Art Walk on the Bay
BY ALVIN HO| DIVISION 37 SOUTH | WESTVIEW
This event was quite a bit different from
many of the events I attended. On
September 23rd, 2012, the Art Walk on
the Bay was about to come to a close.
Westview Key Club volunteers were
assigned to help artists take down their
artwork, take down signs, and help load
artists’ belongings into their cars.
Unfortunately volunteers were not
allowed to handle the artists’ artwork
PTP Car Wash
BY CATHERINE KIM| DIVISION 44 SOUTH
| FOLSOM
On Saturday, October 13, 2012 Folsom
High School’s Key Club held a car
wash to fundraise
money for PTP.
Starting from 9am to
1pm they worked
washing cars and had
polite conversations
with people from the
Folsom community.
The club separated into
four groups: sign
holders, hose sprayers,
soapers, and dryers.
They all worked
diligently and did their
best to make sure the
cars were shiny clean.
They were not sure if
many people were
due to an incident that happened
a few years ago where a volunteer
ruined an artist’s work. However, it
was still amazing to see all the
artistic talent that was present at the
event. Many of the volunteers,
including myself, got to know some
of the artists quite well, and that was
the difference between this event
and many others. Towards the end
of the event, an artist who a couple
of volunteers had been helping for
quite a while was very appreciative
when he was finally able to get his
stuff together. He even gave those
volunteers, including myself, some of
his artwork for free. One volunteer,
who had helped him for at least an
hour received a thank you gift from
the artist in the form of a fairly large
painting. A week later, that same
artist emailed the event coordinator
saying how helpful Westview
volunteers were! I was very proud
to have been a part of that
experience!
going to show up because of the
change in the weather but many
people were interested in getting a
car wash. With the pre-sale tickets,
regular fees, donations and tips the
club earned two hundred and fortyeight
dollars by the
end of the day. The
club’s goal was to
raise at least two
hundred dollars so
they were very glad
they exceeded their
goal. Folsom High
School’s Key Club was
overall very satisfied
with the great success
they had the car
wash. They plan to
have more fundraisers
and another car wash
this year to fundraise
money for PTP.
Region 04 Training
Conference
BY CHARLIE ORILLOSA| DIVISION 06 NORTH
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
RTC, Region Training Conference,
was filled with friendly, enthusiastic,
new, and familiar faces that
consisted of the members from
Division 6 North, Division 6 South,
Division 36 West, Division 36 East, and
Division 47. As a Region, we officially
met our LTGs; Lily Lewis, Grace Hong,
Art Lopez, Isabella Chu, Nivita Malhi,
and our special guest, Lloyd Chen
(District Treasurer). During RTC, we
had many fun and informational
w o r k s h o p s ; K e y C l u b 1 0 1 ,
Fundraising, Member Relations, and
Officer Workshops. There were also
multiple icebreakers that showed
inclusiveness. We even got to know
each other by eating pizza, chips,
and water.
As expected, the conference was
very informative, but I did more than
just learn. I met new people and got
to know people that I already do.
The ice breakers truly broke the ice
between not only our division, but
our entire region. Never have I felt so
close to people I just met, and I know
that Key Club is my home.
