message from your P R E S I D E N T

Hello fellow key clubbers,
I hope that everyone is getting settled into school nicely. I just wanted to let you know that the board is
here to serve you. We want you to become active, dependable, and courageous members, so we encour-
age you to ask a lot of questions. Not only that, we want you guys to be proud of who you are, and be proud
that your in Key Club! Key Club is considered the oldest and largest service program lead by students. Wow!
Doesn't it feel nice being in the number one club of the world! We build character, commitment, responsibility
and cooperation through serving our community. This year I want to inspire all of you to become active mem-
bers and to enjoy serving our community.
Danny Huynh
Key Club President 2010-2011

Understand the D I S T R I C T P R O J E C T
Project Shine: Bringing Light into Someone’s Life focuses on individu-
als with special needs, whether it is academically, physically, or mentally.
As Key Clubbers who become dedicated to this project focus on helping
those with disabilities, we can now be the leaders and examples in our
schools and communities on how we should be treating those with special
needs, and how to help and support them as best we can. As Key Club-
bers, our motto is “Caring- Our
Way of Life”. Those with some
type of disability need people
to care for them and to show
them acceptance. We now
have the chance to exemplify
our motto and truly live up to it.
And, besides directly
helping those with special
needs, we can also work on
educating and spreading
awareness to people in our
community about the different
disabilities. It would offer peo-
ple a better understanding on the various types, which in turn can lead
them to be more empathetic and understanding. Overall, our District Pro-
ject is helping to unite people with differences, and to also help to
change the negative ways people with special needs are treated.
SHOUT OUTS
WE WILL BE SELLING CROWNS
AND TIARAS AS HOMECOMING
GRAMS SOON!! $2!!
Kristina Nguyen
As a past board member (class
rep) and regular club mem-
ber, I suggest you guys go to
events! You connect with a
bunch of people. They not
only open your eyes, but also
your mind and maybe even
your heart. I can't stress this
enough: the events are what
truely makes KC worth your
time. Sometimes you have to
ask not what the club can do
for you, but what you can do
for the club.

Key Leader is a program designed to inspire young people to
achieve their personal best through service leadership. You meet a lot of
nice people achieving the same goals, dreams, and experiences. You
form friendship, responsibility, courage, determination. You learn the core
values of life, yourself, and people. Key Leader is a great program that is
sponsored and inspired by Kiwanis International to do just that. The cost is
$160 dollars, but you can get it for free or reduce by applying for the Key
Leader Scholarship! Contact your Kiwanis advisor or Hue Tran
(cnhkc.dt1011@gmail.com ). If you want to go, email Danny Huynh for the
application. Its a great program, life-breaking fun weekend away from
home.

fundraising committee
Last month on August 1st, our club with the help of our club's many volunteers raised over $600 at our car wash
at Burger King. The profits will be distributed amongst our club and donated to PTP. It was a huge success and
went past my goal. I look forward to the continuing support from our club members and others to help our
many upcoming fundraisers a success. Our next fundraiser will be selling Homecoming grams for $2. With a
purchase of this gram, we will distribute one unisex crown attached with a special message from you (There will
be an anonymous selection) to this lucky someone. Together, we will make this year the best with the most
funding we will be needing. Special thanks to Mr. Haydon and Mrs. Wilson for supervising us and Mrs. Wilson for
buying us some supplies and making sure we weren't starving.

membership development committee
Progress on Membership Committee is pretty low still. Materials bought for the bee is what we have, only small
cups needed. Planning on making Bees on second meeting for membership committee. First meeting will be
talking about what the committee is all about and review on general meeting. Talking about what will come
up later in the committee to get them ready or know what's ahead. Members are at low so we are going to
see how many are joining then I will try to schedule a date when the committee days will be opened.

publicity committee
The publicity committee has finished and begun quite a few projects within the last month! Freshmen Orienta-
tion and Freshmen Rally went quite smoothly; thank you to all volunteers and committee members who helped
participate and get the word about Key Club out to the Class of 2014! We are now currently working to recruit
both freshmen and Sixers of all grades through eye-catching posters that will soon be popping up all over the
school. Committee members are needed for future, fun poster-making sessions! Also, if any Key Clubber is in-
terested in applying as publicity committee vice chair or secretary, please e-mail me ASAP.

scrapbooking committee
DO YOU HAVE A CREATIVE MIND? DO YOU ENJOY SCRAPBOOKING? DO YOU HAVE TIME? DO YOU THINK YOU
CAN LEAD A GROUP OF PEOPLE? Then being a historian is a great job for you! The job of the scrapbooking com-
mittee, historian, is open to be filled by you! Be sure to check out the board member application on the web-
site to become the chair of this committee, if you think you have the potential! Anyways, the committee is
slowly growing and the current size is approximately 20 people. No one has been assigned to anything but
take pictures at event, which is going extremely well. Also, vice chair and secretary will be decided by the his-
torian, so if you applied, please hold on. Once a historian is appointed, I (Lisa) will help the historian with the
committee and make a committee meeting. I hope to see many applications for historian.

spirit committee
Hey Key Clubbers! HOW DO YOU FEEL?! Well, hopefully you at least thought of the cheer, if not, join the spirit
committee so you can learn all the cheers there are to learn. :] Unfortunately, we haven't made an progress,
but that's all going to change soon. So if you don't want to miss anything, make sure you join. We'll be prepar-
ing for upcoming events like frn and dcon.

CMF CRAFTS DAYS

IHS Key Club currently participates in the planning of the annual Chinese
Moon Festival at Overfelt Gardens. The Chinese Moon Festival at Overfelt
Gardens brings joy to children's faces with crafts such as paper fans, paper
lanterns, and emperor hats. IHS Key Club hopes to add on to this year's Chi-
nese Moon Festival with lion masks and paper bag animals. For the Fridays
and Saturdays before the day of the event, September 26, volunteers have
helped and will help folding accordion and star decorations and also pre-
pare the many crafts that Chinese Moon Festival will have this year. Volun-
teers hope that in the Garden of "Under Heaven, One Family," every family
that comes to the Annual Chinese Moon Festival will leave with smiles on Calvin and Jeremy folding
their faces. paper stars.

FRESHMEN ORIENTATION/RALLY
With the termination of Independence High School’s Link Crew, the Fresh-
men had no one to turn to. Thus, Key Club, along with help from students
and other clubs, attended meeting after meeting in preparation for the
Freshman Orientation & Rally, held on separate days. During Orientation
Day, Freshmen attended school a week before it commenced in order to
receive their I.D. card, schedule, and ASB packages. The Freshmen, then,
attended the Rally the day of the school year began. There, they were ex-
posed to information about school, sports, clubs, etc. Key Club did not turn
away from the opportunity; we first publicized the club during this event.
