We’re rarely ever in the same place at once: between packed classroom meetings awaiting the latest updates and service opportunities, neighborhood park sandwich making gettogethers for the local food bank, or boba milk teahouse after-service socials, we’re all simply busy at work saving our own little corner of the world. That’s why it’s so special when we do come together as one big CNH ohana. Fall Rally showed you what happens when thousands of spirited Key Clubbers all converge onto one place. It’s just that you’d have missed out on meeting people from the other half of our district either way. If division, region, and district-wide events leave you curious and wanting more, your heart is in the right place. Enter District Convention—DCON is everything you’d find in the greatest family get-together anyone could ask for—a weekend full of spirit and CNH love: fellowship, learning, and of course, celebration. In addition to the information in this special issue designed to help you find your way to Anaheim come March, you’ll find that people love talking about their my-first-time-at-DCON stories. Don’t have one yet? It’s not too late—DCON 2015 is your perfect opportunity.

Welcome to the Convention Issue of our District Newsletter! We hope that you find this issue incredibly useful when it comes to sharing the District Convention (DCON) experience with fellow members. Remember, this is only a small taste of DCON 2015. You’re going to have to come and see for yourself what all the buzz is about! Convention is a time of celebration, where members, club officers, and advisors are recognized for a year’s worth of unending service and dedication to Key Club. Convention is also a time of new beginnings when newly-elected officers are ushered into term. But that isn’t all it! At DCON, you will have the opportunity to interact with thousands of Key Clubbers from all across California, Nevada, and Hawaii, attend workshops to help enhance your leadership skills, and learn more about Key Club! The education you will receive at District Convention will last a lifetime and help foster your growth as a leader. The friends you will create at DCON will be a part of your most cherished memories. If you have gone to District Convention before, this year is going to be unlike any other year because of new features such as region time, extra training sessions, optional caucus time, and more that you can learn more about reading through this issue or experience while you are in Anaheim, California. We certainly have a lot of reasons to celebrate this year’s convention—I want YOU to be a part of our wonderful end-of-the-term district-wide celebration! Every day, each and every one of you inspires me to do all that I do. Let’s come together for a wonderful CELEBRATION of Key Club in CNH love and spirit.

No matter what you celebrate, make sure to take the time off from school to appreciate all the little things, no matter what they may be for you. Not only is it the holiday season, but it’s also time to register for the biggest celebration that the CNH District hosts every year—DISTRICT CONVENTION!

I look forward to seeing the potential candidates at District Office Candidate Training Conference!

Will I be see your club in Anaheim at DCON 2015? District Convention has something in store for everyone—Key Clubbers new to the organization and wanting to get more involved, to graduating high school seniors who want to know more about the next step after Key Club. Not only will you meet likeminded individuals from across the three states within our district; you also are guaranteed to make memories that will last a life time. DCON registration is open: If you are interested, please contact your club officers immediately to begin fundraising to help pay for your trip! Costs for Convention may be daunting, but this is a challenge that can be conquered! When coming up with a total cost for convention for your club, remember to incorporate registration fees for both members and chaperones, as well as any applicable transportation fees. To lower these costs, your club can participate in fundraisers that can help make Convention more affordable. A more affordable Convention means more members attending! If you need any fundraising ideas, feel free to look at the fundraising manual that can be found on the CyberKey! I hope to see YOU at DCON 2015! Please feel free to contact me for any help with fundraising and membership recruitment as we approach Convention. Have a joyous holiday season, Bees!

