If you joined us in the fall for our harvesting events with FirstFruits Farm, or simply heard about it on TNN, we are pleased to remind everyone, that events are still going on. Right now, volunteers will be preparing for the planting season. The schedule of events can be found here. If you print out the community service form found on the counseling website and bring it to the event, the leaders are kind enough to sign it for you. We look forward to sending more of our volunteers to this great organization again!

Feeding the Community

This event took place at the Veterans Memorial Center next to El Camino. There were multiple Key Club members from various schools including Pioneer Valley, Santa Maria High, and Parks and Rec. From our club alone, there were 6 members is attendance.

What our members did was help prepare the food and being able to serve it to the people who are attending the event. In addition, our members cleaned up afterwards. Our members were listening to the Kiwanis governor give a speech while being able to eat the food they served.

Overall this was a great experience for everyone and we are happy to serve. P.S., this is my last A+V for the term, it was great experience to share the multiple stories we had at PV and share it with everyone

Service Events

Provided by Jeremy Lee Oani (ERHS)

In the months of March and February, the Righetti Key Club has continued to provide our members with service opportunities to help out the community in as many ways as we can. We were able to complete 3 service events since the last submission. We have also been collaborating with other clubs here at Righetti at service events such as the Interact Club. One service event we did was called the “Teacher Appreciation” service event in which we were able to appreciate our teachers and school administrators by creating cards and letters for them. It was a very successful service event with many members able to attend. The next service event we participated in was called the “Holidays for Heroes” service event which was very similar to the teacher appreciation service event in which we created cards for US military veterans. The last service event we completed was the annual “Corned Beef and Cabbage Fundraiser” in which we helped prepare, set up, and clean during the event. It was a very fun event as we were able to provide help for the event. Next, we have planned a service event in which we will be cleaning our local oasis center as it is in need of cleaning. We hope this will be successful and will continue our endeavors in serving the community! Go warriors!
