November is going to be one HECTIC month for all
of us. College apps are going to be due, we have
to get our heads into our books for school,
and…..oh yeah, FALL RALLY! November is going to
be all about Fall Rally, and I know we will show up
in our BEASTLY spirit. Let’s go for that spirit stick for
a second year in a row! Also, thank you for all of
those who attended the Region Training Confer-
ence in October! Seeing all that spirit that you
Raccoons brought to RTC (almost) brings me to
tears. To see all of the clubs unified is truly a great
sight for me. I KNOW we can win that spirit stick at
Fall Rally. We have to stay united and strong as a
division, and only you can help be a part of that.
Although Fall Rally gets us all spirited and pumped
up, remember that we are still a SERVICE organi-
zation. Let’s keep on serving the community and
let’s make a difference in our world! Just remem-
ber to keep on working hard to get Key Club
known in our community. Please participate in all
of the Key Club Week activities in the beginning
of this month.
―You get what you expect. You get
what you model. You get what you
reward. You get what you work for.‖
– CNH Kiwanis District Governor Richard Olmstead
Keep on working hard, Raccoons!
Love,
LtG Nick

$125,000 for PTP

what‟s PTP? Well, I’m glad you asked!
Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) was es-
tablished by the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foun-
dation the in 1994 in order to help reduce
the number of children who are killed or
injured by trauma.
Money collected for PTP is used to provide
funding to train doctors and nurses in ad-
vanced pediatric courses, to purchase
much-needed pediatric medical equip-
ment, and to support existing and new
community outreach programs.
Unintentional injury is the #1 killer of
children age 14 and under in the U.S.
Unintentional injury kills more children
every year than any other cause - in-
cluding disease, homicide and sui-
cide!
90% of these unintentional injuries can
be prevented
Raise as much money for
PTP as you can so we can
buy Lt. G Nick Sianipar at
Fall Rally South!
We don’t want any other
division buying him so
fundraise, fundraise, and
fundraise!
what‟s PTP?
5 UNICEF? Key Clubbers have been participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF since 1994. Instead of
collecting candy, they collect donations. Leave a box in each classroom and have
school competitions! Bee creative and think of ways to raise funds. This year, all funds
raised in Trick-or Treat for UNICEF will be donated to the ELIMINATE Project.
For more information, visit: http://youth.unicefusa.org/trickortreat/
To date, it has raised over $160 million to provide safer drinking water, medical supplies,
education, emergency relief, and many other necessities to support children in 150+
countries around the world. Key Clubbers have raised $5 million since we first began
participating in 1994.
If you have not received your boxes or if you have run out of boxes, you have two op-
tions:
1. Visit your nearest Toys R Us store to pick some up
2. Visit http://trickortreat.allpointsatl.com/ and then order a few!
It's absolutely free, but please try not to over order in order to maintain a green envi-
ronment.
Want to be creative and dress up as a UNICEF box? A twist to trick-or-treating for
UNICEF would be to order a few life-size costume trick-or-treating boxes for members to
wear on Halloween night. To order, (each costume costs $25) call 1-800-KIWANIS, ext.
390 or 317-875-8755, ext. 390. The box item number is 92102.

Show Your K in Every Way
Show people what Key Club is all
about! Spread the word by wearing
Key Club gear and publicizing Key
Club Week in local stores, your school
Web site, etc. Officially announce Key
Club Week in your community with
a proclamation and refer to the Key
Club public relations manual to get
great tips on how to publicize Key
Club in your community.
Kudos to the KEY Players
Personally thank all the Key Club
supporters you know—teachers, ad-
visors and other Key players. Write
thank-you notes, host an apprecia-
tion dinner or do something uniquely
your own style to recognize the con-
tributions of these special people.
Connect the K‟s
Key Club is the largest high school ser-
vice organization in the world and is a
member of the Kiwanis family. Cele-
brate the entire family of Kiwanis by
getting the whole gang involved.
Connect with local Kiwanis, Circle K
International, Builders, Kiwanis Kids or
Aktion clubs and team up for a joint
service project.
Bring a Friend to Key Club
More members = more service. In-
creasing the amount of service Key
Club performs increases the impact
Key Club has on the world. Bring a
friend, or two, or more to your next
Key Club meeting.
YOUR WAY!
This is your club’s chance to do its
own thing and make its mark. Pick a
project, plan a recruitment party or
combine activities from the other Key
Club Week days. Whatever idea you
choose, take it and run with it.
Feel free to change up the order of the days and how you represent them! Don’t forget, it’s YOUR club! :)
7 how to be an
un lievable leader
Set Goals - Goals are the driving forces of suc-
cess. What are your goals for this upcoming
year? Is it retaining membership? Having more
service projects? Whatever it is, write them
down and share with the club so that they
can help you obtain them.
Limitless Creativity - Don’t reuse the same ideas. Try
out some of your own! Bee creative. You never
know what will happen if you don’t try.
Know Your Facts - Since you are
a Key Club leader, it would
be wise to check up on your
facts and knowledge. Learn
about how the organization
works, the service partners,
our core values...basically
everything related to Key
Club! Some great resources
are [cnhkeyclub.org] and
[keyclub.org].
Communication is the KEY - If you don’t communicate with anyone, then nothing will get
done. Communicate with other board members and club members - always. They
deserve to know what is going on!
Service, Service, Service - Key Club is a service organization - never forget that. Make
sure that your club has a variety of hands - on service opportunities for the members.
Priority Check - Prioritize
what’s more im-
portant. Is planning this
social more important
than this service pro-
ject? Rethink what’s
important; you can
even combine the
two!
Get Rid of the “Beast” -
Procrastination is a
beast - get rid of it!
Everyone struggles
with it. You’re not
alone.
Everyone has Opinions -
So use them! Survey
the members for ide-
as on upcoming
events, service pro-
jects, retaining mem-
bers, gaining new
members...the list is
endless!
Get Help - Nobody is per-
fect; nobody can do
everything. Get help!
Delegate work to other
board members or club
members. Make sure
you can get as many
people as involved as
you can. This will lighten
your stress load.
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses - What are your
strengths and weaknesses? Maybe someone on the
board has strengths that you don’t have. Use those to
your full advantage - that’s what makes a board very
diverse.

