Keypin’ Up With Key Club John P. Stevens Key Club Volume I Issue VIII
President’s Message Hello Key Clubbers! With the 2015-2016 service year coming to an end next month, we would like to thank you for all of your dedication this past year. Without your help, we would not have been able to have a successful service year! Please keep in mind that the annual district convention will be taking place at Ocean Place Spa and Resort from April 1st to April 3rd. DCON is where being a Key Clubber really begins to stick so we hope you all try your best come! If you plan on running for board in March, please make sure that you have 40 hours by the day of elections. Becoming a Key Club officer will allow you to be more involved in your community as well as have a greater say in the events we host next year. Also, we will be handing out certificates to those of you who have volunteered for more than 10 hours this service year! I hope everyone continues to be enthusiastic about community service in the upcoming service year! Yours in Caring and Service, Shreya Keshive and the 20152016 Executive Board
