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, KentMeridian Kentridge, Kentwood, Renton and Tahoma. Division 32 is part of a proud Pacific Northwest district.
Howdy from the Editor YYYYYYYYYELLOW! How are ya’lls beautiful faces doing? October is such a busy month! Don’t worry, we’ve got service events for you to keep you even more busy! I hope everyone had a lovely homecoming night, whether you went to the dance or skipped out and did your own thing. Remember to support UNICEF and donate money to help fight Maternal Neonatal Tetanus. Also…pay your dues. OH, and bring a BUDDY to a meeting so that you can enter our Starbucks raffle! There’s too much to say so enjoy reading this why sipping on that Pumpkin Spice Latte (or whatever your fall choice of beverage is…comment below). Until the next one, Shogun Kusumi
Hello from fromthe thePresident President Hello Hello hello! It has been a fantastic first month and it is so great to see all of you guys out there whether it be volunteering, showing up at DCMs, or spreading your Key Club pride all over your home, school, and community.

Dragon of the Month goes to‌
Thank you for your involvement in committees, attendance at meetings and events, and passion for volunteering. Keep it up!
Who will be the November Dragon?
Get to Know Trish Fish What was your favorite service event ever? Probably the Color Run because all the volunteers and staff were really fun to work with and after your shift you get a bunch of free stuff (including admission to the race!!!) What's your favorite place to visit? My favorite place to visit has to be Vietnam. Delicious street food, super nice beaches, and puppies/kittens everywhere. What more could you ask for? What are you looking forward to most in the committee you’re in? I’m excited to be more involved with my personal club and getting to spread the amazing Key Club spirit all throughout Hazen! What's your spirit animal? Honestly, it's gotta be a cat because I relate so much... they thrive both independently and when surrounded by other people. Also, they nap a lot (like me :^)).
