth of July Festival at Cerrito Vista Park. The event was fun! Everyone enjoyed themselves while volunteering. We all helped out at the game booths and kiddie rides during the festival. This festival was a great experience as our first event. Also, El Cerrito High School Key Club is planning to have a car wash soon.

OAKLAND HIGH

ENCINAL There hasn't been much going on for Encinal Key Club for the past month. There was a scheduled Safeway fundraiser, but unfortunately it was canceled. We are trying to set future events and we even have plans for recruiting new Key Clubbers at next school year's registration.

For the month of July, we had many service events available for our members to attend. Even though it's summer and a lot of members have things planned out with family and friends, there are still those who are ready to help when there's a chance! Some events include Run or Dye, Relay for Life, and division wide events which were Studio One Clean Up and the annual AIDS WALK in San Francisco! We're excited for more service events and we can't wait to see what's in store for us!

PIEDMONT With many of our members traveling over the summer, this past month has been a little bit slow, but we’ve still managed to make time for volunteering and bonding with our fellow Key Clubbers! A couple of our members attended the Studio One Clean Up and San Francisco AIDS Walk DWS. We also enjoyed relaxing and eating delicious food at the July DCM at Lake Chabot. Currently, we are thinking of ideas to maximize member recruitment for school registration. In addition, before school starts up again, we plan on holding a few fundraisers, perhaps bake sales, to raise money for PTP!

OAKLAND TECH In the month of June, Oakland Tech Key Club ended the 2012-2013 school year with a banquet. Our club became inactive during finals week, but we started doing service immediately after sum-mer started! We volunteered a couple times at the Uhuru’s Market at the Grand Lake Farmer’s Market. During June, we had a bake sale in Berkeley to fundraise for Pediatric Trauma Program. In July, we had a couple of our members that went to the Studio One Clean Up as a Division Wide Service. We also volunteered at Run or Dye in San Francisco. Also, for the rest of July, we plan on volunteering at the AIDS Walk of San Francisco, Oakland’s Relay for Life, and also hav-ing another bake sale as a fundraiser.

SKYLINE Although it's summer, the Skyline Key Club still hasn't slowed down. We're still trying to recruit members, and when school registration starts, we'll be hoping to be at a table, ready to spread the word of Key Club. Besides that, there are no new events except AIDS Walk and Relay for Life.

SAN LEANDRO

The month of July was a relaxing month for San Leandro! The events we hosted and attended were service or social events. For instance, San Leandro hosted the June OTC/DCM at the San Leandro Main Library, where Division 2 discussed the upcoming DCM, goals, recognition and businesses. Our Kiwanian, Vonnah Bagner, was the Kiwanian of the month! The San Leandro Art Association Festival of Art was basically an event where our Key Club had to watch over equipment. DWS Studio One Art Center was hosted by Oakland Tech and we beautified the gardens by, for example, cutting bushes, planting and picking roots. The Installation BBQ was for San Leandro Key Club and Arroyo Key Club. The new board was recognized and installed. We had activities going on such as water fights, the barbecue and icebreakers! Also, San Leandro Key Club won the Distinguish Club Diamond Level Award! Our goal is to have our car wash as soon as possible and to have more members join our club.

Installation Barbecue

On July 14th, San Leandro and Arroyo Key Clubs came together to welcome and rec-ognize their new officers. Key Clubbers also cheerfully celebrated with past officers for serving an amazing term this past year.

Participants enjoyed a variety of activities including a water balloon fight, a watermelon eat-ing contest, getting soaked with water guns, ice breakers, suck-a-skittle competition and getting pied in the face. With great enthusiasm, kiwis munched down on juicy, sweet watermelon as if there was no tomorrow. Han Tran, president of Arroyo Key Club, won first place and Breana Wong took on second. Everyone got to enjoy a BBQ lunch as they proceeded on to make new friends and chatter among themselves.

Installation time arrived when officers were called to receive a pin of recognition from the lovely club advisors, Vonnah Bagner and Chad Pennebaker. San Leandro’s club president, Jessica Huynh, was pied in the face by vice president Edmond Lau. Han Tran, president of Arroyo Key Club was pied on the spot by Kasey Pham. In addition to officer recognitions, Arroyo High School was presented with a Key Club banner as well as a bell as a result of being chartered on Jan-uary 28th, 2013.

Everyone enjoyed a joyous afternoon with much laugher as we all witnessed our lovely advi-sors Vonnah and Chad getting pied in the face. Key Clubber Tiffany Cai, claims, ―You can feel the energy and the urge for revenge in the air.‖ Summer time fun has just begun with our kiwi family!

During this month we had a couple of events, but the event that stood out the most was the Division-wide service (DWS) at the Studio One Art Center. It was a combined event with all of Division 2. San Leandro had three members that showed up (one old member and two new members!) and they did a lot of work that included gardening and clean-ing the areas nearby Studio One. Everyone enjoyed serving the community together and had a great time bonding.

Parking Sign Clean Up By Aiden Sun , A lameda

By Anthony Nguyen , San Leandro

On the Friday morning of July 5th, a group of Key Clubbers came together to help take down street signs left over from the Fourth of July parade. There were about ten volunteers from both Alameda and Encinal Key Club. Everyone brought scissors and pliers to cut down the signs that were located from the South Shore shopping center to Park and Central Street. The whole event was spectacular because everyone had a chance to communicate with each other while doing a service to the community. It was fun bonding with other Key Clubbers.

