LOVE AT “FROST” SIGHT Bushra Khaliq, Senior Class Representative
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! As the time flies, the year slowly prepares itself for the upcoming cold. The crisp autumn leaves turn red before the white blanket of snow comes along. While winter comes close, the holidays bring people closer together. Christmas is one of my favourite holidays, and the people I’m spending it with this year are going to make it even better! The Mansfield Summit Key Club has a ton of plans for the last month of the year. First of all, we’ve scouted for all the volunteering opportunities from as many sources we could possibly find. We’re helping at 10
events such as the holiday parades, Nursing Home Bingo Night, the annual Toys for Tots, elementary school gatherings, and so much more! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also devoted some time, and a lot of scheduling as well, to make our own socials and service events. Our tradition, the Christmas Angel Event, is a project we hold every year to have our members and officers help recently adopted children have the best Christmas of all time by bringing them clothes and gifts! Last year we helped a mother give over 20 gifts to her recently adopted daughters that were under younger than the age of ten! This year, we have a boy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eleven years old, and a girl that is seven years old. The Christmas Angel Wrapping warm my heart with happiness because of participating in it every year makes me see two pearly white smiles who had on of the best times of their lives. Standing with the rest of Mansfield Summit Key Club, who became more of a family to me than just other officers, shows me how wonderful the world can be.

FLASHING FOWARD TO THE 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Reem Saeed, Service Coordinator

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of attending the Texas Oklahoma District Convention. It was an amazing experience that helped me grow as a Key Club officer and a person. At this convention, my peers and I attended multiple forums that portrayed to our officer position that help me understand what Key Club was actually about and what Key Clubs role was in society. These forums ranged from skills to help a new reporting secretary to yoga forums. These forums helped me connect with people who have the same interests as me and were going through the same process as I was going through as a newly elected officer. These events not only help me
connect with new people from around the Texas Oklahoma district but also helped me connect with my new officer board that I was going to be spending the rest of my year with. Although the forums benefited me a lot, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s district convention I hope to see more organization between all the forums, to help the forums be less overlapped, if they were more spaced out I feel like the forums would have been more beneficial. I only say this because I noticed last year that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to attend all of the forums that I wanted to attend because of the overlapped schedule of the forums. Overall, I enjoyed the vast complexity of the role DCON played in my life as a Key Club officer. DCON allowed me to be able to have a saying in who would be on our district board and have a role in the future Key Club society. I was privileged to see my friends achieve roles that made them sense something bigger than themselves. DCON open my eyes and showed me how much bigger Key Club is than me and our Key Club. Overall, my DCON experience was overwhelmingly amazing,

Hello everyone! I hope your Thanksgiving break went amazing and you got the opportunity to stuff your face like I did ;) Anyways, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited for all the events coming up in December! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m especially excited for the December newsletter so I can color it red and green! And although this first semester may be coming to an end, our volunteering events have certainly not. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to say that we will be contuning our Adopt an Angel program tradition once again this year. This year we have an 11 year old girl and a 7 year old boy. Seeing the smiles on the children's faces makes my entire year! In Love and Service,
Alyssa Brown
