Hey Red

Bulls!

I hope that all of you

are having a fun and safe

summer so far in between

bonfires, summer assign-

ments, trips to the fair,

and Key Club. :) Thank

you all for continuing to

plan service events for your

members this summer –

it’s never too early to get

started on your hours for

next year!

Right now, your divi-

sion and region are hard at

work planning OTC, Re-

gional Training Confer-

ence, figuring out prices

for divisional shirts/

hoodies (which look in-

credibly sick), and visitingclubs.

On the international

level, ICON was recently

held in Memphis where

Stephanie Yuan from

CNH’s own D12E was

elected as an

International

Trustee and

Kiwanis Inter-

n a t i o n a l

adopted Mater-

nal and Neona-

tal Tetanus as

its new World-

wide Service

Project. In 37

South, Key Clubbers com-

pleted 1176.75

hours of service

to their homes,

schools, and communities.

I know that being an

officer requires a lot of

dedication and I know that

some of you have hit the

ground running, but please

always remember that your

division is here to support

you if you still have ques-tions about your position

and intense officer training

at OTC will also be com-

ing up in a few short

weeks. I have had the

honor of meeting many of

you already this summer,

but for those clubs that I

haven’t visited yet, let me

(and the division) know

what you’re doing with a

post on the reflector. Until

then, keep up the amazing work (:

Love,

iwanis International and UNI-

CEF have once again partneredto save the lives of babies and

their mothers by eliminating maternal

and neonatal tetanus (MNT). UNICEF

Ambassador and

actress Tea

Leoni deliv-

ered the

announce-

ment at

the 95th

Annual

Kiwanis

Interna-

tional Con-

vention,

Thursday, June

24th, 2010 in Las

Vegas, Nevada.

With The ELIMINATE pro-

ject, Kiwanis International and UNI-

CEF have joined forces to eliminate

MNT. This deadly disease steals the

lives of 60,000 innocent babies and

30,000 mothers each year. The effects

of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful con-

vulsions and extreme sensitivity to light

and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the

Earth by 2015, 129 million mothers

and their future babies must be immu-

nized. This requires vaccines, syringes,

safe storage, transportation, thousands

of skilled staff and more. It will take

$110 million — and the dedicated work

of UNICEF and every member of the

Kiwanis family.

In the 1990s, Kiwanis andUNICEF joined forces to tackle iodine

deficiency disorders (I.D.D.), achieving

one of the most significant global

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 withadditional lifesaving health care. The

end of this one disease means the be-

ginning of better health for so many

families.

“Kiwanis believes that no

baby or mother should have to suffer

the devastating effects of MNT,” said

Kiwanis International President Paul

Palazzolo. “Kiwanis will mobilize its

nearly 600,000 family members to be-

come tireless advocates for these chil-

dren and raise needed funds to defeat

this deadly disease.”

MNT is easily prevented by a

series of three vaccinations to women

of childbearing age, costing roughly

$1.80. The Eliminate Project will raise

$110 million over the next five years to

fill the funding gap required to provide

an estimated 387 million doses of the

vaccine.

The Eliminate Project will

deliver life saving vaccines to the most

vulnerable women and children in the

world: those in remote and difficult toreach areas; conflict zones; and with

little access to healthcare.

“With Kiwanis by our side, we

will be able to conquer maternal/

neonatal tetanus,” said U.S. Fund for

UNICEF President and Chief Execu-

tive Officer Caryl Stern. “I’ve seen how

this disease devastates families. Infants

suffer, while mothers are unable to

comfort their babies. Kiwanis is provid-

ing the final push that will protect vul-

nerable women and their newborns.”

The majority of mothersand newborns dying of MNT live

in forty underdeveloped coun-

tries located in Africa, and

Southern and East Asia. The

disease kills one baby every nine

minutes. Its effects are excruciat-

ing—tiny newborns suffer repeated,

painful convulsions and extreme setivity to light and touch.

“As a mother of two child

I have known the great joy of welco

ing a new life into this world. I cou

n’t imagine watching my child suffe

and die from a disease that is as eas

preventable as MNT is,” said Leoni

“With this new partnership betwee

Kiwanis and UNICEF, so many live

will be saved.” Not only will The El

nate Project protect women and ba

from tetanus, the project also will c

ate a path for other services, such a

clean water, nutrition and other va

cines, to reach the world’s most vul

able people.

