Fall Rally

It was a rainy and a

somewhat cold Saturday

morning; however, the

weather can’t stop the Key

Clubbers from doing what

they do! Other than the

humidity, excitement was

in the air, as hundreds

of Key Clubbers from all

over Texas-Oklahoma

gathered at Six Flags over

Texas. Starting off the day

was the Rally. Key

Clubbers watched as

clubs had the chance to

gain extra points on their

monthly report by playing

Deal or No Deal. After the

rally, we were let loose on

the park. In the rain, we

rode numerous roller

coasters, and bonded with

other Key Clubbers.

Key Club Communication

Key Club meetings are all

vital part of being a key

clubbers for numerous

reasons. First it personally

connects everyone together.

These days people are

worried about the lack of

personal face to face

communication made

obsolete by new technology

such as the IPhone 5.

Showing up in

bodily flesh at the

meetings show a lot

of commitment and

improve the unity

of our club.

Secondly, it gives

an excellent

opportunity to

listen to the club's (vice)

president. Usually they are

very chromatic and

provide much insight and

prudence in service due to

their respective experience

in service and key club.

Tune in for the next two

reasons on the next

edition!
