    Spruce

    ItUp!

    Benson Ho, General Member

    Oh la la . . .Service!` `

    After a long night spent with my co-family heads preparing for Familyevelations the next day, I had signed up for a service event the next morn-ng! Running on three hours of sleep, I somehow had the energy for Sprucet Up, an ongoing, light gardening service project at Daniel Webster Middlechool. The refreshing cool air and presence of enthusiastic newbies Ericahen, Duc Huynh, Jacob Virtusio, Steven Phong, Juliana Deer, and (somewhatew) Wilson Chen at this event definitely woke me up!

    I often describe Spruce It Up as a more novice gardening project, especiallyhen you stack it against the more physically demanding Stong Creek Res-oration. We got through the weed removal quickly and we were able to move ono other tasks. The site leader, Cynde, asked us to help plant daffodil bulbs inparticular plot of the garden. We all first began digging holes that were aboutalf a foot deep, seated the daffodil bulbs, filled the holes with water, and re-

    laced the holes with the dirt we initally dug up.Since I had to ensure that we all get back to campus on time for Family

    evelations, we left the site a bit earlier. Since a mere threepeople attendedhis service event last time, it truly excites me to know that this event hasecome more popular and more lively with all the new enthusiastic members!ever had I expected such a turnout for this particular event. I witnessed aromising start to this year, so now I anticipate a promising rest of the year.m proud of you, newbies! Keep up the great work!

    Fall Festival

    Duy-An Le, General MemberNatalie Yip, Historian

    Halloween:a time of horror and scare,but not for the Kiwanis Family!At Playa del Reys Fall Festival,CKI memberse out to help by working at various booths .We had volunteers help facilitate the jumpers and others worked the gamehs.Seeing the smiles on their faces made our day,and speaking of faces heres a report of what was taking place at thehs from Natalie Yip,who was leading the face painting.

    We also did face painting for kids.It was so cool because we were given 10 professional brushes perpainter.Our station had the longest line because everyone wanted their facespainted!.The easiest drawing was the rainbow.The majority of the kids appre-ciated and ran away happily with a fresh new face.

    When the festivites were all over,we rolled up our sleeves,tookbooths down,and called it a day.Fall Festival was a day where we made alot of kids happy and did meaningful service with immediate gratification.

    P.S.Shout out to that awesome Angry Bird face paint.

    Eight in the morning, yet there were already so many eager students waiting outside a large bus,ready to get their hands dirty and do some heavy duty service. We were short some seats when wearded the bus due to an unexpectedly big turnout of volunteers, but they found a way to get all of us to

    algrove Elelmentary School safely. When we got off the bus and walked to the garden, the first thing wew was an open area, with nothing but flat dirt amongst the walkway, a giat mound of dirt and a pile ofge rocks. The staff members were very efficient in allocating jobs to all volunteers as well as preventingy overload by controlling when to assign jobs. There were people shoveling the dirt from the pile to

    heelbarrows and people pushing wheelbarrows to the garden and finally people spreading the dirt tohere it needed to be. Everything went so smoothly and without a hitch; everyone was doing theirsigned job so well that it felt as if we, collectively, were a well oiled machine. At noon,we all took ach break, got food, stayed hydrated, and took a breather before they released the butterflies.ter lunch it was time to get back to work. Everyone there was so friendly and appreciative of ourlp and that made the strenuous amounts of work easierand much more worthwhile.

    All in all, by the end of the day, we realized three things: 1) We bond over good times, but

    e hard times also have the ability to bring people close to each other, even if youve never met.Though the value of service, leadership and fellowhip are great alone, only when you combine allree can you achieve a higher level of greatness. Service events that are led by great leaders go

    moother and more efficient, reducing overall confusion and frustration. Intense service projectsite volunteers together and they hold each other up. A charismatic leader will always have willingd able bodies gravitate towards them. 3) That huge mountain of dirt we saw when we first arrived

    as gone, and the empty garden was taking on a splendid shape. :)

    Service

    Pal-lo-ween took place in a huge airplane

    angar at the santa monica airport. in oneorner, a maze garden with places to take

    ictures and exchange tickets for candy and

    oys. in another, booths to play games to get

    ickets. in the middle was a giant black glow-

    n-the-dark maze. Lines of superheroes,

    itches, minions, and vampires formed in

    ront of every booth and section. smiles and

    aughter all around between children and

    arents dressed in costumes. Eager Children

    aited for their turn to get tickets to

    xchange for candy and prizes.

