Message From the Editor

Hello Fellow Key Clubbers!!

Spring Break is almost here and we have several events coming up so please continue to

looks at Facebook pages to continue to be updated. I am glad that a lot of Key Clubbers

attended the events and hope they will continue to do so.

As some of you all might know I am looking for any Key Clubbers that were inspired

at an event or just had fun with something related to Key Club to write a 400+ word

article with a picture to submit to the District Editor. It would help our club earn

point, which we could always use. 400+ words may sound a lot at first but once you get

typing you will have more than enough words. If you are interested please let me, Hope

Carter (the Lt. Governor), or MizMo know. We are interested to hear what you think of

Key Club.

Finally, we have a car wash fundraiser coming up and we really, really need buckets,

old rags, and Joy soap.

- Linda Reyes

Ramp Building

I sat at a behind a window in the warm house wondering what on earth were seven

teenagers doing at eight o’clock in the morning making such a racket. –The Fat White Cat

from the Window thought.

Meanwhile across the street from the Fat White Cat were seven teenagers making lots of

noise but not on purpose. Their mission for that day was to completely build a ramp so a

woman with cancer could once more enjoys the outside freedom. They had to finish this

ramp by eleven but there was one small problem. They didn’t have certain types of screws

and the proper bit for the screwdriver. They at least waited thirty minutes for the proper

material to arrive so they could at least start the ramp. Finally, a white slim car raced down

the road with said materials and the teenagers went straight to work. They were driven by

determination and urgency to finish the project. With the help of the Kiwanians they were

almost done when another problem arose. The flat platform didn’t fit against the wall. They

had to recut the entire piece so it was perfectly against the wall. With a little help from an

unexpected parent the project was finally finished with a few placed screws. The final

product was a beautiful ramp that seven teenagers covered in sawdust built with the help of

three Kiwanians and an unexpected parent. The project was a success not just for the ones

that built the ramp but for the woman inside who was finally able to enjoy the outdoors once

again and not let a deadly disease keep her from the world around her.

Parent Night & Set Up

The sun was streaming through the windows creating a warm setting through out the

commons. Music was playing in the background and students were working overtime trying

to finish their tasks of making everything perfect for the parent that would soon be arriving. In

the back were three long tables that held an assortment of food that would soon be added

to. The drink of the evening was sweet tea that was chilled to perfection. When the time

came that parents were due to arrive a PowerPoint welcomed them. When the parents

were officially welcomed they got their food and watched a very long PowerPoint that was

filled with many pictures that held the memories and the heart of Key Club. Laughter was

spilled when memories were brought up when they saw a funny picture. After the

PowerPoint it was finally time to get to the meat of the Parent Appreciation Night. Parent

finally found out what their kids did on Saturdays and why they stayed after school for an

extra hour on the second Tuesday of the month. They saw why they had to give thir child

fifteen dollars and even 120 dollars for DCON. The parents were finally introduced to the

Kiwanians and then it was certificate time. For each student that was a part of Key Club a

parent or parents got a certificate thanking them for supporting Key Club and thir children. It

was a night filled with laughter, food, and old memories.
