Your dedication over the past few months has not gone unnoticed; we truly appreciate all of your efforts toward supporting and improving the Bloomfield community! From teaching 3rd graders valuable lessons, to picking up trash at a local park, Key Clubbers have gone above and beyond this past month. In November, look forward to our Senior Thanksgiving Dinner, BGR fundraiser, and a multitude of other ways to help out.

As we prepare for one of the busiest seasons in Key Club, we happily announce that this year we have broken a record of over 170 members registered. We would also like to specifically recognize the outstanding motivation and work of our general membership this past month. We greatly appreciate your help!

KEY TRAITS 4 KIDS FIELD TRIP
The District Project is a way for Key Club to make a difference towards a certain cause every year. This year, our District Project is focused on education and stopping the widening of the learning gap; our goal is to help others reach their full educational potential. Stay tuned for future service opportunities! DISTRICT PROJECT Education is Key!
FOCUS
Health Conditions & Disease Awareness
Our Advocacy Focus is a way for us to raise awareness for specific relevant issues. This year, we are focusing on various prevalent diseases in America. During September and October, we focused on Breast Cancer Awareness, and for November through January, we are focusing on Alzheimer's Disease. Being the 7th leading cause of death in the US, and a leading cause of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is a serious illness that deteriorates one's memory and other mental functions. Please reach out to us with any questions you may have, or if you would like to discover ways to raise awareness for this cause! Check out our LTG's Newsletter for more info (link on classroom!)
