ICON Attending Cal-Nev-Ha’s District Convention,

was an amazing experience to see hundreds and hundreds of Key Clubbers from all over California, Nevada and Hawaii, but Key Club’s International Convention was a different experience of itself. ICON 2014 truly opened my eyes to the scale of Key Club. At ICON I was able to meet people from districts such as PNW, Eastern Canada, Florida, Kansas, Montana, New York, and even Jamaica! I fell in love with Key Club because of the inclusiveness and caring aspects that I had experienced with CNH, and it was refreshing to see that these aspects hold true to the international level. At ICON everyone attended and voted upon the caucusing session, which is where candidates for: International President, International Vice President, and International Trustees had five minutes to convince to vote for them. It was amazing to see how confident, poised and eloquent how some of these speakers really were, it made me completely forget that that these people were still in high school. Definitely my favorite part of ICON was definitely being able to bond with the rest of my region! At our District Convention, because the rules were so strict on having your advisor literally EVERYWHERE with you, I felt like literally the only people we could talk to were the people in our own division, but at ICON, there is much more freedom to just talk to whomever you wish to! I highly recommend that YOU attend ICON 2015, which is being held in Indianapolis (wherever that is). What is in Indianapolis you say? I heard there is absolutely nothing but corn, but who cares because all of the K-Family is going to be there! Due to Kiwanis’ 100th anniversary ICON 2015 will be a joint convention, so even though I may have graduated already, I hope to see many of your BEEutiful faces, as not a Key Club member, but a Circle K member. #palabowlo

WATCH FOR BABIES

4

Watch  for  Babies  was  a  Key  Club/movie  fundraiser  hosted  by  Eagle  Rock  High  School's  (ERHS)  Key  Club  and  our  very  own  in  an  effort  to  raise  money  for  the  Eliminate  Project.  It  was  definitely  an  enjoyable  experience  since  Marshall  was  in  

charge  of  selling  pizzas,  popcorn,  and  drinks.  Who  wouldn't  like  to  sit  and  enjoy  a  movie  while  devouring  a  delicious  slice  of  pizza  and  a  crisp,  cold  soda?  I  know  I  would!  In  addition,  it  was  a  great  opportunity  for  me  to  meet  with  other  Key  Club  members  from  other  high  schools  and  catch  up  with  old  friends  was  great  as  well.  Towards  the  end  of  the  night,  we  managed  to  raise  more  than  we  had  hoped  for  and  knowing  that  the  proceeds  will  go  towards  a  great  cause  makes  my  experience  at  the  Watch  for  Babies  all  the  more  worthwhile.

REGION 7

BEACH CLEANUP

After missing out ever since I joined key

club back in freshman year, I can finally say I attended Region 7's Annual Beach Clean Up! Every year, the divisions that make up our R7 Ohana come together on a summer day to not only pick up scraps of trash at Dockweiler State Beach, but also spend some quality time with one another. With this being the very first time I attended this event, I can say it was

especially memorable! The day started off waking up super early to catch the bus so we can all get to the beach on time. After everyone got situated, we got split into different teams, mingled/introduced one another, and finally got to business. Two hours and dozens of trash bags later we successfully got the job done! Before having the rest of the day to us to eat, swim, play volleyball, etc., everyone got together for the Region 7 group photo. Our beach day ended

with yummy s'mores around a bonfire

and reflecting on the new memories made on the bus ride back. All in all the day was

filled with good vibes and good company. What a great way to serve the community and have a blast at the same time.

On July 20th, I attended a

community event, The Great Root

Beer Taste-Off. As a volunteer, we

were supposed to help set up

during one shift and/or pour sodas

during another shift. I went for

the latter of the two and found

that it was more fun than it

seemed I really enjoyed how it was

so crowded and busy most of the

time; it helped pass the time and

was more fun. It was also really

enjoyable to see the little kids so

excited to have so much soda and

the adults on a sugar high like the

children. I also liked meeting Key

Clubbers from other schools. They

were really nice and great to work

alongside. I think was nice to see

the community come together like

that in such a relaxed and happy

environment. They gave us cups to

sample some of the different root

bears and it was really cool. They

also gave us cute little hats that

advertised that sponsor of the

event and the event itself. Overall,

it was a great event and very

successful, based on the amount of

people that attended and the

happiness you could see on their

faces. I really enjoyed this event.

Meeting new people and

interacting with the community

was a bundle of fun. If we can

volunteer for it next year, I’m

definitely going again.

MEMBER OF THE MONTH

For the month of July congratulations to Belen for earning the Member of the Month award! Although Belen joined Key Club towards the end of her high school career, it is no doubt that she indeed has a passion to serve our community. For the past several months Belen has been working arduously to fulfill internship duties whilst balancing her social life and academic responsibilities. Therefore, her hard work and dedication obviously have prevailed throughout our summer break. Aside from being hard-working, Belen has shown many that she is very capable of stepping out of her comfort zone and serving as an exemplary member of John Marshall’s Key Club. Furthermore, her service has shone brightly as her personality has intertwined with the idea of Key Club, which always leaves an impression.
