Leadership Training Conference (LTC)This Marc h, I went to the 68th annua l Key Club Leadership Tra ining Conferenc e. LTC was a 3 day 2 night experienc e tha t you must have. At LTC we a ttended Workshops tha t is led by high sc hool students like us. I know peop le might be like "oh lea rning is so boring" tha t might be true but a t LTC we a ren't lea rning a lgebra , we a re lea rning important skills tha t c an help us in the future and the p resenters usua lly make it fun. Even though 3 days seems very little, we still make memories and friends. It was last year a t LTC I met the c urrent Cardozo President Howie Ngo and Vic e-President Shreya Mohan. We a re grea t friends and it was a ll bec ause of tha t sma ll c onferenc e tha t b rought us together. A b ig p lus, the food there is AMAZING!!! So 3 days away from your pa rents and with your friends with lots of food is not an opportunity you want to pass up . I will definitely go to LTC for the rest of my High Sc hool years and eac h will be more amazing than the last. I c erta inly hope you will jo in us next year.

Fight For Ai r Cl imb

As the la rgest c limb fundra ising p rogram in the c ountry, the Fight for Air Climb rea lly impac ted me as an ind ividua l. The event was espec ia lly intriguing to me as I got to see how muc h peop le were willing to go to make a signific ant impac t on those a ffec ted by lung d isease. During the Fight for Air Climb I met and ta lked to many peop le. Everybody seemed inviting and nic e. The c limbers told me about their exhila ra ting sense of ac c omp lishment when they reac hed the top and I think tha t is a grea t thing .The funds they ra ise support researc h, educ a tion and pa tient p rograms to help the millions of Americ ans impac ted by asthma, COPD, lung c anc er, a ir pollution and other lung d iseases. With this sing le event, it c rea tes a p leasant mood tha t I would definitely enjoy aga in. But before tha t I would definitely suggest other Key Clubbers to take some time to volunteer for the Fight For Air Climb . Remember guys, ?Every step you take moves us forward in our fight for hea lthy lungs and c lean a ir.? -Americ an Lung Assoc ia tion.

March Of Dimes

On April 24, I went to the Marc h of Dimes wa lk. Marc h of Dimes is a 3.5 mile wa lk. This wa lk is a wa lk for bab ies, as it ra ises funds to fight p remature b irth. On our way there, we ac tua lly got lost, however on the tra in ride, I was ab le to ta lk to other key c lubbers and Baysiders and a lso peop le from other sc hools. At this event, I met this wonderful person named, Kerrie Chung, who is c urrently a sophomore a t Cardozo High Sc hool. During this event, I was ab le to ta lk to so many peop le from d ifferent d ivisions. As we enter the line, you hear peop le c heering and kids yelling . We a ll wa lked as a whole, as they c ount down, and you see a ll these key c lubbers c hanting and yelling . This wa lk was for a good c ause for bab ies and was a bond ing time with wonderful key c lubbers. I had an awesome time as I spent my time help ing for a c ause and meeting new peop le.

TD Bike Tour

The day of the TD Bike Tour was c loudy, but desp ite the ra in, we saw thousands of b ikers, with a va riety of ages rang ing from kids to even elderly peop le. Our loc a tion was a t the Commodore Barry Park, a rest stop , where we handed out bananas, app les, and p retzels to a ll the b ikers tha t c ame through. We worked through the whole morning, it was fun and tiring , but knowing we helped out the b ikers tha t have worked even harder made it worthwhile. The b ikers had worked exc ep tiona lly ha rd to ride through three of the five boroughs, it was exhausting for many, but they were a lso persistent, and a fter taking a little b reak, they rode the rest and finished the five borough b ike tour, strong, in Sta ten Island .

Japan Day

Japan Day was spec ia l in a way tha t it rea lly got you interested in c ulture. In this c ase, it was the c ulture of the Japanese and this festiva l rea lly intrigued me. While I was d irec ting peop le on a line for a Yakisoba stand , I was fasc ina ted by how many peop le were interested in Japanese c ulture and I immed ia tely wanted to lea rn more. Watc hing a lot of anime in the past d idn?t rea lly teac h me muc h about Japan as muc h as Japan Day d id . Through the c ommunic a tion with numerous Japanese sta ff, I was ab le to lea rn about where food like Yakisoba c ame from. I was a lso ab le to lea rn d irec ting as a leadership qua lity and I lea rned how to keep a massive c rowd of peop le under c ontrol. Overa ll, it was an exhila ra ting experienc e and I c an?t wa it to go bac k next year!

