Opening Chino Hills High

President’s Note

Hello Chino Hills High School Key Clubbers!

I cannot explain enough to describe my excitement for this new year! CHHS Key Club of-

ficers are more enthusiastic than ever to provide you with memorable experiences still to

come-new service events, District Convention, elections, and the banquet at the end of

the year!

In this new year, I hope that you all will take service to new heights and leadership to a

whole different level..and apply for officer for the term 2013-2014! The leadership experi-

ence for me in the Key Club Board truly built my character and gave me the most “warm

-fuzzys” throughout these years. So, if you did not apply this year, I hope that next year,

you will work towards that goal.

Though it is almost the end of the 2012-2013 term (and there is probably only one more

newsletter coming out), it is not just the time to celebrate our new achievements but it is

also the time to meet our new officers and

members! I am positive the next board is

well-trained and qualified to be the next

leaders of CHHS Key Club. I also hope that

as most of you become upperclassmen,

you will greet the incoming freshmen and

new members with the same spirit you

might have seen at Club Rush.

I also would like to give a huge thanks to

you all CHHS Key Clubbers! Without such a

strong club and so many dedicated mem-

bers, I do not think I would have gotten

where I am right now-as Division 15 Lieu-

tenant Governor Elect. I am honored to still

lead an amazing organization again.

Yours in Service,

Amy He

How's it going Key Clubbers?

They say that the new year brings oppor-

tunity. With elections for next year's officer

board, opportunity is hardly scarce. The

club has so much potential; it is actually re-

freshing to hear about someone's practi-

cally kept-secret talent or unexpected in-

terests. From the Region 13 Winter Formal to

preparations made for District Convention,

I can see that the club is, as Bohemian-

Austrian poet Rainer Rilke said,

"...welcoming the new year, full of things

that have never been". This is a new year

for Key Club; this is a fresh start. This is an

opportunity to try new things, perhaps that

one event that you have thought about

going to but have had second thoughts

about because your friends weren't going.

You don't always have to follow others.

Key Club is here to help you develop lead-

ership skills, even if you don't see yourself to

be the boss of a corporation, or the man-

ager of a business, there's potential in eve-

ryone. Take the time and effort to branch

out.

Who knows? It could change everything.

Yours in Service,

Jonathon Woo

Up Coming Events

3 CHHS Key Club

Isaiah’s Rock Distribution on

December 23 is, in my opinion, THE

BEST event of the year. There’s no

better way to spread the holiday

cheer than to serve! At this event,

hundreds of people show up bright

and early on Christmas Eve at the

Chino Civic Center to allow other

families to enjoy a holiday season.

At Isaiah’s Rock, volunteers either

pass out food to the less fortunate

or help carry bags of food each

peoples’ cars. There are lots of oth-

er duties, such as breaking down

boxes, last minute packaging, and

passing out water/ snacks to volun-

teers.

It’s a tiring event, with no sitting

down or little break, but utilizing this

time is just so worth it! It’s great to

see familiar faces from the Boy

Scouts, Police Department, and

church volunteers. You make

friends while over the sound of

Christmas music continuously

pounding on your heart. Every year

this event opens the eyes of Key

Clubbers and allows them to end

the year in the greatest way possi-

ble. I am truly thankful for the CHHS

Key Club being given the oppor-

tunity to witness and participate in

such a life-changing event.

DCON!

5 CHHS Key Club

Hey Key Clubbers! So as you may know, DISTRICT

CONVENTION IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! DCON

2013 is the opportunity of a lifetime to develop lead-

ership skills through extensive workshops, build

strong character, elect your 2013-2014 district

board, install new officers, and form lifelong friend-

ships. We are all so excited to be able to join our fel-

low Key Clubbers from California, Nevada, and Ha-

waii, for one amazing weekend of nonstop fun! As

preparations and planning continue to take place,

the anticipation of each attendee only grows and

grows! Although, not a far distance from home,

considering we will be staying in the Anaheim Mar-

riot, we truly believe that attending District Conven-

tion will be like entering a new world, and we hope

to leave with a new found understanding of Key

Club International, and an even greater love for ser-

vice.

