Anthony’s Back to School Tips:- Don’t procrastinate! Be sure not to wait until the last minute to do your assignments!
- Keep track of ALL your dates! Have a planner, calendar, or even a notebook to
keep track of all the important dates. (SAT, Service projects, etc.)
- Take breaks! With the amount of homework you’ll be receiving (ESPECIALLY
you upper classmen) be sure to take a break every once in a while! It’d be
terrible to be EXHAUSTED before Fall Rally even arrives!
Hi Everyone!
This month must have been one hectic month for
everyone! With school starting back up again and
everyone slowly getting reaccustomed to a new
daily schedule, I hope everyone is faring well!
It’s great to see that although there is such a big
DROP in how much free time everyone has,
officers still continue to plan out and attend
service events!
With so much less time to do your work, I’ve
made a list of tips on what you can do to have an
easier time getting back into school!
With less than two months left until Fall Rally,
what are you doing to get your club hyped up?
Be sure to start selling tickets and planning out
transportation, the logistics, and who will be help-
ing out! Be sure to contact your club officers soon
to ask about buying tickets! I also hope to see
everyone attend RawrTC on October 13th at
Cuyamaca College! If there’s any questions
about it, feel free to ask me or your division assis-
tant! I hope to see over 100 Hippos there so we
can claim that spirit trophy back from the Jellys!
I hope everyone continues to work hard as the
school year comes along! I’m proud of the
amount of service we’ve put in to our communi-
ties so far, so let’s continue to provide even more!
Good Luck!Anthony To

San Diego Heart Walk September 15

4:00 A.M. During this time,
nearly everyone, if not every-
one, would be lying fast asleep
within the comfortable con-
fines of their own beds, tucked
away and happily dream-
ing--with the ocassional night-
mare. However, In the morn-
ing of September 15, Key Club-
bers were waking up to the
darkness that filled the early
morning in order to ready
themselves before heading
down to Balboa Park to volun-
teer at the annual San Diego
Heart Walk. Key Clubbers from
all over San Diego--including
D21, D31, and D37S-- attended
the event. After checking in
and dining on a delicious
breakfast provided by the staff
of the American Heart Associa-
tion, Key Clubbers awaited
their assignments as the sun
slowly rose above the horizon
and illuminated the
once-black, morning sky. Once
the event started, Key Club-
bers disperesed throughout the
area in order to perform their
duties such as cheering on
walkers/runners, replacing
trash bags, and handing out
water bottles at the finish line.
Key Clubbers were left exhaust-
ed at the end of the event but
nonetheless happy for their
contribution to a worthy cause.

On September 9th, one
of the first
back-to-school service
events was on its way at
Scripps Park: the 82nd
annual Rough Water
Swim. Working alongside
the Kiwanis of La Jolla,
UCSD's Circle K and
D21's LTG, Anthony To,
La Jolla High School Key
Club worked to ease the
tension of the competi-
tive swimmers. Volun-
teers marked numbers,
registered competitors,
took off tags and sold
food to participants and
swimmers. With sunburns
at the end of the day,
volunteers had a blast
helping out everyone
from 9 year olds to
elders. The money from
sales and registration
goes back to the com-
munity through the
Kiwanis of La Jolla.

Letter from the Editor
Letter from the Editor Hello everybody. I hope all of you had a won-
derful summer. The new school year has begun and
the homework keeps piling on, but now is not a time
to procrastinate and fall behind. No matter the work-
load, you can always finish it all if you plan out your
schedule on which assignment to do and when to do
it and if you take time off your breaks in order to get
a little head start on your homework before you even
get home. However, don’t overwork yourself. Some-
times it’s better to take a break rather than continue
working for a long time.
Be sure you don’t miss out on attending the
various service events that are just around the
corner---especially RawrTC. The school year has just
begun, but Key Club is just getting started. Big events
such Fall Rally and DCON may be months away,
but it’ll come before you know it. I hope you all do
well this school year and enjoy it as much as possible.
Sincerely,
Travis ChangD21 Tech Editor 2012-2013
