You all are doing a wonderful job in continuing to serve your homes, schools, and communities. I hope you are all proud of what you have accomplished.

Every year, the ‘Iolani Key Club takes part in helping the Family Programs of Hawaii’s Christmas Banquet for foster children and their families. It is a nice event where there is food, cotton candy, parrots to take pictures with, and Santa who gives out toys to the kids. The key club helped with the goodie bags that were handed out. In these goodie bags there were cookies that were baked and bagged a week prior. This year we made 3,300 cookies for the 1,100 kids in attendance. This is a fun project that the club looks forward to participating in every year. BY: Kathryn Teruya

Key Clubbers helping kids at the NFL Play60 event
Roosevelt Key Club kicked off the new year by volunteering at the NFL sponsored event, Play60. Our members gathered at Aloha Stadium at 6:30 in the morning to help set up. Members were then broken up into different sections and were assigned with various tasks to help out. The members from Roosevelt Key Club helped with registration, welcoming family members with a warm smile and cheers through the morning. A group was assigned to the tunnel to cheer on the participants coming down. Loud cheers and chants could be heard faintly from the entrance as our clubbers gave it their all. Roosevelt then joined the rest on the field and pumped everyone up by doing some Zumba alongside the kids. We went to the different stations and screamed words of encouragement towards the future sports stars. Our members agree that this was such a great event to start off the year and we had such a fun time helping out the children BY: Marleen Tana
On January 18th, Saint Louis School participated in the judging for division awards at the Iolani DCM. We sat in the computer room for an hour judging the different categories. I judged the club of the year, member of the year, advisor of the year and treasurer of the year. I thought it was really exciting and fun to see other people from other clubs unite in one room and judge the different candidates for each award. The judging process wasn’t long and tedious as I expected, it was interesting because I saw the different personalities within key club. I met a lot of key clubbers during this time and it inspired me to submit for awards in the next key club year. Johnny Boy and Kathryn Teruya (Mom) did a great job of monitoring and assisting the voters. As an avid member of the Saint Louis key club, I encourage everyone in key club to judge next year.