In partnering with UNICE

Kiwanis successfully completed its f

global campaign for children to virt

ally eliminate iodine deficiency diso

ders (IDD), the leading cause of pre

ventable mental impairment. Kiwan

raised and leveraged more than $10

million, which helped change lives

103 nations. The number of households estimated to be consuming io

dized salt has jumped from less tha

percent in 1990 to more than 70 pe

cent, and the effort has been herald

as one of the most successful health

initiatives in the world.

We met up at hilltop park. For some very

strange reason it was so windy that everyone

had to be careful with their agenda sheets. We

talked about future events for the summer

along with OTC and RTC. Laura was so kind

to bring us subway sandwiches. Someone

made cookies, I think it was Janis but whoever

made them should be a baker. Everyone was

able to catch up and talk about what they did

and what they were going to do this summer.

Even though it was a meeting it felt more like

everyone was just hanging out. These summer

meetings are very lax. I think more meetings

should be like this.

Lake Hodges Cleanup

at Lake Hodges: 6/05

On June 5, 2010, the groupof 4 wandered until they found

the tent labeled “We love a

CLEAN San Diego!” They

signed waivers and then given

trash bags and trash… picker-

uppers? Pickupstix? Whatever

they were, they soon proved

useful as the group began to

wander around Lake Hodges

and found all kinds of trashawaiting them. Towards Lake

Hodges… not so much. They

made a loop around the side of

the lake, picking up trash wher-

ever they could find it and

avoiding mustard, and finally,

after an hour, made it back to

the park, where they split ways

to find more trash, some peo-

ple heading back to Hodges again, and other

ing to the community p

try their luck there. Aft

hours was done and the

was returned to a large

more trash, they conte

left.

The Key Club banquet was a fantastic way

celebrate this year in Key Club!! Exci

to celebrate my first year of commun

service with this amazing club, I m

aged to convince many of my frien

to accompany me. It started off w

some rather delicious food and sous awards and speeches that even

ally gave way to more 'personaliz

awards and more touching speech

Then all the members of D37S key c

got to bid on selected members- hoping

win a special dance. My friends and I even ga

ered our tickets and bought out favorite v

president for his girl of choice. The night was topped off w

happy dancing and key club cheers that I'll remember until n

year's banquet!!

-Lydia Chen, Torrey Pines HS

Divisional Banquet: 06/12

“If anyone has been going be-

yond the call of duty, it would be

Tyler Schultz. From the day he

grudgingly joined Key Club, he

has been outstandingly attentive

at meetings and a very valuable

asset to our club. No matter

which community service event

Tyler's at, I always seeing him do

his 110%. He's also been an en-

thusiastic recruiter, recruiting

about 7 people just this year! Fur-

thermore, Tyler was one of the

biggest contributors who led ourclub to win FIRST PLACE at the

Miracle Mile of Quarters last

May. Tyler has obviously done an

insurmountable amount of help

to improve our club, so he de-

serves the proper recognition.”

Nominated by Won-Ji Lee

If you guys ever notice a member

going above and beyond the call

of duty at your Key Club - let us

know! Email Vivian Yu :

[email protected]

Include his/her name, school,

grade level, a picture, and a para-

graph on why you think they

deserve to be the D37 South

member of the month!



1. What projects can we

contribute to through

fundraisers besides Be the

Change and PTP?We currently do not have adivisional project that you can

fundraise for, however the Dis-trict Project for the next two

years is Project SHINE

(relating to service towards the

disabled) so funds raised can becontributed towards charities

that are in line with Project

SHINE.

2. Can we make this

snacks at DCM's a perma-

nent thing? :)Definitely. :)

3. Can a person who vol-

unteers no hours still say

they are a Key Club mem-

ber for college apps?

(Not that I approve...)Technically they should not be

able to put this on their apps –

to be a member of Key Clubinternational you should turn in

dues as well as complete 50

hours of service each year. Mysuggestion would be to keep

track of who in your club hascompleted both of these re-

quirements so you can back upthe people who are actually

members when they fill outapplications. Also, to encour-

age participation, recognize the people who have complete ser-

vice and turn in dues/

applications at your meetings!

