Soy and Tofu Festival

AC, Oakland Key Club, D02N

During the month of July, we had one of our annual service events in Japantown, located in San Francisco. This event was a Soy and Tofu Festival, where members could volunteer and get more service hours. We had different tasks depending on where we were assigned and what our scheduled time shift was. It was definitely a great experience meeting new people from different organizations, while cooperating with the different tasks and much more. We look forward to many more spectacular services and getting to meet more amazing people!!

As well as, giving out awards to our club officer of the month, Regina Chamu, DLT officer of the month, Spencer Royer, and our club of the month Huntington Beach Key Club!! After the June DCM, the opening session was held in the school’s theater room. The opening session started off with a funny and witty parody of Princess and the Frog, which left smiles on faces all across the audience. In the opening session, everyone spoke in unison for the pledge of allegiance and the key club pledge. There was also an introduction of guests and the district goals. Furthermore, the workshops started for session one. This is where officers all across the board like Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers, and Bulletin Editors all received their proper training for their individual position. These workshops were led by our very own LTGs in each division. There was also a second session that covered a variety of topics that related to building core values of being a key club member, which consisted of workshops like public speaking, building keynections, service projects, and even professionalism. Finally, a closing session was held, which discussed our final region events coming up and final thank yous! Overall, OTC was a very informative and fun event, which ensured each and every officer is thoroughly trained and ready for a new successful term ahead!!!
