Spirit Battles Spirit at the Homecoming Parade: October 11, 2013

Charter Oak Key Club’s participa-

tion in the 2013 homecoming game

parade was phenomenal. Many

member showed up along with our

Lieutenant-Governor, Andy Wong,

who got cheers going throughout

the night. Despite Mr. Wong’s fan-

tastic leadership skills, it was the

members that really made this pos-

sible. While it is still undecided who

won the Spirit Battle, it was clear to

teachers, staff, and the crowd that

Key Club had a lot of spirit.

The Rowland Heights’ Buckboard Days Parade

Behind the scenes action: October 19, 2013

On the nineteenth of October, Charter Oak Key Club participated with Division 35 East

in the Rowland Heights’ Buckboard Days Parade. While members were not the stars of

the parade, their valiant service helped start and keep the parade going. Members as-

sisted floats and cars in lining up in the correct place and moving them along the pa-

rade route as the parade progressed. As the parade cruised down along Nogales

street, volunteers collected cones provided by the Department of Water and Power.

At this event members got the chance to experience what it is like to work behind the

scenes of an event and not necessarily get all the credit. This is truly what Key Club moti-

vates its members to realize through their hours of service. In accomplishing this, mem-

bers truly hold up the Key Club motto: “Caring is our way of life.”

Fall Rally South

When: Saturday, November 9, 2013

Where: Six Flags Magic Mountain

What: Every year thousands of Key

Clubbers from Northern and Central

California flock to Six Flags magic

Mountain to celebrate the efforts

that have been put into raising mon-

ey and awareness for Pediatric Trau-

ma Program (PTP). It is a day full of

rides, laughter, fun, and, most im-

portantly, Key Club Spirit.

Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP)

Unintentional injury is the number one killer of children 14 and under. 90% of

these unintentional injuries can be prevented, however.

Since 1994, the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation has joined forces with its Spon-

sored Leadership Programs to help raise money for PTP. Since then, the Cal-Nev-Ha

District has become a leading contributor to the program by fundraising thousands

of dollars each year that go to training pediatric doctors and purchasing much-

needed medical equipment.

By attending Fall Rally, you will be contributing to even further our fundraising

goals and you will help to provide children with the opportunity to survive from un-

intentional injuries.