4. How do you motivate

members who don't want

to be motivated?Lead by example! Go out of your way to convince them to

attend service projects, be

friendly, and encourage their friends to be involved as well

because Key Club is more fun

with friends :)

5. How do you motivate

OFFICERS who don't want

to be motivated?Remind them of why they ran

for the position they currently

hold, of the people who ran

against them but didn’t get the job, that there are other people

more than willing to do their

work if they choose to not bemotivated. Have an officer

bonding day, do service to-

gether – once he/she under-stands the importance of what

he/she does, the motivation willcome.

6. How do you increase

spirit if members haven't

been to DCON/divisional

events/haven't gotten the

initial Key Club bug yet?Be spirited yourself and en-

courage them to go to divi-sional/regional/district events,

or have your club plan funevents for its members to get

more excited about Key Club. I

know that a lot of people don’t

understand why some of uslove Key Club so much, but if

you persevere and continue to

actively encourage them to go

to events, eventually they’llgive in :)

7. If members attended

the Kiwanis meetings, isthere any spot that you

can put that on your MRF,

or is that unnecessary?There is a box at the top left

corner of each monthly tab

where it’ll say ‘KC at Kiwanis’

– mark yes.

8. Does the La Jolla Festi-

val of the Arts count as a

Kiwanis Project, since the

Torrey Pines Kiwanis was

involved?Yes.

9. How do you feel?I FEEL GOOD. UH I FEEL

SO GOOD. I FEEL FINE – ALL OF THE TIME.

ABOOGA, ABOOGA,ABOOGA BOOGA BOOGA.

10. What can I do as a

president to help out the

division as a whole?Give me input! If you haveideas you think we could apply

to the division let me know.Also, get to know other clubs

in the division – if you haveother clubs near you, do service

together because you’ll learnfrom each other.

11. Can we create events

and suggest them as Key

Club events?I think this question means if

you can create your own ser-vice events? The answer to that

is definitely! If you can’t findany projects around the com-

munity, be proactive and makeyour own (and invite the

division to take partwhile you’re at it).

12. Hi Vivian. I hope

this helps. Have fun

this year. Oh by the

way, how on earth

did you make

this survey!? It is

cool! I would

like to

know how to make one, it

could help me in my du-

ties as bulletin editor. Aha,

I see Google docs at the

bottom.. a clue....Go to Google docs (I love

Google)! I used this nifty tuto-rial.

13. Why are you so awe-

some?Because I’m from the best divi-sion in the world :)

14. How does the Key

Club school's point systemwork and how does our

school obtain points?Most of the points from thedivisional points system come

directly from the MRFs that

your secretaries submit each

month. Some parts, such as theLTG’s bonus are not, but this is

a reason to encourage your secretary to turn in the MRF

each month! You can get pointsfor almost anything Key Club

related – each service hour thata club earns each month, dues

payment, DCM attendance alltranslate into points. For the

full list of how you can earn points and the current standings

check out the reflector or theBull Sheet.

D37S Survey Question Results2010



15. How do you feel

Vivian? Since I'm always

the little blonde child that

yells this. :)Hi Charlene! See #9

16. Can we make DCM’s

more social? Like let's ac-

tually have a little lunch

and ice breakers so that

clubs can comingle. :) It'll

help build red bull spirit.Yes! Great idea :)

17. How often should Key

Club have a fundraiser?You can have a fundraiser asoften as you like (for PTP,

DCON, other charities) butkeep in mind that the focus of

Key Club is service, notmoney.

18. I still don’t know how

to chair an event.

So...training please?How to chair an event will vary

from club to club but the basicsof the job are to keep track of

sign-ins for your club at theevent as well as writing an

event description of what oc-curred at the project, then sub-

mitting it to your secretary for the MRF. Contact your respec-

tive president to make surethough!

19. How can I show others

that I am ready for an offi-

cer role? I ran for election

office this year, but I lost

miserably. How can I win

next year? Now I am serv-

ing as an appointed offi-

cer.You already showed your club

that you are willing to serve it by simply running for the posi-

tion. Being an appointed officer

is not a bad thing! You shouldnever need a position for your ideas to be heard. I suggest that

over this next year, you reallystep up and lead by example –

go to as many events as youcan, meet the other members

and really connect with themon a personal basis, because

when elections roll around,what will really strike people is

what you’ve done to showthem why you should get the

position, not the contents of a 2-minute speech.

