On this new year on January 19, 2024, Kauai High School Key Club had an organized social event that many of the members participated in. Instead of havinganin-personcommunal,itwasanonlinesocial over Google Meets. To start off the meet, the members were all required to create two Valentine cards for care home residents either digitally or on paper to receive their hours for their service project. After some time, the members had some entertainmentsuchasgamesandquestionnairesthat eachmemberhadtoparticipateinandengagewith. OneoftheentertainmentswasGimmeGimme,which is a game where someone randomly calls out an object (for example, “Gimme gimme a piece of paper”) and others will attempt to be the first to turn theircameraonandbringthatspecificobjecttothat person before anyone else. Along with that, the members were put into their pod groups to answer somequestionsaboutthecluboverall.Notonlywasit a game, but it was also a Q&A to learn more and gain an understanding of Key Club. This event was enjoyable and fun, as every member there contributedtomakeitsuccessful.

MEMBER of the Month

Helen is an absolutely extraordinary member who constantly helps with projects, providing both her time and her own personal funds as she has bought concessions and supplies for multiple events for Kealakehe’s Key Club. Sadly she will be moving schools so their next event with her will most likely be her last. For the time she was in the club, she constantly brought spirits up with positive communication with all members and really improved the club much more than any other member has. Thank

OFFICER of the Month

This month Marissa has excelled in all forms of work needed to support Hilo High School Key Club. She has assisted all of their members in preparing to gain hours over the winter break. She has even assisted in many other officers' work when many got sick.
