Hello Division 3 South!

I hope everyone is doing well! I hope that each and every one of you

are effectively balancing your academics, extracurriculars, and

family! Remember, if you are ever experiencing any troubles;

remember that I, along with the hundreds of members of this Division,

are here to help you!

September and October was such as busy month! I hope that

everyone had a great time at our Open Mic Fundraiser. We were able

to raise $80 dollars for PTP. To those that attended RTC, I hope that you

all learned something and made lasting memories!

Duck Splash and Aids Walk were such great events! There is a recap

video produced by ERHS Bulletin Editor Kevin Qui that can be found in

the Eagle Rock Key Club Facebook and YouTube page! Remember

to check that out! In October we also had a sandwich making service

project, where members of the Division prepared over 300 sandwiches

for the homeless! They were all donated to the local Salvation Army!

Fall Rally South is just around the corner! Remember to RSVP to your

president as soon as possible! The price is $53 before the 24th and $58

after! Join the entire CNH District in the largest fundraiser for PTP!

That’s it for now! If you have any questions or concerns, or just want

someone to talk to, don't hesitate to contact me! See you all soon!

CHERRYN PARQUE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

I have gone to Fall Rally the past three years,

and will be attending this year as well. Fall Rally

has been an amazing experience for me

because it has allowed me to share my passion

for key club and get to make new friends from

outside of our division as well. The spirit rallies are

so exciting and knowing that the money all goes

to PTP makes me feel like we are making an

impact on our community.

HOW MANY YEARS HAVE

YOU GONE TO FALL RALLY

SOUTH AND WHAT HAS IT

BEEN LIKE FOR YOU?

ALDEN SANCIO SECRETARY

I have been to Fall Rally once, my sophomore

year. It was a really fun experience cheering

with all my friends and getting on the rides with

them. We were constantly asked how we felt

when we were waiting in line for the rides, and

meeting new people. I was not able to attend

my junior year but I will be sure to go this year

and have enough fun to make up for not

going.

Hey there Key Clubbers, I hope

you’re all doing well because Fall

Rally South is less than a month away!

We’ve sure had a lot of service

events and fundraisers to attend

these past few months (in which I still

encourage for photos and articles to

be sent in about) where you would

sometimes see spirit battles go on or

be asked “How do you feel?” Well

Fall Rally is the place for you to find

out why we key clubbers scream,

cheer, and overall enjoy ourselves at

any Key Club event. Hope to see you

all there!

Sincerely,

Eileen Wisco Eileen Wisco

Division News Editor

AMI PATEL FUNDRAISING COORDINATOR

I attended Fall Rally South, 3 years in a row

and plan on attending this year as well.

My most memorable experience was my

freshman year because during the spirit

session I was astonished at the size of

Division 3 and the big Obama we had.

That Fall Rally South was the beginning of

my life as a Key Clubber and it was the

first time I ever cheered my heart out. Fall

Rally South has always been an event

close to me that I await for every year. I

adore meeting Key Clubbers from other

divisions that inspire me because of their

enthusiasm and that is something iconic

because rain or shine the enthusiasm

these Key Clubbers have is what makes

Fall Rally truly special.

EILEEN WISCO NEWS EDITOR

I have been to Fall Rally for the past 2

years and plan on attending this year as

well as next year when I’m a senior. Fall

Rally has always been amazing as I get to

experience some true Key Club spirit and

get to understand the meaning as to why

we serve and why some people are so

happy to serve.

CLUB

RUSH

September 11th marked the day of John Marshall High School's first ever

Club Rush. During lunch, many clubs in our school set up their own tables

for students to visit and learn about their respective clubs. Key Club had a

great turn out having many students sign up and simply take an interest.

We printed a bunch of flyers and even made a ton of posters such as "10

Reasons Why You Should Join" and "Ask us how we feel!" Our new school

principal, Ms. Heideman, an alumni of Key Club, was the first to ask us how

we felt. The cheer definitely grabbed the attention of all the students and

other clubs at the basketball courts. It was a fun experience to basically

advertise our club publicly to the students. Seeing all the new faces

definitely got me excited for this school year.

JANINE RAYMUNDO John Marshall

The Child S.H.A.R.E. Gala was a wonderful event; I’ve volunteered for Child

S.H.A.R.E. before but this experience was unlike any other. I never really knew what

Child S.H.A.R.E. was until after the gala, I was always just there to volunteer. But I’m

glad that I did, not only did I learn some basic sales techniques but I learned

about the many foster children out there who need a home.

While working with a legion of remarkable volunteer coordinators, Magy, Eileen

and I handled the tracking of auction bids, selling bids and games at the

beginning of the program and helping the coordinators clean up and put

everything away. Upon handling these tasks, I was faced to approach many

adults who seemed intimidating at first but with a bit of persuasion and a smile

they came around.

I wouldn’t mind volunteering at another gala like this one as I learned a lot from so

many people in just one night. I can imagine what it can do for the members in

our club if they choose to attend.

