Food Drive for the Holidays!

- Allison Acuna, Paloma Valley

On November 20th, 2014, Paloma Valley

Key Club collected the last of our

cans/boxed foods for our Food Drive. The

Food Drive helps the families in need

during the holidays, making sure people

have plenty of food to eat. Not just key

club members, but all of our school is able

to help out and donate as much as he or

she can for community service hour.

“The food drive was a success, and there

were many donations of chicken top

ramen!” - Shanie Kim, Treasurer

“We had a good turn out! I heard we

brought over a thousand pounds of

food.” - Crystal Chhan, Treasurer

Vintage Hills Christmas Party

- Clarissa Requiestas, Temecula

Valley

This November was filled with merry,

holiday filled events for Key Club. For

several years, our club has volunteered at

the Vintage Hills Clubhouse Christmas

party. At the Christmas party, children in

the neighborhood met with Santa Claus,

taking pictures with him and telling him

their Christmas wishes! Key clubbers

magically morphed into elves, assisting

Santa by handing out little goodies, as well

as helping out with food and cookie

decorating. In addition, other members

helped the event run smoothly to help with

clean up, decorating, and greeting

families and children. It was a great, family

fun event that embodied the Christmas

spirit within the club and the Vintage Hills

community.

Buddy Walk

- Cindy Gallegos, Heritage

The Buddy Walk was on November 8th spreads

awareness about Down syndrome. It helps families

nationwide by funding for costly treatments. It was a

day of remembrance and a lot of our old key club

members came to this event. During the event there

was this little girl walking with her aunt who had Down

syndrome. She was with her the whole day and they

kept playing in the booths. This was a heartwarming

moment because no matter what, the little girl stayed

with her aunt. Looking at those two, you can see how

innocent the little girl is. This made me want to cry, but

then again, I was happy the lady who had a friend.

Last year, Heritage Key Club hosted the same event.

Both were fun and amazing in their own ways, but they

also have their upside downs. Yet this doesn’t

compare to how much people came to support. It

was definitely amazing how much people came, and

how successful the Buddy Walk event was. Even

though there were some improvements to be made,

the participants didn’t because they got to help

anyone with Down syndrome. The people that came

were very respectful, which made cleaning up a little

bit easier. Coming back to this event gave me

unforgettable memories and made my day by seeing

all these happy people smile.

Let’s Work. Dance to Eliminate!

- Nampichu Nguyen, Chaparral

Last month, Temecula Valley High School hosted

the first Coalition workshop in Division 6 South. The

dance room was filled with many eager Key

Clubbers waiting to learn some awesome

routines. Stretching was key to being in the zone.

This allowed everyone to become comfortable

with their selves and loosen up around many that

they might have never met before. Three levels of

classes of various difficulties were offered for two

sessions each. Each session lasted about an hour

and a half each with each dancer being very

intrigued into the beauty of music and expression.

Finally, the workshop ended with an overall

performance with each dancer having an

opportunity to perform and see what every

individual leaned. Special thanks to our

wonderful choreographers from Articulate,

Unofficial, an Alliance Alumni and New Era that

volunteered to help towards eliminate! Division 6

South ended up rising over $385! With the help of

awesome volunteers and motivated adolescents,

we, the people, can gradually ELIMINATE

neonatal tetanus.

“Every year that I have gone to District Convention, I’ve always learned something new. Not only is

District Convention a great way to learn more about Key Club in general, but it also a great way to be

more excited about being a Key Clubber.” - D12S

“Seeing all these members all over the CNH district made me really think that everyone who’s

attending DCON is here to make a difference to their clubs when they come back. Attending DCON

will truly change your life as a Key Clubber because it shows you the true meaning of Key Club, and

will inspire you to serve for the better!” – D45

“I met a lot of spirited people that inspired me to be a better Key Clubber… I enjoyed watching all of

the LTGs and the district governor retire and the new ones installed. I’m looking forward to DCON

2015!” – D27N