    Our job was to help the police activities

    eague run the event smoothly. we arrived

    efore the event started and got spilt into

    roups to be placed at different sections of

    he giant airplane hangar. in the garden,

    ome of us handed out candy and toys, while

    thers replenished the candy and toys to give

    ut. others helped to keep the flow going

    hrough the garden and took pictures of the

    ids and parents when needed. two volunteers

    tood at the exit of the garden to prevent

    eople from entering through the back.

    while the work was a bit tedious, we all felt acco

    plished that the small things we did brought smile

    the children. It was also pretty fun to see the cre

    costumes - one baby was a shark and another kid w

    full homemade Despicable me minion body costume.

    parents even matched with their children!

    This fun and safe environment for trick-or-trea

    has been a constant event hosted by the santa mon

    police activities league for the past 20 years. we

    proud to contribute to such an amazing safe-envi

    Each year our California-Nevada-Hawaii dis-

    trict, selects a specific service initiate in whichall clubs are encouraged to dedicate themselvesto reaching out and helping that respectivecause. This years District Service Initiative (Dsi)is Speak Out! (Anti-bullying). Thats why ourLarge Scale Service Chair (Sonya Apinyavat), theService Committee, and Ucla Circle K decided tohold an Anti-Bullying Fair at the Boys and GirlsClub at Santa Monica.

    On November 23, we left Ucla bright andearly. When we arrived, the staff allowed us touse a very large room and the tables out in theplayground. We decided that in the room wewould set up the games, which included Spin-the-Wheel, Ball Toss, and Dum-Dum Bouquet. For everygame, before we gave out the prizes to the child-ren we would read out a bullying situation and

    then asked them what they would do. In this

    was the Faces, the kids would take a paper plate, draw themselves, andon the back they wrote positive things about themselves. I also liked

    others but, these were my favorite two. :) Unfortunately, not as many children showed up as we had hoped,but nonetheless we still had fun! :) The kids were lots of fun to play witand at the end we played capture the flag and basketball with them. Thstaff was really sorry that not many kids showed up, but they werereally pleased with us, that they asked to come again! (They even offereus work study positions!) I really do hope we have the opportunity togo again! :)

    this room we also laid out a re-source table, with lots of pamphleton resources for bullying. Outside,we set up most of the craftingactivities. The purpose of theseactivities were to boost the self

    esteems of the kids and give themmore confidence. One of my favoritcrafting activities was the HappyJars, what they did was take con-struction paper, write happythoughts and then put them in aclear cup. Another one that I like

    ing. The Riff-Raff Rumble was about

    to begin, and I was ready to win! My

    team, Thieves (2), was the best and

    we won every single event. At least,thats how I like to remember it.

    After breakfast, we headed out to

    the first General Session, one of the

    most exhilarating parts of FTC.

    Cheers, screaming, and stomping

    echo throughout the room, and there

    is an energy that cannot be describ-

    ed in words. Its something every

    Circle K member should definitely

    experience.

    The rest of the day wasfilled with informative and entertain-

    ing workshops, more Riff Raff

    Rumble games, and a large service

    project. It was all very tiring, and I

    was very worn out by the end of the

    day from running around, cheering,

    and just having so much fun. But I

    had no time to rest, because, in my

    opinion, FTC only gets better after

    Fall Training Conference

    s a unique event for Circle K. For

    three days, our entire district goes

    all the way to a camp called Old Oak

    Ranch, and its a place thats freez-

    ng, difficult to drive to, and in the

    middle of nowhere. And yet its oneof my favorite Circle K events, and

    m so glad that I had the opportu-

    nity to go during my senior year. If

    you went, Im sure you agree with

    me, and if you havent, I hope this

    article will convince you to go this

    next year.

