Hello Kiwis!
Are you ready for March Madness? It‟s going to be an amazing month. We have now come full circle and it is
the 12th month of our term! How crazy is that?
Make sure to make the most out of the last few days of your term and make sure you accomplished everything
you set out to. Reflect on the goals you set in the beginning of your term and think about how well you‟ve exe-
cuted and accomplished them. Meanwhile, keep your elects involved so that they can be trained and learn
from you!
There are quite a few exciting events coming up, such as: Awake-A-Thon, We Day, Key Leader, and DCON!
You can still register for DCON! Talk to your club officers about it - late registration is due March 15th. In
addition, if you would like to apply for Executive Assistant, Division News Editor, or an appointed District
position, applications should be coming out soon, so look out for that!
Remember, we are the change. Together, we can do the impossible. Let‟s end our terms with a bang.
Deed of Kindness: Check in with people and ask about how things are going. You never know
how much caring can mean to others.
In Flying Service,
Division 2 Lieutenant Governor 2013-2014

American Indian Public: YOUNG CAI
“My favorite memory of Key Club would be helping out at the
Holiday Dinners. It was a bit hectic, but I definitely loved greeting
people and wishing them happy holidays.”
“I‟d want the powers to read minds because I would like to know
if someone is lying or not.”

Club Members of the Month
“Key Club is amazing. I love how there are so many different community
service opportunities. Helping the community and meeting so many new
people means a lot to me.”
“If I had super powers, I‟d want shape-shifting. I‟d want to shift into a llama
and have people wondering, „what‟s a llama doing at the school?‟ Then, I‟d
surprise them by talking. It would be like a real life KUZCO.”
Alameda: COURTNEY CHENG

Club Members o f the Month
“My favorite Key Club memory is when I volunteered at a Winter
Ball for special adults. I had a great time serving them, and I even
danced with them. We also had a little photo session and had a
train going on!”
“My superhero power would be teleportation so that I wouldn‟t
always ask for rides and I could get to places instantly.”
Arroyo: SHAYNE BUAC
“I like Key Club because I like hanging out with friends while serving
the community and being productive.”
“My superhero power would be having the ability to fly because I hate
walking.”
Albany: GALEN FOLK
“Key Club has allowed me to grow, not only as a leader, but also in the way
that i view my family, friends, and myself. It has taught me to become more
responsible and caring towards others.”
“If I could have a super power, the super power that I would like to have
would probably be elemental manipulation. Element manipulation is the
power to control elements so I would pretty much be just like an Avatar.”
Castro Valley: KEVIN PHAM

Club Members o f the Month
Oakland High: KEVIN HOANG
“I like that members can socialize with members from other
divisions.”
“My superhero would be something that can heal diseases be-
cause I know that there are many people who are suffering
from diseases.”
Oakland Tech: KRISTEN HUEY
“What I really like about Key Club is how nice everyone treats
one another and how we all have respect for each other. Key
Club is like another family to me that will never be forgotten.”
“My superhero power would be to fly. I always end up having a
blast and just getting out and hanging out with people that make
me happy. To have flying as a superpower would give me more
opportunities to make new friends all around the world and at-
tend more services for Key Club!
Encinal: STEPHEN OUYANG
“I really like Key Club because of its welcoming atmosphere. Eve-
ryone here is really friendly and accepting towards one another,
making this experience more enjoyable for all. It‟s just a really fun
way to meet new people while doing community service.”
“My superpower would be hands down the power to fly. It would
be so wonderful to be able to just travel the world at my leisure,
taking in all of the sights. Plus, I wouldn‟t have to spend money
for airplane tickets, which is an unbeatable deal.”

Piedmont: SARAH CHIN
“My favorite Key Club memory would be working at the Farmers‟
Market with Uhuru Foods because it was one of my first events
and I got to see what Key Club actually does.”
“My superhero power would be invisibility because no one could
be able to see me and I could do whatever I wanted.”
San Leandro: DANNY HUYNH
“What I like about Key Club is how nice and friendly the board members
are and the events that we attend.”
“My superhero power would be time travel/time freeze. I would like time
travel because if I miss out on something, like a Key Club event, I would go
back in time and attend it, and time freeze if I get into a situation where I
need more time to think.”

