The Beginning of a GREAT New Year

Our Key Club is well under way into our new school year! This means new members, new career opportunities, and more fun! We've already had many volunteer opportunities including, but not limited to Pec Pacers, helping the Lions Club at The Pec Thing, a self-planned Community Clean Up, and Becca's Closet. These are a few of what we've done, what we are planning, and what we will do! So let's make this another great year of Key Club, together!


Work At Becca's Closet

There are many volunteer opportunities coming up for the month of October. Mark you calenders, and see Ms. Brown to sign up for what you can volunteer for so you can get your required monthly hours. Every member is required to volunteer for 3 hours each month (one of these hours may be non-Key Club related). Members who are involved in a school-sponsored sport that month are required to volunteer for 2 hours (one may be non-Key Club).


The Discovery Center is a lot of fun, so sign up for what tickles your fancy! Ms. Brown has a number of dates and activities the Discovery Center would like volunteers for.


The Community Canned Food Drive will be October 22nd to November 5th. Positions for volunteering will be open before school, after school, and during the volleyball game, so sign up for a time that fits your schedule best!


Also, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has begun! Get your box from Ms. Brown ASAP to start earning money! This is the last year Kiwanis will be raising money, and the last year the ELIMINATE Project will be in existence, so get in on the fun before the action is all gone!


Remember to check if or when you are signed up to work at the middle school for the Pec Pacers. In relation, the Key Club needs volunteers to work at the 5K on Saturday, October 25th from 8:15 am to 9:45 am. So make sure to sign up soon before all positions are filled!

Scanning bar codes for the runners.

Kiwanis Peanut Days is coming up! It's a lot of fun, I know from personal experience. On Saturday, October 18th you could be sitting in front of one of the many businesses in town greeting people and handing out peanuts to the people who donate money to Kiwanis. And you can work with a close friend and have extra fun!
