Hello Supervillains!

I hope you had an amazing time this month. We have so much going on! In October we had

Region Training Conference, Fall Rally North, fundraisers, and so much more! I hope you spread

all the information from RTC to your clubs and your community. All of the division lieutenant

governors worked very hard to put on this training conference for all of you and we hope you

enjoy every aspect of it!

Fall Rally North? Whoa! I hope we have that spirit when it comes that time. It's going to be at Six

Flags Discovery Kingdom this year! How crazy is that!? Make sure you have a ride with an advisor!

If you didn't buy tickets yet, you can still get them at the door for $35! Make sure an advisor is with

you. HAVE FUN!

Keep on fundraising! Just because Fall Rally North will be over doesn't mean our service and

fundraising stop! Keep going!! :) I encourage you all to fundraise for the Eliminate Project as well!

Spread the knowledge of Project Shine and look forward to our new district project in April @ our

66th annual California-Nevada-Hawaii District Convention in Santa Clara, California on April 13-

15th, 2012!

Sincerely,

Tianna Nguy

Division 12 South Lieutenant Governor

Hey Super Villains,

3 How Do You Feel?

:)

We love our LTG <3

Tianna is an amazing lieutenant governor

because she takes an exceptional

amount of pride in her work. She shows

dedication to every task she takes on

and does it all with a great attitude.

--- Matt Malone ---

..

Well first of all she's a great person. She is a leader.

She is very responsible. She gets her stuff done. She is

passionate in whatever she does. She is so down to

Earth. She is open-minded always down to hear

ideas from others. She is amazing. She is a great LTG.

--- Daniel Quach ---

Tianna Nguy

D12S LTG

What makes Tianna a great LTG, is that

she actually takes her own time to get to

know us regular key club members and

find events that intrigue us yet at the

same time, serves the community.

--- Jerimy Macy ---

Andrew Hill : Andrew Hill had their Club Day on Sept. 21. They attended a Liver Life Walk on the

24th of Sept and the Rock-N’-Roll Marathon at their school on Oct. 2. There was also the Pumpkin

in the Park event on the 8th. They also helped out at Christmas in the Park on the 8th as well, and a

Step Out: Walk for Diabetes event on the 9th.

Evergreen: Evergreen has over ONE HUNDRED members! All our hard work advertising has paid

off :) We had lots of fun at RTC on the 8th and 9th. We had our first, two, successful club meetings

this month. We were really happy with how many people showed up. Also, over 50 people will be

going to FRN this year!!!

Gunderson: Gunderson worked the San Jose Rock 'n' Roll Marathon. We did the registration

aspect, and so many people participated in this event! 18 people went from Gunderson, and

everyone gave 100% at this service event. Our Bulletin Editor is also working on our club newsletter

for this month, so check it out! For RTC, we managed to fill all 14 slots, and had a good ratio of

upper & underclassman.

Leland: Leland has been collecting dues and membership forms. We have recently done the

William’s Walk-a-thon. We are also in the process of planning for November DCM, which will be

hosted at San Jose Skate, Disney-themed!

Oak Grove: Oak Grove worked at their school’s Rock-N’-Roll ½ Marathon on the 2nd. Also, on

the 7th, we attended Hayes Elementary School’s Carnival. The next Saturday, we joined the

Alzheimer’s Walk on the 15th. We’ve also started a little project where we water plants for school

every Monday. Lastly, we just ended our representative interviews.

Care for more?

Pioneer: Pioneer helped supervise the kids at the Simond’s Walk-To-Fame on October 1st. We

also helped raise awareness for Breast Cancer this month by putting up posters and literally

making plazas accessorized with PINK! We also did a Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes in

Downtown, helping with set up and clean up and cheering on the walkers, from the 8th to the

9th . Then, on the 15th, we also helped the work party for challenged youths, along with Willow

Glen Key Club. Also, we had 14 people from our school going to RTC. We also started collecting

membership forms and dues, and so far, we have gotten many! Our FRN money was also

turned in about two weeks ago.

Santa Teresa: Some exciting news is that ST has been receiving multiple registration forms and

that means we have been thriving with members! It’s amazing to see how many people have

the time of day to come and see what Key Club has to offer. We just came out of RTC and for

some of us our first time, for others their second , third or even fourth time, but none the less, we

all had an amazing time thanks you the fabulous RTC chair; our very own TIANNA NGUY. We

have over 20 people signed up to go to FRN from our school and we are anticipating trick or

treating for UNICEF this year. We have chosen our freshman representative which is Colleen

Manh. We also found out that one of our Executive Board member is having a little thirst to run

for LTG this upcoming conclave! Here is to the upcoming month!