By Maya Shen , Berke ley
On a rainy Saturday, Kiwis arrived at Studio One Art Center to for the February Movie DCM hosted by Oakland Tech Key Club. Key Clubbers got up to date on division news and events and answered newsletter questions with donuts, in lieu of Danica‟s chocolates, as prizes. All proceeds from this event, from the admission fee and refresh-ments, went to Project Eliminate. The movie itself was one of Hayao Miyazaki‟s most well-known and beloved films, Spirited Away. A room was set up with curtains, blankets and a projector for the movie. Everyone had a great time watching the movie with their friends. Although I enjoyed the movie immensely, my favorite part of the DCM was definitely meeting some really amazing people from other clubs.
“The February DCM was the perfect way to
spend a rainy day: cozying up with a few of
my favorite people in the world, along with
some yummy snacks and a lovely movie.
My favorite art was being able to meet
new Key Clubbers after the movie, while
we were all fangirling about Studio Ghibli’s
movies.”
-Jeff Van, Castro Valley
“It was a wonderful experience
to be with the rest of my lovely
Division 2 community of Kiwis like
any other DCM, but what made
this one especially special was
that we got to watch a great
movie all together and raise
money for Project Eliminate!”
-Peony Chen, Albany

San Leandro Kiwanis Crab FeedSan Leandro Kiwanis Crab FeedSan Leandro Kiwanis Crab Feed
Kiwis from San Leandro Key Club as well as other Division 2 clubs volunteered at the San
Leandro Kiwanis Annual Crab Feed on January 18. Below, April Huang, the San Leandro Key
Club secretary, talks more about the event in detail.
Q: What did volunteers do?
AH: This is one of San Leandro Key Club’s most popular events. Knowing this, we had email sign-
ups; all 20 spots were filled up in under 2 minutes! Volunteers served various foods such as salad,
pasta, bread, and crab.
Q: What did you enjoy about this event and why?
AH: I’ve attended this event for the last 4 years and it just keeps getting better! I enjoy this event
because I am able to spend more time with my fellow Key Clubbers. We are given some time to
eat and relax before the event starts and there are always ice breakers such as “All Hands on
Deck.”
Q: What are some interesting or funny things that happened when you were planning the event
or at the actual event itself?
AH: There is unlimited crab served throughout the night and buckets of crab available for sale.
However, every year without fail, there is always at least one person that we catch putting crab
in a bag to take home. Also, I’ve served at many crab feeds, but I’ve never actually been to
one to eat. It is always interesting to me how people can bring large amounts of condiments
and sauces for their crab. I have even been asked if I could help melt someone’s butter.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to add?
AH: I notice that most members enjoy this event because of the people they meet. Whether it’s
someone from another school’s Key Club, or a super nice person actually attending the event,
the people are very friendly.

Alameda Key Club has been doing well! In late January, we volunteered at the annual Kiwanis Chili Cook-Off which was a terrific event where we got to work with our Kiwanians and get to know them more. We also got to try the various yummy kinds of chili. At the very end of January, we had our school Food Faire and we raised over $50 selling sodas and gorgeous cupcakes that were made by our Member of the Month. So far in the month of February, we've attended two events to celebrate Chinese New Year: The Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Oakland Museum of California's New Year Celebrations. Volunteers helped set up and work at hands-on arts and craft tables. Everyone had a fun time volunteering and enjoyed seeing the traditional lion dances! Alameda Key Club has also had an ongoing Teens For Jeans jean drive with LEO, Interact, and Sierra Club. The jean drive has just ended, but it was successful and we can't wait to donate all of these jeans to homeless youth across the nation.
AALAMEDALAMEDA
AALBANYLBANY The very exciting Chocolate and Champagne Gala took place early this month at our local community church. Everyone dressed all nice and volun-teered our butts off the whole night. We also had a fundraising event for DCON, a Valentine's bake sale. A bunch of Key Clubbers got together to bake cookies and other goodies. Sales were great and business was booming!