Why Attend DCON? Reasons YOU Should Go! Every year that I have gone to District Convention, I’ve always learned something new. Not only is District Convention a great way to learn more about Key Club in general, but it also a great way to be more excited about being a Key Clubber. They Key Club community is so broad and it’s always wonderful to see how passionate members are about Key Club. While at District Convention, you feel like yourself and no one is forcing you to be someone you are not. District Convention was truly an eye-opening experience and everyone should have the opportunity to attend it. —Amanda Lam, Santa Teresa, Division 12 South When I attended DCON my freshman year, I had no idea that I would’ve had the opportunity to make new friends, improve on my leadership skills, and truly learn about what Key Club really is. Seeing all these members all over the CNH district made me really think that everyone who’s attending DCON is here to make a difference to their clubs when they come back. Attending DCON will truly change your life as a Key Clubber because it shows you the true meaning of Key Club, and will inspire you to serve for the better! — Gabby Baniqued, Ann Sobrato, Division 12 South Attending DCON was one of the best decisions of my life. DCON is what inspired me to further involve myself in the Key Club at my school. DCON has taught me that Key Club is expands way past Division 45 and its clubs. By attending DCON, I was able to meet new friends that I will never forget. By attending District Convention, you will be inspired to learn more about Key Club and it will give you memories that will last a lifetime. — Jiavanna Wong-Fortunato, Carson, Division 45 Why Attend DCON? Attending DCON created memories that will last a lifetime. Originally debating on whether or not to go, I am glad that I took the opportunity to attend this spectacular event. District Convention opened my eyes as to how large Key Club is—it extends way beyond just the club level, way beyond the state level, and as I learned, way beyond the national level. I met people from all around the CNH District; being roomed with students from Southern California made me realize that there are others all over who feel the same about volunteering as I do. The workshops offered at DCON taught me information about Key Club that I never would have known if I were not in attendance. From the workshops to the general sessions, DCON was a life-changing event, and it has helped me become the more outgoing person that I am now. — Jenna Wong-Fortunato, Carson, Division 45 District Convention. I don’t know exactly where to start, but if I had to explain this event in one word it would be memorable. DCON was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a Key Clubber, and there’s just so much that happened that it’s impossible to sum it up in one tiny paragraph. Imagine waking up in a hotel room with friends (of your gender of course) from your division, and getting ready for a day filled with workshops, general sessions, and most importantly, Key Clubbers like you. There are giant rooms around the convention center filled with Key Clubbers dressed in division or business casual attire (depending on the day of convention), with everyone excited to meet new people and learn about The Eliminate Project, fundraising, their positions, and everything Key Club-related. BEEing surrounded by passionate Key Clubbers filled me with happiness and a sense of belonging. Everywhere I went, I never really felt alone because there was always someone to meet. In between workshops and sessions I remembered the reason why we all come together for this club, not just for friends, but for service and to make a difference in our communities. I can’t explain this any further without writing pages about DCON, but it was definitely an eye-opener for me as a Key Clubber. DCON wasn’t good. It was better than good! — Emybeth Pascual, Benjamin Holt, Division 27 North Since it was my first DCON, I didn’t really know what to expect at first, but I had an amazing first experience. I found the workshops very informative and helpful, and I enjoyed listening to presenters talk about their experiences. I met a lot of spirited people that inspired me to be a better Key Clubber. One of the things I enjoyed most was listening to the guest speaker because he was super-entertaining and gave me a lot of motivation. Lastly, I enjoyed watching all of the LTGs and the district governor retire and the new ones installed. I’m looking forward to DCON 2015! — Jemie Quero, Middle College, Division 27 North As a member, the two most anticipated events of the year are Fall Rally and DCON. Now that Fall Rally season has officially come to a close, I cannot wait for this year’s District Convention! I have been going to DCON for the past two years, and every year creates a different atmosphere and different memories. DCON is a chance for members to continue to get to know the rest of CNH while also marking the end of a job well done and embarking on new adventures as their journey of service continues. It’s an overall amazing experience – one that every member should have the pleasure of experiencing at least once. — Lori Cambronero, Narbonne, Division 19 South The experience at my very first District Convention in 2014 was indescribable. From the first day to the last day of Convention, the spirit and compassion of each Key Clubber grew stronger and stronger. Everyone was so nice and dedicated to Key Club. They screamed their hearts out for their divisions, schools, lieutenant governors, and our beloved district board members. I was blown away by how spirited everyone was. I felt like I was with my real family because we all had the same desire to serve our homes, schools, and communities. I was really glad that I had the opportunity to experience DCON and bring back new ideas and spirit to my home club and division. I can honestly say that these experiences have changed my perspective on Key Club and transformed me from being a neophyte member to a super-active member and officer. Thank you, CNH, for giving me a chance to meet so many inspirational members and leaders, and for giving me a chance to understand the reason why I love Key Club. — Lisa Kim, Bellflower, Division 13 South Ribbo n Bu ns? o t t Butto ? s n ns? o Ribb Rib bo ns?