Silver Creek: Upcoming, we have a car wash on Sunday, October 16 at the bus loop in Silver

Creek High School. The car wash will help raise money for PTP. For events, we have Light the

Night, Turkey Trot, and the Walk to End Alzheimer's. We have also started handing out Trick or

Treat for Unicef boxes to our members; however, so many wanted to participate that we

completely ran out of boxes the first time we started giving them out. x) The other officers and I

are looking forward to getting many filled boxes back and devoting a day where we will only

count up how much our members were able to collect for a great cause.

Willow Glen: This month, Willow Glen helped out with the Kiwanis club by selling food (BBQ) at

our school football games. We also helped out with the work party for the challenged youths on

the Cupertino Foothills on the 15th with Pioneer. We had 11 people going to RTC as well! We are

currently in the process of collecting membership dues. Our pre-orders for FRN were due on the

4th, but many others are planning to show up at the door entrance too.

“Regional Training

Conference (RTC) was an

impressive 2 day training

course. It taught both

members and officers of key

clubs from all around

Northern California about the

causes that key clubs helps

volunteer for and raise money

for. One of these programs is

the Eliminate Project. This

program helps raise money to

“eliminate maternal and

neonatal tetanus.” Another

program that presented was

the Beads of Courage

Program. This program

rewards children who have

severe illnesses with beads to

represent the various

treatment milestones.”

- Matt Malone

“This was my second time at RTC and i

had even more fun than last year. I was

so happy to make new friends and I

loved my PIxie group! They were the

best!”

- Audrey Lau

The workshops were helpful and gave really

good tips on leadership. It was good to

learn about the different agencies and how

we can impact our community; they gave

really cool service options.

- Sarah Lin

RTC was an amazing experience! This

year was the first year I've been to

RTC and I regret not bring able to go

before. Everyone there was really

friendly and spirited. The workshops

are great, I came home with much

knowledge about service, fundraisers,

projects, etc. I LOVED IT!

- Vivian Nguyen

My last RTC will definitely be one to

remember. All of the spots were filled up,

and everyone had a great time! I got to

bond with a lot of the underclassman,

meet many new people, and just overall

had an amazing experience. The

workshops were really informative, as well

as the speakers, and it just motivates me to

continue to grow my home club. It was

nice seeing a lot of our division there, and

just everyone having a good time. See you

all at FRN bring your spirit! [:

- Tia Lee

Club Reports

Gunderson :

Gunderson has continued to grow in both membership & participation. We are close to

doubling our membership from last year, & we know we can accomplish this. A variety of

different members, not just the same ones over & over again, go to the various service projects

that we offer. It's great to see that they want to serve, not just for the hours. Leaders are

starting to emerge within our club, which is one of the goals for the year. Alycia McGeever, a

sophomore, was appointed as our Historian, & we will be submitting a scrapbook for DCON.

Also, Jasmine Johal, a freshman, is our new Freshman Representative.

I'm hoping the goals will be reached by the end of my term, and watching leaders grow for

our club makes me know that the future is bright for Gunderson Key Club. Hope all of the clubs

in our division are doing well. I'll see all of you & our divisional spirit at FRN!

Silver Creek : This month, Silver Creek Key Club volunteered at the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in Downtown

San Jose. Even though it was the day right after the SAT, we had a huge turnout, allowing us

officers to get to know more of our members. We also volunteered at Pumpkins in the Park and

the Walk to Stop Diabetes. Those two events were on the same day as the Regional Training

Conference, which one member and three officers attended. RTC was a great experience for

all the attendees who brought back amazing stories to tell their friends who regretted not

going this year but will next year. In addition to all of these events, we started selling Livestrong

bands to spread cancer awareness. 50% of the proceeds will actually go towards research for

a cure for cancer.

