One year has gone by so fast. As
DCON approaches, I know that my
"retirement" also nears. It's been quite
a fantastic journey with all you Jellies!
From first voting on our mascot, to
breaking awkward silences between
the members, to winning the spirit tro-
phy at RTC, placing in the top 5 for
spirit in session 2 at Fall Rally South, to
now. It's going to be bittersweet as I re-
tire on stage and our elect for this divi-
sion, Brian Duong, gets installed. This di-
vision is like my child, sort of. And it is in
good hands as the time to transition
approaches!
Though the Key Club year may be
winding down, service sure doesn't!
Continue to serve! Continue to recruit!
And continue to enjoy your experienc-
es with this organization, division, and
club members. It's been an honor to
serve this division!
There’s one month left until DCON. Three months left till our
school year ends. Six months ‘till I venture off on my own, in-
to College, the next chapter of my life. I still can’t wrap my
mind around it. So far I’ve been accepted into CSUSM,
CSUSF, and Pomona. I’m waiting for UCLA, my number one
school. Hopefully, and I’m praying that my portfolio (which
includes these newsletters) will pull me through and get me
accepted. March 23rd is when they’re announcing ac-
ceptances, wish me luck! :D
Anywho! Key Club International recently release a new
package of graphics that members can use! So I decided
to change the newsletter cover and changed to a different
styled layouts. If you have any ideas of what I should d for
next month’s newsletter, PLEASE send me an e-mail to
[email protected], it’ll seriously help out a lot. Espe-
cially since I procrastinate every month and wait till three
days before the newsletter’s due. :P Aside from that though,
if you’ve been to any events recently you should DEFINITELY
write up a blurb or recap about t (include pictures) be-
cause those also really help out with the creation of these
newsletters you see every month.
BUT ANYWAYS, This newsletter has a lot of useful information
for club officer elects! Also, we have a bit of info for DCON
and upcoming events! SO READ IT, OR BE TRIANGLE.
Were you recently elected for an officer position?
Make sure you’ve begun your training and if you
haven’t yet, talk to the current officers of your
school! There is also a lot of information online re-
garding your roles and duties as a specific officer!
You’ll be able to find information on
www.cnhkeyclub.org and also our division’s web-
site www.d37east.com.
It is very important for you to learn your roles and
duties as an officer, if you have any questions re-
garding the position, ask your president or send an
e-mail to our current LTG, Justine.
The end of our Key Club year is near which means
our Division Banquet will be coming up sometime
in June! Keep your eyes open for the facebook
event a week or two from now!
Each club should be hosting a Club Banquet
where all of your members should attend. At this
banquet you should be handing out signed certifi-
cates for those who completed the required
amount of service hours. You should have been
given these certificates when you received the
mail for official new members.
Have you heard? Our Division’s LTG Elect for next
year is BRIAN DUONG from San Marcos High
School! Read more about him in the next couple
of pages! But, a new LTG means new Division Offic-
ers! If you are interested in applying for the position
of Executive Assistant or Tech Editor e-mail
[email protected]. If you want to learn
more about these positions before applying, visit
www.cnhkeyclub.org.
Summer is a GREAT time to visit your Kiwanis Club
because there’s NO SCHOOL! Your Kiwanis Club is
vital to your club because they sponsor you and
help pay for many costs. Get to know them,
they’re actually the most spirited and insanely
amazing adults you’ll ever meet.
The school year is ending soon but that doesn’t
mean Key Club is ending with it. Officers, you
should start planning for summer volunteering
events so your members can attend. Do some
beach cleanups and have a beach kick-back.
Volunteer at some marathons. Get any many
hours as you can this summer!
So, I’m making a film for our end of the year ban-
quet about an overview of our year which will in-
clude interviews of ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO BE A
PART OF IT! So, if you want to be included, send me
an e-mail at [email protected] and we’ll
plan a date and a location!
