AND … That’s a wrap!

With the quickly approaching DCON only hours away, my official formal retirement is also here! It really

has been just a run for me, and I truly cannot thank everybody enough for making my 2012-2013 such a

wave. From splashing my term with many memories to take away, I truly am so gratefully humbled and

honored to have served you all as your Division 41 South Lieutenant Governor.

Coming into the term, I didn’t realize how much our division could accomplish in so little time! Over the

course of 11 months—one month shorter than it normally would be—Division 41 South’s den of over 500

lions volunteered 6,625 hours of service and raised $3,119 for charity!! I cannot be any more proud, and I

am truly at a lass of words in regards to congratulating and acknowledging all the hard work each and

every Lion put out. Do come to our end of the year banquet, however, in order to see which club is the

winner in regards to “most hours served” and “most funds raised for service!”

But aside from the service you do for others, Division 41 South really knows the concept of Ohana in

respect to our Region 03 Family; as the southern-most division of Region 03, I really want to thank all

drivers for making the trek up to region events—from OTC to RTC and even our many socials, such as

Division 04’s dances! Besides other division functions, however, I truly want to thank all who came out to

each and every one of our own Division 41 South gatherings—whether you were only able to attend

one or whether you were that one in every single photo taken, the support is much loved and

appreciated! Even if you aren’t a Lion (which I have to say is rather unfortunate), you will always be

welcomed into our den as an Honorary Lion with a Heart of Gold. From DCM’s to Annual Events and

Socials, I know I can take out memories from each event; each memory is something I will forever

cherish and carry throughout my life.

Thank you so much for your continued participation, your continued dedication to servicing others, and

your pride in being in Key Club as a Division 41 South Lion. I too hope that this 2012-2013 term is one to

remember, as we have set the bar for the 2013-2014 term, to be led by Division 41 South Lieutenant

Governor Elect Joseph Olmo. His term will be fantabulous, and we all have to be there to support him as

you all have supported me!

But before the sappy passing of the torch, I want to thank the 2012-2013 leadership: from the Division

Leadership Team to the Division Executive Board … my sanity wouldn’t be without them all, and

especially of my life management, it really wouldn’t be without our Division Newsletter Editor Anhthy

Tong! She really is our unsung hero in meticulously stitching together each and every BEEautiful

Newsletter, grabbing those angles for those brilliant shots, and working so hard in really propelling the

Division into new heights. We really don’t thank her enough; and shy enough as she is, we all need to

find her and grant her High Tens for being super awesome and always so passionate about her work.

Let us give a YIP-YIP to Anhthy as she compiles her last Newsletter!

But no really, thanks to everybody again for such a great run … We’ve really finished out so strong!

On the Prowl for Service,

Hannah Tuong

Lieutenant Governor

Niguel Hills Orchestra’s Solo and

Ensemble Dessert Concert

On Friday, March 8, DHHS Key Club

volunteered at the Niguel Hills Middle

School, helping out with the Niguel Hills

Orchestra’s Solo & Ensemble Dessert

concert. Our volunteers served a

delicious assortment of donated

desserts to a crowd of over 100

parents and students that came to

support the Orchestra. Throughout the

night, many students and small

ensembles performed their favorite

classical or contemporary songs; some

even arranged versions of modern

songs by artists like Taylor Swift. While

the performers played, our volunteers

served and finished the night by

assisting in the raffle and finally

cleaning up the theatre.

On March 1st, CVHS Key Clubbers got

up early in the morning to host a

charity garage sale. At the break of

dawn, Key Clubbers set up an

organized display of all the donated

items from members in Key Club.

Items ranged from clothes to board

games, furniture to strollers, and

electronics to accessories; Key Club’s

garage sale had it all. During

moments where there were no

buyers, Key Clubbers utilized the free

time to play football, dance, and

socialize. Not only was the event a

great fundraiser, but also was an

amazing bonding experience for

members. As buyers strolled in, Key

Clubbers welcomed them, explained

the purpose of the garage sale, and

Clubbers welcomed them, explained

the purpose of the garage sale, and

were excellent salesmen. As a result

of their efforts, the garage sale was a

success, earning $160.00 for Project

Eliminate.

Clubbers hosted a booth at the

Multicultural Fair, which is held annually

at Capo Valley High School. At

Multicultural Fair, each participating

club represents one country of their

choice by preparing delicious

traditional foods and decorating their

booth with fun facts about their

respective countries. It has become a

yearly tradition for Key Club to represent

the country of Taiwan, serving delicious

orange chicken and milk tea boba to

hungry attendees, and this year was no

different. In addition to serving

customers, volunteers enjoyed

watching traditional Bollywood

dancing, listened to the sounds of a

Mexican mariachi band, and also

indulged in the general excited

atmosphere of the crowded auditorium.

Key Clubbers sold out half-way into the

fair, all profits of which are going to

Project Eliminate, and the event proved

to be a fun cultural experience for

everyone who participated.

Overall, it was a great event, in which

the froggy Christopher Te from D41N

won! Future events for Laguna Hills

are the annual Easter Egg Hunt at

Gallup Park and Easter egg baskets

for the families at Camp Pendleton.

Mr. Key Club Pageant

This past Sunday on March 11, Key Club

41 South serviced Buena Park’s annual

Coaster Run held at Knott’s Berry Farm!

The runners chose between a 5K and

10K and ran them at their own pace

marked by eight waves of runners of

varying speeds. Members of Laguna

Hills Key Club showed up at the crack of

dawn and serviced until mid-day with a

myriad of tasks. These ranged from

holding up signs marked with wave

numbers, to monitoring the finish line, to

even cheering on the runners in Camp

Snoopy! Most can agree that the most

exciting part of the run was seeing the

cheery faces of the little kids as they ran

exciting part of the run was seeing the

around the theme park. The Key Club of

Laguna Hills had been the first to help

setup and the last to leave as they

continued clean up even after the

majority of the volunteers had left.

Surprisingly, I got awarded “Crowd

Favorite,” something I would not

expect myself to win. I’m very glad

that I participated this year.

The Fairest Key Clubber

Of Them All

Being part of this pageant was an

honor to represent my club and

division. It was also exciting to meet

the other candidates and key

clubbers from other divisions.

I enjoyed collecting Easter supplies at

the local Ralphs. The supplies we

collected were made into Easter

baskets to support military families

who fall under the poverty line. A

cool thing which happened at the

event was that we were stationed

right next to the girl scouts, not

everyone wanted to buy the girl

school cookies but were willing to

donate to the marines! One ex-

marine donated 30 boxes of cookies!

My tenth and last issue. Dang. I can’t

believe it. I guess you could say that I

improved a lot over the few months.

My first few issues were nasty. Anyway,

thank you to all who have viewed

each of my issues! I really appreciate

it. I also really and truly appreciate all

of the officers and members who have

sent in articles and visuals every

month, or almost every month. I hope

you all enjoyed the ’12-’13 term with

your fabulous leadership team and

division board. It’s time to step down

and move on with our lives. I will

always cherish the memories I’ve

made as well as the new friends I’ve

been privileged to get to know. Good

luck with your AP tests and try to get

enough sleep! Eat breakfast. And

thank you for this acceptable term!

Roaring with Service,
