Key Club’s and UNICEF’s goal: to eliminate Iodine Deficiency Disorder from the globe and to protect the rights of children.

Hello Key Clubbers! I don't know if you've noticed, but our board is not full yet. We have multiple positions that are open for you to join! This is a great way to become immersed in Key Club, and is a good way to get to know our board. If you don't make it or think these positions aren't spirited enough, than go for the Division Task Coordinator Positions. Don't worry if all of this seems interesting to you. You can apply for multiple positions in the Division, but you will only be able to do one of those jobs. The division will help you pick out which position you'd be suited for. Sign ups will begin soon!

P a s t E v e n t s Barcode Fundraiser

20% of all of their profits went to Light the

Night, an organization that helps fund cancer

research. I hope you guys all went there and

ordered something, whether it was a drink or a

snack.

Innvision This event is a truly special event

that changes how you will view

things. You will see how much you

have compared to the unlucky ones who

don't have money to put food on the

table for their families. It'll warm

your heart knowing that you are

helping them greatly. I hope that you

will all get a chance to go to.

.Innvision.

Regional Training Conference Not only do you learn more about Key

Club, you will learn many useful

skills. This is a really great

opportunity to learn some leadership

skills that will not only help you in

Key Club, but will help you succeed

elsewhere in life. You get to have fun

with other Key Club members and you can

dance around a bonfire. This is another

event that you should really go to

whenever you get the chance. 2nd Annual Safety Resource Fair and Movie

Night

I don't know much about this event,

but I assume it's a rewarding event in

its own right. You set up children

activities in Cataldi Park. Not only

do you have the chance provide

children with joy, but you are doing

it in a rather nice park. I hope those

who went enjoyed it greatly.

CMF Craft Days These events were good. You sat around a

table help making crafts that they'll

eventually use for the upcoming Chinese

Moon Festival Event, and you got to talk

with friends, as long as you were working.

Some people also helped set up stuff around

the building, but overall it was calm.
