Moonlight Movies and More
EV, Upland, D15N
At the Moonlight Movies and Music event, I was given the chance to work at the snack bar with my friends and fellow key clubbers! I really enjoyed this event because I was able to meet new people and saw what it would be like to work in retail. Attending this event also gave me an excuse to leave the house and touch some grass, which made me feel like I was doing something productive with my day and away from my phone. This event is important for the community because it encourages people to spend their time outdoors and is a great way to fundraise money in a fun manner. It also gives younger people like me a chance to experience having a working job. Since the event took place later in the day, the weather was very nice and it was not too hot. To wrap up our experience, we got to see the sunset and watch a movie!
Color Festival DCM
AP, Temple City, D10N
Division 10 North celebrated the beginning of summer at their June DCM by having a blast, throwing colored powder at one another. During their June DCM, taking place at Smith Park in San Gabriel, they got to have a turn at festival games in color. We started off the DCM with icebreakers. Through numbering off, we were split into groups of four to be able to connect and meet new Key Clubbers through a photo scavenger hunt. On the list included tasks of taking a 0.5 group photo, creating “D10N” with our groups, taking a perspective shot, taking photos with trees and rocks, and many more. Appropriately named, “The Winners” team won this game.
Friday Nights at the Plaza
GH, American Canyon, D08
Friday Nights at the Plaza was an event held by the American Canyon Art Foundation, aiming to celebrate artists from middle school to professionals, as well as having live performances from local bands. Volunteers were able to help set up booths which housed information about community non-profits and local business. We also assisted in redirecting traffic to minimize parking lot congestion, and invited any other passerby to join in the celebration. After having everyone settled in, we contributed our energy onto the dance floor, bonded with the Kiwanians present, and grooved with the music!
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!!
June DCM
BQ, Marysville, D39
Division 39 is a growing division. We are prosparating beyond what I expected before. We have had great success contacting clubs. We have learned that we have POWERHOUSE clubs! Our June DCM had an attendance of 30! It was virtual due to the issues presented as people couldnt attend. We also did a Cards for Saint Jude service project remotely. Members created inspirational cards to hand out to charities in the community.