Oak Grove :

Oak Grove had finished the process of representative interviews, and we will reveal our best

representations of this job as soon as possible. In the past month, we have been occupied with

the Rock n’ Roll Marathon, to the Hayes Elementary Carnival, and then to the Alzheimer’s

Walk. A lot of people showed up, and I was really satisfied with the big success. We are also

looking forward to Light the Night on the 22nd and the Halloween Festival at our school on the

31st. I can already feel the spooks coming! :)

Also, every Monday, we have started this project where we will be watering our school’s

plants. I hope Oak Grove Key Club continues to thrive and make our wonderful LTG proud! :D

Club Reports (Continued)

Santa Teresa :

Our club has had an exciting month and anticipating the following! We have done our

monthly Julian Street Inn, which is feeding the homeless. It's an amazing warm feeling when

they clap for you at the end and you realize that you've really made a difference in these

people's life. We also went to Rock& Roll marathon. I have never seen so many people wake

up before the sun would to go and help out a special occasion like this marathon. We also

have been having a lot of fun teaming up with Pioneer High School ad finishing up our summer

with a carwash to raise money for PTP. Just working as a team really shows how much time Key

Club is willing to do to make a difference.

Willow Glen :

Hello! I'm Tiffany, VP of WGHS Key Club. For the month of October, we had 11 people going to

RTC and we all had a blast! It was one of the best experiences and we learned a lot. We have

also been helping the Kiwanis club sell food/BBQ at our school football games. Our next

community service opportunity is gardening/cleaning at a camp for challenged youth in

Cupertino Foothills. We are also planning our next fundraiser so stay tuned for the updates!

Andrew Hill :

In the month of October, Andrew Hill Key Club has gone to an event every week, even

sometimes two. The members are so spirited and enthusiastic about volunteering that the

event coordinators had to unfortunately limit the amount of people that could come to the

events because we had so many volunteers just from our club alone. Our first event was the

Liver Life Walk. Over 50 members came and we did various jobs such as volunteer sign-in,

helping food and other miscellaneous booths, and cheering. Our second event was the

popular Rock N’ Roll Marathon. We helped set up, direct the participants, and give out medals

and water. Our third and fourth events were the Christmas in the Park Preparation and

Pumpkins in the Park. These events were on the same day at the same time so we split up

officers to lead the events. At Pumpkins in the Park was a small a pumpkin festival for little

children so we mainly set up tents and booths which really helped the event coordinators. At

Christmas in the Park, we cleaned up the displays in order to prepare for Christmas in the Park

2011. Our most recent event was Step Out: Walk for Diabetes. For this event, volunteers mainly

worked at the water stations and rest stops, food, information, and other miscellaneous

booths. So far, this year has been a great beginning and we hope Key Club will continue to be

a success.

Evergreen :

So this month we attended RTC, and held our first two meetings at school. We have 50+

people attending FRN, and we got over a hundred members volunteering for turkey trot!

Club Reports (Continued)

Leland :

October has been a pretty wild month so far. Our board and members had fun at RTC and are

excited to using the new info and tips that we learned! In terms of service projects, we have a

whole bunch of Halloween event at elementary schools coming up soon, and we recently

participated in the William's Walk-a-Thon/Health Fair. Our project coordinators have also

nabbed spots at other projects for future months, like Fantasy of Lights and Christmas in the

Park. Our board is still planning the November DCM, which will be hosted, as usual, at San Jose

Skate. Also, it seems that our club will most likely be able to attend FRN after all!

o

Pioneer :

Hello, fellow Villains! This month, we have been engaging in various activities. In the beginning,

we helped out with the Simond’s Walk-a-thon and Paint the Town Pink event to help raise

awareness for Breast Cancer. Both events were incredibly fun and successful! We also did the

Diabetes Walk in Downtown, the day we had RTC. Speaking of RTC, 14 people from our home

club attended RTC. Yay! Everyone said that they really enjoyed their time there and that it was

money well-spent. We’ve also been collecting membership dues. We want to get them in as

soon as possible. Also, we had our pre-order FRN dues turned in about two weeks ago. Many

people bought the spirit gear, which is great because then we can be all SPIRITED. At the

same time, we have just designed our school club shirts and sweaters. We’re extremely excited

to order them and then wear them around school! :3 Along with that, we also started our point

system. Team Rockets! Just recently, our lovely Spirit Chair, Jakin, made a tumblr page where

we will be updating all our events and pictures. Lastly, we made a website where you can sign

up for events online, so it would be convenient for all of us. I’m super duper proud of Key Club

and our accomplishments. We are SO FLY…because we’re Villains!