AARROYORROYO We have officially started our scratch card fundraiser, half of the profits will help members pay for their DCON trip if they are going and the other half will go towards the Eliminate Project. We raised $300 when we volunteered at the crab feed at The Boys and Girls Club with San Leandro Key Club. We are selling lime green socks for $3 to $5 dollars and the money we earn will also go towards the Eliminate Project. We are planning to have our Kiwanis Takeover on March 11th. We had 3 members go to the crab feed at the Greek Orthodox Church and we also volunteered for the Bay Breeze Marathon. We are searching for more volunteering events for February. We had interviews for candidates running for an officer position and they will be giving their speech on February 18th.
This month our club did not do many service projects but we did do tons of fundrais-ing. We sold gift cards for an ice cream shop named Cream in Berkeley, cupcakes from Encorecakes, and handmade things such as chocolate covered strawberries, cookies, and chocolate covered pretzels. We made over $200. Our service project this month was the 31st Annual Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Half Marathon and 5K Fun Run in Golden Gate Park on February 2, 2014.

BBERKELEYERKELEY
This month, Castro Valley held a club officer training conference for all Castro Valley Key Club members where the officers gave presentations and played ice breakers. We volunteered at the Castro Valley Elementary School Science night in which we helped run the Science night successfully and enjoyed helping the kids learn while having fun. Our club had multiple photo booth preparation parties throughout this month. The members of Castro Valley Key Club fundraised for Project Eliminate by holding a Valentine's Day photo booth for a week during lunch at school. Our club also had the Kiwanis pancake breakfast flyering event held at the Castro Village where the members kindly asked the stores around if we could post the flyer on their window to further increase the amount of people to attend.
CCASTROASTRO VVALLEYALLEY
This month, we had a great variety of events, with bake sales, Cal Basketball concessions, and peanut butter plans. Perhaps one of our most popular events was the basketball concessions, with many members eager to participate in the next concessions event. We're all looking for-ward to February, as we have a huge number of fundraisers, especially bake sales planned.

The club has definitely been very active this month. We started of by having the Chili Cook-off which turned out to be a huge success because more members attended than we expected. We also partnered up with St. Barnabas and are participating in their fundraiser for Lent, in which the profits that we gain from the rice bowls help the needy and impoverished people in second world countries. We have also been starting to discuss with Paden Elementary about the after-school tutoring program that we plan on initiating with them.
El Cerrito Key Club is off to a good start so far. Last week on February 4th, 2014, our presi-dent, Christina handed out papers to those who are interested in being a board member for 2014-2015. There were 5 people who were interested and our president interviewed them this Monday, March 5th, 2014. El Cerrito's Key Club's goals for 2014-2015 are recruiting more members, having more fundraisers, and have at least 2-3 events per month or per week. Also, this coming month, we will participate in our school's Spring Carnival where we will be fund-raising for our club.

For the month for February, we had participated in our school's campus cleanup. Where we were able to help beautify our school alongside do service! We also participated in Oakland High's "THINK PINK" day where the members of Key Club wore pink or red on Valentine's day to earn hours for our club. Every 5 members counted as 30 minutes towards 10 hours of service at school in order for us to do a fundraiser! Lastly, we had our elections and elected our officers for the 2014-2015 term.

During the month of January, we had a great amount of time planning events. The officers had many days to
group together and plan events throughout each month. Each event was part of a Key Club Wide Service
event or our very own event to raise a few bucks. Our first event in January was the Brides against Breast Can-
cer. At least 10 people went to the event and helped out the Brides with setting up. We had some fun during
the event. Some of the members were great at helping and being funny to help keep us going. This event was
mostly to bond together and help out community. The second event we had during the month of January was
Project Smile. Some members went in this event and had fun and helped out with the presents. They gave
great joy and help to the many people that needed it and put a smile on a lot of people‟s faces. Last but defi-
nitely not least, our last event of the month was Movie Night Sleep Over. It happened at our school, LPS, and
was a very successful event. Lots of people came to help out setting up and help get the movies working. We
raised $130+ on this event! It was the greatest and most successful event of January.

