Push through to the end! Set end-of-the-year goals. Plan those last service events. Make this Key Club year a memorable one that’s worth CELEBRATING.

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

February’s Service InitiativeThe Spotlight on Service Program was created to educate Cali-Nev-Ha Key Clubbers about the Key Club International as well as Cali-Nev-Ha Service Initiatives and encourage active participation with/for the or-ganizations and initiatives. A service Initiative is assigned each month in which clubs should focus a project or two on supporting the initiative.

The February Focus is...

Children’s Miracle Network is one of Key Club’s Preferred Charities. The mission of CMN is to raise funds and awareness for our local Children’s

Miracle Network Hospitals. CMN strives to save young lives battling virtually every type of childhood illness and injury by helping to purchase

proper equipment, training doctors, implementing outreach programs, and providing healthcare for children whose parents cannot afford to pay.

Conclave Recap

ltg ELECTIntroduction

Hello, my lovely Kiwis!

I am so honored to be your next Lieutenant Governor. I am BEEyond excited to see what this term can bring for our division. I am so impressed with our dedication to service and leadership this past term, and I know that, together, we can achieve so much more.

In the upcoming 2015-2016 term, I am SUPER excited to take F.L.I.G.H.T. with my Kiwis! Family is what Key Club is to me. We will share this experience with every single member and show others the true meaning of Car-ing, our way of life. Leadership is an important quality that can be found in any individual. Find the leader inside of you and help your community, one service hour at a time! Individuals are the most important part of this club. Every single person can make a difference in this world and I know we can shine a spotlight on every single mem-ber in Division 2. Goals are what drive our division forward. I plan to collaborate and communicate more with our Kiwanis clubs. This includes constant communication and, hopefully, joint service events. I hope to increase division membership and event attendance by 25%. As a division, we have a stronger focus on fundraising for our preferred charities. I will work with each individual club to set goals for the term. Home is what Key Club has become to me. I will bring this loving and accepting environment to our entire division. Everyone has a place in Key Club. Teamwork makes the dream work. Together, I know we can win the Spirit Stick at FRN and reach new altitudes as a division!

I have high hopes for our division. I know with dedication, love, leadership, and service, we can reach these goals and more. I promise to continue the legacy of all my past Lt. G’s and bring this division growth in many ways. I will support this division as your next Lieutenant Governor so we can take F.L.I.G.H.T into new beginnings for Division 2!

With Love and Service,

Calvin TangDivision 2 Lieutenant Governor Elect 2015-2016

CLUB REPORTS

Alameda

Albany

Winter break has ended and its back to school for our club. Before the break started, we had a hot chocolate fund raiser which raised around $55. This month, Alameda Key Club went to bake pies at Uhuru, made ornaments to sell, cleaned up at Studio One, and distributed food at the Salvation Army during Christmas. We also plan on distributing the ornaments to our regular members to help fund raise. In addition, some of our members have shown inter-est in going to DCON during March after seeing a video from it.

This month, Albany finished up old business to make way for the new year! We finished making and selling our Winter Wonder Candy Cards and handed them out before school ended. One of our presidents even dressed up as Santa Claus! We also attended the Decem-ber DCM for the ginger-bread house making contest, and two of our officers came in third place! We also kept up our monthly tradition with our Kiwanis Park Clean Up, making sure the park stayed neat and clean for our wonderful Kiwanians. We’re so excited for the new year! Happy 2015 everyone!

American Indian Public For the month of December, American Indian Public volunteered at the Oakland Kiwanis Holiday Auction. We also attended Interkey and had an awesome time bonding with mem-bers from both Interkey and Key Club. Moreover, we volunteered at the Dunsmuir Holiday Tradition. Before winter break, American Indian celebrated our club’s one year anniversary. Not only did we attend the DCM, but our school also helped clean up Art Studio 1 the fol-lowing day. Currently, American Indian Public is planning our club election and DCON 2015!

This month Arroyo Key Club was really active in the beginning of December as we had five events all in one week! The events include Davis Street Foundation Toy Sorting, Bikes for Tykes, Dunsmuir-Hellman Event, Crochet for Charity, and Bridgeview Trail Restoration. After that week, we also had a Bike Helmet Sticker Event, Lorenzo Manor Craft Night, and Bikes for Tykes. Things then cooled down as winter break was approaching, but before our break, we finished the year off strong with our Winter Wonderland Photo Booth where we let Arroyo students take glamorous pictures at our own winter-themed photo booth with cute props made by our club! We are currently hosting elections for next term’s board and are very excited for DCON!