soapmu.kiwanis.org/) is where you will be able to de-

―Hey Key Clubbers! How do you feel?!‖
The Region 04 Training Conference at UCR was such an incredible and
beneficial opportunity for me to fully understand what being an officer
as well as what Key Club is all about. I was given the chance to learn
more about my duties as Treasurer and a Key Clubber in general. The
insightful workshops that were presented there were hosted by the divi-
sions’ Lt. Gs’ as well as our District Governor, Erinn Wong. Our attendees
from Region 04 consisted of Division 6 Penguins, Division 36W Huskeys,
Division 36E Raccoons, and Division 47 Krakens. Throughout the confer-
ence, there were crazy cheers, epic spirit battles, and many entertain-
ing ice breakers. The Key Clubbers there were very friendly and inviting
to one another. I got to meet so many new people from different divi-
sions and learn more about their own goals. The RTC ended with a spirit
contest in which all of the divisions participated in. Division 36 East won
Erinn Wong’s vote as the most spirited division in the region. Our RTC
spirit stick will just encourage us all to win that GIANT spirit stick at Fall
Rally South! Unleash that beast and keep on cheering!

13 LESS THAN ONE MONTH „TIL FALL RALLY! Johanes Santoso
Hello Raccoons! I’m sure you know that the month of November
means that it is FALL RALLY. If you don’t know what it is, let me
explain it briefly. It is a HUGE Key Club event held every year at
Six Flags Magic Mountain! You can have fun riding the coasters,
but that is not as fun as the spirit battle session, where the spirit
stick will be given to the most spirited division. As you may or
may not know, our division won the spirit stick last year, and I be-
lieve that we can do the same thing again this year. I have faith
that our division will triumph over the other divisions, even
though we are smaller; Our cheers will be heard throughout the
park and we will own that spirit stick. So please come and enjoy
the day at Six Flags where you will meet new friends and also
have fun with your fellow Key Clubbers!

Hello Key Clubbers! How do you feel this month?
This month we had our RTC at University of California,
Riverside. There were many great things happening
there and for those of you who did not make it to the
event, what can I say, you really missed out! Workshops
were held regarding many different topics, like Presi-
dent/Vice President, Secretary, Editor, etc. After the
workshop session ended we, as a region, had a spirit
battle! That’s right a pre-fall rally spirit battles between
the Raccoons, Huskies, Penguins and also the Krakens!!
Needless to say, you know who won this battle, give it up
for the Raccoons! Give yourself a pat in the back be-
cause you guys are such an awesome division and I am
proud to be raccoon and I wouldn’t have it any other
way!

Question of the Month
KEY CLUB in your own words, DEFINE
A club that everyone wants to join
because it is fun and does community service.
Key Club is the REAL CLUB. It's when you make REAL SMILES come alive on people's faces
after you've done something REALLY GREAT for them! Key Club is the REAL deal!
Janna Macatangay
The Definition of Key Club is family.
We are a family formed through the mutual desire to help those in need.
Many may call it "Asian Club," but when you look closer, there are people from every walk
of life and every ethnicity and they all come together regardless of their differences to b
ecome a family. Key club is where you can go to make some of the best friends
you will ever have and do some of the best work you can.
Key Club means that we are a family
and because we are a family, we can move mountains together.
Key Club is a worldwide organizati
on where all high students
have the same purpose -
to serve their community. We co
mpete for spirit, fundraising and su
ch, but we all do the same thing f
or our club, and that is to dedic
ate our time to
others. Erin Guevara
Key Club is not just a club to me, it is
a family. A big family that I’ve nev-
er had before, and I am lucky and
honored to be a part of it. It is one
of the best things that could
happen in my high school career.