PPIEDMONTIEDMONT Recently, we volunteered at a habitat restoration event at Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline Park and also helped sort food at the Alameda County Food Bank. We are continuing to raise funds for The Eliminate Project through our biweekly bubble tea sales and are in the midst of plan-ning our badminton fundraiser. We had a great time at Conclave and the February DCM, and are super excited to attend DCON this year! Hope to see everyone reppin' tons of lime green!
This month, we had our elections. We're all extremely excited to train our elects for the upcoming term. We had our Berkeley Kiwanis takeover and auctioned off baked goods and services to fundraise for our DCON expenses. We hosted the February DCM, and as a fundraiser, we screened Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" and charged an admission fee as a fundraiser for Eliminate. We also sold milk tea at our school as another fundraiser.

This month, Skyline Key Club was a lot more tranquil in activities except.....WE HAD OUR ELECTIONS! Elections was a very exciting time as the officers were anticipating who would take their positions next year as most of the current officers were seniors. Fortunately, in two weeks, we have voted for our executive board and more excitedly, finished our book drive. Skyline Key Club collected over 850 books that we will donate to low-income schools throughout Oakland!!!!!! Our top three donors collected over 130 books each with the top donor donating over TWO HUNDRED books. As of now, we are fundraising even more through selling candy, recruiting more members as we prepare for next year, and planning out our March DCM.

March’s Service Initiative The CNH Service Projects Committee has created the Spotlight on Service Program to educate
Key Clubbers about Key Club International and service initiatives. A service initiative will be as-
signed to every month for clubs to focus on!
This month’s service initiative is...
Goal: To improve the health of mothers
and babies by preventing birth defects,
premature births, and infant mortality.
Statistics: Birth defects are the leading
cause of death in the first year of life. 1 in 8
babies are born premature. There is a
higher risk of serious disability or death the
earlier a baby is born.
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
Educate your peers on March
of Dimes and how they can
help ensure a future of healthy
babies!
Make greeting cards for new
parents, including information
about newborn screening
and immunization.
Sign yourself up to volunteer
or participate at a March
for Babies event.

Kiwanis Chili Cook-Off By Michel le Lau , Enc inal
Basically we set up for the event and everyone worked different things. Some did coat check, some did drinks, and others sold tickets. I really liked it because it was fun and we were able to help out and be with our friends at the same time. Also, the people there were really funny and energetic.
Towards the end of the event, some people got pulled onto the dance floor and it was hilarious watching them because they were so reluctant to go, but they got pulled onto it anyways. Lastly, the very end of the event was super funny too because they had us deflate the balloons to reuse for next year. Tim popped one while attempting to deflate by sitting on a balloon—it was hilarious!
School Campus Clean Up By Michel le Ha , Oak land High
On February 8th, we participated in the campus clean up event held at Oakland High School. It was a two hour event held on a Saturday morning. Here, we helped our school in many ways. Our jobs included picking up trash on around the campus, updating the school bulletins, fixing book shelves, taking down winter decorations, and more We had a fun time doing service while beautifying our school!

Elections! Preparing for
new leaders
Every year, club officers run frantically in circles as the club elec-tions roll around. It's time to elect the new executive board, and how else do we help to ease the anxiousness that the candidates feel, other than to constantly reassure them that everything will work out the way it should. February 14 and February 21 were exciting days as Skyline Key Club held its elections for the new executive board for the 2014-2014 school year. As paid members sat in their seats and quietly waited for the president to make her announcement, everyone were waiting in anticipation for which group will be the next exec-utive officers.
To president Lena Chen, however, the elections were more than just to seeing members holding the power to elect their next board of leaders.
“I was able to see many underclassmen take the opportunity, whether they were an officer already or not, to learn to grow into the leader that they want to be through Key Club,” Chen said. “Key Club has taught me many things as holding an officer posi-tion comes with a handful of responsibilities. I feel happy seeing that my peers are willing to step up and take on the responsibili-ties as officers to better help out community.” First, Allan Qin, current vice president of events, was nominated for club presidency. After his nomination was seconded by several others, Qin made his speech about how much Key Club meant to him.
“I really want to increase interactions between my sister-clubs,” Qin said. “I hope that would increase both membership and service hours. Of course, that‟s not all, but that‟s my big goal as of now.”
Other officers were soon chosen. With both Armando Pena and Andrew Ho nominated and running for Vice Presi-dent of Admin, the two young men made a speech about what they would do for Key Club. Pena expressed the fact that as he was Hispanic, he would be able to bring more diversity to the club, a point that resonated with everyone. Pena received the position, and next, Jessica Yorn was nominated as secretary. Yorn received the position with an al-most unanimous decision. However, the bell soon rang and the first part of the elections was over.
The next week, Andrew Ho was voted as Vice President of Service; Isaac Ramos became Treasurer; and Quyen-Vi Ngu-yen became Editor. We‟ll all be anticipating Skyline Key Club next year as we wait for administrative board to be cho-sen as well!
“I‟m pretty excited about being president, and I‟m also a bit nervous.” Qin said when asked about how he felt about becoming the next president of Skyline Key Club.

