| Key Clubs making a difference | |

Even though it's only December, our Pioneer Key Club has been a busy bee in the 2011-12 year! They've had record attendance at training events such as the Regional Training Conference (RTC) and Fall Rally North (FRN), and they've done a ton of service projects. They've also adopted Pokemon in an innovative effort to increase participation. Read all about it in their latest writeup on our SLP page! |

| Annual Holiday Food Drive | |
| November 19, 2011 | |

Each year, Kiwanis clubs in much of California spend a day at a local supermarket, collecting food donations for food banks. This year, our club worked in two-hour shifts at the Safeway on the corner of Almaden and Branham. Safeway's annual food drive actually lasts around 5 days, with only one day of Kiwanis support; regardless, in that one day we collected 65% of all the donations! It's nice to get such reaffirmation that our work with Kiwanis makes a difference. The 285 bags collected were delivered to Second Harvest Food Bank. |

Upcoming
1/14: Key Club CTC. This is a required debriefing for Key Clubbers who want to run for the office of Lieutenant Governor. The expectations and time commitments are explained to them, and if they still want to run for the office they are subjected to a battery of psychological evaluations to figure out what's wrong with them. It's a day-long meeting up in Sacramento that usually needs drivers. (Contact: Chris verBurg)
2/11: Key Club Conclave. This is where the Key Clubbers caucus and run for the office of Lieutenant Governor. It will be held at AMD, which is sort of like the dead space around Endor where the Emperor died -- a giant black hole of suck, stinking of totalitarian micromanagement, selfish evil, and ultimate failure.

2/25: VMC painting. Grab a paintbrush and head to the VMC pediatric wing, where we will be helping to paint murals in the exam rooms! Getting poked by doctors when you're a kid is scary enough..at least we can make the rooms less terrifying. (Contact: Sarah Gianocaro)
3/15: TAS Benefit. This is the year's biggest fundraiser for our scholarship program. Bring something to raffle, or something to auction, or help pour wine! Everyone should buy a ticket and have some really great food. (Contact: Belinda Chan)
5/31: Bike Faire. We hope to conduct our 2.5th annual Bike Faire on the last day of school at Los Alamitos Elementary. Volunteers are needed to fit helmets and pass out safety information. (Contact: Johnny Khamis)
