Redlands Bowl Ushering

Redlands East Valley Key Club members were able to volunteer as ushers at events being held at the Redlands Bowl. At these events, those volunteering fulfilled tasks and assisted those attending the performances. Overall, our volunteers helped ensure that the events went smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, such service proves to be beneficial in supporting the Redlands Bowl, and as a whole, our community.
San Diego International Triathlon
MD, SDSPCA, D11
I honestly haven’t been to a service event in a while, so going to the San Diego International Triathlon was actually really fun! At the beginning of the event, the other volunteers and I were organizing T-shirts for fellow volunteers and runners. Then we were driven to a different station as the original one had enough volunteers. There, we helped with setting up tents and tables for the water station. Since the service event was 6 hours, they gave us pizza for lunch (which was really good). We also helped load cones into a truck to be brought to another station of the race. Overall, this service event was great and I can’t wait to go to another!
Fourth of July Parade
WL, Enochs, D46N
On July 4th, Key Clubbers helped out the McHenry Mansion Foundation by helping sell water, soda, ice cream, and other items to those watching the Fourth of July Parade on the route. Aside from having to sell goods, volunteers also went back to the main vendor to restock on anything that was sold out. The experience was very fun and it gave the volunteers time to bond with each other and witness the parade floats that drove by. At the end of the event, they cleaned up, put back any unsold foods or drinks, and helped with any other tasks that the vendor needed.
Region 7 Beach Cleanup
NF, Hollywood, D03S
An event that was a great joy to participate in was the beach clean up. The opportunity I had to participate in this event was great! The activities that I had done thatI had enjoyed were meeting new people from our region, having fun in the water, experiencing the beach with other friends, and helping the community while doing so. It was fun to go out and meet new people that I can hang out with. We also had the opportunity to pie our It. governors in the face which was very fun and exciting. We had done things such as clean up the trash while still finding time to hang out and know more about one another.
Jensen Schmidt Tennis Academy
CL, D16S
From June 27 to June 29, Key Clubbers volunteered at the Jensen Schmidt - Tennis Academy for Down Syndrome. This took place at the Burbank Tennis Center. At this event, volunteers were partnered up with people with down syndrome and did various activities with them. Some activities included an obstacle course, monkey in the middle, and hitting the tennis ball. Between activities, there were breaks for snacks and lunch. The Tennis Academy gave children and young adults with down syndrome a positive environment and a chance to learn more about tennis. We highly enjoyed volunteering for them and hope to do the same next year :)
