A Letter from the Editor Greetings PHS Key Clubbers! So many things have happened in the month of May, and none of these events would have been successful without your relentless passion for Key Club. However, this is the time of year when things start slowing down. Summer is just around the corner! You can finally feel that bed calling you to make up for lost time to sleep, but don’t forget! Key Club is active yearround. Many volunteering opportunities are held over the summer. Make good use of your free time by signing up for an event! The website is open for signups. Also, please keep Mrs. Meissner, our beloved Kiwanis advisor and her eldest daughter in your prayers. Mrs. Meissner will be away for a few weeks at her daughter’s need. Other than that, I look forward to seeing all of you in these upcoming events. If you have any concerns, comments, or questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Shoot me or one of the officers an e-mail, and we will gladly answer to all of them. Yours in caring and service, Christianna Pepingco
