FAVORITE SERVICE EVENT: I think my
favorite service project would be Duck
Splash because it was probably the first
division event I went to when I started
key club, and I thought it was really fun
holding a booth and helping out with
the whole thing. I had a lot of fun
hanging out with friends, and seeing so
many cute little kids playing games and
enjoying themselves that day.

FAVORITE SERVICE EVENT: My favorite
service event was the AIDs walk
because it gave me the chance to
support a great cause and really get to
know other key club members during
the long walk.
WHAT IS YOUR
FAVORITE
SERVICE EVENT?
Hello dearest Key Club members! I
would like to start off by saying how
nice it was seeing a whole lot of you
during the summer at both service
and social events! Despite the fact
that summer is over and the new
school year has kicked in about a
month ago, I hope everyone
continues to serve with every
opportunity they get!
With that said, I highly encourage you
all to send in photos or your thoughts
on a service project to your
respective club editor! By doing so,
you’ll be sharing moments with those
who were unable to attend an event,
but also encouraging them to try and
make it to the next one. Furthermore,
every article gets published here on
the Division Newsletter!
So after reading this newsletter, I
hope you all take part in every event
you’re able to attend and send in
either a photo or your thoughts on a
project to your respective club editor!
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Eileen Wisco

FAVORITE SERVICE EVENT: My favorite
service event would have to be any event
with Child SHARE. Although our tasks may
seem simple from time to time (such as
inserting papers into binders) what we
make are given to foster kids who usually
receive hand-me-downs. We’re giving
them something they could call their own,
which I find to be quite precious.

FAVORITE SERVICE EVENT: My favorite
service event was the division beach
cleanup at Santa Monica for August
DCM. It was really fun walking along the
coast and picking up trash and meeting
new people, a lot of who are new to Key
Club. They were incredibly excited and
passionate on being a part of this
wonderful organization, and it makes me
happy to hear that they wish to help and
give back to the community with caring
and service.
AMI PATEL FUNDRAISING COORDINATOR
YEARS IN KEY CLUB: 4
FAVORITE SERVICE EVENT: My favorite
service event is Rose Float Decorating
because from cutting flowers to applying
them on the floats, every member makes
the parade happen. I receive a sense of
satisfaction knowing that I played a role in
the making of a float. Also going on the
scaffolding to decorate some of the floats
is so exciting; in my opinion this is an
unforgettable event.

On August 10th I had the pleasure
of participating in the annual Children's
Art Festival held by Paramount Picture
Studios.
Tying balloons, setting up tables,
and passing out flyers may seem like
tedious work, but really seeing the smile
on all the children's faces makes it
worthwhile. We got to meet some really
cool people and worked with other
volunteers who made this event
happen.
It was my first time participating in
this event, and I have to say it taught me
a lot about appreciating your
community and the hard work behind the scenes that is required to
give your family an event to
remember.

SALVATION
ARMY’S RICE AND
BEANS
I walked into the Salvation Army of
Glendale to help out at their food
sorting with cans. I was expecting first
that the place would have been filled
with bustling Kiwanians and Key
Clubbers sorting foods out like the Rice
and Beans the Salvation Army asks us to
help out at, but this time the event was
empty and quiet, save for a member
and two officers. I found the event to
be quite relaxing and enjoyable, and
also confusing when I kept mixing up
the cans from sizes. It was no trouble on
the other hand, most of the other
volunteers that came to help knew
what to do and I was relieved with their
assistance time to time. The next time
Hoover comes to help out, I'm positive
that I can be more efficient with
organization and make this task a quick
and easy one.
CHRISTIAN ACFALLE HERBERT HOOVER
We have partnered with the Salvation
Army of Glendale to help out at their
food pantry as a recurring event! On
August 16th, key clubbers were given
the task of looking for expired foods
within their shelves and tossing them
out. We found a huge number of cans
that dated back to 2006, so it seems like
the task at hand was important
enough. Overall it took about 2 hours,
but most of the cans were tossed and
neatly organized for the next pick up.
We hope to continue volunteering there
as a bimonthly event.
MAGY AVEDISSIAN HERBERT HOOVER
Working with a fantastic
organization such as Child S.H.A.R.E
is what keeps me working with Key
Club. Both organizations share a
common goal, and that's caring.
We were invited to help create
favors for the upcoming Gala
coming in September, and the
gala is one of the premiere events
that our club has to prepare for in
helping out because it is a formal
event with everyone being at the
top of their game. The members
and officers that came to help out
worked with just wrapping up
simple thank you gifts for the
guests, and my favorite moment
from helping out was when one of
their employees brought their dog
over, Bentley and he stayed in the
room with us occasionally licking
our hands from time to time. I can't
wait for the gala come up, it brings
a lot of people together that want
to help out children in need and
again, caring is what we all come
together for when helping
someone out.
CHRISTIAN ACFALLE HERBERT HOOVER
As Child S.H.A.R.E's fundraising
gala approaches, they need
to begin sending out the
invitations. Key Clubbers
gathered at their
headquarters on a Friday
afternoon to begin the
preparation of the invitational
trinkets (bottle stoppers),
which were finished in only 2
hours (There were around 250
invitations to be sent)! It is
always a pleasant experience
volunteering at ChildSHARE.
We get to work in a
comfortable area with very
friendly people, not to
mention a couple of pets also.
We will be volunteering at
their Fundraising Gala on the
13th of September.

