The Ready Yeti Division 23 May 2013

The Official Newsletter of D23

Hello Fellow Yetis, My name is Mickey Rosal, and I am the newest

Lieutenant Governor for Division 23!

I go to Reed High School in Sparks, I am studying

Japanese, and my favorite Pokemon is Mudkip and Chi-

korita. I am really excited to serve you all as the LTG,

because I know we will have a great year. I have met

most of my officers, and let me say I am really happy

knowing I get to work with an amazing group of indi-

viduals.

As the biggest division in all of the Cali-Nev-Ha

District, I know it will not be easy, but I am confident

we will succeed and be the division to watch for. I am

also confident we will win every award out there; which

is a lot!

My plan this year is to personally visit each club

and make sure that all 11 clubs are constantly updated

and included in everything we do. I also want to

strengthen the bond between clubs and turn us into a

strong group as a whole. I also want us all to go to Six

Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles with our Division

sister, Division 45, to celebrate a great year.

Thanks for reading and thank you for being part of

our team. I will work my hardest and make sure this is

the best Key Club year anyone has ever had.

Past Events

April DCM/ Manzanita Park Clean-up

Hundreds of Kiwanis members (Key Club,

Circle K, Kiwanis, etc) swarmed to Manzanita

Park to give it the face lift it deserved. We did

everything from painting benches to pulling

weeds, raking leaves to laying down mulch. It

was anything but easy work, but we got the job

done and had fun doing it!

After the clean-up we were all treated to

a BBQ lunch consisting of burgers and hotdogs,

refreshing drinks, and Mickey’s cakepops!! The

cakepops helped beat the fatigue and gave us

the energy to continue.

Mickey’s first official DCM as LTG was a lot

of fun and it definitely helped bring our clubs

closer together. He handed out awards to

deserving clubs and kept everyone up-to-date

while discussing past and upcoming events for

Division 23. The ice breakers during the DCM

had us laughing for days! We played “Honey I

Love You,” “Your life in 30 seconds,” and many

more. Seeing the different personality of our di-

vision all laugh and come closer was definitely a

heart warming experience.

What is a DCM?

A DCM, or Division Council Meeting, is a monthly

meeting where all the clubs in our division come to-

gether to talk about past and upcoming events. We also

use this time to bond and become closer, and to also

Kiwanis Family Fun Fiesta

. The D23 Key Clubs in Reno/Sparks helped

the D23 Kiwanis clubs hold their annual Kiwanis

Family Fun Fiesta at Paradise park last April 27th.

Each Key Club helped run and operate their

own game for the kids to enjoy.

This free event brought hundreds of Kids to

Paradise park so they could play in carnival

style games and win awesome prizes and stick-

ers. If the kid earned 25 stickers they could ex-

change their sticker card for the big prize!

Hug High School worked the bean bag

toss, Wooster had the block throw, Reed did the

Hula Hoop Toss. North Valleys brought their

bucket toss game, and Sparks helped with the

pinwheels. Our Yeti made a guest appearance

at this event, along with Clifford the-big-red-

dog, and a pony.

Thank you to everyone who participated

in this event, it was definitely a fun one and it is

going in the scrapbook for sure.

April 27, 2013

May Banquet/ DCM

To commemorate our amazing 2012-2013 Key

Club Officers, Mickey and Bunny planned a great ban-

quet to end the year with a bang., and to start the next one

running. We played fun games, ate great food, and made

new friends!

The Circle K of UNR were are special guest speak-

ers at our DCM. They did a very informative presentation

about What is Circle K. They all stayed for a portion of

the banquet and even played the Key Club Trivia game.

May 4th, 2013

The banquet was potluck style and let me say

we were up to our necks in food. Thank you everyone

who brought food! Congrats to team McSpanx for

winning the Key Club Trivia contest with way over

300 points!!

Far but Close:

The clubs in our division who are miles apart, but still

continue to be part of our family

Club of the Month: March

Albert Lowry Key Club

Distance is not an excuse for

this amazing club, located in the city of

Winnemucca, which is 166 miles away, the Lowry High

School Key Club proves that you do not need to be

physically close to do amazing amounts of service with

their division.

This club is club of the month for March because

they have accumulated the most volunteer hours per

member out of all 11 clubs in our division! This goes to

show that they are capable of finding their own events in

their community. They have also proved to be amazing

communicators by constantly keeping me updated with

their weekly club activities. Congratulations Lowry Key

Club! Please keep up the good work

Club of the Month: April

Procter Hug High School

As One of the most active

clubs Hug High School has proved their willing-

ness to serve their division. They literally attended

every past division event from February to May.

Their officers have the most persuasive personalities,

because they manage to bring huge amounts of

members to every event they attend. On top of

that their amazing secretary, Tania Gonzales, has

continuously turned in their MRF first, beating all ten

other clubs. This club is definitely one to watch for

and could easily be one of the few Diamond Distin-

guished Clubs in all of the CNH District!!

Thank you for your clubs amazing devotion to

our division! Please keep up the awesomeness!

Member of the Month: April

Magali Aquino-Ramirez

One of the most

active members in

our division. Magali

not only has been to

EVERY division event in

March, April, and May,

she is always early to

Every event. She is constantly getting on my case about why I am not there

before her. She makes me want to work harder and eventually hopefully

be at an event before her. Her dedication to our division is what boosted

her to becoming this month’s member of the month. Keep up the good

work! And watch yourself, I’m going to beat you one day!

Upcoming Events

Renown PTP Tour June 7th

Reno is blessed to have one the 6 hospitals in all of California, Nevada,

and Hawaii, that has its very own Pediatric Trauma Prevention (PTP) Center.

Renown is that hospital, and we are all going to take a tour of its incredible

facilities. The tour will include, but is not limited to, the Children’s Medical

Wing, the birthing areas, the baby environment simulator rooms, and of

course the PTP Center.

As you know we fundraise every year for PTP, it is one thing to donate,

but it is another thing to see where are funds go. I believe that by seeing

where are hard earned money goes will motivate us into working even

harder to raise more money.

This is a FREE tour and I am very happy D23 is blessed with such an

amazing opportunity like this.

Reno Relay for Life

June 22-23 @Reno High School

This 24-hour event (11AM to

member for years to come. This re-

lay event is to recognize all of the

cancer survivors in our community.

This year Division 23 is signing

up and forming a team. This won-

derful event will leave you breath-

less when you see the beautiful

candlelight visuals and great show

of support from everyone involved.

Every hour the themes

change, it could be anything from

Hawaiian Luau to the 1950’s, Pirates

to Fairy Tales, if it can be worn as a

costume it is probably a theme.

They also have fun hourly activities

like Zumba, bingo, scavenger hunts,

and so much more. So get with your

clubs and sign up now!