―I personally thought this OTC was a very informational event. Cindy Weng, our cur-rent LTG, and Charles Chu, our past LTG, first went over how to become a better leader as of being anyone. Then, Cindy talked about the jobs of each individual officer and the task coordinator. She also discussed ways to fundraise. One example was to have a tapio-ca sale.

The goal of our division is to raise $10,000 for PTP by FRN and $10,000 by the end of the term. Our service goals are 1,200 hours per month and membership increase goals depend on which school. Even if a school already has plenty of members, there’s always room to increase in numbers!

In between the power point presentations we had a quick lunch of pizza and chips. At this time everyone had the chance to socialize with each other. We later had cups of ice cream before returning to the rest of the presentations. In the end, Cindy had us write a letter to our future selves and a goal on another piece of paper that everyone signed.

The whole event was a great experience – I loved how informational it was on Key Club and of course, the food!‖

Studio One Clean Up

―The June DWS at the Studio One Art Center was actually the first division event I at-

tended this year. During the past division events, including the other DWS’s and DCMs,

there were always other local service projects for our club, other mandatory school events,

special occasions and etc.

Only the secretary (Bryan In) and I attended the DWS from our club. During the event, we mainly did some gardening work. For example, we pulled out weeds, cut bushes and

cleaned up leaves. Since I don’t go to many division events, I don’t actually know many

other Key Clubbers from other schools. However, each time another person wanted to

switch off a job, or were tired, I met someone new from our division. It was really nice to

work as a team, and it seemed very easy to start a conversation with a new person. At the

end of the service event, I ended up talking to some other kiwis and I also learned and

gained experience in gardening. It was definitely a very nice first DWS.‖

―The July DCM was a new experience because our dear Miss LTG Cindy was gone.

However, the DLT was there to lead it.

We started off the DCM with what club updates, then with our future plans and

ending with fun cheers lead by FRN Coordinator Jeremy Yu. The DLT then intro-

duced a special guest: our very own "Cindy Weng" (a cardboard cut-out of Cindy's

head on a stick).

We then proceeded on to the barbecue cooked by the Oakland advisor, Victor

Chan, and the Alameda advisor, Scott MacAskill. The food was delicious and well

worth the five dollars. Some members also helped the Kiwanis LTG Roberta with

PTP dolls. Volunteers helped put on labels and stuffing.

There was also a water fight mostly targeted at Oakland Tech's Megan Phuong and me, being it was our birthday. The DLT really pulled it off well in every component

of the DCM and I was glad to be able to celebrate my birthday with them as well.‖

―Fundraising for our preferred charities can get tough during the summer. Especially when a lot of our Kiwis are busy taking summer classes, going on vacation, or enjoying their summer, sum-mer is a really hard time to come together and fundraise. However, my club has figured an easy solution to this problem.

Every last Sunday of the month, we would travel to 4th Street in Berkeley and sell our home-made baked goods to the public. It’s sort of like a potluck, except we’re selling it. It became a tradition in our club to have a bake sale every month as a fundraiser! Also, it’s a really fun one!

During our bake sales, we would do cheers to attract customers to come to our table. Anything really works, like,―1.80 can save a child’s life, donate today.‖ We would have brochures for The EliMiNaTe Project and the Pediatric Trauma Program in case our customers want to get in-volved or learn more. Another bonus is educating the public by explaining the charities when they purchase some baked goods.

In terms of bringing baked goods, what my club found out that sells out easily are brownies, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, and French macarons. Being the baker that I am, I would go crazy and bring like 5-7 things every time we have a Bake Sale. Finally, this is a great opportunity to bond with your officers, whether you bake together and have a movie night, or just cheering on top of your lungs to attract customers to your table, this is an excellent idea to fundraise and bond together as a club!‖

Hello Kiwis!

I hope everyone had a fantastic July! Summer really is going by fast! What have you done? This summer, I went to Southern California and Las Vegas, attended an absolutely eye-opening leadership camp, went camping for the first time, and I will be going to a running camp later this month. I’d real-ly love for you all to share with me what you’ve done. Tell me and I may potentially feature it in the next issue.

Although the school year is quickly approaching, it is still summer! Haven’t done much? Don’t sweat it. This is your summer and this is your time. I encourage you all to create for yourselves an enjoy-able, productive, and impactful summer.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend both DWS events in July — looks like everyone had a blast though. :) However, I did attend the July DCM and I really hope everyone had a good time. The DLT worked hard and got the job done — and so, I’d like to give a quick shout-out to my wonderful counter-parts Edmond, Jeff, Julie and ALSO to the Task Coordinators! Finally, I must give a shout-out to eve-ryone who went. As we were preparing, multiple people would come up and volunteer to help us pre-pare the food and the grills. Every time I go to a division event, I am constantly reminded of how self-less and genuine the Kiwis are. Thank you for being you!

I’m super stoked about the events coming up in August. I’ll see you guys then! ^_^

Yours In Service,

, Division Newsletter Editor

P.S: I spotted some typos in the last issue. If you ever notice any mistakes, do not hesitate to let me know! Thanks! :)
