Hi everyone!

 

We have an August Divisional coming up. It will be on Tuesday, August 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at intersection of Central Park West and West 67th Street. Be sure to come to see all your fellow Key Clubbers before school starts!

 

If you plan to attend, indicate that you're attending by clicking this link and filling out the survey.

Last weekend, we participated at Chinatown Beautification Day. Be sure to check our website's gallery to see the group picture. I even saw us on TV at CBD! This was a great event for people to join together to clean up Chinatown and I strongly recommend you to attend next year's event.  

 

Also, can you guys do me a favor? I'm interning at Pencils of Promise (we volunteered with them before!) which builds schools in developing countries. We are working on a webisode asking people: What do you want most in the world? If you want to participate, make a less than 30 seconds video of yourself answering this question and send it to pencilsofpromis@yahoo.com by Friday August 26 at 12:00 pm. It will be posted on PoP's Youtube website. Thanks for helping me out! :)

 

Best,

Hi everyone!

 

Just wanted to let you all know about a new event this Sunday! The volunteer coordinator of this event is a recently graduated Bronx Science Key Clubber, Julie Chen. The event is taking place in Chinatown and it's to help register voters. However, that's not it. There will be tons of fun booths such as Spin the Wheel and Ring Toss. You can find out more if you read this form. Fill it out if you are interested in volunteering at it.

 

Wanted to remind you guys that there still is time to sign up for the Chinatown Beautification Day on August 20-21! Click here for the form!

 

Hope you're enjoying your summer so far!

Hi everyone!
 
Registration for Chinatown Beautification Day has now officially opened!!!!

 

This is a two day event and below is a short description of what you are doing each day. You are not obligated to attend both days, but I recommend that you do ;) That means you can attend one of the days if you are only free for one of them.

1. Workshops (Sat. Aug. 20)
   * You pick 2 workshops out of 8
   * Variety of topics
2. Chinatown Clean Up (Sun. Aug. 21)
   * What it sounds like, CLEAN UP :D
  
Click on this link to access to the form. You will be taken to the form made by me so I can keep a record of the number of people from the Bronx Science Key Club who are going to the event. You will also have to fill out another form (the link is on the form's description) from the organizers of CBD and PLEASE remember to do this.

 
Hope you sign up!

Hi everyone!

 

August is almost beginning and we have 2 events coming up! They're the Damon Runyon 5K and Chinatown Beautification Day. Damon Runyon 5K registration is officially closed which means that I cannot add any people on afterwards.

 

But Chinatown Beautification Day... The registration has not opened yet but I want to give you guys an overview of the event. This is a bit different from our other events because it's a TWO DAY EVENT!

 

   * You pick 2 workshops out of 8

   * Variety of topics

   * What it sounds like, CLEAN UP :D

 

During this event, you also get a tshirt that has a winning design. At the moment, they are accepting tshirt designs until August 7 at 7 PM. I know that we have tons of talented artists ;) who are totally capable of sending in AWESOME designs. Here are the criteria:

- The design should have something that represents our organization (i.e. CYI - Chinatown Youth Initiatives)
- The design should have something that represents the event (i.e. CBD - Chinatown Beautification Day)
- The design should have our theme of the year (i.e. "Our Town, Our Time, Our Campaign)
- Please use lighter color for the shirt, considering the possible warm temperature of the cleanup day
- You only need to design the front of the shirt
- Make it funny, interesting, lovely, and appropriate

Please send the design to cbd@cyinyc.org. You can do the design by hand, a software, or a shirt design website.

 

I'll let you guys know when you can begin signing up for this event once registration is opened, which should be 2-3 weeks before the event.

 

Enjoy the rest of July!

Hi everyone!

 

Just wanted to give you guys some updates. :D

 

The Damon Runyon 5K form is closing on July 29 at 5 pm. If you want to sign up later, I cannot make any exceptions. All volunteers must be on the security list for Yankee Stadium and the people organizing the event will be closing their form at that time. If you are not on the security list, there is no way for you to get into the stadium during the day of the event. Sign up if you're interested. Click here for the form!

 

The Sand Castle Contest is happening this Sunday and you can still sign up. Incoming freshmen who are interested in Key Club will be at this event! If they have any questions, please help them out. Click here for the form!

 

I'm interning at the non-profit Pencils of Promise, which builds schools in developing countries and even Justin Bieber supports them. We have even volunteered with them before! Over the summer, they are holding leadership sessions for high school students for FREE. The first session was last week so there are more coming every week. I strongly encourage you guys to check it out and sign up at www.pencilsofpromise.org/pli. They're held on weekdays from 2-5 pm. You can sign up for as many sessions you can attend.

 

Have a wonderful summer. Can't believe it's almost August so make the most of it!
