LTG ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello, Red Devils!

With just a few short

months left in this term,

now is the time to reflect

on our growth together as

a division and the chang-

es we have brought to

the community. New club

officers are installed, so be

sure to help eachother

succeed by using this time

before DCON to reflect

on the responsibilities of

running a club. Together,

we are wprking towards

leaving a GOLDEN lega-

cy. I’m so proud of you all

for the dedication you’ve

put forth over this term;

Stay strong in these next

few months, and get

ready to recognize the

great things we do as an

organization at DCON!

In burning service,

Leon Pan

Hi everyone!

Can you believe March is here? Guess

what's coming up?! DCON! I hope eve-

ryone has sent in their registration dues,

because District Convention is some-

thing you don't want to miss out on! Re-

member to keep fundraising for DCON,

because it IS expensive, but don't let

the price scare you. On top of that, let's

keep raising money for the Eliminate

Project! Keep in mind that every club

has their own goal to reach, so keep

striving and don't give up! If there's any

questions or concerns about ANYTHING,

don't be afraid to ask. I won't bite!

Hope to see you all very soon!

Vivian Chong EA

Hello Red Devils!

DCON is next month, and I hope many

of you plan to attend this event! This will

be my first DCON and I am so very ex-

cited that I am able to attend this year!

Please keep fundraising so you and

many other members of your club can

get a cheaper price to attend!

In other news, elections for club officers

have finally happened! I hope all the

new officers will attend DCON and be

inspired to be the greatest officers that

they can be.

Along with fundraising, please make sure you are reaching your community

service hour goals as well. It is im-

portant to fundraise, but it is just as im-

portant to help our community.

See you all soon! 5

“During The past Month, our club

prepared Valentine’s Day Candy

Grams as a fundraiser. During lunch,

we set up a table outside and tried

to gather people's attention in order

to sell the grams. The grams were

then delivered to the recipients on

Valentine’s Day during school..”

“College Park's main focus for the

past month has been fundraising

for DCON and organizing our of-

ficer elections. These have been

going well so far, and there will

be a significant increase in DCON

attendees in April! We were able

to volunteer at two crab feeds

and gathered tips which went to

alleviate the cost of DCON. Be-

sides serving food, we have gar-

dened, sorted food at the food

bank, and planned more logistics

regarding our Mini-Relay for life to

be held at College Park. “

Monica Willemsz, President

-COLLEGE PARK-

“Twice we have worked as waiters at a crab feed along

with the Kiwanis and Special Olympics in Pleasant Hill. The

first time we worked at the Crab Feed, things were

smooth with a total of 9 members. The second time, things

were a bit hectic due to an influx of 22 members. Howev-

er, we still enjoyed out job, especially in our dress code of

white shirts and black pants.”

Minami Tamano, College Park

8>> Club Updates & Community Service

“Our club has been staying busy with fundraising

and planning for upcoming volunteer services. We

have been collecting money for the Pennies for

Patients fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lympho-

ma Society, and we plan on finishing up and

counting the money at the end of the month to

turn in. We currently have a volunteer event com-

ing up with the Food Bank's Crab Feed, and or-

ganizing carpools for some events that may be

out of town. We also just finished our club elections

for next year's term and gave a warm club wel-

come (and re-welcome) to new, and re-elected

officers.” Lesliejane Pada, President

This month, we participated in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Ser-

vice at our school. This was a big volunteering event that our Key

Club played a huge role in organizing and participating in, and

we even had the mayor of Concord come by to speak to us and

see us work. This event was broken down into many different ser-

vice projects with work varying from gardening, organizing class-

rooms, and cleaning the campus and classrooms.

-Mt. Diablo-

-PITTSBURG-

“Our car wash fundraiser for DCON will be

during the first few weeks of March. We will

use some of that money to both donate to

Project Eliminate and for our DCON expens-

es. Key Club, Club Interact, and the rest of

the community service clubs at Pittsburg

High are also organizing a school rally to pro-

test against the WesPac oil terminal project.”

Roy Golingan, President

Pittsburg Key Club is continuing to collabo-

rate with Club Interact and other school

clubs to help spread awareness of this

WesPac project. Recently, we attended a

conference on planning this school rally

and contacting the news broadcasters to

come and televise the community’s con-

cerns. Together with the Pittsburg Defense

Council, our voices are being heard

through the community and especially to-

wards the city officials. We will continue to

protest against this project until it is de-

clared that it will not continue in the cities of

The Delta. In addition to stopping this pro-

ject, we are proposing alternative plans to

that target area such as a new park, or a

green energy source.

On January 26, 2014,

we gathered as a divi-

sion at Studio One Art

Center in Oakland, CA

to elect the 2014-2015

Lieutenant Governor. The

three candidates, Roy

Golingan of Pittsburg

High, Vivian Chong of

College Park, and Jen-

nifer Lam (our new 2014-

15 LTG elect) of Concord

High each demonstrated

their love for Key Club in

distinctive ways on this

fateful day. 10

“Wow…It still hasn't hit me that I'm

Leon's elect. Thank you for believing in

me and thank you to everyone who

came out to support me, along with

my amazing and tough competition,

Vivian & Roy. It's only a month and

some time until I'll be installed. I will do

my best to continue the legacy of this

amazing journey our division is going

through. Without a doubt, it's all of

you who inspire me to lead.”

At Division-wide events like Conclave

and our monthly DCMs, we get to

see Key Clubbers from all over the ar-

ea come together and work towards

a common goal. Together, we con-

spire in the hopes of creating the best

future possible for ourselves, our

clubs, and those who will follow in our

footsteps. Because of our unwavering

commitment to helping one another,

we progress forward every day. Att-

nding division-wide events is by far

the best way to stay in the loop.

The 68th Annual Cali-Nev-Ha District Convention will be

held in Sacramento, CA on April 11-13, 2014.

LOOKING AHEAD:

—DCON info—

What is DCON?

A district convention where all of

CNH comes together to celebrate

our achievements, learn new skills,

meet other members, and get ready

for the new term. In other words…

the BEST Key Club experience of your

life, hands down.

GOALS: “Our District Goals this year incorporate the gold-

en theme. As one district, our aim is 46,000 members. As divi-

sions, we want to work towards contributing to a goal of

$150,000 for Pediatric Trauma Program. As clubs, we want to

come together to serve 1,000,000 hours of service. As indi-

vidual members, we want to save 3 lives from maternal/

neonatal tetanus. Together, this will bring us to one GOLDEN

year. With your help, we will undoubtedly achieve these

goals and have more to celebrate when DCON comes

around!”

Victoria Lai, District Governor

“DCON was my Key Club mo-

ment. I went to the 2012 District

Convention and it completely trans-

formed my perspective on Key Club

and service. I came into contact

with the spirited energy of Key Club

through the amazing workshops,

and I got to listen to awesome, mo-

tivational speakers. Most important-

ly, I made memories with the friends

I made from all over the Cali-Nev-

Ha District.”

Hey Red Devils!

It’s nearly Spring already—can you believe it?! As we make the

seasonal transition, it’s also a time to notice changes happening

within us. This term we’ve seen an explosive growth of division-

wide service, commitment, and spirit. Now is the time for us to rec-

ognize all the great things we have accomplished—which we will

celebrate at DCON– and look forward to a future of continuing

this legacy. Keep your goals, both division issued and personal, in

mind and close to your heart over these next few months, and re-

member that your actions make a difference everyday. Keep

serving, Red Devils! I’m proud of you. Desiree Choe, DNE
