6 May 2009 - Hello

We are now in the month of May. Since Kelly said I should update and I have no material to update with, I'll let you know what I've been doing. Banquet is coming up, so I've been busy making the slideshow. I guess this would be a good time to take any song requests, so just leave them in the tagboard. Please don't be offended if I don't use your song :)

The May calendar is yet to be released, so for now, there is nothing to update the events list with. Also, be sure to keep going to meetings and checking this site for information about LQ KIWIN'S Banquet!

18 September 2008 - The First Meeting

Hi everyone! Thanks to all new and returning members for attending the first KIWIN'S meeting today during lunch in the 200 lyceum. For those of you who were not able to attend, here's what you missed:

1) In order to officially join KIWIN'S and attend projects, you must complete a member application and soap form. You can find them under the resources link on the left-hand navigation or you can click here and here. Turn in these two forms to Christina Vu or Nhat Tong, at the next meeting (september 25, 200 lyceum) along with $15 (if you attended a summer project, $13). The latest to turn in fees is October 3, 2008.

2) The fee may seem like a lot, but please remember that we will be driving you to projects. Gas is very expensive. Consider it compensation :) .

3) You only need to attend one project during the year in order to stay in KIWIN'S. But being in KIWIN'S is about giving to the community and making new friends, so we encourage you to attend more projects! Especially since we're giving you free rides.

4) You should join KIWIN'S because...
- It’s WORTH it
- Community service scores major points on college apps
- KIWIN’S is a well known club in college. They even have a college version of our club called Circle K
- We are a very social club. You can make lots of new friends!
- The most prestigious club on campus!
- Ask any returning members that attend projects with us! It’s SUPER fun, even if the job is really lame.
- You get FREE STUFF (especially FREE TSHIRTS!)

If you have any questions you can contact us. If your parents have questions, they can call (714) 487-3048 or contact us as well.

14 September 2008 - Welcome

Welcome back to school everyone! The La Quinta KIWIN'S new website layout is officially complete and available to the public for view. Thanks to everyone who gave me comments and critique. The new layout also comes with some new content and special features! It is now possible to write and leave comments about past events and fundraisers (click events/fundraisers in left-hand navigation to try it out!). Contacting KIWIN'S has been made even easier with a new user-friendly form on the contact page. The board member, alumni, and member of the month pages (and much, much more!) have been upgraded as well! Feel free to leave any suggestions in the tagboard :)

I'd like to take a moment to welcome all new and potential members of LQ KIWIN'S. On this website, you will be able to find any information you need about projects, board members, meetings, and just about anything related to KIWIN'S. The process of joining a club can be difficult because of the paperwork, but everything will be explained at our first meeting on Thursday, September 18 in the 200 lyceum. Thanks for considering us to be a part of your high school career!
