CNH I K E Y C L U B
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. Our 2015-16 membership was 36. Listed below are some of the club accomplishments from this year: 2015-16
We had eight officers with three Executive Assistants.
We had a Cali-Nev-Ha “Outstanding Website”, as well as a Facebook site for distributing information.
Seven seniors were in the club. They received Key Club medallions to wear at graduation, having performed at least 25 hours in community service during that year. We donated the most money of any club in our division for the Pediatric Trauma Program at Fall Rally, donating $738. At the same time that we were fundraising for PTP, we fundraised for the Valley Fire victims and sent $2,676 off to the CNH Kiwanis Foundation for use in helping those in need. We earned an Early Bird patch for affiliating by November 1st. We earned a UNICEF “1K”patch for our efforts in the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF program, donating $1000.00. We earned a District Tree patch for turning our Monthly Report Forms in on time. We earned a Diamond Level Distinguished Club patch for our over-all program of activities - only the top 1% of the clubs in the world received this award. Our club Scrapbook won a Distinguished Medal and represented Cali-Nev-Ha in international competition, winning 1st Place. Two of our club officers won Distinguished Officer medals, and one won the Outstanding Officer awards. We had a strong bond with our local Kiwanis Club, participating in several projects together. The most notable included: the Kiwanis Crab Dinner, the Kiwanis Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast, regular volunteer work at the Cloverdale Food Pantry, and the Kiwanis Marathon. We regularly attended Kiwanis meetings, including Kiwanis Board meetings. Our most notable service project of the year was “The MNT Destroyer”. We worked to raise money for the Kiwanis Eliminate Project. Two of our seniors won $1000 CNH Scholarships. We helped sponsor a Builders Club at our local middle school.