As a Circle K member, I really enjoyed participating in the College EXPO because I was able to inform Key Clubbers, future college students, about what my college (CSU Sacramento) experience is like along with Circle K members from all over the district who represent their schools. Overall, I think many more Circle K members should attend the College EXPO to represent their home school, meet Key Clubbers, and maybe inspire someone to go to your college and join your CKI Club! Lawrence Sahagun | Cal State Sacramento Circle K I liked that a variety of colleges were present and that the colleges there all had Circle K clubs, showing a continuation of the Kiwanis Family's involvement. Jonny Paguio | Cal Poly Pomona Circle K When I went to College EXPO, I was in my prime of looking at colleges; It was the perfect opportunity to look at colleges that acknowledge Key Club and the Kiwanis Family. Angela Lazo | Division 7 North The College EXPO at District Convention 2014 truly was an enjoyable and enlightening experience. Though I was only a sophomore at the time, I was already inspired to join Circle K, no matter what the school! Also, the college students there were very enthusiastic as well. By attending in the future, I hope to gain more information about normal college life and the Circle K clubs at other colleges as well.

Cards for Key Players Vivian Li | Division 44 South | Mira Loma In honor of Key Club Week’s “Kudos to Key Players”, Mira Loma Key Club decided to make cards for our school’s staff to show our appreciation for them. We also made a large card for our sponsoring Sacramento Suburban Kiwanis with thank you messages and signatures from our members, to show our appreciation for all they do for us. Our goal was to make at least one card for every one of the staff members at our school, from janitors to P.E. teachers to counselors to math teachers, since they are all key players who make our school and our club possible. This meant over 120 cards, which was quite a daunting task, but our members were able to do it! During lunchtime in our advisor’s room throughout Key Club Week, from November 3rd to November 7th, members came and made cards thanking teachers that had affected their lives in any way, big or small. Despite the fast-paced work of creating so many cards, the atmosphere was full of fun and energy, with Key Clubbers reminiscing about favorite memories or inside jokes with a certain teacher. Mira Loma Key Clubbers create hand-made “Cards for Key Players” during Key Club Week. The puns were relentless. Each handmade card was signed Mira Loma Key Club, and was individual written and decorated for a particular teachers. We dropped them off in the teacher’s mailboxes the next week hoping to brighten their days just a little as we head into the final stretch before the end of the semester; to our surprise, we saw some cards hanging in their classrooms the next day! As a very successful project, we hope to continue this tradition every year, as we have learned how important it is and how big of a difference one can make simply by expressing one’s gratitude. Youth Court Liliana Ortiz | Division 37 East | Orange Glen Every first and third Tuesday of every month, the Escondido Police Department holds a Youth Court. Youth Court is a court-like scene, and its goal is to ensure that underage first-time offenders learn the consequences of their crimes. The cases given are real and the students that have committed the offenses are actual students from Escondido. Students can serve on the jury or be an attorney (prosecution or defense) after completing the required training and “bar exam”. A student can be a part of as many as two, sometime three, cases in one night. As a result, Youth Court has continuously stayed a popular service event among our Key Clubbers because the setting is very similar to an actual court. A “mock trial” is held to provide training for volunteers willing to become “attorneys” in Youth Court. The fact that they can help decide the sentence for actual crimes is very exciting to them. Those who complete the required training to be an attorney find the experience far more fulfilling and take their roles very seriously, making their best effort in presenting cases. Jurors like to negotiate sentences according to the information that was given to them. They find themselves responsible for coming up with a compromise that will best benefit the offender in learning from their mistake. First-time attendees always come back and provide positive feedback about their experience and are always willing to go back. Because of this, Orange Glen Key Club has and will continue to be a part of this great opportunity. The Official California-Nevada-Hawai’i District Newsletter Page 24 Kiwanis Duck Splash Tristan Ganzon | Division 3 North | Crescenta Valley Crescenta Valley High School Key Club members volunteered at the 10th annual Kiwanis Duck Splash in Glendale, CA. The Kiwanis Incredible Duck Splash (acronym “KIDS”) is produced by the Kiwanis Club of Glendale, i.e., a “Duck Race.” 5,000 to 100,000 or more yellow rubber ducks “race” to a finish line to earn great prizes for their “adoptive” owners, matched by a unique number on a tag on the bottom of each duck. The beneficiaries of the charitable fundraising event are primarily children and youth in Glendale and neighboring cities throughout Los Angeles County. The Key Club members at the event received valuable insight on what it’s like to organize and set up an event that contributes to the community and gives more than just an enjoyable day at the park. The Duck Splash being held between 10 AM and 2 PM volunteers went above and beyond and came at 7 AM or earlier, answering their call of duty to serve and volunteer. At the event, most members took to the booths, which housed many carnival-style games that gave off a communal fare feeling. Volunteers also, among other things, set up booths, decorated tables, helped with tickets for the booths, and cleaned up afterward.

