February Fun

Hello all you wonderful Key Clubbers!!!

 

Old Business:

     We raised about $100 dollars for our Key Club, SO WAY TO GO!!!! Everyone deserves a pat on the back, you all worked so loyally and diligently! We crushed ( Hehe punny.... ) last year's earnings and everything! Also, a HUGE shout out to Jennie Wiegert for running the "Crush for Crush" and helping the Key Club to raise money, and give the club and school something fun to do!

 

Just a few of the many Crushes all ready to go!

In addition, Emily Bullock, Kaylene Cuthbertson, and Sydney DeWall worked the food pantry this last Saturday, and helped many in need. They aided those in need choose food to take home. The foo pantry is every second Saturday of the month, and it's a lot of to fun to work! makes you feel good about yourself knowing that you've done something to help out the people of the community.



Good team work at the food pantry!

We also had another blanket making session with the Random Acts of Kindness club from the elementary school. Everyone worked hard, and we got a lot done!



So many people working together to make some blankets for the homeless!

Finally, the Key Club just helped host a woman's tea time at the Public Library. it was a huge success, so big thanks to Andrew Nestler, Sydney DeWall, Haley Decker, Jazmin Martinez, Johanna Nash, Emily Gorman, and Alyssa Schiesher!

 

New(ish) Business:

     Many of our members have been working hard for the basketball concessions, and we greatly appreciate all your help! We have a few more games, make sure that if you are working that you don't for get!

 

WE NEED YOU!!! For working at the fun fair that is. Please, if you are not already signed up to do so, or if you already are signed up to take another shift. We would be very grateful, as we need as many members to go as we can get! Similarly, please do not change the shift you are working unless you okay it with Ms. Brown!

 

The next two dates for the Discovery Museum are Saturday February 21 ( Discovery engineering ) from 1:00pm-3:30pm and Saturday February 28 ( Sleepy Time Pajama Party ) from 9:00am-12:30pm.

 

The Northern Illinois Food Bank is a great way to get your hours in at the time you can get them! So be sure to find some dates you like and let Ms. Brown know when you want to work!

 

     Be sure to keep your calendars clear for March 28, because starting then Becca's closet will be opening up once more! Becca's closet is a fun way to help out the community, and they can always use some more great help such as yourself!

 

NEW:

We have a brand new volunteer opportunity! The John Flynn Basketball Tournament concessions working is now available so be sure to find a date and time you like and sign up! Our goal is to get everyone working at least one shift. The times are from March 28-29.

 

Reminders:

     We will be selling doughnuts once more next Friday morning, so be sure to spread the word!



Such beautiful doughnuts!

     Nominations for next term's officers are open to anyone in good standing with Key Club ( this means you have all your hours and attend most of the meetings ). Nominate yourself or a friend for President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Statistical Secretary, Secretary, or Editor. You don't need any previous education or training for these positions, although it is helpful. The officers of the previous term will be around to help the new officers if they find themselves needing help. Ms. Brown is an immense help as well, so don't be shy!!!



Three new members owe to the Spastics Paralysis Research Foundation Jar so if you missed something you signed up to work for be sure to pay the fine or make up the hours!

 

     Don't forget to sign up to Remind for text messages reminding you of important Key Club dates!

 

If you bought a tee shirts be sure to pick it up! Also, there are two extra for sale and they are for sale to any key club member! The shirts are beautiful, and a great way to show off the great club that you are apart of!



BEFORE YOU GO! Every one in Key Club, especially the officers and our two advisers, appreciate any and all help you members give! There wouldn't be a club with out you members, so don't forget how important you are! Key Club strives to help the community, and that's just what you as a member help us to do. As a new term of Key Club rolls in, the officers and advisors hope that all members will keep up the great work and do all they can to go above and beyond what's asked of them! May this new term be super eventful, helpful, and fun!
