A Letter from the Editor Dear Key Clubbers,
What a great way to close the year by giving back to the community! As the end of 2015 and the service year comes to a close, please reflect on your accomplishments. Be proud of all your hard work not only in Key Club, but everywhere. Keep in mind the goals you want to set for next year. Perhaps you are thinking on taking a new challenge
and decide to run for a Key Club position. Take chances, but also keep in mind the consequences and commitments you may be entering yourself in. Nevertheless, make 2016 your year to shine. I wish you all a happy holidays. Yours in caring and service,