When: April 13-15, 2012
Where: Santa Clara Convention Center
District Convention is a time when we come together as a district,
celebrate and recognize a year of service, elect our new district
officers, and prepare ourselves for another year of unBEElievable
service. At the 66th Annual District Convention in Santa Clara
from April 13-15th, I'm sure you'll feel the overwhelming magic of
service along with the other 3000+ attendees at Convention.
There are workshops, keynote speakers, service expo, a caucus,
governor's ball, alternative activities, and the Walk for Life. There
is definitely something for everyone to learn about and enjoy at
DCON!
Attendees are expected to wear spirit wear on Friday, business
attire on Saturday, and business casual on Sunday.
Our theme for DCON this year is: BEElieve - the Magic of Service,
and on behalf of the District Board, I want to ask you, "Do you
BEElieve?" Register today!
The purpose of the convention is to elect executive officers; pro-
vide education and training for members, officers, and advisors;
recognize the achievements of members, clubs, leaders, and ad-
visors; and provide an event for our family—CNH Key Club—to
come together for fellowship and celebration.
Take part in and witness the election of the
new executive board for our district!
Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate
maternal and neonatal tetanus. This deadly disease steals the
lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of
women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating —
tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme
sensitivity to light and touch. To eliminate MNT from the Earth,
more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be
immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, trans-
portation, thousands of skilled staff and more. It will take US$110
million — and the dedicated work of UNICEF and every member
of the Kiwanis family.
The Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation works closely with our partner
hospitals to provide funding to train pediatric doctors, nurses and
first responders, to purchase much-needed pediatric medical
equipment and to create or expand community outreach pro-
grams. All of this is only possible due to the generous support of
our clubs and members. Donations earmarked for PTP are spent
in three major areas: grants to our partner hospitals; grants to Ki-
wanis and Service Leadership Program clubs; and PTP safety
items which are available for purchase by the Kiwanis family at a
subsidized cost.
When: July 4-8, 2012
Where: Orlando, Florida
The Key Club International conven-
tion occurs annually in July. The purpose of
the convention is to elect the international
officers, review accomplishments of the past
year and set policies for the coming year.
New programs are announced and national
speakers participate. Members from every
club should attend each year.
For my first year attending DCON, I expect thousands of energetic Key Clubbers from all over California, Ne-
vada, and Hawaii to come together to celebrate Key Club by getting to meet other members and by learn-
ing more about Key Club International as a whole. I'm excited for the workshops, the inspirational speeches,
the nice Key Clubbers from various divisions, the unique division shirts and lanyards, and the spirit battles. I
learned about DCON through my Key Club officers, my Lieutenant Governor, and my many friends I have
met this year. The thing I want most out of this experience is to fall in love with Key Club all over again by see-
ing how Key Club is in the district level. I am so excited for DCON that I feel so proud to be a D37E jellyfish!
ANNAMAE LAGDAAN SAN MARCOS
To put into words how excited I am to go to Santa Clara for a weekend with a bunch of amazing Key Club-
bers: I do not think I can. Basically, it is spending the weekend with the most amazing youth in Cali-Nev-Ha.
Meeting new friends, getting closer to existing ones, and just getting all that Key Club good feeling. That and
I won't be judged if I talk about tumblr for extended periods of time: because all of Key Club has tumblr: that
is why the servers go over capacity so much. My expectation for DCON is to overrun the tumblr servers with
the massive amount of fun we have. (Tumblr Nerd).
KENNETH JOHNSON MISSION HILLS
With this being my first year going to DCON, I am extremely excited for it! I first heard about DCON through
my school Key Club, and my enthusiasm toward it grew tremendously. What I really look forward to is meet-
ing so many new and dedicated Key Clubbers from CALI-NEV-HA! I realize that Key club is huge, but once I
go to DCON, I think I’ll finally realize how many students legitimately involve themselves in the community
through Key Club. Key club means a lot to me and to find people with the same passion gives me the urge
to do more! I can’t wait for April and I can’t wait for DCON!
PATRICK GILLES SAN MARCOS
DCON is the ultimate definition of Key Club. You get to meet fellow Key Clubbers, participate in workshops
and dance at the governors ball. It's going to be a great experience that I hope I never forget!
