The fantabulous Club Week for Ayala Key Club took place during the hottest week of September. However, even with sweltering temperatures of 105 degrees Fahrenheit and up, the rush for a new year of key Club service for both returning and incumbent members was still as strong as ever. All of this was such a welcoming fact to see. I personally was handing out fliers and promoting our beautifully refined website while my counterparts were all doing their part to elaborate the virtues of Key Club International to all of the Ayala Bulldogs. In the end, although the days were blisteringly hot and unforgiving, the heat was not able to overshadow Club Week’s tremendous success. //Howard Dong 10
