THE

AUGUST RECAP

MESSAGE FROM THE Lt.G

‘14-’15 Lieutenant Governor

JACOB TRAN


Dear Division 19 North,

I welcome you all back to school and to another exciting Key club year! We have some exciting

things planned for you for the school year and we can’t wait to roll them out. First and foremost I

want you all to give a warm welcome to our newest addition to the Division Leadership Team.

Christopher Martinez will be serving as the Spirit Task Coordinator. He will make sure that we all

have an amazing experience at Fall Rally and beyond. Rachael Wang will serve as our Member

Recognition Chair to ensure that everyone is properly recognized for the work that they do. Finally

Adam Austria will serve as our Eliminate Fundraising Chair, helping us raise more money than ever

before for Project Eliminate. Finally I want to remind all clubs that this is a very serious time. We are

just in the beginning of school and that means we are in the early stages of Dues season. I would

like to remind clubs that Dues have been increased by 50 cents making Dues a total of $11.50.

Dues are an important part of ensuring that your club stays a club. If you are in need of any assis-

tance I would be more than happy to help you. Remember that we are a family and we all want

to have an amazing year together!

Sincerely,

Division 19 North Lt. Governor Jacob Tran

JUNE/JULY RECAP

CAMS BY ANDREW TUMANG

As the summer vacation comes to an end, the CAMS Key Club is continuing

work on its last few events of the break. During the first week of July, nine CAMS

Key Clubbers had an amazingly fun time at the 2014 International Convention

at Anaheim Marriott Hotel. Our members were able to meet other Key Clubbers

from around the country while also learning about Key Club in an international

perspective. Also, members were able to participate in multiple division events

throughout the month. 18 dedicated members of our club attended the Sand-

wich Making event to help make PB&Js for the hungry. Two weeks later, CAMS

Key Clubbers had fun at the July DCM and Pie in the Face Fundraiser, where

President Andrew Tumang and Division ELIMINATE Task Coordinator Adam Aus-

tria volunteered to be pied. The day after, CAMS volunteered with Gardena

High School Key Club at the 186th Street Elementary School Beautification, and

a week after at the new Larch Ave Park’s mosaic design workshop to help set-

up, prepare food, and create mosaics!

Congratulations to andrew for designing our new division t-shirt!

El segundo Visuals & article BY paulette mumar

For the early part of the month of July, our club had a snow cone booth

at the El Segundo 4th of July fair. I would say that the booth was success-

ful. We raised more than $800 from the booth. As a club we decided to

donate the money to the ELIMINATE Project. Also, during the month of Ju-

ly, our division had a sandwich making day service project available to all

of the clubs; some of our members were able to go, but most were una-

vailable. At the end of the month, we had our DCM at Alondra Park, and

our division board also held a pie-in-the-face fundraiser for the eliminate

project. Our division raised $180 from the fundraiser.

Gardena article BY TOAN TRAN

Our summer break is coming up to a wrap and we are still doing our best to

put in all the service we can for our community. In this month, we started off with a

help at the Redondo Beach 5k run known as the Village Runner where we helped

runners sign in and register for the run as well as serving water to the runners. We

worked vigorously with 186th St. School Elementary and the Nakaoka Center. A lot

of our events came from these two places. Whether we were cleaning up the gar-

den and field of 186th St. Elementary to serving dinner to guests at the Nakaoka

Center, we were there to give a helping hand. We also had our monthly board

meeting where we discussed plans to fundraise and recruit members for the incom-

ing year. After a month of preparation, we attended a Kiwanis meeting where I

made the board learn how a Kiwanis meeting was ran. Then a week after, we had a

fundraiser at the Kiwanis meeting called "Kiwanis Take Over" where Key Clubbers run

the meeting and use the "fine system and happy dollar system" to receive donations

from the Kiwanis member. We fundraised $213 at that event. A portion will be

planned to go towards ELIMINATE. I wish everyone a happy summer and a welcome

back to school for those who are coming back on August 12th!!

HMSA article BY KRISTINE LOCSIN

Looking back at our calendar, the month of July was filled with a variety of volunteering

events and an exciting fundraising event. It is difficult to have enough people to volunteer

considering that many members have summer plans. But seeing the improvement from last

month, July was a satisfactory turn and showed potential for the club. We started the

month of July with a board meeting, and the officers and I are excited with the plans we

made. HMSA Key Club members, expect to see some (exciting) changes and events.

Even though the summer heat was blazing, many members from each club help

make PB&J sandwiches. With the amount of sandwiches given out, it is great to be part of

something as simple as making sandwiches to help those in need. Every year, the city of

Hawthorne with our Kiwanis family create events for the community. This month, members

volunteered for the 4th Annual Good Neighbors Day. Before the day of the fair, five mem-

bers and other students from Hawthorne High School served dinner to the exclusive mem-

bers of the city, many of whom were Chris Montez and families of those who influenced

the city. The next day, members helped set-up for the fair. Pie in the Face fundraiser for

Project Eliminate was very successful and is one of the exciting events I look forward to as

president. As summer closes in, D19N is doing really well, and I can’t wait to see what the

rest of our term holds. Good job, Pirate Penguins!

KING DREW article BY CARLOS BELTRAN

For the month of July, our events (July 30th and July 31st) were located at the St.

Francis Center; it offered breakfast and lunch for the homeless, as well as for under-

privileged families and individuals. The second activity was considered "pantry duty."

Our volunteers were responsible for setting tables, preparing serving dishes, main-

taining a clean environment and giving off a good vibe. This section of the event

lasted from 7:30 to 9:30 A.M. After that we proceeded to pantry duty, where we

sorted out foods and produce for a grocery-styled/ food giveaway. This lasted until

about 12:30 P.M., when our volunteers went home. The St. Francis Center and its ac-

tivities are one of King Drew's staple events.