ERIC TRUONG SAN MARCOS
At DCON I expect to learn more about key club and meet new
people. I'm excited to see how DCON works and what goes on
there. I learned about DCON through key club.
MONICA ORTEGA ORANGE GLEN
The thing i am most excited about is definitely meeting new
people. I hope to get to know everyone in the division. I am
excited to learn about what it takes to become a successful
officer. I learned about DCON from members who went last
year. I expect to have a good time and to learn new things.
Yvette Solano ORANGE GLEN
I expect DCON to be an amazing experience where I get to
learn more about leadership, our district, and experience the
love from all of CNH! I know that I will be blown away from the
massive love and spirit at DCON. I'm not sure what I want most
from it, besides for it to come sooner and not to end too fast.
I'm really looking forward to it as bittersweet as it may be. I'm
glad I can go with my new Jellyfish family and my school. This
year has been an amazing ride and I can't think of spending it
with better people!
Brian Meredith SAN MARCOS
I expect DCON to be lots of fun! I am extremely excited to
meet new people, and get to bond with my division! (D37e). I
believe that this will be a great opportunity to really get to
know the people which i will be working with for the upcoming
year. I learned about DCON through the key club meetings.I
feel like this is going to be an amazing experience and i will
learn a lot from it. What i want most from this, is to be able to
say say that :1) I thought about new ideas which will benefit
and expand the club, 2) gained lots of spirit, and finally, met
people like me, who are passionate about making the club so
much better that it already is, and also "caring our way of life!".
Nedy ORANGE GLEN
I am excited to meet new people and form
new friendships. I learned about this years
DCON by attending the club meetings at my
school. I mostly want to feel at the end of my
experience as though my time at DCON was
spent productively and like I could use some
of the skills I learned at DCON, not only with
key club, but also in everyday life.
Melisa Romero ORANGE GLEN
I'm excited for what DCON is really about and
how important it is to attend when being an
officer or a upcoming officer. I'm hoping to
learn more about Key Club, Kiwanis, and how
other school are running their clubs and how
we can learn stuff based off other clubs suc-
cesses. I want to get more leadership skills
and dedication by attending DCON this April.
Alexis Castillo ORANGE GLEN
As a returning member for DCON I expect a
lot of Spirit from other Key Clubbers. I'm excit-
ed to meet new people and learn from them.
I learned about DCON by being an active
member. I want to become a better person
with more passion for service, and of course
to be pumped for the upcoming new Key
Club year!!

To My Fellow Key Clubbers and Kiwanis family! My name is Brian Duong and I
am going to be your lieutenant governor of 2012- 2013. I am a member from
San Marcos High School. I’ve been in Key Club ever since the beginning of
sophomore year and I’ve been hooked on ever since. Key Club is the light
of my life!
Now to get to know me! I am Vietnamese and I was born in Fountain Valley,
California; however, throughout my life I’ve moved countless times from Cal-
ifornia to Nevada to Missouri to Louisiana and the list just goes on and on.
I’ve met many different types of people and I love the whole feel of it. Be-
cause of this, I think this is why I love Key Club so much. There’s such a great
variety of people and I just love meeting them all.
Some things I love to do are dance, swim, travel, make people laugh, cook,
listen to music, sing, and eat! Oh boy! Do I love to eat. I favorite food would
be anything involving bacon, there’s just something about bacon that
brings me comfort when I eat it. Also, I enjoy sushi very much. I know some
people think sushi is gross due to it being raw fish, but to me sushi is delicious!
My favorite type of music is hiphop and r&b, more specifically I like Mack-
lemore; for those who don’t know who he is, he’s a great rapper making his
way up. Dance is definitely one of my favorite things to do (with the excep-
tion of Key Club of course). It helps me relieve stress, express myself, and just
have fun.
I will try to do my best during my term as D37 East’s Lieutenant Governor. Re-
member, I am here to serve not only our community, but you too. I will be
here to be of service to you- members of D37E Key Club and everyone in
my Kiwanis family.
