KEY CLUB 2015
JOHN P. STEVENS HIGH SCHOOL
Keypin’ Up with Key Club NOVEMBER 2015 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Key Clubbers, Our annual Holiday Dinner was a huge success and I would like to thank everyone who helped make it possible. Without dedicated members like you, we would not have been able to pull off such a successful fundraiser. The dinner raised over $700 in addition to several toy and food donations for the Hands of Hope Food Pantry. Moving forward, I hope everyone continues to be enthusiastic about community service. We have a lot of great events planned for the rest of the year including a Tricky Tray and a Masquerade Ball! For each of our events, we will have a committee consisting of general members that will help plan the fundraiser or service project. With your help, I know that we can continue to accomplish great things this year! Yours in Caring and Service, Shreya Keshive
