KEY CLUB Little Bit of History About Us
Cloverdale High School is situated in a rural community in northern California, about 80 miles north of San Francisco, in the middle of what is considered wine country. In recent years the community has attracted more and more retirees because they are fascinated by the beauty of the surrounding countryside and they enjoy the close community spirit. There are approximately 400 students in the high school. The Cloverdale Kiwanis Club sponsors the high school Key Club. The Cloverdale Key Club held its first meeting in October of 2006. Since that time, the membership has grown from 22 to 59 paid members for the 2010-11 school year. Listed below are some of the club accomplishments from our most recent year: 2010-11 We had nine officers with one member applying to be an Executive Assistant. Nine seniors graduated with a Key Club medallion, having performed at least 15 hours in community service during the year. We had a Cali-Nev-Ha “Outstanding Website”, as well as a Facebook site for distributing information We donated the most money of any club in our division for the Pediatric Trauma Program at Fall Rally, donating $1,069.

The most notable included: the Kiwanis Crab Dinner, the Key Club Fiesta Night, the Kiwanis Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast, regular volunteer work at the Cloverdale Food Pantry, and creating a Citrus Fair exhibit display.