DA Vinci VISUAL AND ARTICLE By MALEKO BRAVO

During the month of July, our club has done more events compared to pre-

vious months. Right before the month started, Maleko B. and Christian C.

helped create goodie bags for the Village Runner 4k run in Redondo

Beach. They both helped create goodie bags with other fellow Pirate Pen-

guins. Although that was preparation for the run, Christian C. still made it to

the event on July 4, helping support the runners by giving them their snacks

and water. In the middle of the month, the division board held a presidents

and vice presidents meeting for updates on what is currently happening in

the division as well as what will be happening in our division. The board has

also been working together to get ready for the school year because we

start school in a couple of weeks!

HAWTHORNE By MARCY GARCIA

For the month of July we had no events since most members were out of town and people are traveling out of

state. I have been planning for this upcoming year, thinking of ways to let people know what Key Club is really

about. I’m just getting ready for this upcoming year. I’m nervous but excited; I am ready to give it my all. I’ve

learned so much this summer about Key Club, and I want to give all the information to my members, so they

know that they are making a difference with every helping hand they lend.

LAWNDALE By MARITZA SANCHEZ

For the last two months the board of Lawndale Key Club, including myself, has decided not to organize any

service events because of our low member attendance. However, we have made many plans on how to im-

prove our club. Overall, we have come up with a few strategies to recruit new members and how to make the

club meeting more appealing to the members. Also, we plan to continue to attend DCMs.

RECOGNITION

Member Spotlight


CAMS: ADAM AUSTRIA Submitted BY JAMES RASMUSSEN

In the months since school let out, few key club members have been as

active as Adam Austria. He has attended almost every summer event,

including the much anticipated International Convention in Anaheim. It

was this event that kindled the key club fire deep with Adam’s belly,

and it this inner fire that rages on today and motivates Adam to serve

the community and the world. At the exciting Color Run, Adam served

water to thirsty runners in the heat of the blazing sun, and at the action-

packed Sandwich Making event, Adam took the peanut butter, jelly,

and bread, and… set them aside. He made cards for the homeless in-

stead. Adam also hopes to increase his involvement in Division 19

North’s business by serving as our Project Eliminate Fundraising Chair.

Yes, things are looking up for Adam as he goes into his sophomore year

as a key clubber, and it is his hard work and motivation that earns him

his recognition as CAMS Key Club’s Member of the Month.

The member of the month for September is David Lopez.

He is constantly bringing his great energy to meetings. He

always tries to voice his concerns about the club and bet-

ters the club any way he can. He is also our loving officer

who was available to be pied in the face for the July

DCM. Thank you for being a part of the club, David!

EL SEGUNDO: RYAN LIM Submitted BY Maggie mumar

El Segundo's Key Club member of the month is Ryan Lim. He is

one of our devoted members who constantly shows that he is

reliable. On each of our events, he is always present and does

his best to help out and reach out to whomever might need

help. He is kind, sweet and an intelligent individual, who has

committed many hours to Key Club. Because of his hard working

personality, he has proven that he is loyal to Key Club. El Segun-

do's Key Club is anticipating great things from Ryan this upcom-

ing year.

Anna Nguyen is Gardena High School’s Key Club member of the

month for June. She had attended all of the events; showing

compassion, dedication, and spirit. Her positive attitude lightens

up the surrounding environment and she has been very active

within our community. Not only does she gets business done, but

also she can be fun as well. As a Key Clubber, her spirit is growing

and it is evident that her love for Key Club is growing as well.

Gardena: ANNA NGUYEN Submitted BY Vivian duong


HMSA: DANIEL ARIAS Submitted BY CASSANDRA CERVANTES

While other students are out sun bathing and procrastinating on

their summer homework, our MOTM Daniel Arias has been help-

ing the community. Daniel has participated in the PB&J Sand-

wich making, the DCM and donated money to ELIMINATE with

pie in the face. But he didn’t just volunteer this month. During the

school year, he has to juggle with his baseball team, school work

and Key Club. However, he is always able to handle it. Over the

years he has been in Key Club, he is a great member and we

are happy to make him the August MOTM.

For the month of July, Desiree Hernandez is our member of the

month. Desiree was an outstanding member; summer did not

stop her from going to the events we held. Although we weren't

able to hold many events, she attended all of them no matter

how early they were. She always showed up with a smile on her

face and was always willing to help.

Kiwanis International, along with UNICEF,

have joined forces and found the ELIMINATE

Project. This is a global campaign to help

eliminate maternal/neonatal tetanus. The

goal of this campaign is to raise $110 million

for this project.

What is MNT? MNT stands for maternal/neonatal tetanus. When a moth-

er’s umbilical cord is cut and exposed to tetanus spores in

the soil, it gets infected. The effects of MNT are excruciat-

ing—tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions

and extreme sensitivity to light and touch. Mothers, too

face lethal conditions, which not only affects her chances

of living, but also her future babies.

Pediatric trauma program What is PTP?

Pediatric Trauma, also known as unintentional injury, is the

leading cause of death among children ages 14 and under

in the U.S. Injury causes deaths of about 15 children per day.

How can we help? We can support PTP in multiple ways. One of the major

events whose profit goes toward PTP is Fall Rally! In ad-

dition. The mission of PTP is to develop local projects,

which will reduce the number of children in our district

who are killed or injured by accidents. There is an array

of fundraising ideas and organizations we can take part

in. In addition, we can host workshops/presentations to

inform members about PTP. For more information, see

the PTP Brochure in the CNH site.

DIVISION GOALS $5 , 000 for PTP
