About this picture:
All your Region 5 Officers!
We had a total of about 320 members at our October DCM. Let’s
thank Clark for being such a great host. I cannot be more proud of
you guys. Thanks for bringing in new members and showing them
what Key Club has to offer. Let’s keep this up! We should, as
individuals, engage in as many service projects as we can. We should
be striving, as clubs, to make an impact in our home school, and
community. We should, as a division, share ideas amongst each other
and unite as a team. This time of year may be hectic and stressful for
some of us, but we are still here for each other. Whether you busy
working on school work or other extracurricular activities, remember
to prioritize. There may be times when you feel down and inefficient,
but it’s okay.. Everyone has those times. Work hard, but also find
time to relax. This year may be busy for you, but try your best
enjoying it. Please go over these important updates and contact me if
you have any comments, questions, or concerns.

Breast Cancer Walk
There was no better way than welcoming October by raising awareness and money to fight breast cancer. This
year, the American Cancer Society had the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 1, 2011. I
had the opportunity to attend this walk and be a part of a significant organization. As a member of the
American Cancer Society, I recommend everyone to attend as many walks possible, to really make an impact on
other people’s lives. At the walk, the atmosphere was very festive. Many men, women, children, and even pets
came out to support loved ones enduring the battle with cancer, celebrate the recovering journey of the
survivors, and to commemorate those who have passed because of the disease. It was a fun, eye-opening
experience! Being a part of a life-changing event made me feel valuable to my community and the world. It
made me feel like I could actually make a BIG difference. With every stride, I knew I was saving a mom, an
aunt, or even a grandma. I created a world with more birthdays.

Southwest CTA
Las Vegas Greek Food Festival
During the weekend of September 23 through September 26 Southwest CTA Key Club members
had a chance to volunteer at the 39th Annual Las Vegas Greek Food Festival. The festival included:
numerous food vendors, shopping booths, live entertainment such as the live band, The
Olympians, and cultural performances from Hrisi Thisavri, a youth Greek folk dance of St John the
Baptist and Stavrofoi, an adult Greek folk dance of St. John the Baptist, and of course, activities for
the kids. At least 50 of our members volunteered for this great event, and each and every one of
them had a great time doing so. One of our members, Ryan Lopez, assisted a chef in one of the
vendors in making the Greek Fries. Another member, Ricardo Reyes helped out on one of the jump
houses for the kids to insure kids safety, and referee a game in one of the jump houses. Other
members worked the buffet line, and some maintained the cleanliness of the venue itself. After all
their work was done, the volunteers were rewarded with a free dinner and enjoy the rest of the night.
This event gave our members an opportunity to appreciate other cultures and gave new members an
idea of giving back to the community. This was a great jump start to our Key Club year!

Gift of Giving Hey my fellow Key Clubbers! So an interesting question came to me the other day by someone
and I thought I should share it with you guys! The question was “What was your most memorable
Key Club Event?” Well, my most memorable event would probably be the Child Focus sponsored
event called “The Gift of Giving” which happened during the winter holidays of 2010.
The Gift of Giving occurred at the Springs Preserve of Las Vegas. This event was the most
memorable because this event was all about giving the gift of joy to children in foster care. I love this
event the most because these foster children got to experience winter holidays just like how regular
children go to do with their family. I loved seeing these children smiling, and it gave me a warm
feeling of happiness seeing them happy.
We basically wrapped up gifts, set up decorations, and helped these kids find their very own
Christmas gifts, and that just made me very glad to see this wonderful event. What I learned from
this event was the true meaning of the holidays, which was even though whatever situation you are
in that may bring you down, you still deserve the best Christmas you will ever have. So that is why I
loved that event, and hopefully when Child Focus has this event again, I know that I am ready to
help with them with this.
