Pre-Fall Rally South:
Whenever you think Key Club, you got to have Fall-Rally and DCON on your mind right?! Well on Friday November 8, Chino Hills High school and Alta Loma High school hosted Pre-Fall-Rally! Key clubbers from our entire division came, some wearing their amazing spirit gear, to meet new people, grab some NEW spirit gear, and most of all, learn our division's cheers!! Literally a wave of key clubbers from all of our division's schools flooded into our multipurpose room, its amazing to think that this huge amount of people is just a very small fraction compared to ALL of the Fall-Rally attendees! It is an extremely important and crucial event to attend before going to Fall-Rally itself, otherwise you'll be completely confused. It is also MANDATORY for any Fall-Rally attendee to attend Pre-Fall-Rally, this goes for every year. Thank you to all Key clubbers for making Fall-Rally one of the BIGGEST events to remember every year! I hope to see all who went at DCON as well! ARTICLE BY: Justin Li, CHHS Key Club member

Fall Rally South:
Fall Rally was unbelievable and is literally one of the greatest experiences you can have. On November 9th, from 10am-7pm, Division 15 showed their spirit and truly became one voice that screamed, Cause were hot, so hot, D15 cannot be stopped.!! Fall Rally was inspirational, everyone present felt united. During the Rally session, we learned how our efforts (fundraisers and donations) were being used in the world. Our efforts have built hospitals, provided medicine, and bought technology for those in need. It was wonderful to hear how we were making a difference in the world. Throughout the day, Key Clubbers rode awesome rides, met other new Key Clubbers, and enjoyed the company of thousands of other loving members from around California, Nevada, and Hawaii. Personally, I meet so many new people that shared my passion for Key Club. It was an unforgettable day with unforgettable memories.

Rolling Ridge Clean-up:

Helping out at Rolling Ridge was extremely fun. I would like to give a special thanks to Austin Chao who came out so early with me to attend an event starting 7:00 in the morning. Not only did we get to work with children from K-6, but we also got to have fun ourselves. In the morning we helped sharpen pencils, help kids make scarecrows, and danced with them. Next, we helped pass out snacks to the kids and then helped out with their PE activity, teaching them how to play capture the flag, and supervising in the computer lab. Towards noon, we helped the principal take out the trash and took a break before leaving for lunch. Overall, it was exhausting, a bit hectic, but extremely fun. Im sure Austin had an equally great time as I did reminiscing over our elementary school experiences and playing with kids. I personally met a little Chinese girl who could only converse with me in Chinese. She told me she wanted to go to Harvard and kept whispering in my ear. Thank you again, Austin, for waking up so early to come to such a special event. ARTICLE BY: Dennis Chen

November Division Council Meeting:
Grand Avenue Park was the venue for the Division 15 DCM (Division Council Meeting). Division 15 gathered at this park on November 23rd from 1pm-3pm to discuss past events, new events, and also decide the specifics of the Division 15 Secret Santa all the clubs would be participating in this Christmas. This DCM was hosted by Ayala, our Key Club neighbors. They sold boba and spirit attire throughout the meeting. Amy, our LTG introduced the new committee that would be forming , Save the Philippines, or STP, not only in the division, but elsewhere in the entire District. She also talked about an Ice Skating Social coming up as well as more information about the Region 13 Winter Formal in January. After the meeting, the whole division split into teams and we all played some games. The first games was sort of like charades. The first person would act a phrase out to the second person, who was the only one looking, and then he or she would act it out to the next person, the cycle continued until it came to the tenth person, who would tell everyone what they thought it was. This game, like the meeting, was so much fun, and the Division, in my opinion, grew closer as a Key Club family.

The Pomona Graffiti Run:
On November 24th, from 7am-9am, Division 15 had the opportunity to volunteer at the Graffiti Run in Pomona. Members arrived bright and early to learn more about their jobs they would be assigned during the run. We were to help out in two areas, Registration and the actual colored powder-throwing. Those who would be throwing the powder were called the Graffiti Squad. Those who were part of the Graffiti squad were split into four groups, which all had a specific color that they would be throwing. The color zones were blue, pink, green, and yellow. The event started at around 9am, and the runners came in waves. It was awesome to be able to throw the powder at the people. My blue station got everyone who came by, and the runners were all blue by the tine they got through our wave of color. I ACTUALLY had the chance to run through the course and it was unbelievable. All the Key Clubbers aimed for me and by the time I had gotten through all four zones, I literally looked like a rainbow. When I returned to my station, all my fellow volunteers looked smurfs. This event was awesome and I want to thank the CHHS members, Rachel Morales, Josh Yuhan, Terry Chien, Matt Llave, and Kaylee McKenzie for the passion and spirit that they showed.

Isaiahs Rock Food Packaging:
Isaiahs Rock Thanksgiving Food Packaging has always been one of our hardest yet most selfrewarding Key Club events of all time. With the collaboration of D15 Giraffes, D35E Elephants, and other clubs from different cities, work that wouldve taken several days to finish was completed within a short 3 hours. From running around, separating canned foods into different categories to going in circles, packing food items one after another, the workload was without doubt a hardcore exercise. But thanks to the refreshments, food, and the famous Hello Neighbor song, we were all more than inspired to continue working. Throughout the years, Isaiahs Rock has been one of CHHS Key Clubs biggest service partners. Everyday they provide dinner for the less fortunate, every Thanksgiving they have turkeys and food that would last families a week or even two, and every Christmas they have toys for the kids who do not receive presents. Isaiahs rock is working endlessly everyday to provide for their community. For us Key Clubbers, their dedication and enthusiasm for service is definitely something to look up to. Thanks to all the volunteers we had for this years packaging, distribution, and Turkey Bucks event, we were able to provide hundreds of families with a happy Thanksgiving dinner. One more month and it will be the Christmas Toy Packaging event! See you all there Key Clubbers and I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! ARTICLE BY: JOYCE XIONG

What is STP?

I'm sure that many of us have heard about the typhoon that has hit Philippines hard. With over 10,000 casualties and already 1800 pronounced dead, with several bodies still on the streets, Philippines is desperate for food and water as cities are in ruins. The situation is very dire and urgent, and as Key Clubbers, I feel that it is our duty to step up and help those around us. Save the Philippines or STP will be a string of committees within different divisions throughout the Cali-Nev-Ha District that will aid the Philippines with recovery. The committee will be of Key Club members that plan fundraisers and organize donations for this cause. Through this organization, we will provide much-needed support.
