The New Board Going Back in Time: Past Events

June Park Social @ Desert Breeze By: Ryan Lim

June 11th, 2011 was the date for Clark Key

Club’s end of the year park social held at Desert

Breeze Park. At the social, those who wore

appropriate shoes (aka not sandals) played a game

of capture the flag with a twist. What’s the twist?

Marshmallows. Marshmallows were added into the

game in that each member was given one

marshmallow and could throw it at the opposite

team. If hit, you’re “frozen” in that spot. For those

who didn’t wear appropriate shoes (aka about six

people including myself), we used the spare

marshmallows to roast and use in smores. Eventually,

the game came to an end and we shared our

smore-making knowledge. Our group picture.

Fireworks Booth By: Shannon Austria

We had another Kiwanis Fireworks

Booth event this summer. Our job was to help

Kiwanis members sell fireworks to raise

money. Our location was at Patrick and

Rainbow, and throughout the 4 days that we

worked, we had many sales! The only

downside was the heat! But the tent where

we stayed had a water-powered fan, which

was pretty cool! Some customers decided to

go big and buy some of the larger packs of

fireworks, while others just bought smaller

ones. The event was pretty fun, and it was a

great opportunity to bond with some of the

Kiwanis members!

Going Back in Time: Past Events

General Meeting By: Carl Lai

July DCM By: Yuri Kim

The July DCM was held at UNLV this time around. I was a little late coming into

the meeting because I couldn’t find parking! However, when I came inside, I quickly

found a seat and listened to the three Lt.G’s, Steven Kim, Jarren Santos, and Aldrin

Santamaria present. They talked about what each of their divisions were planning to

do, and talked about the due dates of shirt designs for Fall Rally. We weren’t able to

cheer or be spirited as much, because of the UNLV student rooms around us.

Altogether it was a very informational meeting, and I saw other officers I knew from

other schools!

We had our first summer general meeting this past July 29th. It was the first that

Clark Key Club has had in a while. The turnout was pretty good, as more key clubbers

arrived than we had expected. We discussed some old business, as well as upcoming

plans for the new school year. We had a leadership activity that we unfortunately did

not have enough time for, but it was still somewhat educational. We had to assemble

into groups and were assigned different problems that we had to find a solution to.

After, we packed laundry detergent into little baggies as a service event for Street

Teens. It was a pretty good meeting, and we hope that future officers continue to

have summer meetings.

August DCM By: Markus Marquez

The August DCM was on August 19th

at Desert Breeze Park. I came a little early

to attend the Presidents’ Meeting, but our

President Brent Mayfield ended up

coming. After the meeting, our Lt. G

Steven Kim talked about future plans for

RTC and Fall Rally, as well as when the

freshman orientations of each school were

going to be. After all of the business, we

played ice breakers such as “Ride that

Pony” and “Baby, I Love You.” The DCM

was overall both information and fun, and

definitely prepared us for the upcoming

Key Club year.

Yard Sale By: Bryan Orden

We participated in a Yard Sale for

one of Miss Wong’s friends, Rochelle, on

August 20th. I arrived around 7am, and

helped Rochelle and her father set up their

garage. There were many cool vintage

items and great deals that were for sale.

Customers started arriving around 9am,

and by the time I left around 2pm, we had

sold a good amount of items. I had to help

myself and purchase a stuffed animal that

my friend also has, as well as an awesome

bag! It was a pretty fun event overall!

Freshman Orientation By: Ethan Nihipali

"Oh wow! This booth looks amazing, and everyone seems so nice! I want to join Key

Club this year!" says Alexis Acob, a new freshman enrolled into Clark. On August 23rd, Key

Club set up a booth at Clark's freshman orientation for new students to observe and gain

interest. Our club's goal was to attract many people to the booth and persuade them into

joining one of the most amazing clubs Clark has to offer, so in order to attract these

freshmen to the Key Club booth, I grabbed a friend along with some Key Club flyers and

hunted down the freshest meat in the school. Alex Dumitru (the friend I brought along) and I

ran from hallway to hallway, handing out flyers to random kids, and directing them to the

Key Club booth in the cafeteria. Many of these new faces looked at us as if we were crazy

but in the end, almost of all actually checked out the booth.

"So what do you think of most of the clubs here?" I asked a random freshman.

"Most of the booths here at orientation didn't really appeal to me, and the people standing

around them scared me a bit, but the Key Club booth, not to offend any other clubs, was

probably the most attracting one here. I was the first one to sign up too!"

I think Key Club is going to have a new group of dedicated members this year.

Ice Skating Social By: Winnie Ng

One of my favorite events to attend each

summer before school starts is the ice

skating social. It's a good time for us to

meet new people and welcome the

incoming freshman. It's also nice to be out

of this SUPER HOT Vegas heat. Hopefully,

the incoming freshman felt welcomed

and had just as much fun as I did. The best

part was having everyone look at us as we

were cheering. But hey, no club is as

spirited and fun as Clark Key club. Carl, Maroun, Winnie, and Markus pose on

the ice.

Ice Skating Social By: Celine Endy

On August 26, 2011, I attended the Key Club Ice Skating Social at the Las Vegas Ice

Center from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. This social was truly exciting. I was so pleased to see

all of incoming freshman key clubbers. Although I fell a couple of times, I had a blast.

Ice skating is one of my favorite hobbies. My favorite part is the feeling of the cool

breeze on my face as I skate faster. Every time I go ice skating, I take my close friend

Connie S. On that day, I introduced her to all of the key clubbers I knew. She showed

me Markus and I was able to meet him. I mostly hung out with the freshmen to get to

know them. I was able to talk to friends that I have not seen for a while like Maroon and

Winnie. Going to this social made me realize how much I miss school. It was a strange

feeling of missing school because I did not want school to start. After the social, school

was going to come by sooner than I thought.

Conclusion

President’s Message

Hello Key Club!

Did you have a great summer?! xD This summer we had a variety of events and

socials. It’s been fantastic. I hope you get settled in and back in the school rhythm

soon.

Anyway, welcome back old members and welcome to all of you who are new

this year. Key Club is an amazing experience and I think all of you will enjoy yourselves.

This year we will be expanding our service projects and doing more events this year. I’m

so happy to meet all of you new freshman and I hope that you stay dedicated to this

amazing club for all four years of high school. Key Club has not only truly changed my

life, but the lives of members and the people who we serve. It’s an amazing

experience and there is so much to do throughout the year. Your officers have worked

tirelessly this summer to ensure that you have a great experience.

The year will be filled with car washes, festivals, blood drives, rallies, spirit sessions,

divisional meetings, and so much more.

If you have any questions about Key Club please fell free to ask. Good luck!

Your happy and dedicated president,

Brent Mayfield
