THE DNE RAWRS
Hello D20 Tsunamis and D32 Dinosaurs,
Hello everyone! I hope all is well, and that
everyone had a rawring, fun-filled summer. The
new school year has begun, and that means new
members for the Key Club year! Take the
beginning of the year as an opportunity to start
strong. Fundraise, bond, and serve early-on and
often; and you will grow steadily as the year goes
on. And speaking of fundraising, I am looking
forward to seeing your faces at the Awake-A-Thon
and Fall Rally to raise money for PTP. Also,
don't forget about RTC! Best wishes to you
and your club. Surf the million waves of
service, and make a difference.
Surfing the MILLION Waves of Service,

1 LTG Message 3
Hello Division 20 Tsunamis and D32 Dinosaurs, I'm excited to introduce the new Region 15 phrase for 2012-2013 Key Club year, "Our MLLION Waves of Rawring Service Can't Be Stopped", and I also hope you like the logo. I am so glad it's really convenient with the 2013 District Convention Theme, "A MILLION Waves of Service"! Please remember to at least send 4 representatives to the Region Training Conference which is on the September 29-30. It's vital to me to have each club represented, due to the fact that I'm the chair. I would really appreciate your help! I hope you all are excited about the Division 32 Awake-A-Thon where we hope to raise enough money to help us reach our goal of $3,900 raised by Fall Rally from Divisions 20 & 32 for the Pediatric Trauma Program. Remember, each club should at least raise $300! I know WE can do it! Sponsor a dine-and-donate where one day a restaurant donates a portion of their proceeds of the day to you (if you ask them). Or do a school-wide fundraiser where you place canisters in each classroom and hold a competition to see who has the most, and then reward them. Or don’t forget the time-honored good ol' bake sale. Let's help those children who have unintentional injuries and get doctors trained so they can help them. Together, we can lower the probability of unintentional injuries for children. Go to the Awake-A-Thon to bond with the division, meet new people, help the Pediatric Trauma Program, and just have a fun time! I SERIOUSLY WANT EVERY CLUB THERE... I MEAN, A LOT OF YOU HAVE BIG KEY CLUBS. IT'S ONLY $15 (: -- $10 of the registration cost goes directly to support the PTP cause. The final $5 helps pay for food and other costs of the night. I hope all of you are having a wonderful time at school, but remember time-management is important. If you ever need help with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me or the division leadership team. We're here for you! (:

Let’s Welcome the New School Year
Summer has dwindled down, and the new
school year has already begun. As sad as we might
be saying goodbye to the summer sun, or as excited
as we are to go see our friends, let’s not forget
member recruitment. School Registration is a perfect
place to attract new members. Here is a page from
the Calif-Nev-Ha CyberKey to help you and your
club get new students excited to join Key Club. It’s a
new year, and what better way to start the year than
with brand new, excited members. There are a
million reasons why your classmates should join
Key Club and there are a million ways to show them,
what a great club it is……so go out there and don’t
be afraid to invite someone to your next meeting.
Good luck!

Kiwanis members from several clubs in Division 32 recently attended their District Convention, held in Santa Clara. There were opportunities for attending informational workshops, participating in large general sessions, being entertained a special luncheons and dinners, and viewing displays in an exhibit hall. One of the highlights of the convention, for me, was the chance that my husband and I had to participate in the “Kids Against Hunger” service project. We signed up to replace a workshop with time spent packing nutritious meals to help feed hungry children and adults. The Kiwanis members at the convention packed 40,000 meals! My job for a solid hour was to use a “hot seal” gadget on packets of rice mixtures. It was actually fun, because I spent the time talking with other Kiwanis members who were working alongside me! I attended a really great workshop called, “The Best Ideas are Worth Sharing”. The workshop organizer had arranged so that different people would come in every 8 minutes to present a new service project idea. My favorite idea was one where Key Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs worked together in the Sacramento area to make cloth dolls that were then given to the local children’s hospital for the doctors to use to help children learn about their upcoming surgeries, and other procedures that might be frightening to them. I got the doll pattern, and instructions, and I’m hoping that we can do something like this project in Division 32…. And then give the dolls to the Oakland Children’s Hospital as part of a division-wide push for a Children’s Miracle Network activity. One of the more exciting moments for our Kiwanis members from Division 32 was when our 2012-13 Lt. Governor was installed into position. We are lucky to have Mr. Doug Braik, from the Santa Rosa Kiwanis Club coming on-board to lead us for this next year.

Speaking of our Kiwanis…. Let’s learn more about the Cal-Nev-Ha #1 service focus
This is the cause that we fondly call, “PTP”. Our upcoming Awake-A-
Thon is an effort for all of us to honor our Kiwanis by helping them
fundraise for this project. Check out the next pages to find out more
about the Awake-A-Thon, and how you might be able to raise the
money to come up with the entry fee to participate! (Of the $15 cost to enter,
the fun and games that night, $5 goes to pay for the food + other expenses and $10 is donated
to the PTP cause.)

Get a jar and label it with the cause
Talk to the management of a local grocery store
Set up 2 hour shifts of students asking for donations
outside the store on the weeknights before 9/15
Pay $10 per student of the Awake-A-Thon entry fee
from the money raised (you can’t pay the full $15 because $5 of the
entry fee for each student is being used to pay for the food and other costs for the
night. You need to pay for that out-of-pocket!)
Extra money collected can be part of your club’s PTP
donation that you take to Fall Rally
Thinking it might be hard to get members to come
up with $15 to go to the Awake-A-Thon?

On August 25th, Division 32 held its monthly Divisional Council Meeting at Howarth Park in Santa Rosa. Members from Fort Bragg, Cloverdale, Rancho Cotate, Maria Carrillo, Montgomery, and and Windsor attended. Thank you D32 for an awesome attendance! During the meeting, Jacob Torres, our Lieutenant Governor, discussed upcoming events such as Fall Rally, RTC, and the Awake-A-Thon. This year’s Aweke-A-Thon will be held on the night of September 15th, through the next morning. Jacob also went into depth on the importance of the Pediatric Trauma Program. During the DCM, the Member and Club of the Month were recognized. Congratulations to Cloverdale and Dennise Manalo of the Montgomery Key Club!

Redwood Empire Food
Bank Last Saturday, August 25th, a group of Key Clubbers attended our regular visit to the Redwood Empire Food Bank. We started off by packing boxes with staples, non-perishable foods, pasta, canned fruit, oats, etc. These were going to be given to elderly families in Sonoma County. Then, we moved on to labeling boxes of food, and finally, bagging fresh fruit. We all had a great time, and helped a great cause!

Lt. Governor Jacob is still continuing with club visitations. The most recent visitation was a traditional one, with
Jacob traveling to Santa Rosa to meet up in a pastry shop with the Montgomery students and advisor. However,
another option is a non-traditional visitation. In the last week of the month, Jacob “Skyped” with the Fort Bragg
Club, and actually “sat in” on one of their club meetings! This gave him the opportunity to see how they ran their
meetings, and for the regular members to get to interact with him. Any club wishing to set up a “Skype”-type
visitation should contact Jacob, ASAP.
