Reminders:

Why did I pick Ethan as Member of the

Month, you may or may not be asking

yourself? LOL

I picked Ethan because of his dedication

and commitment to Key Club. He has

passed out agendas at every meeting, he

seems to be getting to know new members,

and he is always welcoming. Ethan is

committed to service. That’s the way it’s

supposed to be. Being a Key Clubber is

about service and commitment. Ethan has

shown his commitment through his passion

and Key Club values. Congrats Ethan!! :D

The New Board Going Back in Time: Past Events

School Clean Up By: Celine Endy

Today’s Key Club School Cleanup at Clark High School was really exciting. I had to wake up

really early on a Saturday but it was going to be a blast. We have so many new members joining key

club! Everyone split off into groups to pick up trash with gloves on our hands. My group was Margaret,

Connie, Shirley, Catherine, Sam, and Jenessa. I met a couple of people while we picked up trash. I

was surprised Sam had the guts to pick up a guy’s underwear off the street. At least the street is clean

now and nobody else has to pick it up. (:

After we were done, we had filled up one trash bag. I felt really pleased that we all helped to

clean up the school because we are doing a favor for the faculty especially the janitors. Then we

had a friendly competition of “I’ve Got Spirit Yes, I do. I’ve Got Spirit, how about you?” cheer. I was

glad to see everyone screaming loudly. The DOWN cheer is one of my favorites although it is kind of

awkward going down. hahaha

If anyone saw me cheer then look at my legs and shoes, it was because I had a lot of ants

crawling up my legs! Did anybody else have ants? I am really scared of bugs of all kinds. I’ll be the

one screaming and running away. How embarrassing!

Anyways, I saw that a lot of the freshmen were embarrassed to cheer. Come on freshmen! I

was really thrilled though at the first meeting that some had the guts to come to the front and cheer.

It makes me proud. I give those freshmen props. Haha I hope the freshman get used to all of our

cheering. It’s a big part of key club (other than community service of course). Cheering is a lot of fun

especially when cheering with all of your friends. It really shows how much spirit you have. They better

be ready for RTC because Clark is going to win!

Car Wash for American Cancer Society By: Carl Lai

Park Social By: Kyle Wong

The Park Social was great! I got

there a little late, around 1 minute, haha.

The first thing we did was discuss the rules

of the water balloon fight. We could only

grab 2 at a time, and we couldn’t throw

them right when we got them, even

though we did! It was pretty crazy

though! I dumped water on Bryan and

Roshan (: The whole fight only lasted

around 5 minutes. Since the water

balloon fight ended earlier than

expected, we decided to play capture

the flag. They served us hot dogs and

chips, and overall it was pretty fun!

The car wash was fun! It wasn’t the

perfect day to have a car wash, because

the weather forecast predicted rain. It's

funny because we all thought it would

decrease the amount of cars that we

washed, but it actually caused more cars

to come, after the sun came out of course.

The car wash started off slow, but once the

sun came up, it got going. The jobs were to

wash cars, make signs, and advertise on

the side of the street. It was fun, spraying

each other with water, while still getting the

cars washed!

The members gather for a quick lesson on a new cheer.

Members diligently wash a customer’s car.

Going Back in Time: Past Events

PB&J Sandwich Making By: Ethan Nihipali

On September 23, 2011, Clark Key Club

had to belong in the kitchen.

After school on Friday, September 23,

2011, a variety of students in Clark Key Club

have signed up to a fun event, making PB&J

sandwiches for the homeless. With 25 pounds

of peanut butter, 25 pounds of jelly, and TONS

of bread. After setting up tables in the

cafeteria, all of us got a pair of gloves, and

two plates, one filled with peanut butter and

one filled with jelly. In my group, it was Alexis

Acob, Ashley Hill, Sam Tao, and myself. Ashley

would spread the jelly on one slice of bread,

and Alexis and Sam would spread peanut

butter on one slice of bread (because the

consistency of it made assembling

sandwiches slow) and they would do epic

high fives to put together the sandwich! Also,

I bagged the sandwiches and then, an

officer would carry them over to another

table. In half an hour, we made what

seemed like countless sandwiches, and we

ran out of peanut butter and jelly! We also

had bread left! Oh well, we did a good thing

for the homeless, and this event was so much

fun.

"Brent, we belong in the kitchen." - Alexis

Going Back in Time: Past Events

Ronald McDonald House By: Olivia Ho

The Ronald McDonald House event turned out to be pretty fun! It was my second

time doing the event, and both times I had a good experience. For the residents, we

made Greek food. Bryan was the one in charge of the event, and altogether we made

stifado, stuffed peppers and tomatoes, salad, spaghetti, and lightly seasoned potatoes.

For dessert, we made chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate cake, and red velvet

cake.

At first, we were only planning on making the first three dishes, however, we

found out that we would need to make more food for about 25 people. Luckily, their

pantry was available to us, so we made use of it and cooked more food. I would

definitely do this event again in the future.

Clark High School Blood Drive By: Yuri Kim

The blood drive was held on September 30, 2011. As usual, it was held in the

auxiliary gym. Students over 17 years of age at Clark High School got to get out of their

class to do something for a good cause, which was to donate blood. Members of our

Clark Key Club helped sign in donors and made jelly sandwiches so that the donors

wouldn't faint. Some of them also went to people’s classes who signed up to go and

get them in case they forgot about their appointment. After a long, hard day, there

were 119 units of blood collected, which was a total of 357 lives saved! This event is

really meaningful, and knowing that even though you feel weak and drained, in the

end, you were able to help save a life!

Conclusion

President’s Message

Hey Key Club!!! I can’t believe it’s been a whole month. :O It’s crazy to think how much

time has gone by. You guys have shown amazing effort this month and have made me the

proudest president. We served over 800 HOURS!!! :OOOOO We BEE COOL!

This past month we have had car washes for charity, school clean ups, socials, the first

committee meeting, elections, blood drives, and so much more. It’s crazy to think that it has

only been a month. I’m so proud of all your hard work and the leadership that some of you

have shown. It makes me a proud president. :D

I would like to give a special congratulation to the class of 2015. You guys have shown amazing

effort and spirit for this club. I know it is sort of overwhelming, but I am beyond proud of all of

you. Thank you for all the work you have put into this club over the past month. I can’t

encourage you more to stay with this club for your entire high school career.

Key Club is not easy. We work hard. We volunteer for long hours. We fundraise like crazy. But Key

Club has offered me a great experience in high school with good memories. It has changed me

into a leader. Key Club has shaped me to the person I am today.

So let’s have a great year Key Club. Let’s build this year up with excitement, spirit, and service.

Let’s make a difference Key Club, because caring is our way of life. Let’s show what our club

can offer this community. Let’s win at RTC and Fall Rally. Let’s do more service than any other

club. Let’s BEE the greatest Key Club!
