Region seven held a training conference for upcoming officers and members who would like to help their club on May 17. Three officers and one member participated in this opportunity to better the BHS Key Club. The conference took place at Boswell High School in Fort Worth. This year’s theme was Safari with the choice for the club members to dress for the occasion. Many people participated, and there was an abundance of energy from the different Key Clubs. Different ideas were shared on how to better improve a club as well as some helpful advice from the LTG and other board officers.

Serving where it counts the most Helping a child during the children’s church service at First United Methodist Church, Vanessa Castañeda makes sure they complete their evening project correctly. The Key Club helps serve dinner to the hungry and packs boxes of food for their family during the week. “We pack pasta, crackers, fresh fruit and vegetables for each family,” Castañeda said. The group then helps during children’s service that follows the dinner every Wed. night. “That night we told the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000.”
