KR KC August Newsletter

Hey Key Clubbers! Only a few more weeks till

school :o. I don’t think I’m ready… on the bright side it means

that we can look forward to our regular meetings again!

Make sure you are telling all your non key-club friends to

join next year! If you know any incoming Freshman make

sure you tell them about them about how awesome Key

Club is as well. There has been a bit of a lull this summer in

both service opportunities and volunteers, so make sure you

are checking our media pages for any upcoming events. Re-

member that hours you collect now count for DCON 2016.

I hope you guys are having a great summer! Enjoy

Key Clubbers came from all over to partake in this spectacular event at Northwood

Middle School! Those who came enjoyed an intense day full of workshops, a talent show,

and a keynote speaker. Key Clubbers got to enjoy forums such as “PNW Family Feud” and

“How to Get A Date.” But who needs to see me rambling on about it, take a look at what

these attendees had to say:

“ Seattle Rally was a fun mini DCON. Unfortunately D32 didn't take home the spirit

stick again. But special thanks to the KR Key Clubbers that showed up ad made it a great

time!” - Raymond Nguyen

“Let's see...It was basically like DCON but you know "mini" aha. So literally right when

you walk in you see everyone in like either divisional gear or like 60s clothing. You check-in,

go into the commons and find some friends, make some friends and break the ice with

some ice breakers! ☺After that, we went into the gym and had a quick intro, and there

were three sessions filled with so many options of different workshops, ughhhhh the strug-

gle was real trying to just pick one workshop for each session...BUT we had to do it and I

went to the eliminate project for the first session, life hacks for the second and how to get a

date for the last session (IT WAS FOR SOME GIGGLES OK LOL). Of course we had lunch, Lit-

tle Cesar's, fruit snacks, and some water nomnomnom... The last and final thing we all did

was closing session filled with spirit cheers, and loud people, which was great! we had

great talents from Vincent Nguyen's magic show, and some great violin skills from the one

and only B-Rag!! There was so much more that happened, but if I were to say it all I'd take

like 5 pages explaining.. Ahhhh it was definitely a loss if you didn't attend. BUT IT'S OKAYYY

BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS DCON 2016 AND SEATTLE, TACOMA AND ALL THE OTHER

RALLIES NEXT YEAR!! ❤️ ❤️ ” -Emily Tan

“Peace, Love, & Service! That was what Seattle Rally was all about, and it brought in

hundreds of Key Clubbers all over the Seattle area. This year, the rally promoted member-

ship growth by encouraging not just current Key Clubbers to come, but people not yet in

Key Club as well. Not only did people get training to learn more about servant leadership,

they had some fun by mingling, engaging in spirit battles, and even watching a talent

show. I thought we had a good balance of informational forums, along with entertaining

ones like DIY Mixtape or How to Get a Summer Body. I enjoyed leading my part of the fo-

rums (Key Club 101 and How to Get a Date, except if you were serious about getting a

date then it wasn’t the most helpful…), but most of all, I loved getting to see the spirit of cur-

rent and future Key Clubbers!” -Tiffany Wong

This one of a kind DCM brought together former LTGS and Kiwanis

Leaders! Key Clubbers had a blast preparing for

the upcoming Seattle Rally! Learning chants and

putting their creative skills to the test these Key

Clubbers completed several workshops and

challenges, and of course, had a lot of fun!

“Your support is greatly appreciated. Every dollar goes towards helping lupus patients and research towards finding a cure!” - Ammara Touchh
