FOR THE Key Club doesn't die during the summer! If your club stays active during the summer, it is almost guaranteed that your club will be within the top 5 at the end of the year! With COVID-19 dissipating right now, it will be a lot easier to find volunteer events for your club! Another big thing - the YOF grant. The YOF grant is a grant given to an individual Key Club from the Kiwanis Clubs. The YOF can be very beneficial for your community and yourself included! Please consider applying for this grant! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me!
