Hello JMHS Key Clubbers! The month of June
has been busy with events, which really
kicked us off to a great summer of service.
These events included Classroom Clean Ups,
volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House,
the Divisional Officer Training Conference,
and several Car Washes. Through this, we’ve
managed to benefit our school, ourselves as
key clubbers, and our community. I’m proud
to say I’ve attended all these events, saw the
productive side of Key Club, and enjoyed
helping out for a good cause. Seeing smiles
on people’s faces after washing their car,
receiving “thank you’s” from the Ronald
McDonald House and teachers, and learning
more about the core values of Key Club made
me even more proud to be an active officer. I
can also see the members’ love for Key Club
grow as more of them attend events and
encounter the true key Club experience. Keep
up the good work Wolves! Remember,
summer will be a very hectic, yet memorable
season for us.

The Divisional Officer
Training Conference allowed
Key Clubbers to expand their
knowledge about Key Club as
they go through various
workshops. The positions of
the core board (President,
Vice President, Secretary,
Treasurer, and Bulletin
Editor), leadership skills,
promoting skills, and history
about Key Club are the
different workshops fellow
members or officers were to
choose from. It was a great
way for everyone in the
Division to interact and learn
something beneficial to help
their school club.
The June Officer Training
Conference was a great
experience for me, especially
considering it was my first time
attending this event. I had
never been to one before and I
was very excited to see what
happened. I discovered that
this event is a way to help
current and future officers as
well as members understand
what key club is all about and
what each position does. It
allows all of us to see the
intricacies of every job within
our clubs. I attended the
treasurer’s workshop and I
learned many new things that I
had not known previously. I
also attended the workshop for
fundraising effectively and it
opened my mind to new ideas
for our club. I learned many
new things from these
workshops and it also gave me
an excuse to dress up nicely
which is always a great thing. I
think that more members
should attend an OTC when
possible because it really is an
amazing experience.

On June 9th, we had Officer Training Conference which allowed
many members and officers to learn how to BEE a leader and help
them with their positions for the rest of the term. It was great
watching the new divisional officers as well as some old officers
taking initiative in teaching Key Clubbers everything they know. I
personally enjoyed sitting in for the Secretary workshop with how
entertaining and informative the IP Division 3 Secretary and the
Division 3S and 3N Secretaries made it. Through this event I've
gained valuable information that I may use throughout my life.

Officer Training Conference
As the school year comes to
an end, students leave happy,
but classrooms are left as a
mess. Because Marshall is low
on janitors, Key Clubbers were
given the duty to help clean
classrooms. Tasks include
sweeping, arranging,
sanitizing, wiping, etc. This
gave us the opportunity to
spread the acknowledgment
of Key Club to our school and
show what we do as a club.
One event that Marshall’s Key
Club held within the school was
to clean up designated
classrooms. With the help of our
core board, members
volunteered to clean assigned
classrooms on a scheduled day.
There were three days to
participate for this event and a
handful of members who were
eager to show up. Some
members came to obtain some
hours, and others were simply
there because of their devotion
to Key Club and service. Along
with a few remaining volunteers, I
came to the last day of this event
and we cleaned up Mr. Moran’s
room. We went from sweeping
the floor and destroying boxes to
clearing closets and tearing
down decorations off of walls.
Concluding the clean up, Mr.
Moran gave his thanks to us and
even claimed that Key Club has
been very helpful to him. The
sincere thank you that we get
from Mr. Moran is what Key Club
obtains for its sole purpose,
service.

On June 15th, 2012, I was given
the task to help clean one of John
Marshall’s classrooms, which so
happened to be Mr. Shih's. He was
understanding and provided us
with blue-berry muffins. With such
a welcoming environment, my Key
Club friends and I joyously worked
on organizing books, dusting carts,
and sweeping the floor.
Completing our duty, Mr. Shih was
kind enough to offer us several
math worksheets and study guides
to help us in the following year.
Through this Key Club experience, I
enjoyed seeing Mr. Shih’s warming
smile from the transformation of his
own classroom, and hope to
continue this service next year.

JMHS Classroom Cleanup
As always, the Ronald
McDonald House gives us
opportunities to volunteer by
cleaning, filing, cooking,
associating with the children
there, etc. We interact with
other Key Clubs, and even
LACC’s Circle K, which is a
good way to bring the idea of
Key Club together as a whole.
It’s always a heartwarming
experience to know that we
are bringing smiles to
unfortunate families who
have children that are in dire
need of help.
Even after an exhausting day of school, it’s always a worthwhile and memorable experience to lend a hand
at the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House is such a heartwarming place filled with smiles
and love helping out there.. On June 11th, it was my 4th time volunteering but this time, LACC’s Circle K,
volunteered and chaperoned as well. It was great bonding with an older version of Key Club and seeing how
similar they are to us, high school students. While placing stamps and labels on hundreds of envelopes, and
cleaning the laundry rooms, cafes, playrooms, and windows, we talked a lot about Key Club and Circle K. It’s
great that while helping out the community, we get to meet new people. I always love volunteering at the
Ronald McDonald House and I look forward to the next time I do.

