Note from the Editor Hey y'all!
I hope everyone had a good (and safe!) start to the new school year, despite the situation we're currently in. It's been a really hectic year, and now more than ever, it's important to continue to find ways to serve our community and to stay involved in Key Club. The other officers and I are working on creating more online and safe in-person volunteering opportunities, and we'll do our best to make sure that Key Club continues
to
be
an
enjoyable
and
memorable
experience for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns always feel free to contact us! Contact information is on page 14. I'm so excited to serve as your editor this year, and I hope you get a good read out of each of my newsletters.
Yours in service,
Lauren St. Clair Lauren St. Clair
