Board Elections
SL, ECHS, D37W
This month, our newly elected officers—John Jumalon, Madisyn Wilcox, Julia Vo, and Rory Carter—officially stepped into their roles! Salvador De Leon was initially elected as our Vice President, but shortly after, he was honored with the position of Lieutenant Governor. As a result, we reopened elections for Vice President, and Jazmine Quintanar was elected to fill the role. Overall, this month has been a meaningful transition period as we shift from our past officers to our new leadership team.
Pancake Breakfast
AT, San Marcos, D37E
During this Month of May, Our Key Club at San Marcos HIgh school participated in an event that helped the St. Mark’s Roman Catholic Church and members for setting up and serving a pancake breakfast. The Pancake breakfast fundraiser was an event to provide both an opportunity for the community to connect and for the church to raise funds through admissions tickets. This event occurred over the course of two days, and volunteers from the San Marcos Key Club attended after school on friday and from 7 am to 1 pm on saturday. The fundraiser included setting up tables and preparing plates, and helping decorate the church venue. Volunteers also helped serve refreshments such as orange juice, water, and of course, pancakes. The volunteers from our club were also able to meet the Mayor of San Marcos, Rebecca Jones. Overall, We feel this was a very positive opportunity for both members and community to bond over breakfast and be able to gain community service hours. During the pancake breakfast, we feel it was a good opportunity for our members and upcoming officers to bond and create connections. I feel that there was overall a good amount of participation in this event from our club, and to conclude, was a very accessible and successful volunteering opportunity.

April DCM
SPL, Alhambra, D10S
For our April DCM, we had a lot of fun activities for the members! The DCM revolved around our past LTG Oralee, since it was her sendoff DCM! Because it was a celebration for her, it was in fact the first DCM that I planned! We had activities such as writing messages for our past LTG (some anonymous). We also had a game where members had to draw Oralee from memory! We also had a potluck, where members brought their own food. Overall, we had amazing attendance for this DCM, especially since it was during the end of the term. Our members enjoyed it alot, and they look forward to future DCMs!
