On Thursday, September 4, Alhambra High School hosted their annual ICC Club Fair, where Alhambra Key Club had an incredibly successful turn-out advertising to prospective members. Decorated with colorful posters, attractive Key Club apparel, and distinguished certificates, the booth sat alongside that of the various other service clubs at Alhambra High School. At the end of the event, President Madison and Vice Presidents Athena and Melanie celebrated with a total of about 100 students who were interested and plan on joining in the following semester! Throughout the month of September, President Madison and Vice Presidents Athena and Melanie continued to host club meetings at lunch in Mr. Kim’s classroom every Tuesday. The Presidents proceeded to provide positive welcomes or returns to the club members with the distribution of elegant sashes. They then moved forward with reminders and encouragement to participate in the ongoing online services and their respective deadlines to receive hours. On September 8, Vice President Athena announced the second in-person service of the year for the Rose Bowl Half Marathon. Details that outlined the time and place of the service were provided alongside the sign-up link. On Sunday, September 26, dedicated members of Alhambra Key Club volunteered at the G4 Water Station of the annual Rose Bowl 5k Marathon. Though their work started at 5:30 am, in pitch darkness, members were overly excited to experience their first post-pandemic in-person service! The preparation for the race began with setting up tables, lifting box after box of supplies, and filling up almost 1000 paper cups with water or electrolytes. As the sun began to rise, marathon runners took off. Key Club volunteers cheered on runners along the sidelines of the course besides their stationed tables, handing out cups of water or electrolytes. After about 4 hours, volunteers quickly cleaned up their stations and left with a great first service experience!
