Hi guys!

I am sosoosososoSOOOO excited that it is finally December! Long breaks,

snow days, ugly Christmas sweaters, ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas, hot

chocolate, I could honestly go on forever. There are so many great things about

not only the holiday season, but the service season! Along with December comes

our Key Club’s annual Holiday Circle! Holiday Circle is an event held at Daven-

port Elementary School for little kids that go there. The day consists of fun

games and lots of dancing and food. I will proudly say that Holiday Circle is my

favorite Key Club event ever! This year has upheld my love for this event and

went flawlessly. Thanks to Cody Kiedaisch for being our Santa Claus this year! I

hope none of the kids see this, do kids even believe in Santa these days? Also,

thanks to Major Emphasis and Advocacy Committee for preserving the great

Holiday Circle and providing some delicious pretzels. Shoutout to whoever made

those peppermint cookies, I love you.

One of the games at this year’s Holiday Day circle was “Pin the Nose on

Rudolph!” The kids had a lot of fun spinning around and even laughing

When they missed! Thanks to Recognition Committee

For creating such a cute Rudolph!

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Key Clubbers!,

I hope everyone is just as excited as I am for Winter break!

The new year is coming, and that only means that we

have new projects and possibilities coming up with our

club. Elections will be coming up real soon, so if you are

interested for a club or district position, please contact me

or an officer as soon as possible! It is a great way to gain

leadership and communication skills as well as making

friends. I would also like to mention that Holiday Circle was

amazing, and I would like to thank our Major Emphasis/

Advocacy committee for making this all possible. It truly

was a wonderful event, and I'm glad that we were able to

continue this annual event for another year! Thank you for

everyone who came out to volunteer for this event and

also to those who donated food/drinks. This wouldn't have

been possible without your generosity. Our next event will

be Volleyball-A-Thon, and I know everyone is looking for-

ward to that! It would be great if you could all start think-

ing about creating teams together. Remember that it is

first come, first serve, and we only have a limited number

of teams that we are able to accept. I hope that every-

one has an amazing winter break and ends up being re-

freshed ready to participate in more projects for 2015!

Yours in Caring and Service,

Kenneth Ye

ARE YOU INTERESTED

IN RUNNING FOR LTG?

One of the great things about Key Club is

all of the leadership opportunities it pro-

vides! A very important and greatly covet-

ed position in the Key Club hierarchy is

Lieutenant Governor. The job of the LTG

is to be the messenger of sorts for High

School Key Clubs and Kiwanis. Every

LTG is assigned a district that contains a

couple of High Schools. These schools

become a family of sorts under the care of

their governor. Being the Lieutenant Gov-

ernor of a district requires a lot of organi-

zation and public speaking skills. Running

means that you are ready to take responsi-

bility for a whole district. Although elec-

tions are a little ways away, it is never too

early to begin preparing! Even if you run

and don’t get the position, the experience

itself will allow you to run for another

leadership position when the club’s elec-

tions come up! Winning the election isn't

always going to happen but the experience

you’ll get from it will definitely help you

greatly in the future! If you’re interested in

this position, feel free to contact any of the

officers with questions and also make sure

to speak to Dianna Torres, our current

Division 1B LTG! (pictured to the right)

MAJOR EVENTS

HOLIDAY CIRCLE Holiday Circle is one of the biggest events that our Key Club

holds every year. It is an event held at Davenport Elementary

School for the kids that go there. They spend the whole day

playing not only with their friends, but with Santa Claus and a

lot of our volunteers! The event itself started at 9 o’clock and

included freeze dancing, Santa Says, and many other games!

There were also a lot of arts and crafts stations that were

around the cafeteria! Stations such as snowman popcorn

cups and reindeer food making were a hit! I asked many little

kids if they were having fun and all of them agreed and were

excited to come next year! It’s great to see that our club has

continued to make Holiday Circle a memorable event for not

only the elementary school goers, but the volunteers that par-

ticipate in the event! Thanks to everyone who also came in to

setup at 7 am and stayed after to help cleanup! I hope to see

you all again next year, I know I’ll definitely be there!
