D14 OTC

AG, River Valley, D14

We had our OTC on Wednesday, June 15th. We ran ahead of schedule, but overall, it was a successful event. Our local Starbucks was able to donate coffee and cake pops to us, which was a nice addition to our training. Six of our division’s clubs attended and learned about the responsibilities of each officer. D14’s OTC ran from 8 am to 1 pm.

We watched Teen Beach Movie. The profit we had made from the snacks were donated to the Pediatric Trauma Program. Overall, the meeting was a very fun experience.

Banana Bash Social

KC, Oxford Academy, D30S 

It’s been a while since I have been to a social, but the Banana Bash Social – a joint social between several Key Clubs in Division 30 South – was a reminder of how interesting Key Club events can be, no matter how many you attend!I’ve never been the type of person to text or call much, but I loved chatting with people, in person. After going to a number of Key Club events and having a high attendance rate at socials and DCMs (due to my officer position and my personal love for Key Club), I thought I kind of understood everything and was quite experienced. It turns out, I still have much to learn!Key Club is about service, but also about the connections we can make. As a previous Division officer and a current and past club officer, I have gotten to know quite a lot of people from various places through Key Club. As a result, my contact list has expanded exponentially from before. However, at the recent Banana Bash Social, I met two new people I’ve never seen before, and we hit it off really, really well! During the minion ice breaker activity, I was paired with two seniors from different schools, and it turns out, we all love anime! It was a connection unrelated to Key Club, but we met because of the social. It was so much fun talking with them about different shows, getting to know them better, and just generally having an in-depth, engaging conversation about fictional characters and plotlines! I met another senior as we were considering buying banana bread from one of the fundraisers there, and a new friendship was formed… over banana bread. In any case, I’ve realized: it doesn’t matter how many people you meet, how many times you go to an event, or how much experience you think you have. There will always be more out there to experience, enjoy, and learn! Key Club is just one way to do all of that, and in my opinion, one of the best ways to do just that and more!

Officer Training Conference 

PC, Huntington Beach, D04W

On Saturday June 11th, the Officer Training Conference was held in congruence with the June DCM. At the Officer Training Conference, members who held officer positions all across D04W, D30S, D30N, D04E, D04S, D04N, and D04C all came together at Costa Mesa High School. First OTC, started off with a guest speaker session. Then lunch of cheese and pepperoni pizza was served at the outside amphitheater area. After lunch, our division held the June DCM where the executive assistants went over the old and new business of the month. As well as, giving out awards to our club officer of the month, Regina Chamu, DLT officer of the month, Spencer Royer, and our club of the month Huntington Beach Key Club!! After the June DCM, the opening session was held in the school’s theater room. The opening session started off with a funny and witty parody of Princess and the Frog, which left smiles on faces all across the audience. In the opening session, everyone spoke in unison for the pledge of allegiance and the key club pledge. There was also an introduction of guests and the district goals. Furthermore, the workshops started for session one. This is where officers all across the board like Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers, and Bulletin Editors all received their proper training for their individual position. These workshops were led by our very own LTGs in each division. There was also a second session that covered a variety of topics that related to building core values of being a key club member, which consisted of workshops like public speaking, building keynections, service projects, and even professionalism. Finally, a closing session was held, which discussed our final region events coming up and final thank yous! Overall, OTC was a very informative and fun event, which ensured each and every officer is thoroughly trained and ready for a new successful term ahead!!!
