REGIONAL TRAINING CONFERENCE CENTENNIAL HS
Hello Seamonkeys!
Can you believe the Key Club year is already half way done? I am so proud of all the accomplishments everyone has achieved in this short amount of time. Thank you to everyone that attended RTC! I hope that all of the members learned a lot about service and leadership and had thzze time of their lives as well. I had so much fun watching the members learn and cheer together. I cannot express enough just how watching the members learn and cheer together. I cannot express enough just how lucky I am to lead this group of caring individuals. I'll see all of you at Fall Rally in one month!

Until next time,
Our very own LTG, Sheldon Wong, at the Spring Board Training Conference 2014.

This was my first time at Haunted Harvest and I really enjoyed it. It was nice seeing the kids, along with their parents, having a lot of fun. I volunteered at the carnival games in the section where they threw bean bags at cans in attempt to knock them down. When they knocked the cans down, they received a prize such as a stamp, a ring, or a bracelet. It was great seeing the bright smiles on everyone and knowing that I helped place that smile on their faces.”on their faces.”

Attending Haunted Harvest made me realize how much volunteering can make an impact on people’s lives. Haunted Harvest is a family oriented event at Springs Preserve; it is very similar to a fall festival. Our school worked at the carnival games area, and we were separated into pairs or groups of three, depending on the activity. My group was assigned the Tin CanAlley game, where kids were to knock the stack of tin cans down using beanbags. Although we had knock the stack of tin cans down using beanbags. Although we had to constantly reset the cans, seeing the smile on kids’ faces was worth it. My favorite part of the day was getting to interact with the kids. I would encourage kids by saying things like “Great job!” and “Wow! Nice shot!” This really seemed to brighten their days. Also, because we were supposed to hole punch people’s programs and there were three people in my group, we rotated jobs. When I took the hole puncher job, When I took the hole puncher job, I asked kids the hole puncher job, When I took the hole puncher job, I asked kids if they believed they could knock all the cans down in one hit. Their faces would light up instantly followed by the response, “Of course I can! It’s easy.” It was the most adorable thing ever. If I ever get the chance, I would definitely do it again."

It's nice that an event like this may encourage some people who might not otherwise be interested in running to get involved in the sport.When an announcer asked the crowd for whom this was their first 5K, there was plenty of cheering.
