A Word from Our LTG We are a month into the school year already and
so far it has been a blast! I hope everyone started
off the year on the right foot and are ready to keep
on pushing throughout the year. As we venture off
into the ocean, remember to make sure to keep on
riding the waves, and if you happen to fall off your
surfboard when riding: be sure to get back up and
keep on riding! Months will go by, waves will come
and go, and the ride will only get tougher. Always
remember to prioritize your time wisely, keep
yourself motivated, keep things balanced, and
most importantly make sure you save time for
yourself. At the September DCM, I presented
information on Innovative Service Projects. A diverse
selection of service projects will keep your Key Club
interested in performing service for the community.
Find creative, interesting, and exciting new ways to
spice up a service project, or even better yet,
organize an entirely new project for your club to
give a try. Through these new and innovative
service projects, we can help our district reach its
goal of 46,000 members, 800,000 service hours, and
$154,000 raised for Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP);
which altogether gives us one million reasons to
serve. I wish you all luck for October, and good luck
to whoever is taking their SAT/ACT this month. Catch
you on the next wave!
In service,
Johansen Pico
Division 28 West Lt. Governor

Division Leadership Team from the editor
Can you feel it? Can you feel that seamonkey spirit? I certainly
can! RTC is just around the corner and I can’t wait to see our
entire region cheer our hearts out and learn about more Key
Club. Although we are all so excited about the new school year
itself, be sure to make some time to volunteer! Now that we
have all of our new and bright Key Clubbers with us this year, we
have to promote service events even more and continue
helping our community. Again as always, do not forget to submit
articles and visuals to my email, and I will be hoping to expect
more as our administrative year goes on. See you all next month!

Hello Seamonkeys,
This is Johansen Pico, your Lt. Governor. Dues season has officially started, and it is my goal for
Division 28 West to be 100% dues paid by December 1st. This is only possible with your help and
cooperation. Faculty Advisors should have been mailed a letter from Key Club International with
instructions on how to register for the new, updated Membership Update Center (MUC). Please be
sure to confirm with your Faculty Advisor that he/she has received this. Next, you want to make sure
you update your members on the MUC, either adding new members or deleting old ones. Lastly,
generate an invoice to send to Key Club International by November 1st for Early Bird dues, or
December 1st for On-Time dues. Please be sure to pay your dues as soon as possible, not only to
reach the goal of having a 100% dues paid division by December 1st, but also to make sure your
club isn’t delinquent. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns regarding the dues
process, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Thank you!

September 8th, 2012 was Cimarron- Memorial’s first Key Club event
since the school year started. We took the opportunity to volunteer at the
Red Rock 5K, handing out free freebies to those that participated in the
run. This 5k run was in memorial of 26 year old high school cross country
legendary, Travis Boulton. In honor to Travis, many people wore shirts with
him on it. We saw a diverse of age groups running in this event such as
children who were 6 years old to people in their 50’s. All the money that
they raised went towards the Travis’ Love Foundation which was a
supporting foundation of things that Travis loved such as Cross Country. It
was great seeing many runners and volunteers from different organizations
and other key clubs. Hopefully next year we are able to volunteer at this
event again!

