CNH Key Club
Region 7 Division 3 South John Marshall High School | September 2012
Wasn’t Fall Rally just amazing? I’m pretty
sure all of us will remember the excitement
of the cheers and losing our voices at the
end of the day. It was honestly such an
inspiring sight to see everyone on the
bleachers, cheering their hearts and
showing pride for community service. Not
only that, but with your help and many
other key clubbers, we were able to collect
over thousands of dollars for Pediatric
Trauma Prevention. Now that is what I call a
successful fundraiser. In addition I also have
great news! Key Club International has
recently cured Maternal Neonatal Tetanus
Disease in Beijing, China. Through this, we
are able to prove that with effort, anything
is possible. If we continue to donate for the
ELIMATE project, this world will be MNT-free.
I want you all to remember that we have
the power to change the world. Keep
serving wolves and remember to stick with
Key Club throughout the rest of your high
school years!

Arianna Dela Rosa

Green Festival
Hollywood Christmas Parade
Every year, my family and I would always walk up Sunset Boulevard and watch the
Hollywood Christmas Parade from the sidewalks. I was very curious on how the parade was
arranged and always wanted to be one of the people who holds the ropes of the enormous
parade balloons. When I discovered that I had the opportunity to partake in the event from
Key Club, I did not hesitate to sign up. The event started early afternoon and ended late at
night. I was assigned a job of walking the streets of Hollywood and Sunset to answer
questions from various spectators as well as help with getting ready for the event, during
that time I interacted with other Key Clubbers from other schools and was able to see
hundreds of people gather at the sidewalks to experience the wonderful event. When the
parade started, I was allocated to be one of the volunteers the holds the ropes of a sixty-
foot Woody from Toy Story balloon. Even though our balloon was inches away from crashing
into a streetlight in front of dozens cameras, and how the ropes tangled up, and how
Woody’s nose deflated, it was still very memorable occasion. At the end of the day, I do not
regret by one bit signing up for the event and staying late at night to complete it. I just hope
that next year’s parade would be twice as fun.

The Green Festival was the first event I ever held for John Marshall Key Club and I’m glad to
say it worked out fine. I was able to assemble the key clubbers to help out and this event
turned out to be interesting. Even though we volunteered in the front and some people
didn’t have the chance to work inside, it was still a nice experience. It’s great to know that
we’re helping organizations spread out their ideas as well as keeping the environment
clean. The Green Festival not only helps get communities active in properly disposing waste
and using recyclable or decomposable materials, but also advocates alternative green
energy and many other ways to keep the earth green! It was amazing how everything at
the festival could be reused, recycle, or decompose quickly; like our volunteer name tags,
which was made out of elephant dung. I actually learned a lot from this event and I’m
hoping to go back next year with more green-loving key clubbers!

This festival is to educate thousands of people
around the world about renewable energy and
green technology as well as how to invest in your
communities.
Fall Rally!
Fall Rally always begins in a cold morning filled with
excitement, my Fall Rally 2012 began with all the early
morning fun I had recognizing and welcoming of old friends
and familiar faces. Due to the over capacity of members on
each bus another was on the way to help us out. I was one
of the few people who had volunteered as tribute. Arriving a
tad late, our division had prepped with all the face paint we
could find and entered our spirit session which was one of
the most nerve wracking thing ever. After cheering our
hearts out, we had not done so great, but we walked out of
the theater with our chins up. Fall Rally is a great event that
allows the great leaders to really put their hard work to the
test and prove that leadership is not just shown through
victory but also through friendship. After shaking off the spirit
session my friends and I trailed off the enjoy not only the rides
and funnel cake, but the fact that you are surrounded by
hundreds of other people that have the very same feel for
service to the very point where you're freezing your toes off
on the bus ride home.

Fall Rally South 2012. One of the biggest events of the year. I waited weeks in anticipation for this
day. November 10th finally came around and I was as excited as I had ever been for a Key Club
event. This day would mark my first and final Fall Rally. I knew this day would be a significant part
of my Key Club life. As our division walked up to the park, my excitement level rose and I began
to realize that the day was going to be very memorable. When we entered, we were told to go
straight to the auditorium for the spirit session. This was the moment I had been waiting for. The
introductions of the district board members and Kiwanis governor helped me get into the
cheering mood. After the Lieutenant Governors were auctioned off, it was time to start the rally!
Our entire division screamed and shouted from the top of our lungs. We were determined to win
that spirit stick and getting to the Second Round made us believe but sadly our dreams were
crushed. Although we did not win the ultimate prize, I knew we had done our best and cheered
our loudest. However, we did not let this ruin the rest of our day. After the session we all broke off
into separate groups to enjoy the rest of Six Flags. The majority of the day was spent waiting in
lines, eating great food, riding rides, and best of all bonding with my fellow Key Clubbers. As the
end of the day approached, I realized that I had made the greatest decision of my life when I
joined Key Club. We are more than just friends, we are an Ohana who loves and supports each
other. This has never been truer than on November 10th, 2012 when we all discovered that as a
district we had raised 54,000 dollars for PTP. Fall Rally was fun, but it helped expose many people
to the true meaning behind Key Club, caring for others.

The Member of the Month for
November goes to Zhitong Qiu,
also known as Zhi. She has been
an official member for two years.
She was actually really shy during
her first year. For the past few
months, Zhi has been gradually
becoming more active in Key
Club. She has gone to many
events, such as volunteering at
Ronald McDonald House and Key
to College at UCLA. The key thing
that is different this month is that
she contacted an administrator of
the Green Festival, giving the club
an opportunity to volunteer there.
As she becomes more active in
Key Club, her people skills and
leadership abilities are starting to
show as well. We are happy to see
such a dedicated member so
enthusiastic about Key Club.

Month
Zhitong Qiu
It is our honor to award our bulletin
editor, Arianna Dela Rosa, officer of
the month of November. November is
a busy, stressful month for seniors with
college applications and such, but
Arianna was able to maintain her
duties as bulletin editor and go to
events, such as the Green Festival
and Fall Rally as well. She wants to
make the best newsletters possible,
always improving on them each
month. Not only is she passionate
toward making the club’s newsletters,
but also toward serving the
community. At the Green Festival, she
helped guide people to the festival
and worked at the ticket booth. She
cheered loudly during the spirit
session at Fall Rally and enjoyed it to
the fullest since it is her last year.
Unforgettable experiences such as
these are reasons why she
encourages members to write articles
for the newsletter. Arianna is not just a
good officer, but a very proud, jovial
Key Clubber.