The Ronald McDonald house is a place where an average person like
myself could do a task so simple as cleaning windows and have their
heart melt within a second. I recently volunteered June 25 and the
moment the other members and I began our endless list of tasks like
vacuuming the library, cleaning toys, and wiping down tables that
required us to explore the many areas of the building. Most of the
volunteers began with a simple towel and bottle of disinfectant, but
once I had completed one task, I would return and be assigned
another after another. But I was of course working alongside fellow
Key Club members and board members from LACC's Circle K Club
making the building sanitary for its residents. After the long tiresome
hours fly by and it's time to go home, it's not just about the hours we
receive but the satisfaction of serving our community and the little
thank you's that certainly make your day.

The Car Wash at Coco’s Bakery was the first community service project the
whole D3S has done together for the summer. Key Clubbers faced the heat from
the sun and the hard work from washing cars for hours, yet they never gave
up their serving spirit. It was all worth it in the end when we raised over
$500 and managed to satisfy many customers!
On Thursday June 21, 2012 our
division had a car wash. It was
held at Coco’s restaurant on York
Boulevard from 10 AM to 2 PM. It
gave us a chance to give back to
our community once more. We
offered people a car wash for five
dollars and an extra three dollars
for a special waxing. It was a very
successful event and we saw
many members come out to help
support our division. I saw many
people mingling and getting to
know one another and enjoying
service while doing it. It was very
fun to get a little wet and soak up
the sun with my fellow key
clubbers to kick-start the summer.
This car wash reminded me of the
first key club event that I attended
at the beginning of my junior year,
which was a divisional car wash. It
made me look back on how far I
have come throughout this year
of service. I really enjoyed
meeting new people and giving
back to my community at the
same time. I hope that you
members out there start getting
more involved because it really is
worth it. Let’s make this summer
an unforgettable one with the
power of service!

The Division 3 South Car Wash
on June 21 was a very fun
and successful event. It was
definitely a wonderful summer
experience being able to
wash cars in the parking lot of
Coco's Bakery to fundraise for
our division. Although the sun
was searing down on us, it
was a relief having some
water to splash around to
keep us cool. It was great
seeing many teachers come
to support us as well as
leaving us donations. It gave
us a taste of what our summer
vacations will have to offer
and I look forward to
spending more time with our
Division 3 South Wolves.

Division 3 Banquet The Division 3 Banquet
was the last event the
whole division had
together before
separating to D3N and
D3S. To celebrate our
hard work and
dedication, this banquet
commemorated all those
members, officers, and
clubs who stood out. We
also had a night full of
dancing we will never
forget. Although we are
officially parted, we
will never forget our
spirit of being a D3
Sharkey!
I wanted to take a little time out of my day to make a quick post about Key Club. It really has
changed my life for the better and I will never regret joining. I wish that I could have joined
much earlier and got more involved. Last night’s banquet just reinforced my love for this
organization and how much it positively affects the lives of so many people. I have established
many new friendships and have gone to many fun events that I will never forget. Key club has
become such a big part of my life and I could not be happier about that. I want to thank a few
of my closest friends Chrisline Raymundo, Marion Barleta, and Jeffrey Padilla for getting me
more involved in Key Club. Without their inspirational words and encouragement, I would not be
the same person that I am today. I will continue to BEElieve in the magic of service and I hope
that some of you out there do the same.

John Marshall Key Club bestows
the honor of Member of the
Month to Tiffany Chan. Ever
since she decided to
participate in our performance
for our divisional banquet; she
started creating bonds between
the officers and the members.
Thus, this led her to become
more involved in Key Club. She
has a very lively spirit and even
brought tutus for our club’s
performers to wear. Practices for
our performance and the
divisional banquet has become
a huge eye-opener for Tiffany
and has made her realize how
fun Key Club is. She has also
attended Officer Training
Conference and has become
more aware of the issues going
on around the world and what
she can actually do to alleviate
them. She also helped out with
the Lemonade Stand. She also
volunteered to help teachers
clean their classrooms during
the last days of school. We hope
that she becomes even more
involved in Key Club during her
next two years in high school.