Northwest freshmen orientation School was just around the corner, but before school started, there was freshman orientation!
The reason I was going was because we were trying to promote Key Club! Seeing all the kids
mixed facial expressions about our club because they weren't sure what Key Club was. They
asked the obvious question, "Do you guys make keys?" But our board would tell them what
we're all about. My favorite part throughout the day was actually showing s group of freshmen
our "How do you feel?" cheer. Some were a bit overwhelmed but some loved our enthusiasm
which put a smile on my face! Being a senior now reminds me of my freshman orientation. I
remember seeing Key Club, and I've known about if for awhile because my brother was in it,
so I already knew I was going to join. I remember them as a bunch of hyper, outgoing kids,
and I knew I wanted to be like them.
Maribeth Maucesa Senior representative, Northwest CTA
First meeting "The first Key Club meeting was nothing less than extraordinary. Yes there were a few
hiccups, but nonetheless it was still the old Key Club we all know and love. At the first meeting
of the year, it was jam-packed with new faces and old faces, all with the same goal: to have
fun while serving their community. Probably the best part to all the first meetings of Key Club is
when we cheer and you just look around to see the new Key Clubbers’ faces of shock
because most of them are weirded out by a large group of people spinning and grunting for
they’ve never seen it before. As a junior this year, I’m excited for our all-junior board and the
fun events that they have in store for all of us. By the end of the year, I hope that we all get to
know each other and at the same time help to improve our community with our friends while
having fun."
Louie Gonzales Member, Ed W. Clark Cimarron-Memorial Key Club held its first meeting August
27th, 2012. There were about 59 students that came to
our first meeting. We held our meeting in a classroom,
and it was so crowded that some people had to stand,
and some people were in the hallway because we
didn’t have enough room. Most people looked very
interested in what we had to say. We handed out
membership packets to everyone during our meeting,
and by the end, more than half of the people turned in
their packets and were asking when the next meeting
was. Overall, I thought our first meeting was outstanding!
I hope that throughout this year, we will become an
even more successful Key Club!

"Bottle caps, cigarette butts, plastic red film, and other odd ends and bits. These
were a few things I found littered around the school. And I'm sure the other members
found some other, more interesting rubbish to collect. Yes, folks, we were cleaning up
the outside of the school where many students commute, hang out, and of course,
litter. Despite the fact we are young adults, we may not be aware of how much junk
piles up. At the same time, we can't stand around and watch our precious school turn
into a wasteland. What can we do to clean up? We can't rely on the wind; in fact I
think the wind may be responsible for some of this. The only option is human strength.
I'm not talking about a single janitor cleaning the boundaries of the school; one man
can't clean the school on their own. I'm talking about the will of many generous and
hard working teens who were willing to get their hands dirty. On September 1, 2012,
many students, all part of Clark High School's Key Club, banded together to help
properly dispose of the litter strewn around the school. Everyone split into separate
teams and were given surgical gloves and trash bags at their disposal. We were then
instructed to scout out the entire exterior of the school and throw away any piece of
trash we can find. Doesn't that sound like prison community service? Absolutely not! In
fact we were in for a surprise at the end. The team that collected the most trash wins a
prize. This is easier said than done because we were basically racing each other to
certain areas and checking blind spots. And while we were wondering what said prize
was, we were in for more surprises as we were cleaning up. If you remember from
earlier, we found cigarettes in the front of the school. There was also these red pieces
of film that I assume were from the construction that's going on. There were also bottle
caps, wrappers, screws, nuts and bolts, and even glass shards from bottles. Good
thing I was wearing my dad's gardening gloves. In the end, the winning team was
announced. They were able to fill up not one, but TWO bags of trash. Their prize was
ice cream; either American manufactured or Asian manufactured. But obviously the
important thing is that we, more or less, made the outside of the school cleaner. In any
case, we said goodbye with a cheer and went home. But I wonder if the school will
stay clean.
So here's a question: If you attended: Did you enjoy cleaning up around the
school? Did you find any pieces of trash did you find that left you with the question,
"What is this doing here?" If you didn't: Would you have shown up?"

RECOGNITION Club of the month…
Western Member of the Month
Month… Diether Rex Carreon
From Spring valley...
Diether is a freshman who is already deeply involved in Key Club with his enthusiasm and
great participation in the club. After attending his first meeting, he quickly paid his dues for
RTC and membership. He also voluntarily helped to promote the club during our school's
Club Rush and recruited many members who is still active today. Diether has also attended
every Recycling event that is held every week after school to pick up teacher's recycling
boxes. He also offers to pick up the rest of the recycling boxes around campus if we are short
on members. Diether has also signed up to join our two upcoming events at the Hemophilia
Walk at Town Square and Greek Food Festival. My officers and I chose Diether because his
efforts are going beyond than the other members and is easily shown with his participation
and spirit.
