The Talon of T-O | Mansfield Lake Ridge Key Club | March 2024 | Volume 7 | Issue 12

Hello Key Clubbers!

I hope the month has been good to you so far! As we approach the end of the year, be sure to continue working hard! I’m glad that we’ve made it this far :)

One of my favorite parts about making the newsletter is deciding the theme. I’ve had the idea of doing a Minecraft-centered newsletter for a while, but I was unsure of how to execute it until I had finished the last newsletter. I’m excited for you all to read it! :D

I’m proud of all of you for your effort this month! If you go out volunteering, make sure to take a photo and/or videos and send it to either the webmaster or I (page 18). As always, thank you for reading!!

Sincerely,

Sort through donated items, make cards, and pack boxe that they can be sent to orphans in Eastern Europe

KEYS FOR KIDS DIVISIONAL PROJECT

A person's childhood plays a large role in their development. Because of this, Keys for Kids is aimed at uplifting children, fostering their overall well-being, and promoting their emotional and social development. Through this year's divisional project, I hope to instill hope, inspire dreams, and shape a brighter future for every child involved.

How to participate: organize an pen-pal system with a neighboring elementary school host an arts and crafts night in your community read to kids in at a local library make care packages to send to a children's hospital

Nourishing Futures

WHAT IS IT?

Nourishing Futures is a project with a global mission to empower underdeveloped communities by providing essential resources such as food and water. The primary goal is to foster positive change and nourish the well-being of these communities worldwide.
