Brittany Amano, 15, of Honolulu, Hawaii, a sophomore at 'Iolani School, began volunteering to help feed the hungry when she was just 10, and later founded a nonprofit organization that has assisted people in need both in her community and as far away as Africa. The impetus for Brittany's volunteerism was her grandmother, who became homeless when Brittany was 8 years old. ""I wanted to help the people who helped my grandma get back on her feet,"" says Brittany. When she found out that her church helped feed the homeless, Brittany wanted to get involved.

Everyone raises money from restaurant nights, bake sales, car washes, and what not and I was just so tired of eating at Shakeys after all the numerous fundraising nights we've had there! As DCON fast approaches, our club needed to raise funds to send some of our members to Anaheim and I didn't want to host another boring fundraiser.

As a club that's not even a year old in our amazing and spirited division, my club sent nearly 20 members to this exciting and wonderful experience! I went to DCON 2012, but Fall Rally was a different event. It was so fun to go on rides, see people from other divisions, and plus, it was a great bonding experience for our own division. Not only did we just have loads of fun, but 12 South brought home the spirit stick and managed to buy our beloved 12 South LtG Ashley Lam, 12 West LtG Anuraag Ranganathan, and District Treasurer Lloyd Chen! Cheering as one and seeing even my new members get really into the spirit of the 12 South Super Villains really gave me one of the greatest feelings I've had. I can't wait for big events like DCON and next year's FRN!