AIDS WalkAIDS wa lk was a wonderful event. It was strenuous, but I was doing something grea t. I was ra ising money to c ombat the AIDS ep idemic . I wa lked six miles with two of my friends. We c omp la ined a lot and wanted to stop . Thankfully, there were peop le a long the way to c heer us on and g ive us food . (And a rea lly good looking guy, lo l). A wa lker even went up to my friend to c omp liment her ha ir. We were surrounded by so muc h positivity. -Vivien Cheng, Member

This was a spec ia l event. Not only were you wa lking 6.2 miles through Centra l Park and the streets of Manha ttan, you were a lso ra ising money in awareness of AIDs through motiva tion and insp ira tion. Desp ite my experienc e not being a ll too wonderful, due to the fac t tha t I basic a lly held a sign with a Key Club Division 8 T-Shirt dang ling on it the entire wa lk with my hands having a few b listers, a lso the fac t tha t I was wa lking 6.2 miles for about more than 2 hours, it was a ll c ompensa ted for through the sa tisfac tion of c omp leting those 6.2 miles and knowing tha t I have a grea t amount of enduranc e and tha t I?ve done a grea t deed in ra ising the awareness of AIDs. Also being ab le to meet many peop le tha t have suffered from AIDs rea lly insp ired me to better the c ommunity and help out more peop le in need as the stories they told were insp ira tiona l on every level. In add ition, AIDs Wa lk in New York ended up ra ising $3,783,141 as a result, and hearing tha t c an get anyone up lifted .

Relay For Li fe

On June 4th, I volunteered a t my third Relay for Life event a t Fort Totten. Throughout my time there, I met Key Clubbers from d ifferent sc hools. We spent the ma jority of the ea rly a fternoon setting up the luminaria bags. The purpose of the luminaria bags is to honor anyone who has been touc hed by c anc er. Afterward , I was p lac ed a t the ?Make a sign for your team? tab le with Shirley and Steven. Sinc e no one wanted to make a team sign, Shirley and I dec ided to make one for our NYC Key Club team. Unfortuna tely, a fter the survivors? wa lk, it sta rted to pour. Due to the ra in, the luminaria bags c ould not be lit. This was extremely sad bec ause some of the pa rtic ipants wanted to experienc e their first luminaria c eremony. However, the ra in b rought the survivors and their families c loser. While under the tent, we got to hear the stories of the survivors and their loved ones. Overa ll, I had a lot of fun a t this event and I hope to see everyone aga in next year!

Car Wash

On June 17th and 18th Bayside High Sc hool Key Club held it's 10th annua l Car Wash a t the Athletic Field . This year for the first time we offered free c a r washes and only ac c ep ted dona tions. We washed over 20 c a rs and made $255d and d idn't even have their c a r washed ! They money ra ised will be used to help pay for our upc oming ICON trip to Atlanta .

-Steven Jac oby, Advisor

This June I went to the Bayside High Sc hool Key Club annua l Car Wash on the 17th and 18th. The Car Wash was for 3 hours,both days. At the Car Wash, we basic a lly just wash c a rs for free, but dona tions a re ac c ep ted . I know some peop le may say ?oh washing c a rs a re boring .? Tha t may be true, however, doing this g ives you a taste of experienc e in how modern day peop le c lean c a rs. Although it is a 2 day thing , we still made memories. Sinc e it is a free c a r wash, we get more c a rs and more dona tions. I c erta inly hope you will jo in us next year.

Divi sional Training Conference

Divisiona l Tra ining Conferenc e (DTC) was held on June 18, 2016 a t Stuyvesant High Sc hool. Essentia lly being a minia ture Leadership Tra ining Conferenc e, there were tons of workshops rang ing from lea rning new skills both inside and outside of Key Club . However, the most spec ia l aspec t of DTC were the peop le who held these workshops- many were members!! It was awesome seeing a ll these members teac h about skills tha t they have outside of Key Club , suc h as photography. This just c omes to show tha t a lthough everyone is unique in their own way, we're a ll united by Key Club . After workshops, we had K-Fa ir a t the sc hool's c a feteria where we held sp irit ba ttles and ic e b reakers! And just throwing this out there, but I think the side with the most Division 8'ers won the Sp irit Ba ttle (wink wink). At the end , we were ab le to ra ise $1138 for an adorab le little g irl named Sophie and her Cerebra l Pa lsy trea tment! She will a lso be c oming to our Buffet Fundra iser this June 30th, where we will be p resenting the c hec k to her. Thank you a ll for c oming to DTC, and we hope to see you on June 30th!
