LETTER

FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello everyone!

I am SUPER excited that so many of you have decided to join Key Club this year! And for those returning, we are very happy to have you back Thank you all so much for your interest in serving the community. I truly believe that each of you are extremely important in making a positive impact, so I think Key Club’s vision statement says it best: We are caring and competent servant leaders transforming communities worldwide. I look forward to a great year ahead of us!

Love, Charlene Lam 4

Interested in an internship in graphic design, marketing, event planning, etc.?

Want more volunteer hours?

Join the Relay for Life Event Planning Committee!

Bellevue High School is fortunate enough to be the host of the Bellevue Relay for Life again this year!

We need as much help planning this event, from DJs to activities to graphics, everyone has something to contribute.

Relay for Life is a fundraising walk held at various locations throughout the year in which “teams� are formed and raise money for cancer research and patients before the event. At the event, members of each team take turns walking the track, signifying that the battle against cancer never ends.

There’s food, games, and activities that the entire community is able to take part in and bond with each other.

Next meeting: November 17, 2015 4:30 PM @ Mainspring Wealth Advisors