Florin Awake-a-Thon Jeremy Seng | Division 27 North | Ronald E. McNair Key Clubbers keep themselves and each other awake until seven the next morning for a cause. There are few things that can separate a teenager’s head from a pillow. One: a softer pillow. Two: food. Three: a call from mother nature, but the fourth and most surprising–is to support The Eliminate Project. That’s what Key Clubbers did when they assembled for Florin High School’s 5th Annual Awake-a-Thon, the only time of the year when teenagers willingly pull an all-nighter. Each pledging $30, over a hundred intrepid Key Clubbers stayed up until 7 AM in the morning to support their newborn brothers from differing mothers. These children all suffered from neonatal tetanus, a generalized form of tetanus that occurs to infants in developing countries. Fun fact: tetanus is a bacterial disease that causes muscle spasms and if left untreated, killing the victim in the last hours of their life with EXCRUCIATING pain! Actually, that’s not a fun fact. So, staying up for 12 hours is easypeasy-shmeezy, sure, but toss in a rally, a showing of The Grudge, and a dance to top it off and you have one great day (or night) to spend with one’s Key Club ohana. Florin’s 5th Annual Awake-A-Thon was a memorable night, and I hope that “bear” will be more people next year!

Kiss the Pig UNICEF Halloween Bake Sale Caroline Kodama |22H | Iolani Vanessa Banh | D46N Iolani Key Club officers baked Halloween-themed treats such as spider cupcakes, pumpkin mocha, monster cookies, and more! Treats were given out during the club meeting for donations. Members could guess the number of candy corns in a jar for $1 per guess, and the closest entry won the jar of candy. This project impacted the club positively: freshmen and seniors bonded over games, and the club passed the fundraising goal to raise a total of $242. Each member averaged more than a $1.80 donation for The Eliminate Project! Five contestants were chosen to represent the division. Each of these contestants received a personalized box that was presented at every DCM and Kiwanis meeting, starting all the way back in June. The boxes with the most money meant that that particular contestant had to kiss the pig! This project was extremely successful; Division 46 North was able to fundraise as much as $500 for The Eliminate Project! THANK YOU to the clubs who participated in the Spotlight on Service Program!

Each month is dedicated to a specific focus that clubs are encouraged to accomplish for the month. Remember, our District Goal is for every club to conduct 5 service projects every month. December Focus l Providing Basic Needs December, a month filled with music, gifts, fun, and laughter as family and friends gather together. It is the month for appreciating all that had occurred within this year, acknowledging the sacrifices we had made, and wrapping up the 2015 year. This month's Spotlight on Service focus is Providing Basic Needs. There are many people in our very own community who lack the shelter, materials, and simply the care necessary for daily living. Let us focus this month on clothing drives, toy drives, and canned food drives. Still wish to do more? Another idea is to have a gift basket contest to see which group can create the best care package to donate to those in need! Look for more events to do in the December Service Projects Guide. Also, don’t forget to join the Service Projects Reflector to follow up on messages, monthly SOSP updates, and information pertaining to service projects.

Candidates running for a District Executive Position should run for endorsement at their Division Conclave. 2. Are there any pre-election functions that the members should be attending? Commonly, a “Meet & Greet” is held on the first day of District Convention Overview: An informal, open session for members to personally talk to candidates. Purpose: To give members a better understanding of candidates’ goals and qualifications. 3. What will members be doing? Talking to candidates and asking questions to prepare for caucusing!

Before caucus begins, are rules/procedures/other information shared with the attendees? The Policy, International, and Elections Committee hosts the election and releases guidelines for caucus questions in the Candidates’ Booklet. Current Lt. Governors and/or District Board members moderate the caucus rooms. 5. Is there an introduction of candidates or list read off before the elections of the candidates? Candidates create their own literature (1 page) to be compiled in the annuallyreleased Candidates’ Booklet. Candidates are announced as they enter each speech/caucus room. 6.