    After a long 8-hour drive, my

    car finally arrived at FTC late Friday

    night. We had unfortunately missed

    the opening session and a few work-

    shops, but it was a relief to finallyreach our destination. Some people

    stayed up late, but I turned in early,

    because I knew what awaited the

    next day.

    Although I have never woken

    up for an 8am class, I was up and

    ready to go by 6:30 Saturday morn-

    see old friends and meet new peo-

    ple. If nothing else, FTC is one of th

    best events since there are so man

    Circle K people to meet and build

    relationships with.

    FTC is one of the best

    events I have attened during my

    time in Circle K, and Im sad to think

    that it was my last one. However, Im

    so happy that I got to attend one las

    time, and I would highly recommend

    it to anyone who hasnt gone. FTCis one of the most cherished memo

    ries and Im sure it will be yours as

    well.

    the sun sets.

    After the second general

    session, FTC ended with a Club

    T-shirt Fashion Show, Campfire

    skits, and a huge dance. Each event

    was more fun than the last, and by

    then end of the night, I was exhaust-

    ed. However, I was also extremely

    happy that I got to attened such an

    awesome event with such amazing

    people.

    Really, the best part of FTC

    is the people. One of the best things

    about Circle K is that we have so

    many fellow members in so many

    different schools and different parts

    of the country. Its always a blast to

    On November 9, 2013, my friends andI drove to San Diego. We were on ourway to Ucsds 16th Annual MasqueradeBall. This was to be my third and finalime attending the party on a tripledecker yacht and I was super stoked.

    With my Venetian Black mask in handand my girls by my side, I knew thenight would be one to remember.

    We were the first ones from Ucla toarrive at the harbor so we got in lineor the rest of the club. I had brought

    my camera and was snapping awayevery picture worthy moment withmy friends. Everyone wanted a picturewith their date, their cubbies, their fa-milies, their mentees and their lines.Shortly after, we were ushered inside

    the venue and told on to put ourmasks on for Mask hour. We immedia-tely made a beeline for the top deckfor some breathtaking views and pic-ture spots where we lingered for quitesome time. Then, we decided to venturedownstairs to the photobooth to take

    some more pictures. By that time,Mask hour was over and we headedthe dance floor.

    My friends and I managed to secure a good spot on the dance floorand danced the night away. The music was amazing!!! I knew at thatpoint, this was where Im supposedto be, at Masquerade Ball, with myfriends having the time of our liveand that feeling was liberating. Yeeeeeah! :) The rest of the night passeby quickly and soon it was time toleave. We didnt want to go, but wewere tired and wanted our beautysleep. It was a night well spent.

    Family RevelaonsFamily Revelations was a big day for the incoming new members for Circle K. It w

    the long awaited day when everyone found out which family they were in. But it wouldbe that easy. Our MD chair, Billy Shollenberger, made sure of that.

    At the start of the event, all members went through the registration process and re-ceived a die. The dice were everyones agenda fro the evening. The colors on the sideswere different for each member. The number signified which activity was taking place,while the colors indicated which group the holder would go to. With 6 sides and a mu

    tude of colors, the dice would lead everyone to their families. But the question on everyones mind was: which side represented my family?

