What I've been up to... Hey Key Clubbers! Happy 2020! December was such a great month. Thank you to all the clubs that paid their dues. We still have clubs who haven't, so please make sure you get that done ASAP. LTC planning is here! The Executive Board and I are busy working on tons of things, and we're all SO excited to see you there. Make sure you and your club plan to attend.
#NYDKC During Astoria Park Leaf Fest on November 23rd, Division 8 Key Clubbers joined together to clean up Astoria Park. They split up and spread across the park to rake up leaves and put them in bags to be made into compost. This environmentally friendly event also allowed this large group of volunteers to benefit the community and bond with each other over a common cause.
This past month I also met with the Committee Chairs to make sure they have work for the rest of the year, as well as planning out the rest of the year for me and making sure I'm on track. Don't forget that if you ever have questions, reach out to either me or your LTG! We're here to help. Good luck to all the seniors who are finishing up college apps and I look forward to seeing all the great events in the month of January!

Service spotlights From my Division: Our holiday party for the underprivileged elementary school students in the Union-Endicott district, with over 150 attending. Each student was paired with a U-E high school key club member upon arrival, who brought them to different stations where they completed various crafts. There was also a DJ, a performance by a dancer from our school, a singer from the school, and the cheerleaders. Every student and key club member was fed after the crafts and entertainment. At the end of the day, each child received a bag full of gifts tailored to their age and gender. This day is a wonderful experience for both the students attending from the elementary schools, as well as the high schoolers. - Dominic Guccia, Maine Endwell Key Club President
From Division 19: On December 21st a few key club members went to our local theater to help a sponsored movie by Kiwanis. The kids that came to watch the movie also got to meet Santa, pick a toy and a book to take home. All of the goodies were donated Kiwanis. The kids also got to take home a coloring book that featured scenes from the Adirondack kids books! After the new awesome stuff was passed out and everyone met with Santa we all watched the animated film, Arctic Dogs. As key club students we interacted with the kids and helped them pick out their new things, we also cleaned the theater to make sure it was in top shape for the rest of their day. A fun little Christmas event that happens every year! - Sarah Beck, President of Town of Webb