On December 13 we volunteered at Berkeley High School’s Holiday Meal to feed and give clothing donations to those in need. Then on December 20 we bagged oranges at Alameda Food Bank. On the 21 we went to DWS: Studio One Clean-Up. Finally, on December 27 we had a bake sale on Fourth Street.

Berkeley

Castro ValleyDecember was a month where everyone had the time to be with family and friends and en-joy the holidays. Although many were busy with such things, We still found the time to go out and help serve our community. There were two great DWS events this month, including Dunsmuir holiday tradition and a Studio One Clean Up.We also attended the great A2D2 key Club and Interact combined event which was a lot of fun. Also, this month, we attended three Salvation Army Bell ringings each week leading up to Christmas. Finally, we had anoth-er movie night fundraiser which was pretty successful, raising about 100$!

El Cerrito

EncinalDue to the majority of members having long vacations away from the Bay, Encinal didn’t have numerous events. But, we did finish collecting gifts for the Alameda Meals-on-Wheels gift drive. We collected a whole bag full gifts and cannot thank our members enough. This month we also helped out the Alameda Food Bank. Encinal had our first club social of the year and had a blast bonding with each other. Encinal is holding elections in January.

This month we had a pancake breakfast that we attended, a winter carnival fundraiser, and planning on attending a college workshop in Hayward. There is also elections for board members a week after we get off Winter Vacation.

OaklandIt’s been a great month for Oakland High’s Key Club. Our school has participated in various events such as Sasaul Creek, Life is Living, Campus Cleanup, Trybe’s Halloween Event and much more. Once again, with the participation of many dedicated members, we’ve fulfilled the minimum goal of having at least 100 service hours. With all the engagement this month, we’ve pulled through with over 238 hours of service! We are happy our club is going strong and we are looking forward to many more projects/service events in the upcoming months.

Leadership PublicFor December, we had three events. They were the Ice Skating Event in Dublin, the A2D2 Bonding Event in San Leandro, and we also took time out to write cards for hospitalized children during the holiday season as an act of kindness.

Oakland TechnicalFor this month, we went to all of the District events. We had members go to the DWS and DCM in Studio One as well as the Christmas service. We also attended the A2D2 event and made a lot of new friends. For the next few months we hope to continue fundraising with both our old and future board.

PiedmontWith winter break and finals taking up the majority of our time recently, we have not been as active as we would like to be. A few of our members attended the December DCM — one of our teams even took first place! (Shoutout to Rachel and Chris!) In addition, we volunteered at the Hot Chocolate Run in San Francisco, one of our favorite events to date. As usual, we are continuing our biweekly bubble tea sales to fundraise for PTP and the Eliminate Project. We’re looking forward to finishing this term strong by volunteering as much as we can and meeting more Key Clubbers!

San LeandroThis month San Leandro’s Key Club has had many wonderful events! We had the chance to volunteer at Food Pantry, Bikes for Tykes, Dunsmuir-Hellman Holiday Tradition, Bike Hel-met Stickers, and The Jewelry Box. Also, our club had the opportunity to Crochet for Char-ity, where our wonderful Kiwanian Vonnah taught our members how to crochet hats to send to cancer patients at Oakland’s Children Hospital. The next coming month we look forward to volunteering at the Kiwanis Annual Crab Feed, the 15th Annual Crab Feed at Greek Or-thodox Cathedral of the Ascension, and Oakland Zoo Clean Up.

This month has been slower than the officers have collectively wished. Since it was around the holidays we conjured many ideas and things we could do to help raise club spirit and fun-draise (on being the bake sale) however we were not able to execute many due to the reason that many key clubbers and officers were busy with plans. However we were able to have the bake sale and make around $180 in profit.

