Message from the LTG

Greetings Division 05 Trojans!

The past few weeks have been a blast as we began to travel

deeper into the school year. In fact, we Trojans have been

extremely busy every weekend raising money for PTP

(Pediatric Trauma Program) and raising money for the

division. Most importantly, we even had service projects to

give back to the community! And I must say, we have done a

great job. So far as a division, we have raised over $400

for PTP and over $400 for the division in just the span of

two months! That is something to applaud the division for!

However, the division has even more in store for YOU in

the next couple of weeks! Stay updated by keeping in touch

with your club officers! Or, join the Division Facebook

Group, follow us on Twitter, or attend the monthly DCMs!

Lastly, continue to work hard raising money for PTP at the

club level and turn in the funds at the October DCM! I look

forward to seeing you all at future events!

Q: What made you want to be a part the Key Club community? Chris Domanski, Clovis West: “Some friends recommended it to me and it seemed very interesting. I wanted to join a club that was entertaining but also something that would be worthwhile.” Tracy Liu, Buchanan: “I joined Key Club, because I wanted to get exposed to

different volunteering opportunities.” Helen Cheng, Buchanan: “I kept hearing great things about Key Club- my friends were in it, and they all talked about having fun during service while earning volunteer hours for college. And I thought, why not? It's beneficial in

every way. And as soon as I jumped into it, Key Club was everything everyone told me it was- fun and satisfying to give back to the community, especially

with my friends. In actuality, I met a lot of my friends through my clubs, especially through Key Club! Eventually, all these bonuses just kept adding up, and I'm still searching for a way to give back to show how much I appreciate this.” Q: What does Key Club mean to you?

CD: “Key Club is a way of me giving back to the community. It gives me that warm feeling inside. Aha.” TL: “Key Club has done so much for me, and provided me with my "ohana."’

HC: “To me, Key Club gives me a sense of purpose among my peers and community- all of a sudden, I can give back to my community while meeting

new people, growing friends, and gaining those volunteer hours for college.” Q: What was your favorite event/part of Key Club? CD: “Well, you know, I love nature so getting the opportunity to clean up the park was nice. It combined two of my favorite things. Nature and benefiting the community.”

TL: “My favorite part of Key Club has definitely been DCON, because you get to meet so many new people from the district, and you get to be immersed in everything Key Club through workshops for fun events for a weekend.”

HC: “My favorite part about Key Club would be plain volunteering, because it gives me opportunities to do multiple things at once, such as getting to know

more people and having fun while selflessly performing service. My favorite event about Key Club would be the DCMs (Divisional Council Meetings), because then I get to meet all sorts of people, all fellow division members, on a monthly basis! The DCMs also really help me keep up with things and grow more active in Key Club.” Q: Would you recommend Key Club to your friends? CD: “Yes. Although Key Club is a community service based club and takes up time and effort, it’s something fun. It’s a great way to meet new friends and make new memories.

HC: Of course I'd recommend Key Club! How rhetorical- but it's surprising how

so many people are uninformed. So I talk about/recommend Key Club on a daily basis because of all the great benefits that everyone and just about anyone can reap! To put it simply, Key Club equals more friends, fun, and purpose for yourself and tons of help for the community! There's just no bad

side to it. And of course, for the ambitious, there's always those volunteer hours.” ;) Interviewed Conducted by: Michelle Lee, Clovis West VP and Sophia Xu, Division Editor

Tzu Chi Moon Festival

The Tzu Chi Moon Festival is an annual charity night that is aimed to promote and

support the Tzu Chi Foundation, specifically their medical missions. Clubbers met with

the director of the event, Ms. Yang, who explained how truly fortunate we all are. She

related a story of less fortunate families in China, who could not afford many simple

luxuries taken for granted in the United States. Touched by the Tzu Chi Foundation’s

cause, members were determined to provide as much help as possible. In order to

support this endeavor, Clovis West Key Clubbers assisted in creating multi-colored

paper lanterns, as well as white origami lotus flowers for the event. The number of

members that attended this event was so overwhelming that the project was finished

almost an hour early! This event was in preparation for the actual festival that is being

held on September 22nd. During the festival, Clovis West Key Clubbers will continue to

offer their service by manning booths that are selling tickets, egg rolls, spring rolls, pot

stickers, steamed buns, rice noodles, Chinese tamales, sushi, samosas, turnip rice cakes,

ramen noodles, veggie chicken noodle soup, deep fried tofu, deep fried yam, moon

cakes, and honey dew tapioca drinks… Just to name a few. Not only that, but Key

Clubbers will be responsible for selling and lighting the candles nestled within the

paper lotus flowers. These flowers are in turn released into the lotus wishing pond by

guests. This is the main at the Moon Festival, along with the lantern walk. Participation of

members throughout the entirety this event will be necessary, as maintenance of the

pond, lanterns, and candles is required. This event promises to have a great turnout, as

well as establish increasingly positive relations with the Tzu Chi Foundation and

surrounding community.

With the first DCM of the school year, which was hosted by Buchanan, Division 5

had a great turn out with 37 members. The DCM started off with our usual spirit

activity, this time being “anyone who…”. It was a fun way to bond with everyone in

our division. After the game, we got down to business, and learned about new

divisional events and upcoming deadlines, such as RTC, Fall Rally, and the all

important Division 5 Yard Sale.

-Tracy Liu, Buchanan VP

On September 8th, one of the most hectic events we’ve had so far, Buchanan Key Club teamed

up with Old Town Clovis Kiwanis as well as Fresno State’s Circle K club and volunteered at the

Clovis Unified Elementary Football Carnival that was held at Buchanan High School. Who knew

being in charge of a snack bar could be so hard? The volunteers helped with everything such

as making churros and hot dogs, selling soda and candy, and keeping up with the constant line

of customers. It was fun to volunteer once again with our Kiwanis club, as well as meeting the

Key Clubbers from Circle K.

-Tracy Liu,

Buchanan Vice President

Key Clubbers never turn down a volunteering opportunity, even in the hot sun! On September 15th, Division 5 Key Club held a yard sale after Clovis Fest at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds. Key Clubbers from across the division as well as Kiwanis clubs came out to help. It was a pretty successful yard sale, and it was also fun at the same time getting able to bond with the volunteers that came and meet people from around the division.