20. I hear that there areawards for distinguished

officers. How does that

work? How do you apply

or become eligible?Every year, the requirements

areslightly

different but gener-

ally simi-lar. The

first level

of recog-nition isOut-

standing,which

requiresyou sub-

mit achecklist

(availableon cnhkeyclub.org in Decem-

ber/January) which has require-ments that need to either be

initialed by me, your club president, advisor, or possibly

our regional advisor, then sub-mitted to the district office be-

fore DCON. The second levelis Distinguished, which in the

past required the submission of the Outstanding checklist as

well as a binder full of work that you have done on the be-

half of your club. However,this year we may be going

green and submissions may or may not be done electronically.

Keep copies of your work soyou can be prepared for either

submission type! Don’t pro-crastinate and start thinking

about what you can do to attainDistinguished status NOW. :)

Last year’s requirements aswell as a full list of possible

awards can be found here.

21. What is the best way

to get your members ex-

cited about Key Club? My

club seems to only see

Key Club as something to

put on your college appli-

cation.The best way, as always, is tolead by example. We all re-member a time when we had no

idea what Key Club was or why peo-

ple wereso excited

about it, but recall

that itwas

probablysomeone

else whocon-

vinced usto join, or

talked usinto go-

ing toFall

Rally/DCON, or the memory of a really fun Key Club event

that made us fall in love and

continue to go to events, so bethat motivator for other popleand get to know as many of

your members as possible. If there is a shy underclassman

who is working alone at anevent or sitting by himself/

herself at a meeting, offer your help and introduce yourself!

22. For treasurer would we

be remind of dates to turn

things in?Yes. Right before school be-

gins, I will be emailing individ-ual positions separately andremind them of their duties

over the school year. Regardingtreasurer duties, remember that

Key Club membership from the previous year expires on Sep-

tember 30th so DO NOTTURN IN DUES UNTIL AF-

TER SEPTEMBER 30th. Thefirst day to turn in dues is Octo-

ber 1st. This will be explainedmore in depth at OTC but if

you have any other questions before then, contact me!

23. As event coordinator Iwould always love to hear

any suggestions you may

have for our schools club,

or let us know of any ser-

vice projects we (SPHS)

can get involved in with

some other schools as

well. :)If you guys are organizing aservice project and need help, if

you guys are holding a fund-raiser, or if you guys need help

with anything, remember thatyou can let the rest of the divi-

sion know through the reflec-tor!

24. Do we all need to at-

tend the big meetings?To attain District Outstanding

or Distinguished officer status,you must attend a certain num-

ber of DCMs (undeterminedright now) but please try to

come to as many as you can!

25. For the Distinguished

Award for treasurer, how

should I keep track of the

things that I have done?

How should I document

it? Do I need proof of

completion from some-

one like a president/VP/

advisor/LTG? If so, who

and how should I get this

proof of completion?

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Can I

aim for both the Out-

standing and Distin-guished Award (just in

case my portfolio and re-

cords aren't good enough

for the higher level), or do

I have to specify which

award I aim for?



For everything you do as treas-urer, keep a record. When

members turn in dues, keeptrack of who turned in dues and

when (use a notebook or anExcel sheet). Create a club

budget and keep track of everydollar spent or made by your

club! Basically keep everythingthat you do! When you apply

for Distinguished, you are auto-matically put in the running for

Outstanding, so yes, you canapply for both. See question

#20 for more info.

26. As a treasurer, what

should I regularly contact

(or act as a liaison) you

(the LTG) for mainte-

nance of my Key Club?

(i.e. should I ask you

about dues? fundraisingtips? service events? or is

this all the job of the presi-

dent/VP?)Each club is different, but defi-

nitely keep in communicationwith me if you have ideas for

fundraisers or have questionsabout your treasurer duties.