One of the best days for not only Berkeley High Key Club, but also the school as a whole is the school’s Holiday Meal. Organized by Berkeley High’s Chief of Service Julia Rosenberg, volunteers fed over three hundred people in need. This is both ex-citing and fulfilling to volunteer at.I’ve volunteered at Berkeley High School’s Holiday Meal all four years I’ve been a student at Berkeley High School. It has been thrilling to see the event grow and also take more of a lead role in it. This year I was in charge of decorations. We trans-formed the High School cafeteria into a winter holiday extravaganza with a Christ-mas tree surrounded by clothing donations to help the homeless and those in need get through the winter. Working at the meal is always chaos – serving dishes, helping others, looking for one thing or another. It’s beautifully chaotic. When the last person leaves there is a big sigh of relief and feeling of joy knowing how much Berkeley High School helped the community.Next year, as a college student, I hope my winter break starts early enough that I can go back to Berkeley High and volunteer at the Holiday Meal once again.

I don’t like to wake up early, but I do love to volunteer and eat chocolate.

On Sunday, January 11th, eight of our members volunteered at the Hot Chocolate 15K/5K Run in San Francisco. The Run’s proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House in San Francis-co, which provides temporary homes for families with critically ill or injured children.

Waking up at 4:30 AM, we drove to San Francisco to make the start of our 5:30 AM shift. Upon arrival, we received complimentary volunteer sweatshirts and hot chocolate, perfect for the chilly morning. Our job was to help run the chocolate tent, the end point for finishers of the race. Each finisher received a mug filled with chocolate fondue, pretzels, marshmel-lows, rice krispies, wafers, and last but not least, hot chocolate.

While half of us were assigned to fill the mugs with fondue, the other half handed the mugs to the runners. As the runners finished and approached the tent, we would compete with the other volunteer groups to cheer as loud as we could, trying to get the finishers to come to our station. Over 12,000 people finished in total. The liveliness of both the runners and vol-unteers only grew as the event went on.

By noon, the last of the finishers rolled in. Although we’d been there for over six hours, I don’t remember ever feeling tired. After cleanup, we got to have more hot chocolate and taste all of the goodies where were of course, delicious!

No doubt, we would love to volunteer at the Hot Chocolate Run again next year. Aside from the free food, it was very rewarding to chat with and congratulate the finishers; their smiles and dedication to the cause not only made my day, but also reminded me why I love to volunteer.

On December 20th, 2014, San Leandro Key Club teamed up with other local Key Clubs like Arroyo and other service clubs such as Interact and Jefferson Service to assist with the distribution of bikes to people who had won a “lottery” for a new bike. The bikes were provided by the Kiwanis club and Key Club helped to give the numerous amounts of bikes of various colors and sizes to the families that came.

It was so nice to see the happiness and joy that these people got from receiving a new bike. It really displayed what giving back can really do – not just during the holiday season, but in general. Especially during a time where some people cannot provide gifts to their children like other families can, giving back and doing service and seeing the impact that comes from service is a priceless reward.

There were also television crews recording the event and a huge turnout of student volunteers at the event. Special shout-out to San Leandro service clubs for helping to give back this holiday season!

Encinal had a club social this month. Members voted on what we wanted to do as a group dur-ing a meeting and the choice to ice skating won. We also invited alumnus to join us as well! Many of us did not know how to ice skate so it was a really interesting thing watch. Everyone bonded through helping each other across the rink.

On December 25 some our members and officers went to volunteer at the Salvation Army Christmas Luncheon. The event lasted from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, but there were so many volunteers that we could take short breaks if we wanted to. For people who arrived early, the event coordinator asked them to help prepare candied yams. After this, everyone went upstairs to be in a meeting where the event coordinator explained what we were going to do. Volunteers mainly passed out food, but some people went on clean up if it was necessary. One of the hardest jobs was probably scooping ice cream, because the ice cream was very difficult to scoop out. There were many times when people stopped coming to get food, and other times where there was an influx of people trying to get food; this made the volunteering somewhat hectic. Near the end of the service, some people were allowed to take longer breaks and decided to try some of the food that was being passed out. At the end, some people stayed and helped clean up. Adults weren’t the only people who came to enjoy the event; some people even brought their whole family to the event.