This month we helped prepare and work at a
youth I.D. Day. We also had our first meeting of the
school year and are getting things ready for the
rest year.
YUCAIPA
Well, this is the month that we have started to em-
phasize getting dues in. Fall Rally is just around the
corner, so we want to make sure we get as many
dedicated members as possible. We are also
thinking about making certain requirements for Fall
Rally so that we can help with the Key Club spirit
(more details soon). On the 15th, our LTG Nick
Sianapar joined us for an afterschool meeting to
talk about dues and Fally Rally. Our Chick-fil-A
fundraiser was also advertised throughout school
so we are hoping for a good return. We are plan-
ning a Car Wash for the16th of October.
CITRUS VALLEY
This month, we planned a Car Wash at the Jif-
fylube on Highland and Palm which was very suc-
cessful. We made over $200. We're raising the
money for PTP and for Fall Rally. We're currently
collecting dues and announcing Fall Rally. Other
than the norm, we're also starting a recycling pro-
cess. We're collecting cans and bottles from class-
rooms to recycle and to make money for our club.
As for plans, we're planning another car wash on
the 9th in October and we're also looking forward
to sign up for volunteering at the BelieveWalk on
October 2nd.
REDLANDS
For the month of September,
RHS Key Club focused mainly
on advestising the club and
beginning the fundraising pro-
cess. 3 of the events was
spreading the word, targeting
new members. At Day for
Kids, members helped the
kids of the Redlands Boys
and Girls Club with arts and
crafts, setting up and clean-
ing up the event.
This month, many Key Clubbers have come out to
volunteer at events such as Car Washes and the
Boys and Girls Kids Day Event. It's very amazing
how much money we have earned this month
and how many hours of service we accumlated.
The board presented Amanda Kanady with the
Active Member Award. This has been another
great month and I can't believe that people have
been turning in dues already!

This month we have grown as a club. Even though we did not
have many events this month, we have many scheduled for
October. Our carwash this month was a success. In three short
hours, we raised over $100. This year for our members to go to
Fall Rally, we are requiring that they go to at least two events,
pay their dues, and buy a key club shirt. To encourage mem-
bers to pay their dues and to raise money for our club, we are
raising the club dues a dollar a week. We have had many
members show up to our meetings bringing friends, which has
really helped our club grow.
REDLANDS EAST VALLEY
SAN BERNARDINO
This month we really stepped out of our comfort zone in performing community
service. We had a great amount of key club members at the lake clean up and it
was a lot of fun too! We got to meet other people who were eager to make a dif-
ference and help the environment and their community. As a club, we got closer
to the members and had a lot of positive energy as we helped our local lake look
more beautiful and healthy. At the Home of the Neighborly Service dinner, we
served food to the guests and attended the guests as waiters. We had a lot of fun
serving our community and getting to meet very friendly and energetic people.
This month was a success and if we keep our service up, we will continue to make
a difference for our community and environment.
This month, many Key Clubbers have come out to
volunteer at events such as Car Washes and the
Boys and Girls Kids Day Event. It's very amazing

news editor Annyeonghaseyo, Raccoons!
It’s October and that means that there’s less than 30 days until Fall Rally South! I’m very excited Fally
Rally, like you have no clue. I can’t wait to reunite with my old Key Club friends and make even more
new ones! This term has started out great so far my home club (woohoo Citrus:D) and the division as
well. I hope we all keep it up, but I know for a fact that we all can do it! I am so proud of all of the
Key Clubbers who have took on the challenge of being a leader and setting a good example for
everyone to look up to. You guys make me so happy :’D
Remember to recruit as many students as you can to join Key Club! You might even be the reason
why Key Club helped changed their life. I convinced my one friend to join Key Club and the other
day she told me how the club helped her become more outgoing and amiable. In her own words, ―I
guess Key Club did make a difference in my life.‖ It’s time to take charge and show everyone why
service is important! Not only are you benefiting the community and your fellow Raccoons, but
you’re also becoming a leader with an everlasting impact on the world.
I hope you all read the newsletter from the first word to the last as it might even help you
consider new ideas to help give back to the community. Now that the sun is rising up, I
think it’s best if I get some rest now. D;
Stay Beasty,
Nancy Nguyen(:
tech editor Bonjour, Raccoons!
How are you guys?! I hope you’re all doing dandily! Did you know that there are only 29-30 days until FALL
RALLY! I’m really excited for it, seeing as it’s going to be my first Fall Rally EVER! :’) I hope you guys are all think-
ing of cheers, attending the Committee meetings, reading all of your monthly updates, READING THE NEWS-
LETTER –winkwink-, and ATTENDING YOUR WEEKLY HOME CLUB MEETINGS! It’s super important that you guys
attend your meetings so that you know your responsibilities as a Key Clubber!
I don’t have much to say this month because it’s currently the 20th and I have to turn this in in
half an hour and I’m not even done yet LOLOLOL GAAAAAAH
THE THINGS I DO FOR YOU GUYS! Hahah, kidding. But I really do love you <3
