AUGUST

Monday Night Concerts

"Throughout the month of August, members of the Claremont Key Club came together to help the Claremont Kiwanis Club at their weekly Monday Night Concerts. The Claremont Kiwanis Club provided food for people who attended the concerts and funded the bands that played at the concerts, held at Memorial Park in Claremont. Members arrived at 4:30 in the afternoon to help set up for the concert and to prepare the toppings for the food that would be served during the concert. They peeled and diced onions, set out condiments, cleaned trays, and cut tomatoes. When the concert started, members helped at the concessions stand, where people could purchase food and drinks to enjoy during the concert. As people placed their orders, the Key Clubbers fetched drinks, assembled orders of hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, and pulled pork, and helped to put condiments on food. When the concert ended around 8:30, members stayed behind to help clean up, bringing all the leftover food inside to be put in the refrigerators and wrapped leftover hot dogs and hamburgers in aluminum foil. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and it was a great way to become more involved in the community."

"This first in-person DCM since the beginning of quarantine did not disappoint. From forming 'ponchos' and dance-battling one another, to hitting our lovely Executive Assistant Gerard in the face with cream pies, this karaoke night was more than just singing (which we passionately did too!). I personally met a bunch of new Key Clubbers and formed stronger relations with the Kiwanis there. What’s more, the event was hype enough that I, a usually quieter person, started dancing and singing until my voice was hoarse! This DCM was truly an amazing night for D15N, and a testament to the dedication of our wonderful Division Leadership Team."

AUGUST DCM

"On August 28th, Division 15 North hosted their August Karaoke DCM. This DCM was like no other because it was the mark of the first in-person DCM since the Covid-19 pandemic. Enthusiastic key
clubbers lined up at the door for entry and then the Kiwanians gave a speech on why key club is so special, leaving many of us inspired. Members then engaged in icebreakers where they showed off
their dance moves and shoved pie in Gerard Day’s face. After, pizza and other food were served, each club announced their updates and goals for the month. August awards were then given and the
night began, with songs being played and voices being lost from so much singing. Key Clubbers danced the night away and lit up their sky with their cell phones while throwback songs played.
Without a doubt the night, ended on a high note."

JULY

Sierra Vista Garden Event

"On July 17th, Key Club members woke up bright and early to help Sierra Elementary School make a new community garden! Upon arrival, Key Clubbers were split into separate groups: mulch scooping/ towing, rock painting, and landscaping. Throughout the day, members from across Division 15 North came together with Upland-Foothill Kiwanis and staff from Upland Unified to create the start of a mini garden for the children. Some shoveled mulch into wheelbarrows to cover up the landscaping tarp while others helped pin down the tarp. Despite the excruciating heat, the garden was able to come together after 4 hours of hard work and sweat. Neighboring grocery stores were also generous enough to provide this service project with granola bars, drinks, and snacks!
     Events like these will slowly start to pop up throughout the term as things slowly open up, which means very exciting news for Key Clubbers and Kiwanis alike!"

Food for Friday Meeting

"On Friday, July 9th, Mr. Cano invited all the Division 15 North club officers, the Division Leadership Team, and the Division Task Coordinators to his house for a Food for Friday meeting. I thought we were going to have a three-hour-long meeting but I was very wrong! When we arrived, I met Mr. Cano and Mr. Frayer, and then we waited for more officers to show up. When everyone showed up, we played Jenga and Uno. After playing multiple rounds of Uno and Jenga, we were provided dinner. Everyone was able to choose if they wanted hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, soda, and water. After we ate dinner, we played musical chairs and then our meeting started. We first introduced ourselves, our school, our position, and what grade we are in. Then, Mr. Cano and Mr. Frayer talked about how to be a leader, future club/division plans, how to improve our clubs, and information on the Food for Friday event. To conclude, I truly enjoyed this meeting, loved meeting Mr. Cano and Mr. Frayer, and I loved that I had an opportunity to bond with the D15N officers." -Paramjot Kaur, Etiwanda

