Message from the LTG

Greeting Trojans!!!!

How’s everyone’s summer?? I hope it is full of service

and Key Club!!! Although there is one month left before

school begins, there is still time to plan service projects

and fundraisers! In addition, keep up with regular division

updates and upcoming division events! There are tons of

volunteer opportunities for you to get involved. Ask your

officers for the division updates and invite others to these

events. And do not forget to join our Facebook group and

follow the division Twitter page for the updates also.

Although school is about to begin…… that means

everyone should be preparing for all the amazing Key Club

events coming up. It will be filled with events such as

Pasadena, RTC, Fall Rally, and much more. Especially for Fall

Rally, all clubs should be planning some sort of fundraising

event for PTP (Pediatric Trauma Program) so that Division

05 can show off all the money that we raised! Be active,

consistently be active, and encourage others to be active! I

hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer and look

forward to an exciting year!

Fighting for a cause,

Eugene Park

McLANE HIGH

A few members of Mclane Key Club had the honor of attending Clovis North’s PTP Car wash. PTP

is pediatric trauma prevention and it was a great experience to be a part of. At the car wash, we were

able to meet many new members from other schools. It was nice to see many different schools come

together and work as one. At the car wash Mclane helped wash cars and also helped advertising the car

wash by waving our signs around. We hope to be a

part of other service events that are held at other schools.

CLOVIS WEST HIGH

During the month of July, The Clovis West Key Club has been working hard to begin raising funds for the

school year. In order to do this, members came out to help wash cars. The members were highly supportive of

the car washes, and helped provide supplies like towels, sponges, soap, and buckets. Despite the heat that

persisted throughout each and every carwash, the clubbers continued to work hard at both washing cars

thoroughly and holding signs to attract customers.

Overall, the carwash fundraisers have raised over one hundred dollars for the club. This money will contribute to

supporting the club, and lowering certain fees for members. More carwashes will be held throughout the

rest of the summer, and hopefully will continue to be a huge success! Submitted by: Claire Carlson, Clovis West Key Club Bulletin Editor

Runners and walkers from all over the Central Valley came out to celebrate America’s Independence Day by participating in

the Freedom Run. The Freedom Run gives back to the community by funding Tri-This Triathlon Club (a network that promotes health,

fitness, and knowledge for the youth), Candle lighters (an organization that provides support, education, and advocacy for

patients and families dealing with childhood cancer), and Sierra Challenge Express Scholarship Fund (a scholarship that awards five

cross country or track Runners enrolled in a local college). Clovis

of July.

BUCHANAN HIGH

On July 14, 2012, Buchanan Key Clubbers went up to Wishon Reservoir to help

Kiwanis run their 16th Annual Special Olympics Fishing Derby. The fishing derby has helped raise funds for Special Olympics for 16 years. There was a great turn-out this

year in both fishers and volunteers. Twice as many key clubbers were able to contribute their time this year than last year. We had a great time camping out overnight, parking

cars, and preparing food with our Kiwanis sponsors. We woke up at 3 AM to help prepare and sell the breakfast burritos and coffee. Later in the day, we grilled,

wrapped, and sold hamburgers and hot dogs, along with bottles of soda and chips. All

profits made were given to the Special Olympics. Volunteering for nearly a whole day, we helped setup on Friday, teardown on Saturday, and everything in between.
