Hello Kiwis!
November, November. Time has sure gone by. It was wonderful to see you all at FRN and I can’t wait to see you all at Key to College.
Seniors, as college season rolls around, I want you to remember to give it your all — show these colleges why you are GOLDEN. Furthermore, underclassmen, don’t forget to support the seniors through a tough time by stepping up and taking initiative to help out a little more!
Each month, I have one deed of kindness I’d like to see our fellow Kiwis complete. :) You can e-mail me a photo at [email protected] of how it goes! It can be a funny photo, or just cute!
Deed of Kindness: I want you to dedicate this month to giving thanks.
Thank you parents who support you in your endeavor. Thank your teachers
who care about their students. Thank your Kiwanians and advisers for put-
ting in their time and effort to serve you. Thank your bus driver for daily
transportation to school. Furthermore, give thanks by giving back to the
community you serve by attending even more service events this month. :)
Flying with Service,
Division 2 Lieutenant Governor

This past month, we participated at our school's club day where we set up a booth to help recruit new members. We had a fantastic turn out! Members also attended the Eat Real Festival in Jack London. Additionally, we had a successful first fundraiser of the school year. We sold draw-string bags at the October DCM and we raised $215 from that alone. With this, we have successfully reached our goal of raising $800 for PTP. We will also be sell-ing these bags on the day of FRN! The day after the October DCM, we had a garage sale and bake sale fundraiser. We were able to raise over $100. Overall, this month has been a wonderful month for us in regards to our fundraising.
ALAMEDA
ALBANY
This month, our club volunteered for the Albany Community Triathlon. This was a great service for bonding with both the community and the new club mem-bers! We had a total of 4 hour shifts of setting up, passing out water, cheering runners and cleaning up. Also, our club has found great success in obtaining new members, and we see a lot of new faces around our weekly meetings! For our future volunteering opportunities we are planning to attend the Breast Can-cer Walk in San Francisco next weekend. We are very excited!

On October 5th, we had 7 members volunteer for the Big Fall Flea Market in Castro valley. Volunteers helped sell food or flea market items and met many people in the community. Additionally, we have 15 members that will volunteer at the Kapuna Celebration on October 20th. Next, we had a bake sale at the DCM and made around $27. We sold lime green cupcakes for 50 cents and nutella cookies for a dollar. Finally, we have officially 37 people who are attending FRN from Arroyo Key Club, which is a great improvement from last year.
Berkeley High Key Club only had one event this month which was the Berkeley High Club Fair. It was freshmen orientation that day, so we tried to catch their attention by giving good reasons why Key Club is good. We also said fun facts and passed out can-dy. We were very successful because we had three sign up sheets filled with names. We are hoping to gain new members this year and we are confidence that we will because a lot of freshmen signed up to get more information on Key Club. All of the board members attended the Club Fair and we all helped recruit new members. We haven’t had any events this month or the month of August except for the Club Fair. We are planning a ton of events this month.
16
CASTRO VALLEY
Castro Valley attended the Regional Training Conference where we learned how to strengthen our leadership skills as well as meet new people. RTC was a great experience that could never be forgotten. Everyone is highly encouraged to attend next year, because it is BEEyond amazing. We had a few work parties specifically for Fall Rally North to make lime green tutus. Also, we had a flyering event at the Castro Valley village for a pasta dinner. We helped out at the Stanton elementary school carnival and bonded with the members while doing so. We held a FUNd-raiser at Peet's Coffee by having a bake sale and it was a success!
EL CERRITO El Cerrito Key Club has been doing well! Our club had participated in a collab with Al-bany High by helping then clean up Albany Bulb. Also, there was a Division Wide Servce on the same day at Lake Meritt which was a clean-up event also. There was also an event in Oakland where we had to usher people. This Saturday, on October 19, El Cerrito Key Club will be going to FRN (Fall Rally North) at Six Flags!. We are looking forward to it because we know it will be fun!

