Lieutenant Governor Greetings

Aloha Aqua Apes,

My name is Shu Yang and I will be serving Division 34 North as your Lieutenant

Governor for the 2015-2016 term. I am currently a junior at Aragon High School in San

Mateo, California. Aside from service and Key Club, my other passions include dancing,

going on adventures, trying new foods, and losing myself in a book. I have previously

served as a club president and division executive assistant in Division 34 North. I am tru-

ly ecstatic and blessed to be able to continue to serve the APEtastic members of Division

34 North.

I would like to take this time to welcome you all to the new term. Whether you are

a returning or new member, the 2015-2016 will be an unforgettable, special, and possi-

bly tumultuous year for you. I hope you will all answer the call for service frequently

throughout the term as well as support the ohana around you when challenges come up.

Thank you for putting faith in Key Club International, the California Nevada Hawaii

District, and Division 34 North. I am looking forward to hearing from and seeing all of

your BEE-autiful faces soon. As you embark on a new Key Club journey this term remem-

ber to continuously set goals, overcome, and thank. Do not forget to give thanks to the

ohana you’ve made, the advisers who are there at our events, and your family for trying

to understand the unique world of Key Club along with the silly acronyms.

Throughout this term please never hesitate to contact me with any questions, com-

ments, or concerns you may have. I am here to support and serve you all as your Lieu-

tenant Governor but first and foremost a friend. Until next time, keep calm and APE on.

APE cracy for service,

Shu Yang

Introducing Your Ape Presidents

During the Key Club year, you will get to know many

wonderful individuals who are extremely dedicated to

Key Club. Here are some biographies on a few out-

standing individuals who have stepped up to the chal-

lenge to serve their home clubs.

MILLS~ Ffion Sun

Hi I'm Fion Sun and I'm currently a sophomore from Mills

High School. I love to listen to music and hang out with

friends. Besides that, I also love to help out the community.

In my free time, I enjoy taking pictures with my camera being

super artsy fartsy. Go aqua apes!

LOWELL~ Thiện Văn Trần

ALOHA AQUA APES!!! My name is Thien Tran and I'm the president of

Lowell Key Club. I joined my school's Key Club in the fall of my sopho-

more year and I immediately grew a passion for volunteering as well as

the social aspect that is central to the club. This new term is incredibly

exciting for me because I have loads of ideas that I'm hoping to imple-

ment this year with the help of my board for my club. It's going to BEE

great! peace out

ARAGON ~ Kelvin Yang

Aloha Division 34 North! My name is Kelvin Yang and I'm serving Ara-

gon Key Club as their president for the 2015-2016 term. I am currently

a sophomore and joined Key Club my freshman year. I went to some

events as a freshman, but my true Key Club moment happened at

RTC 2014. It truly brought me to see what Key Club is all about. On a

separate note, I love to read, eat, and sleep. I'm always open to meet-

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO~ CrystalWong

My name is Crystal Wong and I am the South San Francisco Key Club

president for the 2015-2016 term. I am a sophomore this year and an in-

coming junior next year. I fell in love with Key Club freshmen year of high

school and was appointed as vice president. I have been inspired by others

to become a leader for our school's club. I hope to serve an APEtastic term

with all of you!

Iris Hung ~ Mills

I couldn't have asked for a better first and last DCON. Even though we arrived late during the first gen-

eral session, I had blast spending the weekend with all my closest Key Club friends. It was a good way

in closing my four years as a Key Club member and officer. After spending four years in Key Club, I

learned a lot from the seminars and I was glad to learn new things from some of the workshops there.

My favorite part of DCON was the general sessions because there was so much energy. Another fun

event held at DCON was the Governor's Ball, where the whole dance nearly turned into a rave. I had

never felt so much Division pride as when Mary Kim was announced as the District Treasurer at the last

general session. I'm going to miss Division 34 North

so much and I could not be more proud of what this Division has accomplished in the past four

years. Division 34 North can only go up from here!

Shayna Patel ~ Carlmont

I thought DCON was a really fun experience

and would recommend all members of Key

Club to go, because you learn a lot of interest-

ing things about many different topics some

not even related to Key Club, you meet a lot of

new people. It's a really fun atmos-

phere! Here's a picture of us stuffing PTP dolls

at DCON. The dolls are being donated to chil-

dren who are hospitalized, the dolls are used

by doctors to show how a surgery is done by

using the doll as an example.

Kelvin Yang ~ Aragon

DCON was truly an amazing and unique experi-

ence for me! Arriving there, I had absolutely no

idea what to expect. The sheer number of Key

Clubbers and their shared enthusiasm for Key

Club completely blew me away! I met so many

new people and bonded with other Key Club-

bers within our own division. DCON was magi-

cal and opened my eyes to Key Club and I can't

wait to go back next year!

Key-ster Eggs

Crystal Wong ~ South San Francisco

For my clubs April service project, we planted Key-ster Eggs all over the

school containing a Hershey's Kiss and a little slip of paper with a message.

Our goal was to make other people's days. After all, Spring Break did just

end. These messages ranged from punny jokes that will crack an easter egg

up to a simple have a good day. It felt so good to see students around our

school open up the eggs and smile. For our clubs first service project, I felt

very proud that it was a success!

Brandon Lee ~ Brandon Lee

I recently attended the April DCM which was held at Child Safety Day in San Car-

los. Child Safety Day has always been one of my favorite events. I have fond

memories f years past and this was the third year I was able to help out. Being

able to work with children has always been fun for me and seeing their smiles as

they go through the bike course is definitely rewarding. I recommend everyone

try to attend this great event next year!

Matthew Kawakami ~ Hillsdale

On April 18th there was a San Mateo Downtown cleanup. I participated in a

group that painted the poles for parking that were pealing. It was a really

great experience and I met a lot of very interesting people. After a couple

hours of working we ate lunch and got to meet new people. It was really amaz-

ing to give back to the community, especially an area that I use a lot.

Thank you to Aragon, Hillsdale,

San Mateo, and South San

Francisco for coming!

Special Games is an annual event hosted by Los Altos Kiwanis that

brings clubs from Division 12 and Diviision 34 together. This also

includes all the Student Leadership Programs they sponsor: circle K,

Key Club, and builder’s Clubs. This year at De Anza College, there

were over 900 athletes and over 50 Divison 34 North members.

Thank you for your service!

Janet Chen ~ San Mateo

The special games was a great place to meet

fellow key clubbers as well as catch up with

the old. It was a great reminder as to why we

all joined key club in the first place- to serve

and give back to the community. The experi-

ence was also rewarding; the athletes were all

incredibly sweet and touched my heart. Their perseverance and

good attitude really inspired me and my fellow key clubbers
