March! You will need to submit this information in the

Welcome to the wonderful world of February, Phoenixes! You can bet your little tail feathers that this month is going to be hectic!
You have your District Convention (DCON) Registration, you have your applications for member and club recognition, you have
your Conclave where you will vote the next Lieutenant Governor to represent YOU, you have your upcoming elections for your
club’s new Key Club board, and you have the other thousand crazy events that you have to take care of. That sounds like a lot, does-
n’t it? Well, I would not worry any step of the way because I will be here to support you with all of my time, might, and whatever I
can muster up for you all!
I do have a couple reminders for you so make sure you listen up, Phoenixes!

CONCLAVE REMINDERS:
Please be sure to turn in the Conclave Registration forms I sent out
by the 10th of this month!
• If we do not meet the quorum of at least 50% of clubs, then we
will not be able to elect a Lieutenant Governor for Division 28
North. It is crucial that you send at least 2 delegates and 1 adviser
from your club to represent and vote.
• The maximum number of attendees per club is 12. It would be
appropriate to send the club’s old and new board to vote, but any-
one can attend.
• NO REGISTRATION FEE THIS YEAR! A snack bar will be pro-
vided so bring a little bit of money just in case you get hungry.
If you need me for anything concerning the
newly improved online DCON Registration, I will
most definitely be there to lend a helping hand (or
voice on the telephone)! If you need help compiling
recommendation letters or proof of attendance for
various meetings, I will provide you with those re-
cords. If you need help with the voting process during
Conclave, I will explain on-site. Every move you
make, every bond you break, and every step you take I
will be watching you and guiding you every step of the
way!
P.S. Make sure to e-mail [email protected]
for a snazzy template like mine to show your excite-
ment for DCON! (:
Scorching with service and spirit,

Past Event Recaps

During winter break on December 23rd, 2011 along with board members we attended a Kiwanis meeting.
It was a very enjoyable time with our hosting Kiwanis club because we got to bond with them and talk about ser-
vice together. Personally I learned a lot about what we can do in the community from the Kiwanis meeting. Due
to the meeting we are actually planning on doing an Easter Egg Hunting event for a children’s hospital together.
It was quite the experience; we met at Bootleggers, an Italian Restaurant, to talk about exactly what is happening
in our Key Clubs. My board and I do hope to strengthen our bond with our Kiwanis over these upcoming
months. If you want to have a more successful Key Club then going to a Kiwanis DCM or Kiwanis meeting is
highly recommended. Getting to know your hosting Kiwanis club is a big deal because they can help a lot with
funding, doing service, and even chaperoning if your club really needs it. That is what my board and I did over
the winter break! What a blast!

December Kiwanis Meeting
January Divisional Council Meeting held on January 10th, 2012 was an amazing meeting. I have never
been so fired up to go to CTC (Candidate Training Conference) or been so inspire to get ready for District
Convention for this year. DCMs are a great way to get involved in your division and even meet new people
who are just as dedicated as you are to Key Club. It was a great time hanging out with fellow D28N Key Club-
bers. It inspires me to do more each time I go to a DCM because everyone is so involved in their service and
they make me want to do service. Also, learning about what is going on in our district is always fascinating to
learn about, for example, DCON or District Convention is coming up and now I really want me and my club
to go. DCMs are a great way to build relations with your division and even your LTG, so if you and your club
have not gone to one yet COME TO THE NEXT ONE!

January DCM
Kiwanis January DCM
On January 14, 2012 me and my fellow Bulletin Editor, Brian Vu attended a Kiwanis DCM (Divisional council
meeting). It was great time learning and talking with our fellow Kiwanians. We learned about K- 1 Day and fu-
ture events going on. Surprisingly I even did a club report on my own telling the Kiwanis what is going on with
my club. Kiwanis DCM is definitely worth the time. Everyone should go to one to create a better relationship
with our Kiwanians .

CLUB SNAPSHOTS

It was the last month of 2011, but not the last month for our club to do service! For the month of December, our
club has been involved with many projects. Our major project was the St. Jude's Christmas for Kids toy drive. 22
children who are currently fighting through many treatments and disease recieved specific gifts they ask for, such as
toys, lotion, books, etc. Although we only had 2 weeks of school in December, we managed to provide all 22 chil-
dren gifts that they had wished for. We are also very happy with the outcome of this project that we sent in an article
to CNH Keyclub. December was a month filled with holiday spirit, so we didn't stop there. We were introduced to
Holiday Spectacular at Springs Preserve. We were assigned to stations, helped passed out water bottles, and played
with the little children. Our fellow president volunteered at Magical Forest as security safety when people crossed the
train tracks. Other members got involved with other schools such as Bailey Middle school and Cunningham Ele-
mentary school as office, library and tutoring volunteers. Winter Break had finally come, but we sure did not forget
that service never dies. Our club contiued volunteering during the long two week break. Many members were still
active at volunteering at Valley Hospital on the nursing floors, ICU and the emergency room. They helped deliver
food to patient's in rooms, socialized with patients, and discharged patients by pushing them in wheelchairs down to
their cars. December has been a wonderful month for East Tech Key Club. We are happy to see how active our club
still is, and we hope that the new year has many great things in store for our club.
For the month of December 2011
Advanced Technologies Academy
With the month of December cut short, we still tried to provide as many service opportunities possible and take ac-
tion to keep members' interest. First of all, this month we hosted our very first committee meetings. It was very suc-
cessive as we had many members show up to take part in giving ideas and helping us plan. With committee meet-
ings, basically each officer is the head of one of the main committees: Membership Development, Service, Public
Relations, Social/Kiwanis Relations, Fundraising, and Spirit. It was lovely being able to get some insight from our
members and expand our horizon of ideas. Furthermore, we also presented our members with the opportunity of
participating in the Santa Run and the Zappos Rock and Roll Marathon; and because winter break takes over much
of this month, we decided to get in contact with the Springs Preserve for members to partake in service over break.
Thus the Springs Preserve was having their Holiday Spectacular which gave members a whole week over winter break
of service opportunities! They were able to assist in many small duties that definitely made a difference. Furthermore
with January around the corner the board also spent this time to plan for the month, and there are many things on
the agenda already! We're all so excited as the Key Club year continues, but as of now we wished everyone a Happy
Holidays and happy services.
FUN FACT
As a division, we have completed 9978.5 hours so far!
Keep up the amazing work, Phoenixes!!
