KEY CLUB INTERNATIONAL’S YOF (Youth Opportunities Fund)
The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) is an endowed fund for Key Club International held within the Kiwanis International Foundation. This fund uses earned interest to help Key Clubs and Key Club members serve the world by providing grants for service opportunities. The fund also provides academic scholarships for higher education. The Youth Opportunities Fund is established through a portion of your Key Club International dues and through the purchase of G. Harold Martin Fellowships.
KEY FACTS KEY FACTS How did Key Club get its name? In 1925, California State Commissioner of Schools Albert C. Olney and vocational education teacher Frank C. Vincent worked to establish the first Key Club at Sacramento High School in California. This club was comprised of the key boys in the school, willing to serve the school in any way possible and to create better school spirit. Thus, the club was dubbed Key Club. Division 62

FRANKLIN’S JAPAN RELIEF FUNDRAISER Our Japan Fundraiser consisted of selling shirts to raise awareness of the natural disaster that occurred on March 11, 2011. We raised a little over two hundred dollars, and we are in the process of donating the money to Mercy Corps so that they can send the money over to Japan to aid the people who are in need of help. It was a sudden project that we, the Franklin Key Club officers, decided to take on. It was all for a great cause, and we are very glad that we took some action to contribute to Japan. Our prayers go out to Japan and other countries that are suffering from natural disasters and other tragic world events. Our prayers go out to Japan and other countries that are suffering from natural disasters and other tragic world events. -Christina Chac, Club President, the Key Club of Franklin High School Division 62

MEET THE OFFICER: Club President Christina Chac (Key Club of Franklin High School)
Age: 17 Favorite food: Italian Favorite place in the world:
Deer Park Monastery (Escondido, California) Funniest thing about her: I can be the most gullible person ever First thing that comes to mind when someone says “Key Club”: An awesome organization to be apart! Major life goal:
To make something of myself and be able to take care of my parents in the near future, because raising an odd child like myself isn't easy. The greatest thing you’ve learnt in Key Club:
I’ve learnt that you can have fun while volunteering and providing service for others. You can also meet pretty darn amazing people along the way. Division 62

FROM YOUR LT. GOVERNOR THE STATUS OF OUR DIVISION
Hey there! This is a new year in the world of Key Club, and I’m excited to see change take place! I’ve had the opportunity to see how much our division has changed over this short summer, and I’m expecting to see a entirely new division at the end of my term. I said to one of our Club Presidents that our division is like a garden, because our clubs are like flowers. With a garden, you can’t water it this week and forget about it the next. You need to be consistent. Taking out weeds, fixing flower pots, and landscaping isn’t easy when you’re dealing with a garden that’s been weak for a long while. Proactive leaders are what our clubs need, and that’s what I’m working to instill. Key Clubbers, you have the opportunity to give so much to the world, never let your age limit you. You may not be able . to change the entire world, but you can change lives.
