On June 1, 2014, the Cystic Fibrosis Walk was held at
Foley Square Park. It was a really fun day where everyone got to
enjoy themselves and meet new people, especially the children! We
were separated into two groups, the cheerleading squad and the
Kids Korner team. Personally, I had a wonderful time because I was
at the Kids Korner and I got to play with a lot of children. They were
adorable! It was nice to see them enjoy themselves and play with
one another. There were fun games for the kids to preoccupy
themselves when they got bored, and of course we got to play it
too. We all got free T-shirts, Arizona hats, pens and key chains, (lots
of free stuff), and even free food was provided for us. Oh, and you
can't forget the Zumba dancing! Yeah, that was definitely
interesting and funny. Even though it was tiring at the end, it was
worth all the time and effort for this amazing event.

On Sunday June 8th, I participated in the Puerto
Rican Day Parade. It was not only an educational experience,
but also an enjoyable one. We first met up at Marriot Marquis
Hotel. There we met a fellow volunteer from Bryant High school
and many other older volunteers. We then received a huge
selection of breakfast pastries and snacks. They even gave a
free t-shirt and a pen made out of recycled material. Yay! I still
have it! Afterwards we walked in the parade, and we were
reasonable for picking up recyclables. Many people cheered
for us. It was awesome. We got free pizza and lots of food like
icies. It was genuinely a fun experience and would like to go
again.

June 14th was the day of the Taiwan Volunteer Appreciation
Street Food Party; it took place in Taiwan Union Christian Church,
Queens. The party started at 12pm, but I arrived at 12:15pm. I was
having trouble finding the place, so I called my key club
president, Shanjida. We were able to go to the party because we
volunteered for Passport to Taiwan. Only three people showed up
from LaGuardia Key Club because some of them were not able
to go because they did not volunteer for Passport to Taiwan. But I
am sure, that the people who didn’t volunteer for passport to
Taiwan regret it.
When I arrived, everyone was already eating. They were
making everything that they sold during Passport to Taiwan. They
made oyster omelet, shaved ice, iced tea, fish ball soup,
sausage, Dracula Popsicles, and a lot more. There was also a
raffle, I won a CD. Heidy Cordero also went and she won a
keychain. It was a very great experience and I don’t regret
volunteering for Passport to Taiwan.

On June 15th, 2014, Bronx Science high school held a
movie fundraiser to see The Fault in Our Stars. Everyone knows
about this outstanding film, based on a novel written by John
green. The movie was a perfect mix of comedy and romance.
It was both an eye opener and an insightful movie to watch. In
general, it is known that the movie can't compared to the
book, but this film did not disappoint. The fundraiser went very
smoothly. There was popcorn and soda provided, and the
opportunity to meet other key clubbers from other schools.
Overall, it was a great movie to watch, as well as giving
support to LaGuardia alumni, Ansel Elgort!

"I define Vickie Yuen as dedicated,
always present and ready to volunteer.
Her dedication for Key Club, from what
i see is enormous. She is always present
for events and meetings. As well as a
person, she is outgoing and always
willing to interact with her fellow
members. Her positive attitude gives
other members the ability to try harder
and commit themselves more to Key
Club. I definitely can see Vickie as an
honorary member, but i can also see
her in a higher position in the future.
Vickie overall knows how to conduct
herself in events and is able to make
time to attend almost every event;
which is phenomenal. I hope she
continues to strive in Key Club, and
aims to reach for upper level positions!“
-Erik Ortega, Bulletin Editor, LaGuardia
Key Club
“Vickie has shown an outstanding
amount of dedication towards Key
Club. As I got to know her, I realized
she had other obligations she had to
take care of, but it seemed to me
that she still always had time for Key
Club. She once told me that she
even regretted the lack of effort she
put towards the club in the past. She
truly wanted to do her best for the
club moving forward. Vickie is
someone I can see becoming a
model key clubber in the future, and
I put my faith in the fact that she will
continue to put in her best effort for
the club.”
-Shanjida Kibria, President,
LaGuardia Key Club

Maya is the founder of an organization called Maya’s Hope that LaGuardia Key Club has been closely
associated with for quite some time. She has recently entered her new office and is wondering if anyone
would like to intern at her office. The job would consist of doing simple office work and glitter cards. Often
your tasks will be assigned to you based on your strengths. The times are very flexible, but the number of
people in her office at the same time is limited, so if you are interested please fill out the form so we can
schedule how you will work with her. You will also be given credit for doing the work by Maya herself,
outside of Key Club. If you are interested, please sign up on the link below. The address of her office is 31 W
34th st. between 5th & 6th ave. on the 7th floor in room 7065.
