Hello Robots!
District Convention is arriving soon! I’m sure that all of the attendees — newcomers and old timers — are just as excited as I am about going to the grandest Key Club event of the year. In this edition of the newsletter, I would like to discuss the Division 38 Conclave, District Convention 2012, and recognition at the District level. I would also like to share a neat Valentine’s Day service event that Highland Key Club participated in so that you all may try something similar to this when the time is right. I hope that you all can take advantage of this information to its full potential, and thanks for taking the time to read my newsletters throughout the year! :) Programmed for Service, Victor Ly Divisional Technology Editor

On February 4th, the Division 38 Conclave was held at the Happy Golfer in Victorville. After all
the candidates gave their speeches and were caucused, the winners were announced. The Division
38 East and 38 West LTG's of the 2012-2013 term will be Hanna Youn and Rashika Choudhary,
respectively!
All of you officers should get yourselves acquainted with Rashika, because you all will be working
with her a lot throughout the year in staying connected with the rest of the division and being
informed of all the events (DCM's, Fall Rally, DCON, training conferences, etc.).
Also, I would like to congratulate the other candidates that ran, Cecilia Nguyen and Johnathan
Heflin for doing so well. It was very admirable of them to put themselves out there to run for the
office of LTG.
Here you can see the current LTG, Peter Chor, with his elect, Rashika Choudhary (left) and a group photo
(right) of the elects, the current LTG’s, and the past LTG’s of the Division 38.

The 66th annual Cali-Nev-Ha District
Convention is coming up in less than
2 months, and the on-time registration
fees are due on March 2nd, while
the late registration deadline is March
23rd. Now is the time for clubs and
members to gather the necessary funds
so that they may attend DCON.
This year’s DCON will be held at the
Santa Clara Convention Center on
April 13-15, 2012. The theme is
“BEElieve — the Magic of Service.” At
DCON, thousands of Key Clubbers will
gather to celebrate a magical year of
service, elect the new District board for
the 2012-2013 term, retire the old board,
and install the new Lieutenant
Governors and District Executive
officers into their terms.
During Convention, Key Clubbers are
expected to attend all the workshops,
caucus sessions, and General Sessions. The exceptions to this case are delegates, Sergeant-at-
Arms (SAA), candidates, and the campaign staff of candidates. Delegates must miss a few
workshops on the second day of DCON because they have to attend the House of Delegates,
SAA’s must miss several workshops in order to monitor the halls, and the candidates, along
with their campaign staff, will not be attending some workshops and will be moving around
the convention center during the caucus sessions.
Division 38 West Key Clubbers are seen cheering
during the First General Session and in a workshop
in these two pictures taken during the first day of
DCON.

With the end of the year soon
approaching, the members, officers,
clubs, and even the advisors of CNH
need to be recognized and awarded for
their accomplishments!
There are 4 categories for
the awards judged at the
District level: Officers,
Individuals, Advisors, and
Clubs/Divisions.
Club Presidents, Vice Presi-
dents, Secretaries, and Treasurers can
apply for the Officer awards.
Key Clubbers that aren't in an office may
apply for the Individual Awards, which
consist of the Member of the Year and
Sandy Nininger awards.
Faculty and Kiwanis advisors can be
nominated for Advisor of the Year, Jack
Luther Hall of Fame, or the Marvin J.
Christiansen award.
Clubs contests can be entered by any Key
Clubs, and the awards consist of Club of
the Year, Most Improved Club, Club
Attire, Club Newsletter, Talent, and
District Project. A club's website is
automatically entered into the judging if
the club's Technology Editor submitted
the website to District Tech
Editor Elijah Kang earlier in
the year.
Applicants that meet the
basic criteria of each contest
will receive an Outstanding
award at DCON, and those
that go above and beyond
the expectations of the contest shall
receive the Distinguished awards.
The deadline for all applications is
March 2, 2012. Remember to apply no
matter what! The only time that you will
never have a chance at receiving an award
is when you put yourself out of the race
and do not apply!

contests and what to do to apply for
them, please visit

On Monday, February 13th, a group of us from Highland High School went to
the Rancho Village Retirement Center to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the
elderly. Our advisor, Mrs. Wright, and a few other members performed love
songs while the rest of us passed out our handmade valentines that we made
at the previous general meeting. We also brought homemade baked goods to
share with the residents there. We talked with the seniors, played with their
pets, listened to a WWII story, and even got a few of them to dance. It was
great to be able to share our talents with the amazing residents and to hear all
their incredible stories. I was proud to see how all the Key Clubbers interacted
with the seniors and truly showed how much they care. We will definitely be
going back soon!
Peace Sadorra
HHS President
A week prior to Valentine’s Day, the Highland Key Clubbers made over 100 Valentine’s
hearts. On February 13th, they went to the Rancho Village Retirement Center and gave
the hearts to the elderly.