Meet your Division 2 Lieutenant
Governor Elect, Kevin Moyung.
Q: Describe yourself in a 3 sentence blurb.
KM: Hello! I’m Kevin and I currently attend Castro Valley
High School as a junior. My life right now is a constant
juggling act between school and Key Club, but I think
I’m getting the hang of it and it feels amazing. I love to
learn, laugh, experience things, and serve others.
Q: Why did you join Key Club?
KM: At first, I was only looking for a community service club. I had no
idea that Key Club was more than just a club until I attended the Re-
gion Training Conference a couple years ago. It became a way of life!
Q: What is your favorite service event and why?
KM: My favorite service event is Relay For Life because it is an amazing event that
raises so much money for cancer cures and cancer research. Along with other Key
Clubbers, I was able to participate in this 24-hour celebration to remember those
who have/had cancer and help to fight back.
Q: What are you looking forward to at DCON?
KM: I am looking forward to celebrate a new year of service with all the CNH Key Clubbers, as well
as learn how to be a better service leader for Division 2.
Q: Choose an object in your room and compare it to Key Club.
KM: My Incredibles Phone (Yeah, it actually looks and sounds like the phone from
the movie) - Key Club is a club where we can come together as one family to
help others in need and make the world a better place for everyone, so we must
be ready to answer the CALLS for SERVICE.
Q: Aside from being able to sing Whitney Houston‟s “I Will Always Love You,” what
other talents do you have?
KM: Haha, well, I don’t have any real talents, but I do play the string bass in
my orchestra.
Q: What is something random and/or interesting about yourself?
KM: I LOVE CHICKEN WINGS.

Hello Kiwis!
I am so glad I got through that hectic month of February! Key Club awards, scholarship applications, submissions, DCON registration - Wow, February was truly brutal. Good job to everyone!
To be honest, I‟m always thinking about District Convention. I can‟t wait to see everyone, I can‟t wait to find out who the new executive District Board members will be, and I mean, it‟s DCON! What is there not to love? However, I real-ize that I am constantly thinking about the future. It‟s coming up so soon, but that also means that I only have a little bit more than a month of my term left. After working on my Key Club award, I realize that I really want to create a lega-cy. I don‟t want to simply ensure success for my term and the next term, but I want this to be a successful system that will truly teach people how to become leaders and how to develop all of these skills in something that they are whole-heartedly passionate about. I want to be able to visit my club and my division again years after I have graduated and think that I somehow have affected those current Key Club leaders. Of course we cannot reach out to everyone, but everyone should place a huge emphasis on training! Officers: train your elects!
February may have been busy, but to the seniors out there: March is a whole new story. Ever since we hit those “Submit” buttons, we‟ve been dreading this month. I want to emphasize that what happens, happens and that the col-lege you will eventually end up at does not determine your future. YOU determine your own future. We always under-mine ourselves and the power in how we respond to situations. In fact, there‟s a really great TED video on stress! (Here‟s the link! http://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend)
As always, I cannot wait to see all of your GOLDEN Kiwi cutie faces! See you all soon! Below, I have included an inspi-rational quote that very well applies to us, Kiwis!
“The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”