OAKLAND HIGH
ENCINAL
We skipped a couple of club meetings this months dues to the holidays and the crazi-ness of homecoming, but it's been great. We attended the Port of Oakland Shore Cleanup where we helped pick up trash. Unfortunately, we had to end it early because of the rain but nevertheless, The events was a success. This week during homecoming week, we successfully sold chicken and made much profit from it. And lastly, we're ready for Fall Rally North!
This month was the sixth month of the term. Events we had this month were all volun-teering work, like our school’s Campus Cleanup, the DWS, and volunteering at the Farmer’s Market at Uhuru Foods and at the Eat Real Festival. We had four general club meeting this month, and had an average of 47.25 members present.
18
PIEDMONT This month, we attended a few service events and also continued fundraising through our bubble tea sales. We volunteered at the DWS: Creek for Bay Day in helping to clean up the bay by Jack London Square. We also attended Piedmont's Harvest Festival in helping to prepare and serve food. At the October DCM, our members had a lot of fun cheering and prepping for FRN. Currently, we are thinking of new ways to make our meetings more fun and to encourage members to attend more service events. We look forward to participating in more service events and bonding with our fellow key clubbers!
OAKLAND TECH Our club has been staying busy with many different events this month. We recruited at school registration, although we couldn't get a table. We also did service with the Kiwanians and Circle K's Golden Gate division. The Thursday of first week of school, we had our first general meeting and there was a great turn out. The numbers have been hovering around 40-50 people so far. Last weekend we hosted a beach clean up and helped out at the Cal Concessions. Last week we also sold milk tea to fundraise for PTP.
19
SKYLINE Skyline is doing very well this month. We've been having many meetings and events with excite-ment, and on November 1st, we will be having a sale of Asian food in a school event. This month though, we've attended events such as swim-a-mile and Fall Rally North, and on October 26th, we will be fundraising at Montclair selling baked goods. We're currently almost done setting up our new single service event where we will be donating books to those who need them, and we will also be setting events to tutor those in need. As for our other single service projects such as UNICEF, we've raised over $100, saving many babies! We're excited to see how we go as we've already had our mid-term meeting where we are expecting great results for this year's club turn-out.
On October 11th, we had helped out at the annual Comedy night for Bal theatre. We helped accompany people to their seats, clean up etc. At this event, every year there is a famous come-dian who attends, this year it was someone from Saturday night Live. The following day, their was another event called the Roosevelt fall festival. This is at one of our local elementary school and we set up booths and had tons of fun with some kids.

Albany volunteered at the Albany Community Triathlon, a community effort to celebrate
an active and healthy lifestyle. Volunteers enjoyed bonding with members of their club as
well as members of their own town community.
At Berkeley’s September bake sale, so many members brought baked goods that they couldn’t
fit them all on the table! Berkeley also volunteered at the Chaparral House and Sunday Streets.

Piedmont Harvest Festival By Remy Afong , P iedmont
Oakland High
On Sunday, September 29th, about eight of our members volunteered at the Piedmont Harvest Festival. A few of us prepped food in the kitchen, a few of us helped serve food to customers and a few of us volunteered at the carnival booths for little kids. I was a part of the group working in the kitchen to prepare Caprese salads.
Arriving at 10 a.m., my group's first task was to peel basil leaves for the salad. While the chef cut the tomatoes, we began making the salads. They consisted of four layers of tomato, three layers of mozzarella cheese, and three layers of basil. The tomatoes were an assortment of colors, ranging from crimson ted to vibrant orange to forest green. We had a lot of fun assembling the salads to make them as beautiful and colorful as possible. As we made them, we sent out trays of salad to be sold. Because they were selling so fast, we had to assemble the salads continuously, with hardly any breaks in between.
When the lunch rush died down, we had the opportunity to try the delicious food and also walk around the fes-tival. Some of the attractions included a scarecrow contest, a baked goods contest, and also a largest pumpkin contest! We also got to observe and participate in the carnival events. I got a cute butterfly and dinosaur painted on my face.
Although it was a tiring day, we had a lot of fun brushing up on our cooking skills and aiding our community in making this highly anticipated festival happen. We look forward to participating in similar events in the future, and will hopefully volunteer at this festival again next year!
Alameda High’s Club Day By Jason Fan , A lameda
On October 4th, Key Clubbers at Alameda High had a booth during our annual club day, where many of our officers and a few members helped out. During this event, we helped explain the Key Club and the services we provide, attracting many who are less informed about our club to be-come curious. We handed out brochures and candy, which attracted many fellow students. At the end of the event, we were able to accumulate over 40 people interested in joining our club. The following meeting the next week was exceptionally bigger than usual.
Eat Real Festival
On September 27th after school, Key Club members from Oakland High helped volunteer at the Eat Real Festival in Jack London. Depending on when and what they were interested in doing, they were assigned a specific shift of the time they would be working from and what they would be doing. Our members did various volunteer work including alcohol control, handling the volunteer hub with signing volunteers in and out, directing where people should throw their trash and picking up trash. All in all, it was an amazing experience working with people who were so passionate on making Eat Real happen!

