Reminders:
Why did I pick Ethan as Member of the
Month, you may or may not be asking
yourself? LOL
I picked Ethan because of his dedication
and commitment to Key Club. He has
passed out agendas at every meeting, he
seems to be getting to know new members,
and he is always welcoming. Ethan is
committed to service. That’s the way it’s
supposed to be. Being a Key Clubber is
about service and commitment. Ethan has
shown his commitment through his passion
and Key Club values. Congrats Ethan!! :D

The New Board Going Back in Time: Past Events
School Clean Up By: Celine Endy
Today’s Key Club School Cleanup at Clark High School was really exciting. I had to wake up
really early on a Saturday but it was going to be a blast. We have so many new members joining key
club! Everyone split off into groups to pick up trash with gloves on our hands. My group was Margaret,
Connie, Shirley, Catherine, Sam, and Jenessa. I met a couple of people while we picked up trash. I
was surprised Sam had the guts to pick up a guy’s underwear off the street. At least the street is clean
now and nobody else has to pick it up. (:
After we were done, we had filled up one trash bag. I felt really pleased that we all helped to
clean up the school because we are doing a favor for the faculty especially the janitors. Then we
had a friendly competition of “I’ve Got Spirit Yes, I do. I’ve Got Spirit, how about you?” cheer. I was
glad to see everyone screaming loudly. The DOWN cheer is one of my favorites although it is kind of
awkward going down. hahaha
If anyone saw me cheer then look at my legs and shoes, it was because I had a lot of ants
crawling up my legs! Did anybody else have ants? I am really scared of bugs of all kinds. I’ll be the
one screaming and running away. How embarrassing!
Anyways, I saw that a lot of the freshmen were embarrassed to cheer. Come on freshmen! I
was really thrilled though at the first meeting that some had the guts to come to the front and cheer.
It makes me proud. I give those freshmen props. Haha I hope the freshman get used to all of our
cheering. It’s a big part of key club (other than community service of course). Cheering is a lot of fun
especially when cheering with all of your friends. It really shows how much spirit you have. They better
be ready for RTC because Clark is going to win!

Car Wash for American Cancer Society By: Carl Lai
Park Social By: Kyle Wong
The Park Social was great! I got
there a little late, around 1 minute, haha.
The first thing we did was discuss the rules
of the water balloon fight. We could only
grab 2 at a time, and we couldn’t throw
them right when we got them, even
though we did! It was pretty crazy
though! I dumped water on Bryan and
Roshan (: The whole fight only lasted
around 5 minutes. Since the water
balloon fight ended earlier than
expected, we decided to play capture
the flag. They served us hot dogs and
chips, and overall it was pretty fun!
The car wash was fun! It wasn’t the
perfect day to have a car wash, because
the weather forecast predicted rain. It's
funny because we all thought it would
decrease the amount of cars that we
washed, but it actually caused more cars
to come, after the sun came out of course.
The car wash started off slow, but once the
sun came up, it got going. The jobs were to
wash cars, make signs, and advertise on
the side of the street. It was fun, spraying
each other with water, while still getting the
cars washed!
The members gather for a quick lesson on a new cheer.
Members diligently wash a customer’s car.

Going Back in Time: Past Events
PB&J Sandwich Making By: Ethan Nihipali
On September 23, 2011, Clark Key Club
had to belong in the kitchen.
After school on Friday, September 23,
2011, a variety of students in Clark Key Club
have signed up to a fun event, making PB&J
sandwiches for the homeless. With 25 pounds
of peanut butter, 25 pounds of jelly, and TONS
of bread. After setting up tables in the
cafeteria, all of us got a pair of gloves, and
two plates, one filled with peanut butter and
one filled with jelly. In my group, it was Alexis
Acob, Ashley Hill, Sam Tao, and myself. Ashley
would spread the jelly on one slice of bread,
and Alexis and Sam would spread peanut
butter on one slice of bread (because the
consistency of it made assembling
sandwiches slow) and they would do epic
high fives to put together the sandwich! Also,
I bagged the sandwiches and then, an
officer would carry them over to another
table. In half an hour, we made what
seemed like countless sandwiches, and we
ran out of peanut butter and jelly! We also
had bread left! Oh well, we did a good thing
for the homeless, and this event was so much
fun.

Going Back in Time: Past Events
Ronald McDonald House By: Olivia Ho
The Ronald McDonald House event turned out to be pretty fun! It was my second
time doing the event, and both times I had a good experience. For the residents, we
made Greek food. Bryan was the one in charge of the event, and altogether we made
stifado, stuffed peppers and tomatoes, salad, spaghetti, and lightly seasoned potatoes.
For dessert, we made chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate cake, and red velvet
cake.
At first, we were only planning on making the first three dishes, however, we
found out that we would need to make more food for about 25 people. Luckily, their
pantry was available to us, so we made use of it and cooked more food. I would
definitely do this event again in the future.
Clark High School Blood Drive By: Yuri Kim
The blood drive was held on September 30, 2011. As usual, it was held in the
auxiliary gym. Students over 17 years of age at Clark High School got to get out of their
class to do something for a good cause, which was to donate blood. Members of our
Clark Key Club helped sign in donors and made jelly sandwiches so that the donors
wouldn't faint. Some of them also went to people’s classes who signed up to go and
get them in case they forgot about their appointment. After a long, hard day, there
were 119 units of blood collected, which was a total of 357 lives saved! This event is
really meaningful, and knowing that even though you feel weak and drained, in the
end, you were able to help save a life!

time has gone by. You guys have shown amazing effort this month and have made me the
proudest president. We served over 800 HOURS!!! :OOOOO We BEE COOL!
This past month we have had car washes for charity, school clean ups, socials, the first

have shown. It makes me a proud president. :D
I would like to give a special congratulation to the class of 2015. You guys have shown amazing
effort and spirit for this club. I know it is sort of overwhelming, but I am beyond proud of all of
you. Thank you for all the work you have put into this club over the past month. I can’t
encourage you more to stay with this club for your entire high school career.
Key Club is not easy. We work hard. We volunteer for long hours. We fundraise like crazy. But Key
Club has offered me a great experience in high school with good memories. It has changed me
into a leader. Key Club has shaped me to the person I am today.
So let’s have a great year Key Club. Let’s build this year up with excitement, spirit, and service.