BEE RECOGNIZED John Baik 19 South | Historian “As one of two historians in North High Key Club, I took pictures of volunteer events, DCM's, and banquets. After taking the pictures, I upload them to Facebook to record these memories. I have taken over 500 photos and occasionally recorded videos of special moments. I also made a Star Wars promotional video for the school bulletin to maximize awareness of Key Club. Through an editing program called Adobe After Effects, I was able to create the iconic light saber. But it was much harder than I initially thought. In the editing program, I had to manually draw the shape of the light saber for each frame of the video. In total there were about 1,600 frames, meaning that I had to draw the light saber for the 1,600 pictures of the video. This process took a month and a half to completely finish. Although there was a great struggle editing the video, the triumph was even greater. We accumulated about 150 new members on Club Rush Day.

The Official California-Nevada-Hawai’i District Newsletter Page 42 THE ELIMINATE PROJECT: DISTRICT / INTERNATIONAL UPDATE Compiled by the Kiwanis Family & Foundation Committee and the Policy, Int’l Business, and Elections Committee The Eliminate Project is a global campaign to erase Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) from the world by 2015. Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus through advocacy, fundraising, and volunteering. Kiwanis International has pledged to fundraise $110 million dollars in order to eliminate MNT from the world. Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus is a swift and painful killer disease that has killed 49,000 newborns in 2013 alone; a baby dies every 11 minutes due to MNT. A significant number of women also die to due to maternal tetanus every year. Maternal and neonatal tetanus represents a very high proportion of the total tetanus disease burden mainly due to inadequate immunization services, limited or absent clean delivery services, and improper post-partum cord care. The majority of mothers and newborns dying of tetanus live in Africa and Southeast Asia, generally in areas where women are poor, have little access to health care, and have little information about safe delivery practices. The California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District is committed to donate $500,000 to The Eliminate Project by the end of 2015. One of our district goal is FAMILY, having each member within our district save 5 families (only $9) from MNT. As of November 13, 2014, the CNH District has fundraised a total of $233,725.70 for The Eliminate Project. We are almost halfway to our goal! As an international Kiwanis Family, we have fundraised over $71 million dollars for The Eliminate Project out of the$110 million dollars needed to eliminate MNT from the face of the world. We have eliminated MNT from 35 countries! There are currently 24 countries left with MNT. Thank you for your continuing efforts to eliminate MNT and protect the connection between a mother and her children!

Planning takes a lot of work, so getting your sponsoring Kiwanis Club involved can make the whole planning process a lot easier! Here are some tips for you to use while getting your sponsoring Kiwanis Club involved so that the planning process can run smoothly and efficiently! 2. Fundraising 1. Finding Chaperones Ask the Kiwanians from your sponsoring Kiwanis Club to be your chaperones. Asking early never hurts! (Note: Please be mindful of the new gender policy for chaperones and the chaperone to Key Clubbers ratio) Make sure that they filled out the Kiwanis background check if they haven’t already! (Note: The background check must be renewed every two years, so please check if it is up to date!) Remember to thank the chaperones! They just spent 3 days out of their own time to make this event possible for your club, so please remember to thank them. Write them a card or a letter! 3. Organizing Transportation If you don’t live near Anaheim, discuss with your sponsoring Kiwanis on how is your club getting to District Convention. Organizing transportation early is the way to go! (Note: Key Clubbers who live near Anaheim can find their own transportation, however, this is just a tip for those who live further away!) Ask your Kiwanis Club if you could have a Kiwanis Takeover to fundraise money to make District Convention more affordable for your members. (Kiwanis Takeover is an event when members of a sponsored Key Club attend a Kiwanis meeting and conduct a bake sale to raise money! It’s also a fantastic way get to know your Kiwanians!) Have interested attendees from your club provide baked goods for this fundraiser. Collaborate with your sponsoring Kiwanis Club to see if they could help with fundraising for your club’s District Convention trip. 4. The Registration Process Discuss with your sponsoring Kiwanis Club about who will be registering all of your clubs attendees, dealing with money, and other registration processes! The Communications & Marketing Committee presents… Using the “World Wide Web” for marketing your club events and/or programs can prove to be very useful. Everyone uses the internet! Utilize tools such as club websites, email reflectors, and Facebook groups! example Google Reflector/Website: Create a club reflector and send out frequent reminders. Keep the members you serve updated Create a club website and post photos, testimonials, and weekly agendas example https://beekeyclub.com/agendas# example Facebook Facebook is a good way to market events for groups of all sizes Make an event page and invite members Post pictures, videos, or even polls to find out the opinions of members Posting on social media can be a great way to get the word out! However, it is important to remember that social media should be utilized appropriately. For more information, contact the & Marketing Committee, (Chair Sona) @ [email protected].