Region Training Conference
his final RTC was amazing and so inspirational. I remember attending last year, and it was part of the reason why I fell in love with Key Club. But this time around, I wasn’t sitting through each workshop, I was hosting them along with the other District Board members.
This event has made me laugh, smile, cheer, scream, sing, jump, dance, and even almost cry. It brings me hope to see all these newcomers, because these are the future leaders of our club. It brings me happiness to sing and cheer at the campfire, and to see everyone else doing it too. It puts a smile on my face when I’ve been up un-til 3AM preparing a slideshow, and seeing the members enjoy it. Love is when your Kiwanis Advisors throw your shoes across the campfire. But, it also brings me sadness to know that this past weekend was the last RTC I will be attending.
Working with all the other Lieutenant Governors has truly been a blessing, and I’ve fallen in love with who they are and their personalities that they bring to the table.
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for all our golden kiwis. :)

What did the Kiwis do?
Kiwis arrived at Camp Jones Gulch bright and early — ready to face the long but fun day! Some
chose to hang out at the basketball courts while others socialized with Key Clubbers who had just
arrived. After this, Kiwis enjoyed sandwiches for lunch.
After lunch, all RTC attendees headed towards the music shell for the Opening Session. We can
always count on the LTGs to make listening to even the code of conduct interesting! Key Clubbers
then dispersed into the various officer workshops. These workshops were followed by group time.
Key Clubbers attended the Round Robin Workshops with their groups where they learned about
time management, ethics, member recognition, professionalism and public speaking. Groups also
went to the Keynote Session to hear various inspirational speakers.
After workshops, there was cabin time, dinner, and group time to work on group skits and cheers.
These were performed at the campfire. After the campfire, Key Clubbers danced the night away,
played board games, played Ping-Pong and more. Lots of fun!
The next day, RTC ended with a slide-show, DCM breakouts, outdoor activities & Closing Session.

On October 5th, Key Clubbers from Division 2 gathered at Mill’s College in Oakland for the 18th annual Swim-a-Mile for Women with Cancer, put on by the Women’s Cancer Resource Center. Over 600 men, wom-en and children swam up to one mile, while our Key Clubbers tirelessly counted their laps, while cheering them on and encouraging them to finish their goal. It was all so inspiring, seeing kids as young as 7 years old, enthusiastically swimming lap after lap to reach the 36 lap mark. Another inspiration was a man, who had never learned how to swim. But he had fundraised and was determined to swim a mile. Much over an hour later, he finished swimming his mile, proof that anyone can complete this seemingly impossible challenge. The fact that grown men who had never learned to swim and small children with only a couple years of swimming instruction were able to swim a mile encouraged me and I’m sure many others that they too can do anything they set their mind to. Going to this event truly made me want to swim in this event next year.

On a breezy Saturday afternoon, more than 100 D2 Key Clubbers attended the October DCM prior to discuss about our division goals, accomplishments and recognition, and of course – to prep for Fall Rally North. Although the meeting was longer than the usual DCM’s, majority of the members still had loads of energy, support, and patience towards perfecting the three rally cheers and familiarizing themselves with the game plan. Spirit leaders and returning members excitingly assisted the new mem-bers with cheers, which included the classic ―How Do You Feel‖ to even learning our division’s newly created ―We Are Kiwis‖ Cheer. Talk about dedication and eye for the golden prize – the spirit stick! Aside from cheers, several schools sold Key Club merchandise, which went from tu-tus, lanyards, and even draw-string bags! Last, but not least, we donated a total of $240 to PTP within the few hours together. Keep up the great work and let’s strive for more golden achievements! Tweet tweet! :)

The Mini Maker’s Faire was great! I volunteered last year as well and it was just as great, if not better. This year, I helped kids make terrariums and decorate stepping stones. The kids were adorable and made things better than I could have. I also helped out at the photo booth where I had a better view of everything else. It was amazing to see all of the technology and activities that kids could partici-pate in and learn from. I hope to have this chance again next year!

