Happy New Year, Keyclubbers!

It's been a while since the last post. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. But now that I'm updating again, there are a few things you should know about.

DCON! District convention is coming up in April. It's a great experience and it's really fun, so i suggest you all try to go. If you plan on going, registration forms will be handed out at one of the meetings this month. The fee for registration is $152. Registration is due on February 12th. You need to be an official member of Key Club to attend. Please apply to be a member before February. Membership fee is $15. Don't miss out.

We know that the fee for DCON is high, so we're planning to have lots of fundraisers in order to lower the price. We plan on having another California Pizza Kitchen takeover and a Yogurt Works fundraiser in order to raise more money. We have even more restaurant fundraisers in mind, so attend all the club meetings to stay updated on our announcements.

Lastly, a very exciting event is coming up. It's the D12 West Mr. Trooper Pageant! Male representatives from each school in Division 12 West will compete in a pageant and test their key club knowledge. We have chosen a special candidate to be our representative; Kingston Ngo. Be sure to attend this event at Harker High School on January 24th. Check out this URL for info on the event; http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=40624856692. This is sure to be a very entertaining show.

Don't hesitate to contact any of the board members for any further questions.

You should know that..

Hey Key Clubbers!

We had a meeting today and if you missed it, there are a lot of things you should know.

It's that time of year; DUES! In order to become an OFFICIAL member of Key Club international, you need to pay the membership dues. They are due this Friday (October 24th) and they cost $10. It really is best to pay on time, otherwise, the price raises to $15. Also, when you pay the fee, remember to get a membership application. When you pay your dues, you get a membership card, a pin and INSURANCE. So, if ever you hurt yourself at any Key Club Event, Key Club will pay for your medical costs. Also, if you plan on attending District Convention (DCON) this year, you HAVE to be an official member of Key Club. So, get those dues in guys!

This Saturday (October 25th) is Fall Rally North (FRN). FRN is basically a fundraiser for Pediatric Trauma Prevention. This year, it's being held at Great America. Admission costs $31. We are meeting at IHOP before 9:15 am, but you can join us for breakfast there at 8:30 am. We should be at the park by 9:30 am, so please try to make it on time. And don't forget to wear green or camo. We need to show off our TROOPER PRIDE. ;)

Lastly, we are taking part in UNICEF's fundraiser for the children in Swaziland. We are collecting change with our special UNICEF boxes for the Swaziland children that were affected by HIV and AIDS. Ask people for any spare change to donate. Encourage anyone and everyone to contribute. We are making a difference with every penny. Please ask Hannah for a UNICEF box if you need one.

That's all for now. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, don't hesitate to ask any of the board members. I hope to see you all at FRN this Saturday!

If you are low on community service hours, Santa Clara's Annual Art&Wine Festival is coming up. It takes place on September 13/14. Just show up and you'll be assigned a job then and there.

The school Club Faire is coming up. It's said to take place on September 12, but the date is still pending.

Come to the Sonoma Chicken Coop on September 9 from 5pm-9pm. We are fundraising for FRN.

Summer Events

Hey Keyclubbers! Happy Summer. Hope you've been having a great summer vacation. But even though it's summer, we still have quite a few Key Club events going on.

Relay for Life is taking place from July 12th through 13th this year. It's a 24 hour event. Our Relay Captain this year is Nhu Duong. We still need to find out who will be our team members. So if you're interested, e-mail Nhu at nhu.duong@gmail.com. For the relay, we'll need to know who will bring what (tents, banner, decorations, etc...) For any further information please contact Nhu.

Next on the list is the June DCM. It's taking place this Saturday, June 28th from 12 -4 PM. This DCM in particular includes swimming and food, so it requires a $7 fee. The DCM will be at Mary Gomez Park, which is located at the corner of Forbes and San Thomas. Please RSVP with Hannah if you plan to go.

The Kiwanis are collaborating with Direct Relief International are in charge of Share Old Spectacles (SOS). We need you to donate your old eye glasses that you don't use anymore. We're giving them out to the visually handicapped overseas. So be a helping hand and give sight to the ones who are in need.

Also, our Develop Africa project was extended in order to gather more used school supplies for the needy. Over the summer, when you have time, look through your old stuff and gather everything you know you won't use anymore. You can donate supplies like notebooks, pencils (non-mechanical), pens, color markers, crayons, backpacks, and everything like that.

Lastly, there are a few more dates to look forward to. OTC and the July DCM are taking place on July 26th. The September DCM is taking place during RTC from September 27 through 28 at Camp Jones Gulch, La Honda. Finally, Fall Rally North is taking place October 25 at Great America where we'll be raising money for PTP (Pediatric Trauma Prevention).

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for any of the events listed on this post, don't hesitate to contact any of the board members for more information.

Hey Keyclubbers. Here's a few announcements to keep you updated with what's been going on with Key Club:

The May DCM is coming up, come meet up the rest of the D12W division and see what's next on our list of community service projects. The DCM will take place this Saturday on the 31st of May @ Westmont Highschool from 11am- 2pm.

On June 1st, the Hip Hop Club will be having a car wash for Invisible Children from 9am-12 noon in the school's Bus Circle.

Bring in your old and unused school supplies to Mr. Jacquard's Class. Our Key Club will be sending care packages to needy kids in Africa who can't afford to buy any. Just bring any school supplies that you don't use; pens, pencils, markers, backpacks, notebooks, etc. even if their slightly used. No mechanical pencils, please. We don't think that they have lead to refill them.

Our Key Club is planning to have an Icebreaker Hiking Trip. Let's get together and get to know each other a little better. More info on the subject will be coming up soon.