Garage Sale!

7 CHHS Key Club

Our Key Club has just held its

second garage sale this Saturday

which was hosted by our very own

Jaihee Choi’s residence. Our mem-

bers got up early morning to set up

the venue for the early garage sale

rush. Right when we finished

setting up and posted up garage

sale signs, a plethora of customers

rampaged the area. We did not expect to make so much money initially

but our enthusiasm and optimism had truly shown to be more power-

ful. Although the whole experience

was hectic and surprising, we end-

ed up with a great profit towards

our DCON attendees of 235 dol-

lars. We hope that our future gar-

age sales are also as successful but

with more members to attend!

-Kevin Chou

On December D15 held an Ice

Skating Fundraiser mixed with our an-

nual Division 15 Council Meeting. Our

Ice Skating Fundraiser was a great, as

we raised money for the Pediatric

Trauma Program, a program which

helps decrease the number of unin-

tentional child injuries. It was amazing

to see many of our fellow giraffes

from other clubs come together on

December 15th coming to our Divi-

sion Council Meeting to help raise

money for PTP while having fun and

socializing with other members. Be-

fore the Division Council Meeting the

Chino Hills Key Club sold boba to oth-

er members to help raise money for

PTP. Later all those funds were donat-

ed to the organization. This was a

very fun event for D15 and the fund-

raiser was very successful raising over

$450 for the Pediatric Trauma pro-

gram.

On December 21, The CHHS Key Club fundraising event for the Ki-

wanis Chino Hills Boat

Parade was

truly a memorable ex-

perience. At the Boat

Parade, Key Club sold

boba, hot tea, and

cup noodles. Key

Club’s participation in

the boat parade was

not only a successful

and profitable fund-

raising event, but

also a fascinating night for numerous Key Clubbers. Every Key Club-

ber’s teamwork and contribution made sure that everything would

work out. Numerous Key Clubbers worked alongside new friends and

these new relationships will help establish a stronger, unified

Key Club within our school. Even though many of us were exhausted

and freezing on that chilly Friday night, everyone proceeded uniformly

to the tasks and duties we

were required to complete.

All in all, it was a

great bonding experience,

beneficial fundraiser, and a

fascinating night out to see

all the beautifully decorated

boats in the Kiwanis Chino

Hills Boat Parade

Elections

Chino Hills High School Key Club has been go-

ing through a tough time of letting go the old of-

ficers and electing a new executive board for

2013-2014. Elections included an application,

speech to members, and an executive board in-

terview. Congratulations to all who applied to be-

come a bigger part of their key club as they all

were great candidates but it’s sad that we can-

not accept everyone to be

part of the board. We are

proud that over 20 mem-

bers have applied for exec-

utive positions, truly showing

our member dedication has

spread. Good luck to all

candidates!

Teens for Jeans

Teens for Jeans is an on-

going event that our Key

Clubbers has taken the initia-

tive to participate in. The

concept is very simple, do-

nate jeans, for Teens! This is a

newer event that our club

has taken on and it has be-

come a major emphasis

when it comes to our club

meetings. So far we have col-

lected numerous pairs of

jeans from our dedicated

members, hopefully we can

reach our goal of 200 pairs of

jeans by the end of this

event. Keep on donating Key

Clubbers!

Winter Formal


Winter Formal was definitely something that

Region 13 was looking forward too as soon as the

new year kicked in. This dance carried on the fun

of a regular school dance along with raising

money just like how key clubbers roll. From adver-

tising boba to hitting the dance floor with your

best friends. This night of

wild fun has began 2013

with a blast. Meeting so

new many Key Clubbers

along the way along with

reuniting with familiar fac-

es from Fall Rally. The mu-

sic blasted the night away

as it didn't even seem as

long as it truly was! Many

Key Clubbers got to take

pictures with other Key Club mem-

bers and all come together in the

world or service along with fun. We

even had time to interact with our

fellow Kiwanians and had the oppor-

tunity to grow closer to them. The

many new friends and fun night will

be a night that no one will forget and

always remember how great Key

club truly can be.