“Fall Rally North is one of my favorite big social events of the year. You
have the opportunity to show off your division gear and pride. This is the
event you want to be at if you want to see how much spirit every division
member has. Anyways this year at FRN, Division 2 Kiwis were SO close to
winning that spirit stick but it doesn't if we won it or not because we did
try our best. We were able to fundraise over $7,000 for Pediatric Trauma
Program and I'm so proud of us. I also want to congratulate Division 26

winning the spirit stick. Finally, EVERYONE at the rally was amazing! Good

to Key Club? Who else makes the effort to attend our Key Club events and chaperone us? Who
else can tell fortunes by smelling the person’s shoes? Our Kiwanis.
This month, get to know your sponsoring Kiwanis Club members.
What are some ideas?
Think outside of the box!
Kiwanis Takeover!
Team up with Kiwanis to host
the most successful fundraiser
ever! Movie night? Spaghetti
feed?
Organize a service project with them. The ideas are endless: plant flowers, prepare
kits, host a clothing drive, etc.
Do something nice! Plan a dinner with them, give them
a gift!

How do I submit my
donations?
The Eliminate Project: Campaign Office
Kiwanis International Foundation
3636 Woodview Trace
Indianapolis, IN, 46268
USA
ATTN: Trick or Treat
Memo Line: Club name or number
Check or money orders
should be sent to:
Clubs will be awarded with
UNICEF Patch if at least $250
in funds and the Kiwanis-
Giving Form are submitted
by December 31, 2013.
Where does the
money go to?
MNT kills one baby every nine
minutes. The effects are excru-
ciating: tiny newborns suffer
repeated, painful convulsions
Donating the funds raised from
these UNICEF boxes to the Elimi-
nate Project will save the lives of
mothers and babies.
The goal of The Eliminate Project
is to eliminate neonatal and
maternal tetanus from the
world. Sounds like a huge task,
huh? Well, turns out we have
already eliminated MNT in 13
countries. 26 more to go!
Why should we eliminate
MNT?
and are extremely sensitive
to light and touch. MNT is
caused when tetanus spores
(found in soil everywhere)
come into contact with
open cuts during childbirth.
However, MNT is completely
preventable! Just $1.80 can
save a mother and her ba-
bies from MNT through a
vaccine.
We must change the fact
that innocent mothers and
babies are dying in the
world from a disease that
can easily be prevented.
The joys of bringing a child
into this world have been
overshadowed by the tragic
effects of this disease.

Did you know 1 in 8 babies are born prematurely? More than half a million babies are born prematurely in the United State each year. Premature birth is the #1 cause of death during the first month of life. Even babies born just a few weeks too soon can face serious health challenges and are at risk for lifelong disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, lung problems, and vision and hearing loss. November is when March of Dimes focuses everyone’s attention on the impact premature birth has on babies and families. Throughout November, Key Club members can support the March of Dimes mission by educating peers on the importance of healthy life-styles. You can also contact your local office to see what volunteer needs the local Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the hospital might have, such as making scrapbook pages or hosting a dinner for parents. And on Global Prematurity Day, November 17, you can do a range of activities to spread awareness about the global problem of preterm birth! Your club can host an event at your school to educate others and you can dedicate a day to wear purple, the March of Dimes color.

The mission? To improve the
health of babies by prevent-
ing birth defects, premature
birth, and infant mortality.

thank you to all of my members for being the greatest people alive. I'm really sad to say that

Hello Kiwis!
Only at Key Club events will hugging strangers be a norm…. Oh, how I love Key Club! My love for this organization trumped my fear for rollercoasters (I know, I know. I’m a strange one… Ask every-one who had to deal with me on the rainbow carousel. Yup, that’s right. The carousel.) and I just could-n’t imagine not going to Fall Rally. It was a blast meeting and reuniting with other Key Clubbers, hang-ing out with my fellow Kiwis, and screaming at the top of my lungs during the rally. I didn’t realize how tired I would be!
I am SO proud to be a Division 2 Kiwi. I am so proud of everyone in Division 2. Can you be-lieve that we were able to buy three LTGs and 2 District Board members? We are golden. :) My first and final FRN was wonderful!
We have reached the halfway point in our 2013-2014 term and I just wanted to say that it’s been such a pleasure serving as the Division Newsletter Editor. It’s time-consuming and sometimes, I wish I could just have a break and not have deadlines flying at me, but I really do love what I do and it’s been tons of fun. ^_^
I’ll see you guys at the November events! I’m especially looking forward to Key 2 College! Also, I’ve found out that I really like quotes. I will be ending all of my Closing Messages with a quote I like!
―If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Yours In Service,
, Division 2 Newsletter Editor
