To District Board...  I wrote the following in my last board report--reports that every D-boardie had to write before every D-board meeting. For you new D-boardies--you'll get familiar w/ these reports very soon. THANK YOU DISTRICT BOARD! This is for you… Chris – Thank you for motivating me to always believe and to endure even since I was president. I’m doing my best to do the same for you Gov. There have been a lot of times when you’ve literally picked my off of the floor by just saying some words of encouragement. Alex – You always know me too well and it bugs the hell out of me. I’m glad I’ve always had you these past 4 years. We rose together: chairs → e-board → district board. Thanks for keeping me sane and allowing me to yell at you when I’m yelling about other people. More to say at banquet… Alice – OMG! LOUD GIRLS! Forever. I love talking to you, no matter how personal, how heated, how loud, how inappropriate it gets. I always had such a great time with you every time you visited Nor-Cal! Sushi, Pon & Zi, lolcats, blizzardcon conversations… I’ll always remember that one night… Amy - You’re always the best. Always supportive and there when I need you. A lot of people don’t know you on D-board the way Alex and I do. Thank you for always being hilarious and there’ll be a lot of tears at Spring Banquet. Count on it, I got a song to sing to you… Christine – I’m going to show up to your apartment and keep you up all night talking about stuff hahahaha. I’m still amazed at how we have crazy Vegas connections. I’ll be in Reno on the 16th for the graduation so I have to see you! I’m so proud to have shared Northern Cal-Nev with you. Horacio – Awww Horacio! Where have you been! I’m sure you’re super busy… All good, just know you’re always welcomed to stay at my apartment whenever you need hahahaha! Danny – I’m so glad you came to visit for DLSSP-North! So many good bonding times and singing! Sorry for taking you to lecture only to see a bunny slaughtered (I don’t think either of us will forget :[ ). I’m so proud of everything you accomplished that weekend and this entire year. Great job. Andi – I’m amazed at all the things you do and how you have so much passion for everything, especially the Kiwanis Family. Thank you for opening up your crazy house to us. You have the coolest Vietnamese understanding dog ever and we’ll always be the really angry, loud d-board girls. Maria – I like how you always ask everyone for advice to improve your leadership style. Thank you for being so supportive. I swear, I feel like I don’t do much at times but you’re always like, “You’re so wise…” HAHAHAHA. Tiffany – Hahaha, I like hearing you freak out online about all the stuff you need to do b/c you know you always do that. I’m glad you didn’t resign. Foothill doesn’t need that anymore. You’ve set the first example they’ve had in a long time for a strong leader and LTG. E.T. – We will always be angry, loud, and competitive. Why the hell have we always held the same Circle K offices?!?! Thanks for always pumping us up to make fools of ourselves in front of Cal-Nev-Ha. Every board needs someone like you. Ruben – I appreciate your unending light-heartedness and spirit. You’re always down to do anything and thanks for all of your divisional and district support. Long – You’re such an open guy, which allows the rest of us to open up to you. I enjoy our short, random 4AM AIM chats and dang you for encouraging me to stay up all night because I did that one night. Thanks for the support, you’re so much fun, and I love cheering with you! Berkvine?! Honyin – YOU MAKE ME LAUGH. Seriously, all the time. I swear some of the things that come out of your mouth are hilarious. Thanks for touring Golden Gate with me in September and then coming back to have long conversations in my living room when I should’ve studied for finals. Monica – Many props for taking on the great challenge of FTC. I had such an amazing last FTC. The perfect way to end these 4 years, thanks! Good luck on Mission College! Yay for Golden Gate growth! Gail – You developed me into the leader and person I am today. You helped me become expressive, caring, and showed me that it’s okay to wear your heart on your sleeve—smile, cry. Just let it all out. Thank you President Mom and LTG Mom. I wouldn’t have followed anyone but you. Francis –You’re like my little brother! You’re so great! Maybe it was destiny that we have a future beyond our awkward high school meetings. I’m so glad we ever served on the same board together. I love your creativity and energy. You’re going to be an amazing president! Richard – You’re so awkward but not the bad kind of awkward. You’re as enjoyable as the first day I met you sitting in that hall at ICON in Portland. I enjoy talking to you no matter how random. Thanks for always bringing up the Who Rocks this house cheer hahaha. DCON will be glorious! posted by Cheriz Cajita at 10:06 AM 1 Comments

Thank you Golden Gate!  To my dearest Guardians of the Golden Gate Division, This past Sunday marked my very last DCM as your Golden Gate Lieutenant Governor and it's crazy to think about how it was almost 1 year ago that I held my first one in April. Every year I can't believe how fast time passes and it's relieving and sad to think that wow, I don't have another Circle K office to fulfill next year. As of District Convention, I will be completely done with my, I guess you could call it a "Circle K Career." I'm very proud that I held all the offices I did in this organization and am surprised at how much I loved each one of them--UC Berkeley's Spirit & Social Chair 06-07, President 07-08, and now Golden Gate Lieutenant Governor 08-09. Each was a very different and worthwhile learning experience. I know that what each of these offices put me through developed me into the leader and person I am today. I remember being scared about taking on each position and when I look back on it I'm so glad I made the decision to put myself out there, take risks, to make mistakes, and learn from everything. It's amazing to think of all of the different opportunities and learning experiences a leadership role can give you. I've said it a million times before and I'll say it again, "If you ever have the chance to become a leader, take it. It will be difficult and stressful but the rewards at the end are unimaginable and well worth your efforts. You’ll become a better person as I believe I have from this experience." Okay enough with my leadership reflection. You won't completely understand until you've put yourself in the same position, so do it! Thank you Golden Gate for an amazing year. I'm thankful to have worked with such wonderful presidents. Needless to say there's always going to be drama throughout the Circle K year but you all made it through. Thank you for helping me by offering project of the month ideas and hosting my DCM's. You guys did an amazing job of supporting each other and the rest of the district. I enjoyed the hours of conversations I had with you all and I'm proud of the relationships we've established on a professional and friendly level. I'll always remember visiting your club's general meetings, helping you at your board retreats, seeing your clubs reach new heights, and watching each of you develop as leaders yourselves. I'm always so happy to see the Guardians at full force at divisional and district events cheering together. I think this year we've never had such a large, consistent amount of attendance to my Divisional Council Meetings (DCM's) and divisional projects. I mean we had 70 people at our last DCM and about 60 at our February project, now tell me about divisional unity. Actually, I'm surprised at how so many of you are willing to listen to my loud mouth talk and even yell at your for an hour every month. HAHAHAHA. We always roll deep at district events--usually rolling in with over 100 members easily. That makes for a lot of volume and lots of time spent making spirit supplies for me hahahaha. Remember all of the hilarious moments--competing to see who can get the most food donations, our favorite honorary Guardian Khin Win from UC Davis, Capi-Gate Dance Crew practices, planning spirit for FTC & DCON, and endless cheering. I'm so proud of you kids. With 259 (20%) of Cal-Nev-Ha's 1241 members, together we performed 27,225.9 (32.2%) of this year's total 84,425.3 service hours, fundraised $15,208.94 (43.2%) of the total $35,236.34 raised for our district fundraising initiatives, and performed 364 (33.3%) of the district's 1092 interclubs. I marvel at how we accomplished everything in 1 year. Now let's rock out and celebrate this crazy year together at District Convention. Congratulations on an explosive, successful 08-09 term and thank you for giving me the honor to serve as your 08-09 Lieutenant Governor. I love you Guardians! Love, Cheriz :] HTTP://cnhgoldengate.org posted by Cheriz Cajita at 6:50 PM 0 Comments