ANNIKA ARAMBULO Herbert Hoover

On the 13th of September, I and other fellow

Key Clubbers got to experience the

eccentricity of Frogtown and its respective

Art Walk 2014! Not only was the scenery of

the quaint township charming, helping the

friendly community made my experience

that Saturday all the much better. Arriving at

half past noon, I got to help assemble the

glow sticks and fliers that would be sent to

the main portions of the Walk. Later, my

friend Grace and I got to walk down the LA

River Bikepath, posting up maps by the

beautiful life size cranes that schools in the LA

County had decorated. Then, other

volunteers and I went around the town and

put up street signs to direct people to the

festivities - all the while munching on delicious

homemade tacos and looking at the

beautiful works of art that local artists were

putting up! By the end of the day, it was

suffice to say that my time spent at Frogtown

was productive and positive!

LUCINE POTURYAN

Volunteering for the Frog Town Art Walk was

quite unique. It shows how much work and

effort people in charge of the activity put into

it. It also shows the how much they seem to

care and feel relief when they get volunteers.

Luckily I was one of those volunteers and had

the experience of setting up The Frog Town

Art Walk. They had us doing individual tasks in

separate group just as: Putting up maps/signs,

traffic cones, blockades, and table vendors. I

was in the group that had to put a map every

quarter mile for about a mile or two. The

maps were placed on the Los Angeles River

Bike Path to tell people where their exact

location was and how to get back to the art

walk. Once we were done with that task, we

were ordered to put signs up in street corners

to alert people what direction the art walk

was and also to the direct vehicles. We were

given free tacos after we finished our

volunteer work and the enjoyment to explore

the art walk. You can see it at two ways for

volunteering: giving back to the community

and having fun with friends; I look it at both

ways. I see that our help made this activity

occur and people that were associated with

the activity did not have to burn through

steam to get it done. They had helping hand

all around, and even though they still were

sweating, at least they weren’t sweating

buckets. At the end of the day it was great

seeing the art walk finally put together and

the supporters that followed it.

ADRIAN RODRIGUEZ

On September 13th, I volunteered at

Frogtown Artwalk 2014. Partners of Dorris, a

local elementary school organization,

reached out to our club searching for help

on their annual neighborhood artwalk. We

helped out with various tasks such as setting

up tables/chairs, arranging different

booths/artworks, and placing out traffic

cones/signs throughout the streets. This event

was one of the most intense service events I

believe I've ever participated in. Why?

Because of the blazing heat. Nevertheless,

with the limited volunteers we had, we all

beat the heat and completed our tasks. I

thought that this was a pretty fun event. I'm a

huge supporter of the arts and being able to

see all the different art pieces from paintings

to sculptures was just amazing. It was also a

great bonding with the members I serve.

JOHN MARSHALL KEY CLUB EVENT SEPTEMBER 13

As a senior, it was my first and last year in RTC. I

missed out on so much about a truer and deeper

meaning and objective of being a part of Key

Club. Going through workshops training to

become or interested in other positions such as a

Secretary. What I learned about being a secretary

is that it involves a lot of hard work and time to be

put into the job. Knowing about upcoming events

and planning it out builds leadership and

responsibility. The leadership and responsibility not

only builds as a secretary but in all positions.

Members, Cabinet, district, region, international;

they all build a pyramid and members are the bass

and the top of it. Every single person is important

and can impact a much better change with a

bonus of having fun and creating a better

community with service hours. Moreover, I would

not have known any of this without going to this

event which makes me a little bummed out I

missed out on this kind of opportunity in the past

years.

MARVIN DOLLANO Herbert Hoover

I have attended this year’s RTC (Regional

Training Conference) and I am glad that I

did! Even though I have been a Key Club

member since last year, I realized that there

were a great number of things that I did NOT

know about Key Cub! Luckily, the RTC was of

great help and there I was able to learn

about many topics in different little sessions.

There was a big variety of sessions that

helped me learn more about Key Club! Also,

During RTC, I was able to make new friends

from different divisions and “battle” against

them in SPIRIT BATTLES!!! It was a very LOUD,

CRAZY, and FUN experience! I had a very

good time at our RTC and I know for sure

that I will attend RTC the next time!

LIA KIM John Marshall

The month of September was definitely a

growing experience for Holy Family's core

officers and the new Key Club members. An

event that was a great learning experience

was the Region 7 Training Conference.

Officers who were new to their jobs, such as

President, Jordan Bautista, and Vice

President, Melra Necor, received valuable

information about their positions in Key Club,

listened to presentations, and participated

in workshops. They plan on applying the

lessons taught to them for future events

throughout the year. Following the Region 7

Training Conference, Holy Family held their

first official club meeting of the year that

consisted of returning Key Club members, as

well as several new eager freshmen that

were willing to devote their time and service

towards upcoming Key Club events. The fire

was sparked into the future of Holy Family

Key Club as core officers gave brief

explanations about what Key Club is all

about. The pledge and cheers were also

taught throughout the meeting, leading the

new members with baby steps of

excitement to get outside of their comfort

zone. This is the start for an enthusiastic and

continuously growing group of Holy Family

Key Club members for the 2014-15 year.