However, some things may bespecific to only your club so

also consult your president andthe rest of your officer board! If

you ever need ideas or support,don’t hesitate to contact me. :)

27. Could you give me

any additional specifics

on being a treasurer in

addition to the following:

-Financial record keeping

-Attending service events

and DCMs (for Distin-

guished Awards)

-Collecting dues/funds

-Planning/deciding about

Key Club dues (or is this

the president/VP job?)-Fundraising (How much is

usually necessary for me

to contribute to this

area?)For financial record keeping, itis best if you keep a record

(Excel works very well for this)of everything your club spends

or saves. Your attendance of service events and DCMs

should be kept track of by your secretary and when the time

comes to apply for theseawards, your secretary can ini-

tial your service record and Ican initial your DCM atten-

dance. The method of collect-ing dues/funds at each club is

different, but you should bekeeping an official record of

who has turned in dues andwhen and handing out receipts

to those who have turned indues is a good idea as well. Be

as organized as possible! Col-

lecting dues is a collective ef-fort of the entire board but ulti-mately it is the treasurer’s re-

sponsibility to ensure that duesare turned in to international on

time. Methods will vary fromclub to club so meet with your

officer board to determine howthe collection of dues will oc-

cur (for example, applicationsand dues go to the treasurer

first, the treasurer then keepstrack of the money and records

who turned dues in, then givesthe applications to the secretary

for their files). Fundraisingshould again, be a collective

effort of the board, but it is amain responsibility of treasur-

ers (and sometimes vice presi-dents) to organized fundraisers

for the club. More informationabout your duties can be found

here.

28. What can I do to im-

prove my club and be a

distinguished club?A really great resource is the

‘Symptoms of a Weak Club”worksheet. Fill this out and see

what your club needs to improve on! See question #20 for

the requirements for Distin-guished status. However, re-

member that a crucial ingredi-ent to a club’s success is how

willing and dedicated its members and officer board are, so

get to know your members aswell as the rest of your board to

better understand how you canall work together to become

Distinguished. :)

29. How do I get my offi-

cers to be more involved?See question #5. Remind them

that they ran for the positionand their obligation to fulfill

the promises they made in their campaigns for office, but be

encouraging (but also firm), notharsh.

30. What is some adviceyou have for newly

elected presidents for Key

Club?Congratulations! Remember that you have people in your

club and in your division tosupport you. If you are feeling

overwhelmed, don’t be afraidto delegate work. Keep in mind

that you represent your cluband that you work for them, not

the other way around. There are

9 more months until the end of your term, so sit down rightnow and make a list of goals

you would like your club toachieve. Most importantly,

communicate with your offi-

cers as well as your members

because information is vital for your club’s success. J

31. Do you have any

ideas to make our club

more engaging for mem-

bers? We recognized that

there isn’t enough timeduring lunch to actually

do icebreakers >< and we

are still trying to solve the

whole "I paid dues... so



I’m a member" deal...

Since kids are NOT com-

pleting hours ON TIME or

AT ALL :( Thanks Vivian!! :)Emphasize from the beginningof the school year (and con-tinue throughout) that you must pay dues as well as complete

50 hours by the end of the year in order to be an official member of Key Club International. Iwould say recognize those whohave paid their dues and completed their hours (maybe havea benchmark each month thatyour members should be oneach month and if they meetthat, treat them to a small prizeor something). Make member-ship a bigger deal than turningin an application and $11 – maybe formally induct the

members who have paid duesat a meeting each month! :) Seequestion #3. Also, to makeyour meetings more engagingfor members, make sure thatthey are paying attention (Iknow that members who talk through a meeting are a com-mon issue at most clubs) byhaving officers shush them.Don’t have it just be one persontalking at meetings all the time

– switch it up! Be excited aboutwhat you’re saying :)

32. As a vice president,

how can I get more peo-

ple to join key club and

keep them as active

members?Go out of your way to get toknow your members! If theydon’t know anyone in the club,

the likelihood that they willstay in Key Club is very low,so go up and introduce your-self. Personally invite them toevents. A great way to get more people to join Key Club is not by focusing on asking one per-son, but by asking their wholecircle of friends – if they havefriends attending a meeting or aservice project, the more likelythey are to attend as well.

33. Is treasurer supposed

to plan fundraisers or VP?Depends on your club. Ulti-mately the treasurer should bein charge but the VP (again,depending on what duties your club has assigned him/her) canand should be involved in the process as well.

34. What is a FAST ice-

breaker we can do at a

meeting during our short

lunch break?Chubby Bunny and breakingyour club up into groups to play Human Knot are quick icebreakers.

35. How do we get our

secretary to do her joband stop complaining?See #5. Remind her that thereare other people who wantedthe position who would bemore than willing to take her job.

36. Officer responsibilities?Check outwww.cnhkeyclub.org – under the ‘Officers’ tab at the top arethe duties of each officer ingreat depth along with other

helpful resources :)
