Hello Hippos!
This month in particular has been a
very rough time for my family. I
just wanted to thank everyone, es-
pecially you Key Clubbers for al-
ways having such high spirits! You
really do show that there is always
a GOLDEN lining in everything, no
matter how devastating things may
seem.
On another note, now that summer
has began, remember to remain
ACTIVE in your volunteering! Sum-
mer is the best time to rack up all
those hours -- what else were you
really going to do, anyway? I hope
to see a lot of participation during
break. Remember to apply that
sunscreen and enjoy yourselves!
See you at the DCM!

PAST EVENTS
The Vista Grande Fair is a large event that takes place annually in
the sunny month of June. Here, families from all over Tierrasanta
gather in support of a local elementary school. Understanding the
significance that this event holds on our home community, Serra
Key Club has stepped up to offer our assistance.
For 6 entire hours, Serra Key Club worked non-stop under the
beating heat of the sun. From games ranging from an ear-
wrenching balloon popping competition to a traditional bean-sack
toss challenge, we worked quickly and efficiently to get through
the never ending line of excited kids waiting to play the game.
These kids, after all, are the very children that this event has dedi-
cated itself to so passionately support.
Although this event was no piece of cake as it required us to be on
our feet and moving for the entire duration, it was undoubtedly a
rewarding experience. From the smiles on the kids faces to the
parents expressing their appreciation for our volunteers, it is unde-
niable that we have contributed to the success of this event. Serv-
ing our local community, after all, is what Serra Key Club does
best.

On June 8, Serra Key Club held our annual end-of-the-year banquet to celebrate an amazing year of service! With more than 200 mem-
bers and over 2000 hours served, we just had to celebrate! The event included catering from Phil’s BBQ, and special guests of the
event included our local Kiwanis members as well as former Serra Key Club Alumni Edward To and Isabella Tran. The banquet was one that was simple, yet bittersweet. Along with the impeccable barbeque we had catered, the banquet served as a
reminder of everything our club stands for. From the humorous club awards that were given away (which included the “Tuong Lang
award” and “Best Weave”) to the powerpoint featuring all of the successes that we have achieved as a club, we gathered together as
a family for the last time to recognize the bond, unity, and accom-plishments that we shared as a club. This banquet was a knot--a knot that has sealed the end of a com-mendable and unforgettable year.

An event where Key Clubbers from Region 1 and 2 get together to
learn how to become better members and officers for the future.
Workshops are presented, ranging from learning to use Photoshop
to learning how to keep their school’s Key Club running. In between
the workshops, Key Clubbers get together to show off their spirit
through their mascots and cheers. These spirit battles will deter-
mine which division deserves the spirit trophy at the end. A dance
follows after all these tiring workshops to release the stress. We
hope to see you there this year!

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
TECH EDITOR’S CORNER Yo, Hippos! I do apologize for the late newsletters so far, but I
promise it won’t happen again. There are a lot of complications
this month for me to submit it on time. But it’s here, nonethe-
less. School’s out this month, but service still does not stop
there. There’s plenty to do during the summer to give back to
the community, so hang on tight there, Key Clubbers! Hope your
summer’s going well, too~
Stay Frosty,
Estella Hoang

LAST MONTH’S QUESTION
What will you miss about school when you go
off to summer vacation?
Seeing my friends
everyday on the
weekdays!
Summer vacation is a relaxing
getaway from all the stress
from school. However, once
summer starts I realize that
I slowly become a potato
couch. I miss seeing all my
friends on a regular basis
and laughing everyday dur-
ing lunch.
