HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hopefully everybody had a relaxing, safe

Winter Break and now is feeling recharged for the new year! This newsletter

contains a recap of December’s DCM and a projection forward to the rest of

January. Key Club accomplished a ton during 2011, but can it top 2011’s ser-

vice in 2012? You bet it can! I’m calling out everyone to take action this new

year and to do the most community service

he has ever done before. Maybe make a New

Years Resolution by saying you’ll do some-

thing small every day. It’s amazing how the

little things add up, and doing a bunch of

small tasks is much easier to accomplish than

one huge task! Set goals, and you can accomplish anything! If anybody is inter-

ested in becoming Division 42 West’s 2012-2013 LTG, look into the Candi-

date Training Conference coming up on January 14th! Good luck with finals,

and enjoy the new year! As crazy and confusing and hard high school can

seem, just remember each day is a new day!

“Year's end is neither an end

nor a beginning but a going

on, with all the wisdom that

experience can instill in us.”

Hal Borland

What a great turn-out! With people bring- ing their white elephant gifts, snacks, and even pizza, the day was set to be a good one. It began with a meeting, con-

sisting of new usuals that began at the November DCM: sitting arrangement, high-five

buddy, and introduction. A spirit practice and Fall Rally South recap were also held. Towards the end, a teambuilding workshop was held where members were showed how

important communication and teamwork is in order to complete a given task, in this case flipping the magic carpet without anyone falling off. After several minutes and

start-overs, one team was able to successfully turn it over. Great job! Following that, eve-

ryone was given half an hour of free time to hang out, eat and play games like Twister, Jenga, Candyland, and more! The free time really allowed everyone to become more

comfortable and just relax until some Christmas spirit came. So when it was over, each

person gathered around the tables once again for an activity called "My Key Club

Wish" where each attendee wrote on a piece of a paper one wish they would like. Before

each upcoming DCM, two wishes will be randomly chosen and fulfilled at the next

meeting. To top off the night, the Orcas enjoyed a magical game of White Elephant

that brought out the thieves in some of us, smiles on all of us, and a new gift to bring

home! It was definitely a wonderful last DCM to end 2011!
