Division 8 Bi-Weekly Email Update | 09.20.20

[Aimee Han]

Hello, Ballers! 

As I sit here, writing this email during the weekend of RTC, I am truly drained! However, if you learned something new from the event, had fun with your group, or made a new friend, that makes it all worth it! With that, I hope you guys all had a fun time at RTC! We did our best to accommodate needs even though the true magic of RTC is the inclusivity of meeting in person. I personally had fun, disregarding the fact that I had to present the same slides 6x but we don't talk about that!

This email will go over the following: 

• District Updates 
• Virtual Key Leader 
• Division Updates
  
• September DWS: Creating a Safety Booklet 
• September DWF: Game Night
• College Guidance Fundraiser for Pediatric Trauma Program [ONGOING]
• Upcoming Events 
• Circle K International: UC Davis Key to College 
• October DCM: D26S x D8 Key to College

• District Updates 
• Virtual Key Leader 

What is Key Leader? Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership program! With training ranging from large and small group workshops, discussions, and team-building activities, students have opportunities to learn leadership skills, make amazing friends and experiences, and engage in positive, ongoing interaction with other Key Leader graduates who will offer continuing reinforcement, encouragement, and growth of leadership skills. Normally, Key Leader is $250, but this year, since it is online, they are making it free! I urge you all to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. In addition, Key Leader is open to students in grades 8-12, so feel free to invite any younger siblings you have! Sign up for Key Leader 2020 here!

• Division Updates
  
• September DWS: Creating a Safety Booklet 

I mentioned this in my last email update but here are further details about the September DWS along with a cute graphic made by DNE Alli! In accordance with September's SOSP (Spotlight on Service Program), we will be collaborating on a safety booklet that informs children to stay safe & healthy in everyday activities. Once the text + pictures have been finished, we will distribute the booklets to local elementary schools. Below are the basic logistics: 

• WHEN: Friday, September 25th from 3-5 PM
• WHERE: Zoom | Sign up here using this link!

• September DWF: Game Night

Who says we can't hold a DWF even though September is ending soon? (No one, which is why we are ;)) The second DWF we are holding will be a game night! Aruushi and Yuna are currently planning the games but be ready for fun & competitive activities and the opportunity to win prizes (everyone that signs up/participate will win a prize! But make sure you're putting in effort because the grand prize is a boba gift card :D) Sign up here! 

• College Guidance Fundraiser for Pediatric Trauma Program [ONGOING]

Starting today and for the rest of the application season, IP LTG Katie will be providing personalized & thorough college advice for seniors that are currently applying to college! Her services are all but not limited to:

• Proofreading PIQs, Common App, and Supplemental Essays 
• Consultations on scholarships, financial aid (FAFSA), and Regents' & Chancellor's Program for UCs
• One-on-one preparation for college interviews 

Her prices are super cheap, ranging from $3-7 per service! She is very knowledgable in what she has to offer! (I would know because I witnessed it all ;). Sign up for her guidance here! The form will be open from now to pretty much at the end of January. 

Question of the Day: Would you rather never be able to use social media again or never watch another movie/tv show? Bonus question: What Disney princess does the colorway of this email remind you of?