On an early Saturday morning, Arroyo Key Clubbers went to Davis Street Foundation in San Leandro to help sort toys and food. Working alongside a few DECA members, volunteers were split into two groups. One group was in charge of sorting and organizing toys that would be given away to children at a later date while the other group went to a huge food storage room to pack boxes with a fixed amount of certain food. Volunteers worked as an assembly line with certain people assigned to different sections of the food storage room. About five people pushed carts with one or two boxes in them through the different sections of the food storage room, and the people assigned to their sections put the necessary food into the boxes. When finished packaging, the boxes were then taped closed and this cycle continued until we packaged 75 boxes that would be given to fami-lies in need. After a short break, the two groups recombined and went to the food storage room to shelve and organize food in the storage room. We first unpacked boxes filled with a variety of food and then shelved the certain foods in their designated areas while a few others were unfolding the unpacked boxes in another area of the storage room. This event really displayed exemplary cooperation and teamwork while having a fun time and giving back to our community! We were certainly filled with joy knowing that we will put smiles on children’s and families’ faces when they receive the toys and food.

Over Winter Break, American Indian Public prepared to take over Oakland Kiwanis’ weekly meetings. We arrived at Buttercup Grill near Jack London and prepared a Christmas themed auction to the Kiwanians. We were able to auction off tiramisu mason jars, hot cocoa gifts, and even an opportunity for us to clean two of the Kiwanian’s home! The adults were intrigued as we captivated them with our persuasiveness and magic tricks. Moreover, we took on bets initiated by the Kiwanians, such as 25 push-ups each or who can beat one of the adults in arm wres-tling. At the end of the event, American Indian raised over $600 thanks to the Oakland Kiwanians. The meeting was a really enjoyable event as we were able to give thanks to the Oakland Kiwanians who have helped us, as well as raise money for future events—DCON! After this takeover, American Indian Public will be sure to return!

American Indian Public’s Takeover!

Over the course of winter break, Key Club members had the opportunity to continuously help fundraise for our club. Extensively, we planned, baked, and sold baked goods such as cookies, cupcakes, christmas coal, and brownies. To start, our fundraising officer, Vy Huynh, came up with the idea to have a christmas themed bake sale over the break. In order to make things go smoother she came up with a list ahead of time to figure out the materials and tools we needed and brought them up in an officer meeting. Quickly, problems were solved and materials were gathered. Andrew, Skyline’s Vice Presi-dent of Service, generously provided the club with a place to bake and cooking instruments to use while I offered a table and posters we would be able to use later on. During the general club meeting on friday we mentioned it to the members and in their family groups (club members they were responsible for) asked if anyone had time and were willing to go. The responses were of the usual spectrum of yes, no and maybe so, however the people that were willing to go was informed of the place and time of the event. The event lasted from 11 am to 4 pm.

Before the event took place it had been decided beforehand that we, as a collective group were to haul in ideas and decide which ones to execute and include in our bake sale. Eventually, we came up with the designs and list of ingredients needed to create our sugar filled snacks. Along the way, we also came up with the idea to decorate jars and ask for donations while we held the bake sale in case people wanted to support but not invest in a treat. After deciding what we were to do, we went ahead to the safeway down the hill and bought the ingredients needed. Then, it was finally time to slave over the pans, bowls, and ovens. Tirelessly and relentlessly we worked together to bake and filled in helping each other with what others were not particularly good at. One by one we placed the treats in the oven and one by one we took them out, let them cool down, and decorated them heavily with frosting and crushed candy canes.

Being able to fulfil this task with a handful of amazing people was really fun. It was a great group to work with and all though it was small, it did not affect how much fun we had. Along with the baking and working we joked and sang along having rap battles and dancing lessons constantly throughout the time together. The atmosphere while working was lovely. We worked together seamlessly and it was easy to tell that everyone was having fun.

despite the lack of an event and made some new friends!

Finals are over, the second semester has started, and I’m sure Se-niors are feeling the senioritis creeping in. BUT this is not the time to slack off! Let’s finish this term and year off strong! Awake-A-Thon’s coming up this month, DCON 2015 is just a month away, and it seems that I can see summer off in the distance.

I know that I am super, super excited to meet tons of Key Clubbers from all over the District, learn more about being leader, and just have a great time in Anaheim. The new board will be sworn in, and the old board retired. On that note, congratulations to our Lieutenant Governor Elect, Calvin Tang! I know that you will do an amazing job next term, you have the passion and the drive to take our division far. I know that under your guidance we Kiwis will truly take F.L.I.G.H.T.!
