On December 14,

my friends and I all

volunteered in the Ugly

Sweater Run on

Fremont. Admittedly,

the beginning of the

volunteer work was

slow, my friends and I

helped take pictures of

the runners in the race.

However, as soon as

the runners took off, so

did the pace of our job.

During this time, I was

assign ed to pour water

and hot cocoa to the

exhausted runners who

had just finished the

race. Because of how many participates there

were, the job was very quick paced and I had to work quick

enough to keep up with how many people were pouring in

(admittedly knocking over a few cups along the way). It was

very refreshing to see how many people had smiles from ear to

ear and all the children who had participated alongside their

parents. Not only that, but a few of our own club members (as

well as our advisor) had participated in the race and had done

outstanding in it. Overall, the work was very enjoyable and I

am delighted that I had the opportunity to volunteer at such a

fantastic event.

The Ugly Sweater Run was really fun. It was a

great experience. Seeing all the runners wearing

their "ugly sweaters" (most of them were really

cute), I thought they were very creative and

interesting to look at. I worked at the hot

chocolate booth, and it was like an assembly line

of Styrofoam cups when the race ended. I had a

great time and I'd definitely volunteer again next

year.

~Past Events: Key Club Holiday Party~

Article by: Hyacinth Ruiz

Caring— Our Way of Life. Many Key Clubbers know that that is the

motto for this organization, but how about the parents? Not all of them

know what this club does; in fact, it would be understandable if some

of them fell under the common misconception that this club makes

keys. So, in order to remedy that, our club held the Key Club Holiday

Party!

On December 13th, several Key Clubbers and their family came to

the SECTA commons, bringing along suspiciously wrapped gifts for the

game White Elephant as well as treats and goodies for all of us to

snack on. With Christmas music playing in the background, the fun

was ready to begin!

~Past Events: Key Club Holiday Party~

Each officer gave a basic rundown of their positions as well as

experiences they found meaningful to themselves. Their words were

not lost on the crowd, as my mother was touched by our president’s

teary request for parents to understand their children’s passion to

assist the community through Key Club. It wasn’t solemn, however,

not at all! In fact, the mischief caused during White Elephant left

many laughing, and for those who had their gifts stolen—fuming~

All in all, it was a wonderful and successful night!

Our Key Club is

definitely making some

good strides, but that’s

not without our

sponsor club: The

Kiwanis Las Vegas

Strip Club! With Ms.

Ang’s direction,

assistance, and all of

Las Vegas Strip Club

help, our SECTA Key

Club is able to do

numerous events and

improve as a club.

Thanks to them, we

are able to collect

plastic bags for the

homeless that our

sponsor club crochets

in order to craft mats

for the homeless to

sleep in. Thank you Las

Vegas Strip Club and

Ms. Ang! We couldn’t

do any of this without

your help~!
