My lovely readers, What a turbulent month it’s been! With

the new key club term just starting out and

standardized testing rearing its ugly head,

one thing’s for sure— we’ve all been quite

busy! Nevertheless, being immersed in Key

Club spirit at both club and divisional events

is a sure solution to all of our testing angst.

Don’t forget that through it all, we’re

all Key Clubbers at heart, and nothing can

stifle our spirit and love of service! Let’s con-

tinue this month as strong as we were in the

very beginning, and never falter in serving

with passion and dedication ♥

With love (and hugs),

Cindy Ye, Divisional Editor

MARCH FOR BABIES

MARCH FOR BABIES

—Jacqueline Tsang

Underneath the hot sun were thirty one Starfish

marching on to save babies. Those thirty one starfish

raised $49 dollars to help premature babies to live.

It was great being surrounded by that feeling of fam-

ily and united spirit. We all can definitely recall some

great memories from that event. Perhaps it was how

awkward yet hilarious it was joining one of your body

parts to another even if you just met them. Others

may clearly remember the feeling seeing the fast

walkers just waiting on the side of the march for the

whole division to start walking again as one since it

seems as if some starfish got caught amongst the

waves ( of people … get it?). Maybe it even might

have been seeing a ballerina be a rather silly dancer.

Yet that doesn’t even cover all of the great times

from March of Dimes. After the walk, everyone stayed for some grub as

well as my Division Council Meeting. It was wonderful

really getting to inform everyone of what is coming up

along with achievements we have made in the past

month.

April 27th really showed me why I am the lucki-

est person to serve Division 3 North. We are one big,

happy family. We all are so spirited, motivated, pas-

sionate, and dedicated that it inspires me. I want to

thank everyone who attended March of Dimes, sup-

porting me at the first event of my term, and help

making it the best event I have attended. Afterward, being able to hear “this was one of the best

events that you have attended!” really warmed my

heart. I hope to continue to bring opportunities to bond

as a family while serving and having a wonderful time.

I can’t wait to see you all soon. If you were not able to

attend this event, fear not since there are many more

wonderful events to come!

MEMBER OF THE MONTH

CLUB OF THE MONTH OFFICER OF THE MONTH

Despite the fact that she was former of-

ficer of the club, Melody Azani is an ex-

ceptional member who carries out her

spirit and pride very proudly. The love

she has for the club is her aura and is

shines out as it tries to reach for the peo-

ple around it. She gives it her all despite

the fact that she should be getting

ready for the fall semester as her major

and college is already picked. The pure

hearted person she is, she can’t help

but be kind and help the people

around her to fit in with the new family

and encourage them to do their best.

,A caretaker and a unique soul, she is a

keeper of the Kiwanis Family.

LC Secretary David Jin has done his very

BEST to show up to all the events during this

month regardless of the heavy and uneven

scheduling of their actual dates. David also

showed sincere effort into settling in his

new position quickly so that he would be

ready and on task. At the Kiwanian take-

over, everyone absolutely loved his sense

of humor and selflessness. This person

brightens the atmosphere. David truly puts

forth his best efforts to introduce Key Club

to other at our school and tries even

harder to serve and lead the members al-

ready involved. Without him, La Canada

Key Club would not be as much fun and

exciting as it is when he is around!

Despite being a smaller club, VH

Key Club has shown stunning growth in

the past month in member participation

at local and divisional events. This notice-

able growth was seen especially at the

March of Dimes, where 8 VH Key Clubbers

represented their school with cheers that

exemplified Key Club spirit. This was a

wonderful start to the new Key Club term

for them, and we hope that VH will con-

tinue to shine in the coming months.

CLUB REPORTS The Special Olympics @Crescenta Valley HS The Special Olympics is an event where disabled ath-letes come and compete with each other. This year we had over 200 athletes coming from Antelope Valley, Glendale, Tri-Valley, and many more. Before the athletes could com-pete, however, they did the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony had the Marching Band playing, Color Guard dancing, and the cheerleaders cheering them on. The cheer-leaders had a special cheer just for the athletes, which made them pumped up. Afterwards, the athletes warmed-up with a stretching routine, which was led by a USC coach. Then the games began, with races going on con-stantly. The awards were handed out by the firemen and po-licemen who congratulated all the athletes for doing their best. There were smiles everywhere for you to see. The vol-unteers were put in a buddy system with the athletes to ac-commodate the athlete with anything they need. Not only did they help the athlete they also became their friend. This event was an amazing experience not only for the accomplish-ments, but also the new friendships.

What club-level events have occurred this month?

Kiwanis Work Day / Kiwanis One Day was dedicated to sprucing up the Cresenta-Canada YMCA. Members who enjoy hands-on service were able to work on a variety of pro-jects such as painting hand rails, fitting floor-ing, and sealing black top. Key Club member Adam Oler voiced his thoughts about the event, saying "I enjoyed how we all collectively worked for the same goal. It wasn't a huge event, but it was a project that brought people closer. It created a closer bond with Kiwanis, Key Club, and Builders Club!