CHILD SHARE
Key Club members from all over Division 3 South
gathered in Santa Monica for our second clean
up partnered with Heal the Bay. Because we
have adopted the beach for 3 different events,
we go over to our designated region and pick
up any trash left behind on the sand and in the
water. There was not as much to pick up as we
expected, but there was still a significant
amount. There was a large amount of members
who came from each school, totaling to about
70, making for a really pleasant and fun
experience.
MAGY AVEDISSIAN HERBERT HOOVER
The beach cleanup at Santa Monica was a
blast! This division event not only turned out to
be a fun event, but BIG. Around seventy
people came to help out and we quickly set
off cleaning up a couple miles north from the
pier on the beach and picked up trash. I got
to meet some new faces, and a couple of
revived clubs showed up as well to lend new
hands and being part of our ever-growing
ohana in Division 3 South. Walking back to the
pier (and at our meeting area) was my
favorite moment at the event, we got to bond
with each and walk along the coast as the
waves came in and water would pass through
our feet before going back into the ocean.
Clean ups are always the best, and especially
with an event such as this at Santa Monica, it
reminded me so much of the Region 7 Beach
Cleanup last month. I can't wait for the next
time the division comes back to cleaning up
the beach again, I hope there's gonna be
more people involved and make this even
more exciting!

DIVISION 3 SOUTH BEACH CLEAN UP
Division 3 South at Santa
Monica Beach for the 2nd
division beach cleanup and
August DCM (8/23)
The 3 South Wolves strike again! Our
division had the amazing opportunity to
partner up with the Santa Monica
Beach to "heal the bay" by cleaning up
their beach. Not only was the event fun
and relaxing, it was a great way to
bring service to our community. We
picked up trash along the shore and
held our DCM afterwards. The turnout
was great as we had more than 70
people attending, and I couldn't think
of a better way to spend my Saturday
than to bond and interact with my
division.
CHERRYN PARQUE HERBERT HOOVER
The Division Beach Clean-Up started on
a warm Saturday morning filled with
new and familiar faces. On arrival I
knew we were going to have a blast.
The moment we stepped foot in the
sand we established our headquarters
and began our two-mile walk to make
Santa Monica even more beautiful.
After the two-mile walk, we gathered
as a division to hold out monthly
Division Council Meeting where I
presented the club report for John
Marshall and our school was awarded
Club of the Month by the Division
Leadership Team! After other awards
were given, I assisted in
teaching/leading the cheers that our
division plans on using for this year's Fall
Rally South. Afterwards, I enjoyed the
rest of the day at the beach
celebrating a close friend's birthday,
socializing, and swimming until it was
time to go home and look forward to
the next division event.
ERNESTINE HONG JOHN MARSHALL
This being our first official Key Club event of the
school year, we were able to recruit a new group
of several enthusiastic freshmen and new students
to begin the month of August. Cleaning up the
beach with several other fellow Key Clubbers was
an enjoyable and rewarding feeling for all our new
members. Throughout the day, we were all able to
see families and different kinds of people enjoy the
beach while we were cleaning. Volunteering to
make the beach a more enjoyable place to the
public was a great feeling. We encountered
people who questioned why all of us Key Clubbers
were doing such a great deed without any actual
reward. We all knew that doing service for others
does not need a reward in return. Also, we learned
that public places are taken for granted when we
saw all the filth that was collected. We helped save
time for others and worked together to help
humanity enjoy the natural environment of the
beach. Being part of Kiwanis Key Club became
more appreciative to all members of Holy Family
throughout this first event.

The Summer Festival was held on August 23rd and was held at St. Ignatius Church. At the event we
helped the games and stands with all the people that attended the festival. Although it was hot, it
was really fun interacting with the community of Highland Park. Helping all the little kids with the
games and handing them prizes was the most fun. With enough luck you were able to work at the
dunk tank and let people pitch balls at a target to drop you in the cool water. After your shift you
were able to hang around and play the games for yourself. If you weren't in the mood there was
also food, music, and dancing. The festival was just fun and a really happy environment. All in all, it
was a great event and I will be attending next year if given the opportunity.
CARLOS SOLANO BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
The Summer Festival took place last Sunday at St. Ignatius Church. It was a fun event and I got the
chance to meet the Eagle Rock Key Club vice president. At the event our task was to either patrol
the festival, check-in volunteers, or manage the games. I got to both check-in volunteers and
manage games. As usual it was great to serve other people and put smiles on their faces. At the
event there was a lot of diversity in cultures. There was a variety of foods such as Mexican and
Filipino foods. It was a hot day but Mr. Keifer provided us with refreshments and tickets for food,
which was real kind of him. Overall the event was a success; we did our job and served to put smiles
on people’s faces.
GABRIEL TATLONGHARI BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
My experience at the Summer Festival at St. Ignatius Church was very exciting and fun. I had a great
time helping out many of the kids playing at the game booth. Not only do you have the opportunity
to help out the adults, but you also get the chance to meet new friends. I would definitely
recommend going to the events and helping out, it's a fun experience and you won't regret it. Don't
be scared to go to events. Sure, it will be awkward your first time but once you start being active
and social, you will meet new friends and you would start to enjoy every single moment.