    A variety of games were played that eveningThe first of which was Boom Chicka Boom Bothe second was Line Up! The third activity was twist. Everyone had a white thrid side. Could it

    that everyone was in the same family? Of coursnot. Billy trolled everyone with an 8-clap. Thefourth was Do you Love your Neighbor. The

    fifth game was Unique and Shared.At last, the sixth and final side of the die. The members congregated with their fin

    colors. Surely, this would be the family. There were no sides left. But as I mentione

    earlier, Billy is a troll. The members were instructed to open their dice, where they wou

    find their actual families.The family heads gathered with their new cubbies, their new family. Introductions wmade. Tears of joy were shed. And then, to learn more about each other, everyone playTwo Truths and a Lie with their families. Next, the families were tasked to create afreeze frame skit while the rest of the club tried to guess what was going on. The famdisplayed a variety of memorable scenes, from the final battle at Hogwards to bowling

    The final event of the evening was a competition based event, where each family hacreate something that represented their family using the materials provided. The finalproducts were judged by the nice Leonna, the chill Billy, and the douchebag Ben. Justkidding, Ben just judged too hard. Finally, the event wrapped up and families were left mingle and take picutres. Presents, ranging from classy monocles to yummy cupcakes,were handed out to cubbies by their Family Heads.

    Family Revelations was a long event, and a lot of fun. It may have taken a while discover ones families, but I was good to see everyone mingling and meeting new peop

    Round 2was the same drill. e students who took a tour aed the workshops and the workshop aendees had the chance to sthe beauful campus. Aer the sessions were over, there was a specanel consisng of someone om each grade level, a college graduat

    nd guests om other colleges in our division. Before that, howeverthe winning school got to reap their reward. West Covina originallyhose Billy for the task but in the end, all four board members prov

    that they were definely members of Ucla Cki Twerk Team.

    Crazy Kompetition for

    fants (CKI) South was the

    rst district event of the

    ear for UCLA Circle K. Thisvent is all about having fun

    r a good cause. As all of

    he proceeds collected from

    his event are donated to the

    ediatric Trauma Program

    PTP), one of our District

    undraising Initiatives (DFI).

    or me, it was filled with

    onding, games, cheering,

    nd meeting loads of new

    eople. For the games, I

    tomped on peoples ball-

    ons, wheel barreled across

    he grass, jumped rope, did

    ome relays, met up with

    some old friends and met new

    ones as well. Who knew jump

    roping could be so physically

    exhausting... Afterwards, wehad lunch where we ate deli-

    cious hot dogs made by local

    Kiwanians and had the oppor-

    tunity to mingle with other

    members in Circle K.

    At the first we were

    bummed out that none of our

    teams made it to the finals. It

    turned out to be an error and

    that one of our teams, Team

    Cutthroat 2.0, scored the most

    amount of points during CKI

    South to qualify for the finals.

    Not only did they qualify, but

    after playing a series of cap-

    ture the flag games, THEY

    WON! Congratulations Connie,

    Billy, Jun, Sonya, Derek, and

    Suraj! You guys were awe-

    some. To be honest, I knew

    about a dozen people fromour club prior to the event.

    After the event, I left knowing

    two dozen more. Shoutout to

    team Wrecking Ball! I would

    definitely do this again next

    year!

    On Sunday, November 17, the MetroDCM (Divisional Council Meeting) took place in

    Wilson Plaza. Before the DCM started, many school in the division were already

    there so it was a great time to get to know members of other schools Circle Ks.

    The DCM opened with a large icebreaker that consisted of choosing an animal

    and finding a group with the same animal through a series of body motions. After

    the ice breaker was over, the meeting officialy started with roll call of the

    schools, followed by past events and future events. During the presentation, I

    learned about many fun events across the division such as the CSUN Latern

    Ceremony.

    After the DCM concluded we used the second hour to complete a service

    project, making turkeys, and we raised money by pie-ing the Metro Lieutenant

    Governor (LTG), Charles Balcom. The turkey making was very fun because there

    were no set instructions for it; they ranged from hands to snowman shaped

    turkeys. It was also a great time to talk to members from other schools becausewe had to share the supplies and throw around turkey decoration ideas. The

    other event was pie-ing the LTG as well as the divisional officer that raised the

    most donations. Ramon Esquivel had the privilege of being pied due to having the

    most money in his jar. Although Ramon was only pied once, LTG Charles Balcom

    was pied once for every dollar. Dont miss your chance to come out the the next

    DCM; there are always fun events and socializing opportunities!
