D41S Newsletter: November 2012

With the passing of Fall Rally, the realization of Fall is finally

hitting full force! With the memories of Halloween and Fall

Rally just pass, the Thanksgiving Holiday is jumping right at

our toes! But before we get too ahead of ourselves, we

really need to take the time to take care of ourselves! Even

though I feel I have no right to really be enforcing healthy

habits, as I am sick myself, be sure to KEEP WARM! Especially

to those who went to Fall Rally, the season of cold has

seriously CREPT onto us, and our luxurious days of 80 degree

year round weather is finally folding to being kept to under

a brisk 60 degrees. It may sound insignificant to our East

Coast friends, but do keep warm, as YOUR health becomes

before all else—you can’t help anybody if you can’t help

yourself! In addition, keep GETTING SLEEP! This fall break,

really do take the time to take time for YOURSELF! As we

Lions are always used to keeping busy, don’t forget to take

“me” time and unwind and relax! Especially you senior

Alpha Lions—be sure to not just think college aps, but think

SLEEP!

Additionally, with Thanksgiving here as a reminder, we ALL

need to really take the time to give THANKS for everything in

our lives—from family and friends, to mentors and mentees;

be thankful for all your successes and triumphs, but also be

thankful for the bumps and bruises you’ve learned from, be

thankful for what you have, and be thankful for what you

can give—as, I can speak on behalf of the community, we

all are truly thankful for everything that you do: from waking

up before dawn to attend an event, to bearing the

weather to volunteer your time, to humbly helping another,

to willingly spend your valuable days serving your

community. I want to thank you all for making an impact on

my life, as you all have helped open doors and clear

windows in my life. I honestly can say that Key Club is

perhaps the best experience as I am humbled by your

selflessness and your dedication and spirit; I am forever

inspired by you all and I am forever grateful for having a

change to serve the best of our generation.

With December just around the corner, I can only wish that

we continue to finish our term how we started it: STRONG

and with PRIDE!

On the Prowl for Service,

Hannah Tuong

Lieutenant Governor

Selling Raffle Tickets [VP]

[President]

Fundraising with PTSA

Laguna Hills Key Club helped out their

own school by selling raffle tickets at a

home football game. The raffle tickets

were a fundraiser for the school. Many

Key Clubbers came out and it was a fun

event, especially since they could get

into the game for free. Plus, the work was

not tedious and afterwards they could go

and watch the game with their friends.

Not many raffle tickets were sold, even

though they asked people politely and

they declined repeatedly, but Laguna’s

Key Clubbers and head ASB parent were

satisfied with their work and the amount

of raffle tickets sold. Laguna Hills Key Club

continues to volunteer and help their

community one step at a time.

On Saturday, November 3rd, we helped

the PTSA sell raffle tickets to fundraise for

our school at Nellie Gail Gallup Park. From

1-4, PTSA set up a little event where

anyone could come. Not only this, but we

also sold Chick-fil-a which they shared with

us after. There’s nothing better than free

up, it was still great to develop a better

relationship with our school and the PTSA

so they could help us out later on with

fundraising and such. We plan on having

more events with our PTSA in the near

future.

On Saturday, October 20, Tesoro Key

Club Members volunteered at the

Ladera Ranch Candy Hunt at the Town

Green in Ladera Ranch. The purpose of

this annual event is to celebrate

Halloween with the community and to

give the kids an extra opportunity to get

some candy! The Key Club members

had fun scattering pieces of candy and

watching the kids try to find them. They

also helped out with monitoring the hay

ride. Some members even stayed

afterwards to help clean up. Overall, this

event was a great success and the Key

Clubbers really helped brighten the day

for the kids of Ladera Ranch.

On October 9th, Capo Key Clubbers

dressed in medieval apparel and

volunteered alongside knights in shining

armor, medieval musicians, and

blacksmiths. Key Clubbers were

stationed at various craft stations and

booths, assisting visitors with activities

and directions. It was amazing to be a

part of an event where people

marveled at the artifacts from the

Middle Age, learned about the history of

the medieval times, and enjoyed the

music of a variety of medieval

instruments. Being that the event was

close to Capo Valley High School, it was

a wonderful experience to help out in

our local community. Capo Valley looks

forward to volunteering at future

On October 20th, hundreds of Mission

Viejo residents gathered together to

raise awareness about the

consequences of drugs at the annual

Walk against Drugs event. Capo Key

Clubbers hosted a game booth at

the event’s fair, offering candy prizes

for winning our home-made carnival

games. Although the weather was

gloomy, Key Clubbers’ enthusiasm

and spirit never faltered. I was happy

to help our community at this event

while raising money for PTP through

ticket sales. Volunteering at the event

also allowed me to meet some of

Capo Key Club’s new members.

Overall, the Walk Against Drugs event

was very memorable and fun, and I

look forward to volunteering at it

again next year.

Boo Blast

On Saturday, October 27, members of

Dana Hills Key Club volunteered to work

at the annual Boo Blast hosted by

Moulton Elementary School. Members

helped man different activity booths as

well as food and ticket stations and

helped to set, make, and organize the

event’s Halloween-themed decorations.

All of the proceeds made at the Boo

Blast are donated to Moulton

Elementary to help its students learn with

field trips, school events, and new

technology. The turnout was sparse, but

the Key Club members who did come

made a difference with their winning

attitudes and Key Club spirit!

Hufflepuff and Stuff

On Sunday, October 28, I volunteered

with Key Club at the Dana Point

Halloween Half Marathon, part of the

Orange Man running series. In the

Halloween spirit, the event coordinator

had everyone help decorate the stations

with cotton cobwebs and orange-black

tablecloths. Even the winner’s podium

was placed behind a spooky miniature

graveyard. The Key Club volunteers

managed the post-race food station.

Armed with cutting boards and some

colorful cutlery, we divided bananas,

oranges, and bagels into bite-size portions

that attendants could eat on the run. I

think the best part was seeing so many of

the runners come in their Halloween

costumes. Nothing beats a carrot huffing

On October 20th, Heritage Hill had

its annual Harvest Festival. There

were lots of fun game booths like

the bean bag toss, shooting hoops,

and ring toss. There was also a

balloon artist who made really cool

Halloween animals. The booth I

worked at was face painting, which

was really fun because I have never

painted faces before. In addition,

all the kids there were dressed up in

their best Halloween attire and

everyone had a smile on their face!

Tournament in the Hills is an annual

marching band competition hosted by

Trabuco Hills, and it is one of the campus’

biggest events of the year. The THHS music

program hosts this competition as a

fundraiser in order to provide enough

money for transportation, instruments, etc.

This year’s competition was held on

Saturday, November 3rd, and it was TITH’s

20th anniversary! So there was a lot more

work to be done. It wasn’t just Key Club

that was helping out (although we did a lot

of legwork!)—a multitude of clubs from all

over Trabuco (such as CSF, the Music

Boosters, and Spanish Honors Society) put in

effort to make sure the event ran smoothly

and successfully.

The event ran from 6 AM to midnight, and

our Key Clubbers were there all day. It was

a great way of helping the music program

and community.
