Letter from the Editor Hey Guys!
Brian here, your bulletin editor/webmaster. It’s already more than half a year until my term ends. I hope you guys have enjoyed your winter break and did some service over the holidays. If you guys did some service or went to an event, you should write about it and take pictures. I hope that you guys are aware that I am in need of articles and visuals. Remember that I will award you with 1 hour per article. This issue of the newsletter is lacking articles from “different” people and you will find out why when you flip the page. Elections are coming up and I am excited to see who is going to be the new officers for the year of 2012-2013. One more thing before you can turn the page, I will soon be creating a Key Club Video for a contest held at district convention. I will be looking for some actors and anyone else that will be able to help me create this video. If your interested, send me an email or just come talk to me in person so we can figure something out. Thanks guys and have fun reading!

Kiwanis January DCM
On January 14, 2012, my fellow Bulletin Editor, Brian Vu, and I attended a Kiwanis DCM (Divisional council meeting). It was great time learning and talking with our fellow Kiwanians. We learned about K- 1 Day and future events going on. Surprisingly I even did a club report on my own telling the Kiwanis what is going on with my club. Kiwanis DCM is definitely worth the time. Everyone should go to one to create a better relationship with our Kiwanians.

January DCM
January Divisional Council Meeting held on January 10th, 2012 was an amazing meeting. I have never been so fired up to go to CTC (Candidate Training Conference) or been so inspire to get ready for District Convention for this year. DCMs are a great way to get involved in your division and even meet new people who are just as dedicated as you are to Key Club. It was a great time hanging out with fellow D28N Key Clubbers. It inspires me to do more each time I go to a DCM because everyone is so involved in their service and they make me want to do service. Also, learning about what is going on in our district is always fascinating to learn about, for example, DCON or District Convention is coming up and now I really want me and my club to go. DCMs are a great way to build relations with your division and even your LTG, so if you and your club have not gone to one yet COME TO THE NEXT ONE!

December Kiwanis Meeting
During winter break on December 23rd, 2011 along with board members we attended a Kiwanis meeting. It was a very enjoyable time with our hosting Kiwanis club because we got to bond with them and talk about service together. Personally I learned a lot about what we can do in the community from the Kiwanis meeting. Due to the meeting we are actually planning on doing an Easter Egg Hunting event for a children’s hospital together. It was quite the experience; we met at Bootleggers, an Italian Restaurant, to talk about exactly what is happening in our Key Clubs. My board and I do hope to strengthen our bond with our Kiwanis over these upcoming months. If you want to have a more successful Key Club then going to a Kiwanis DCM or Kiwanis meeting is highly recommended. Getting to know your hosting Kiwanis club is a big deal because they can help a lot with funding, doing service, and even chaperoning if your club really needs it. That is what my board and I did over the winter break! What a blast!
