Hello Spartans! Can you BEElieve it? The new school year is already here! This
fall will be a very busy time for Key Clubbers, with events like
Club Rush, Region Training Conference and Fall Rally North
arriving faster than ever. With Club Rush, I highly encourage
all of you to come together to brainstorm possible ways to
bring in the members! But remember, while it is important to
make a good first impression on the new members, it is even
more important to keep those members active in your clubs
as well. One thing you can do is come up with fun and inter-
esting service projects to give to the members! Whatever the
case, be sure to give members the best experience in Key
Club you can! The members are the backbone of Key Club – they are what hold us
together!
As you struggle to balance your time between schoolwork, extracurriculars, friends,
family, and for seniors – college applications - remember that you don’t have to suffer
alone! You have an ohana right by your side to help you whenever you need it.
Though it can often be a challenge for us teenagers, always manage your time wisely,
and don’t procrastinate!
As always, feel free to come to one of us on the Division Leadership Team for help!
Emily, Cammy, Madison, and I serve YOU.
With that said, I hope to see you all soon at Key Club events - like September’s Region
Training Conference!
With the fighting spirit of service,
Tyra Saelee
Division 12 West Lieutenant Governor

THE OFFICIAL DIVISION 12 WEST NEWSLETTER | 06
In the United States, Pediatric Trauma remains the leading cause of death
and injury among children ages 14 and under. Recognizing the serious
need for education and training in the areas of pediatric trauma and in-
jury prevention, the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation established the Pediat-
ric Trauma Program (PTP) in 1994.
To develop local projects which will reduce the number
of children in our three-state District who are killed or
injured by trauma, ensuring all children live happy,
healthy and safe lives.
Donating to PTP provides grants to partner hospitals, Kiwanis and SLP clubs,
and it provides PTP safety items.
Learn more here.

MISSION:
DID YOU
KNOW?
Unintentional injury is the #1 killer of children age 14 and under in the U.S.
Unintentional injury kills more kids every year than any other cause – including disease, homicide and suicide
Each year in the U.S., 9,000 families lose a child because of a prevent-able injury
Studies indicate 90% of these unintentional injuries can be pre-vented.
After the DCM, Key Clubbers help by serving
popcorn and cotton candy for the movie night!
THE OFFICIAL DIVISION 12 WEST NEWSLETTER | 07
This was the first DCM I have ever attended, and it was
a great experience and extremely informative. All of
the attendees played a fun name game/icebreaker,
and then Tyra presented information about registration
for upcoming events such as Region Training Confer-
ence, Fall Rally North, and District Convention. After the
DCM, attendees painted children's' faces and helped
serve popcorn and cotton candy to families at the
Camden Community Center’s movie night. I would
recommend that all members try to attend at least one
DCM, as you not only have fun but also learn a lot
about current Key Club events and projects!

CLUB REPORT
This summer, there have been a series of weekly
outdoor concerts in downtown Campbell. Since
a lot of families like to bring their children, we saw
this as an opportunity to have a face painting
booth! Each week members would attend and
paint faces, collecting donations toward Pediat-
ric Trauma Program, or PTP. We raised nearly
$150! Even if you think you may not have artistic
talent, it is still a lot of fun. And who knows? You
might manage to create a few masterpieces.

CLUB RUSH ideas
Put posters and flyers around your school
campus. Include information on Key Club
and the time/location of the next meeting!
Everyone is interested in food! Try handing
out candy with the time/location of the
next meeting written on the wrapper.
Try handing out stickers saying “Join Key
Club!” to as many people as you can, or
stick them on other students without them
knowing!
Wear your spirit gear to show potential members
how spirited and dedicated you are to Key Club!
Capture the interests of potential members by sharing your
personal thoughts about Key Club and what it means to
you. Present information on the organization and being an
active member. Set up a booth with poster boards and Key
Club items.
