Hello Hippos! With school having re-
turned, many of us have reformed back to
our old ways of procrastination and nap-
ping after school. Whatever you prefer to
do, remember to remain focused and se-
rious about your education! For my fellow
seniors, I hope you have thought carefully
about your plans for college. Maybe we
will be applying to the same schools! To
everyone else; be sure to try your abso-
lute hardest in class and be sure to get
those extra-credit points when possible.
I’m speaking from experience when I say
that every point counts. In regards to Key
Club, many exciting events are rapidly ap-
proaching! In just a few weeks, on Octo-
ber 12th, Region Training Conference will
be held at Canyon Crest Academy with
Divisions 11, 21, 31, 37E, 37N, and 37S!
Hundreds of Key Clubbers will be there all
day! You can still buy your tickets! Trust
me, you won’t want to miss it. Fall Rally
will be on November 9th, where we plan
to bring home the spirit stick, and soon
after Fall Rally, we will be hosting a large
movie fundraiser-social featuring the 2nd
Hunger Games movie – Catching Fire! BEE
on the lookout for these exciting upcom-
ing events, and make sure to keep track
of your calendar! You won’t want to miss
any of them.

A WORD FROM OUR LTG

Bonding with our Kiwanis? Yes, please! This month, students of Patrick
Henry Highconnected with many Kiwanis members of our sponsoring club,
Grantville-Allied Gardens Kiwanis! To volunteering with them in various
events such as the Junior Wheelchair Olympics and Meals on Wheels, to
attending their weekly Kiwanis meetings over the summer, it only made
sense for us to support our Kiwanis club at their 2013-2014 installation!
And on September 6th, 2013, that was exactly what we did.
The installation took place at the beautiful Marine Room in Marina Village
Mission Bay that Friday evening. The view of the ocean was perfect for the
Kiwanis theme of Gilligan’s Island, a popular TV-show of the 60s. Dressed
up as our favorite characters from the show, and admiring all the intricate
costumes of all the Kiwanis members, the feel in the room was tropical; all
about relaxation under the sun! From the decorations all over the room,
this was not just a banquet, but the 3-hour cruise on the SS Minow!
After an hour of socializing with the Kiwanis members and SDSU Circle K
members that also attended, we sat down to enjoy the great food of Chef
Tina Martini, a regular at the weekly Kiwanis meetings. She showed off her
great cooking skills with her Gilligan’s Kahlua pork, Skipper’s teriyaki chick-
en, Ginger’s pineapple rice, Maryann’s Key Lime cupcakes, and the Profes-
sor’s tropical ice tea… it was delicious! Immediate past-president Gary
Blume did a fabulous job hosting the event, dressed up as Gilligan himself!
With parting words and thoughtful gifts recognizing several members, Gary
left his position with grace and a legacy. Lt. Governor-Elect Barry Kistler
also attended the meeting and installed the new officers of the year! We
congratulate Joe Huston (president), Antonio Orosco (president-elect),
Chrissy Tanoura (vice-president), Seren Huston (treasurer), Mickey Zeich-
ick (Secretary) and new board members John Chandler, John Crawford and
Gene Elmore and hope they have a successful year of Kiwanis!
Not only were several committee members and supporting officers recog-
nized… but the president himself! Gary Blume had the honor of accepting
the award of 2012-2013 Kiwanis of the Year for contributing his time and
effort into Kiwanis International and to his home club. Congratulations
Gary! You really deserved it! We look forward to working with our Kiwanis
more throughout the year and we hope that other clubs are inspired to do
the same! With his inaugural address, Joe Houston proved to us that he
would become a great President and an inspirational role model to us Key
Clubbers. All in all, the Grantville-Allied Gardens Kiwanis Installation was
very enjoyable and such a great experience! We can’t wait to come back
and see what is in store for next year!

MMHS FIRST MEETING

On Thursday, September 19, 2013, the Key Club at Mira Mesa High School held its first
meeting. The board members are ecstatic for the 2013-2014 year. It was great to see all
the new and old members. Each individual is either looking forward to a year continuing
their memories of Key Club or creating their first memory of Key Club. It was exciting
seeing all the people trickle into the room slowly, sitting down and joining the Key Club
family. The advertising proved to be successful, as the seats were filled and there were
overflow people standing in the back. Mira Mesa High School’s Key Club is looking for-
ward to a year filled with service!

RTC: SUPERPOWERS OF SERVICE

An event where Key Clubbers
from Region 1 and 2 get to-
gether to learn how to be-
come better members and of-
ficers for the future. Work-
shops are presented, ranging
from learning to use Pho-
toshop 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 bat-
tles will determine which divi-
sion deserves the spirit trophy
at the end. The theme this
year is Superpowers of Ser-
vice! We encourage you to
dress up for the event! A
dance follows after all these
tiring workshops to release
the stress. We hope to see
you there this year!

September Newsletter: 9/13/13 Club Fair & 9/19/13 First Meeting Patrick Henry High School had its Club Fair this
month! It was a really great way to advertise the objectives of Key Club and inform others of the benefits of join-
ing! We screamed at the top of our lungs and waved turquoise arrows pointing to our booth. Many curious stu-
dents came to look at our pictures and even signed up for more information! Our booth was so crowded, that we
overcame the booth next to us. Our sign-up sheets were jam-packed with potential members.
The following Thursday, September 19th, we also had our very first meeting! Right as we ran to the auditorium
doors, a handful of guests were eagerly waiting to enter. Four G.A.G. Kiwanis members, ten SDSU Circle K mem-
bers, one UCSD Circle K member, and two Key Club Alumni came to support us! When the doors were finally
opened and everyone was seated, all of the board members were in shock by the number of attendees, all the one
hundred seats were filled, entryways were filled, doorways were filled, and students were sitting on the floor! Dur-
ing the meeting, board members took turns and talked about what Key Club is, what Key Club can do for you, what
events we do, etc. We ended the meeting with a few informative and comical trivia questions! Overall, despite the
few technical difficulties at the beginning, everyone was entertained, informed, and excited to attend the next
meeting!