Super Service July DCM: "On July 30, 2021, members from all of Division 15 North attended the July DCM. The theme of this DCM was service. As a result, the latter half of the event was focused on doing various forms of service: Rock Painting, Paper Crane Making, and more. This new service focus has been done to help reach a certain service hour goals. After a certain number of hours have been met, a Division Leadership Team member will have to do a dare. As the event concluded, D15N members left excited to do service and make DLT members complete dares." -Gordon Chang, Rancho Cucamonga

Studi-OTC + June DCM: "On June 26, Key Clubbers from the Division 15s got up bright and early to attend OTC, Officer Training Conference, over Zoom! This term, the theme was Studio Ghibli. At OTC, members and officers were able to dive deeper into the world of Key Club and what it means. Many learned about how Key Club started and what the term “Safe Key” means to the CNH district during the general sessions. During the breakout sessions, the usual rooms for presidents/ vice-presidents, secretaries, treasurers, and editors were held. Once everyone came back into the main room, presentations on the entire Kiwanis family, how to improve one’s club, and member recognition contests were given. Afterwards, the lieutenant governors went around to different breakout rooms and presented their respective slides. Some topics included how to effectively communicate with adults and peers, how to transition back to in-person activities, and some of the goals and preferred charities of the CNH district. One last session of breakout rooms was held (which explored the different forms needed to be submitted by a club, public speaking, and what graphic standards are. In between these amazing presentations, love box notes were read out, which included JFK Key Club shooting their shot at our President Mina for a social! All in all, members learned a great amount during this term’s OTC despite being online. Hopefully, the next OTC can be in person!"

MAY

Kiwanis Track Event: "Throughout the duration of the 2019-2020 key club term, volunteering at an in-person service event with a magnitude of participants appeared to be abnormal considering the prolongation of COVID. However, Division 15 North’s first in-person key club event was held by our local Kiwanis club which hosts an annual community track meet open to twelve different elementary schools in the city of Upland. An early morning progressed into a stunning afternoon of assisting in the track and field activities, whether that include taking time trials, raking the sand pit for long jump, or announcing the outstanding achievements that some younger participants accomplished. In retrospect, this thrilling community event brought citizens and children within the city of Upland to participate in a friendly competition following the distressing nature of the lockdown; fundamentally key clubbers were given the opportunity to
unite a community of individuals as there are advancements in the reopening of the state."-Damien Martinez, Upland

Movie Night May DCM: "Getting to watch a movie in theaters hasn’t been possible until recently, but watching one via Zoom is just as exciting! On Sunday, May 30th, the Movie x Mukbang May DCM was held through Zoom where members of Division 15 North joined together to watch a Pixar movie. This DCM was not only an opportunity to bond and hear from the rest of the clubs in the division, but also to take a break from everyone’s hard work from the school year. At the May DCM, every club from Division 15 North provided their updates for past events, progress, and incoming plans. Afterward, different individuals and clubs were recognized and presented an award for their extraordinary accomplishments and hard work during the month of May. After presenting the awards, the Pixar movie “Soul” was played for every present member to watch. During the movie, every club member was welcome to enjoy their own snacks which made the experience much more fun!" -Diana Fernandez, Chaffey

APRIL

Etiwanda Merch Distribution: "On Saturday, April 24th, the officers and I planned a Merch Distribution day for members to come pick up their Key Club Items. The officers arrived early to Victoria Arbors and set up tables and chairs at the gazebo so our members could stay in their car safely. As we waited for members to show up, the officers and I just bonded and chatted with each other, of course still wearing our masks. A few Key Clubbers showed up and we handed their merchandise and they also gave us their service projects. Devin, President of Rancho Cucamonga Key Club, also stopped by and gave us a whole box of pizza! We all took a piece and stood at each corner of the gazebo, far from each other, and took a bite out of our pizza. As the distribution was coming to an end and still waiting for a few members to still show up, we decided to play a card game called Pic Flip! It was very competitive and a very fun way to bond with the officers. After the distribution, we packed up all our things and went to the park. There, we went on the swings and hung out a bit more before all the officers had been picked up. It was a great bonding experience with my officers and an easy way for members to pick up their merchandise, and hopefully we get to have a similar experience like this!" -Janine Lau, Etiwanda
