Happy October! I hope you are all doing well As we end club rush season and enter the fall, I hope you are all excited for the amazing things that Key Club International has planned. For seniors, I hope things are going well on College Applications. As this is a very stressful time, don't forget to find comfort in your friends and your favorite activities. Personally, my favorite ways to wind down are to take my two dogs on long walks and listen to music! Don't ever be afraid to re any advice questions. H
Yours in

Key Club International is partnered with March of Dimes. Since the 1940s, Key Clubs have worked with March of Dimes to make a positive impact in the lives of babies everywhere. Today, Kiwanis members continue that culture of service by supporting the March of Dimes all year long by hosting service projects, raising funds and educating communities about the crisis of preterm birth.
Kamp Kiwanis is aimed at providing fun, physical exercise and adventure. It strives to afford opportunities to participate in a creative outdoor group experience in a democratic setting and develop characteristics of leadership and fair play.
The Lyme Disease Project was created to help pay for medical treatment for children with Lyme Disease, as most insurance companies do not pay for its expensive treatment.
The Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center is a clinic located in Long Island, New York that is dedicated to serving unique care for children in extreme situations and serves a number of other functions, such as outreach to parents and educational programs.

Brighton High School Key Club hosted their annual Summer Car Wash Fundraiser! Members came together before the car wash to create captivating posters and set up each station. Members from other clubs joined in on the effort as well! As cars lined up, members washed the cars, soaked sponges with soap, and dried each car. After the car went through the wash, their car was shiny and clean! At the end, Brighton High School Key Club raised about $200 to fundraise for future service projects and LTC!
