What is Key Club? Key Club is an international student-led organization which provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership. We are caring and competent servant leaders transforming communities worldwide. The core values of Key Club International are leadership, character building, caring and inclusiveness. Hazen Key Club is a part of Division 32, which is composed of Hazen, Lindbergh, Kentlake, Kent-Meridian Kentridge, Kentwood, Renton and Tahoma. Division 32 is part of a proud Pacific Northwest district.
Greetings from the Editor Do you hear that? Yeah, that’s right. Holiday music. October was quite a busy month for the club whilst we participated in not one, but two fundraisers! You guys made us proud by all the money you raised for the ELIMINATE project by Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF! And thank you to all of you who bought one (or six) Threads of Hope bracelets! All the money from these two fundraisers go straight to charities, ya’ll are doing good for the world. Read on to find out how much we made! I hope you lovely people didn’t get too sick on all that Halloween candy…but now that it’s November, you get to stuff yourselves and get sick off mashed potatoes! November is another month full of great Key Club events and dates to mark down on your calendars, so read on for the updates. We also want to see more of you getting out there and volunteering. Get connected and involved in your community and don’t forget to give back! Until next month, I’m peacin’.
In Love and Service, Kimchi Kusumi
Greetings from the President Hey Key-uties, We’re already ⅔ into the Key Club year and this past month has been the height of our term. With all the fundraising we’ve done for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF and Threads of Hope, we have come close to our goal for service project donations! Although DCON is still a few months away, DCON season is going to roll around the corner before we know it. For some of you who don’t know, DCON season starts at officer elections. There will be an interest meeting for both DCON and Officer Elections provided by our lovely KC Kusumi in the rest of her newsletter. I can’t wait to see who is interested and I hope all of you consider going to DCON! We are trying our best this year to make DCON as cheap as possible for you! Keep volunteering, turning in your hours, and coming to meetings/divisional events!!
In Love and Service, Teriyaki Vo