CHARISSE TALARO Holy Family

RTC was full of interesting, beneficial workshops. It

included "Technology SafeKEY" which explained

one of Kiwanis' newest initiatives to promote the

safe use of social media and workshops for specific

officer positions to teach them how to be the best

leader possible. But there were also two sessions of

a service project, which allowed Key Clubbers to

mingle with one another while making

bracelets. Lunch took place at 12:15, and pizza

and chips were served. At the end an epic spirit

battle, which involved plenty of dancing and

screaming, took place between the

divisions. Lunch was followed by general session,

where presentations were given on DCON, Fall

Rally, and the Thirst Project, a nonprofit which

hopes to spread the word about the global water

crisis and raise money to provide people in

developing countries with clean water. Then the

divisions all held DCMs, and when we were all

finished, we ended the day with a massive group

photo. It was great getting to meet members from

other Key Clubs and learning more about my

position!

EMILY RAMOS Herbert Hoover

On Saturday, September 27, was the Region 7

Training Conference, or RTC. At first I was very

hesitant to go because I felt like I wouldn’t

know anyone, but I decided to be brave and

go anyways. It was better than I expected.

There were lots of key clubbers, epic spirit

battles, and different workshops that teach

you all about Key Club. There were a lot of

workshops we were able to go to. It was like

school, but with much more spirit. There was

one workshop in particular that really inspired

me, which was, How to BEE a leader. They

talked about their personal experiences with

bullying or insecurities, and it related to not just

me, but a lot of us in the room. Also, I was

pretty surprised how brave people were to also

talk about their personal experiences with

people they don’t know. The presenters had

very inspirational speeches and advices that

taught us to be able to stand up for ourselves

and that no one should care what people

think because what you think about yourself is

all that matters. Overall, it was very fun and a

very productive event. I got to meet new

friends, learn more about key club, and have

an idea on who I would like to become in the

future

MARJORIE LAMBAN Benjamin Franklin

RTC! My first Region Training Conference was

awesome! It was a great experience not only

because I had tons of fun meeting new

people, but also because I learned many new

things about Key Club. We registered and

soon after our whole region was asked "Region

7, how do you feel?”, and you know what

happens after! We had various workshops that

will help our board members and our club as a

whole. I learned ways to better improve my

duty as our club treasurer and as a Key

Clubber in general. I had a general

understanding of what Key Club was about,

but at RTC I learned how important Key Club

and its members were locally and

internationally. RTC was also a constant day of

cheering! At one point the divisions began a

spirit battle, which sadly I lost part of my voice

in. Then we attended another workshop were

we learned more about "PTP," "Eliminate," and

the "Thirst Project." I learned how much of an

impact one individual can have on our world!

And After this general session we had our

DCM where we gathered up and talked

about our Club Events as a Division! And we

happily concluded the day taking a picture as

one huge Region 7 Family! I would be glad to

attend next year's RTC because it was a great

and enlightening experience! I would highly

suggest any Key Clubber to attend RTC! It is an

event you will never forget!

RUBEN ANGUIANO Benjamin Franklin

I never fail to learn something new

whenever I attend a training conference

like RTC. On September 27th, I attended

Region 7 Training Conference. Like every

year, many of the members that make

our region come together in day of

learning, bonding, and spirit battling. The

day consisted of many informative

workshops benefiting not only board

members, but members in general. Every

year that I have attended, the

experience is a bit different, and I always

end up learning something new. Not only

did I learn more about my position and

other leadership skills, I, along with the

division, participated in spirited battles.

Yes, even with our business casual attire,

many of the key clubbers still cheered

their hearts out. The thing I love about

events like these is that you get to meet

so many new people who are just like

you - servant leaders.

KEY CLUB WEEK

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3 Show your K in every way: Show people what Key Club is all about! Spread the word by

wearing Key Club gear and publicizing Key Club Week in local stores, your school Web site,

community newspapers—even on the radio. Officially announce Key Club Week in your

community with a proclamation and refer to the Key Club public relations manual to get great

tips on how to publicize Key Club in your community.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 Kudos to the Key players: Personally thank all the Key Club supporters you know—teachers,

advisors and other Key players. Write thank-you notes, host an appreciation dinner or do

something uniquely your own style to recognize the contributions of these special people.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 Connect the Ks: Key Club is the largest high school service organization in the world and is a

member of the Kiwanis family. Celebrate the entire family of Kiwanis by getting the whole gang

involved. Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or Aktion clubs

and team up for a joint service project.

Key Club performs increases the impact Key Club has on the world. Bring a friend, or two, or more

to your next Key Club meeting.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7 Your way: This is your club’s chance to do its own thing and make its mark. Pick a project, plan a

recruitment party or combine activities from the other Key Club Week days. Whatever idea you

choose, take it and run with it.
