88th Birthday A BIG THANK YOU to all the Key Clubbers, Kiwanis, and parents for all the support you give to Key Club. Key Club would not have the success it has today without all the dedication you have put into this organization.

Robert Bateman Key Club This past month has been a busy month for Bateman Key Club. We hosted our first annual Dusk-2-Dawnathon. Dusk-2Dawnathon is a wake over at the school with many fun activities planned. We had a great turnout and raised over $2600 for K.C.C.P. Many Bateman Key Clubbers also attended Key Leader up in Hope at Camp Kawkawa. We learned about service leadership and the core values of being a Key Leader.

Bateman Key Club also participated in the annual mushroom compost fundraiser with Yale and Abby Key Club. The compost will be sold at Yale, Monday to Friday from 9am to 3 pm for $4 a bag. The proceed raised will go towards SIGN Fracture care.

On April.20th we participated in Kiwanis One Day with Clearbrook Kiwanis Club. We helped clean up the Garden of Hope at the local Salvation Army.

Yale Key Club The members of Yale’s Key Club have been very active during April. Several members attended Key Leader and developed new perspectives and ideas about service and leadership. On April 6th, we volunteered to clean up landscaping around seniors housing at the MSA Manor. Additionally, we received great response from Hunger Response International from our contribution at the Walk for the Rice Reason on April 11th. Our Key Club this past year has been very successful due to much help from the executives. However, it was time to hold an election for next year’s executives, and they are: Rachel Lee (president), Angela Li (VP), Soomin Choi (VP), Sung Il (VP), Gabrielle Krillow (VP), Laura Egolf (secretary), Jane Kim (treasurer), and Tiffany Hoang (bulletin editor). We are all very excited and hope to have another amazing year in Key Club. For the month of May, we have many fun fairs coming up. Lastly, we received a lot of help from many fantastic people on our annual mushroom compost sale! Come buy a bag for only $4 from Monday to Friday, 9am – 3pm at the office of Yale Secondary!

- Rachel Lee

Abby Key Club This past month the Abby Senior Key Club participated in many things. One of the things on our agenda was next year’s executive elections. There was practically no competition for the roles of President, Vice President, Secretary and Editor. However, we had tie after tie for the Treasurers’ running. The election was very close, but the one extra vote was for Sam Azizi. The new executive members for Abby Key Club 2013/14 are Pranav Ayra, Harmeen Khosa, Maegan McKay, Juan Manalo, Sam Azizi and Tina Ngo. Mid April, nine of our members travelled to Hope, B.C. to attend Key Leaders Camp (Camp Kawkawa). They developed leadership skills, personal growth and the awareness of integrity gaps. The Abby Key Club also participated in the annual mushroom compost fundraiser with the Yale and Bateman Key Clubs. This April was supposed to be our 30 hour famine but there were complications that made the overnight stay not possible. We solved this problem by gathering the participants at lunch and asking for their opinion to either do the event that but not be able to sleep over, or postpone it. At that meeting we came to the decision of doing a 20 hour fast, and then doing the sleepover at the school at the end of May. So, that very day we had approximately forty participants come to the school in the evening for the breaking of the 20 hour fast. This April bonded our Key Club via numerous factors and events which will set up success for next year.

GW Graham Key Club During the month of April Solh Key Club worked on various projects throughout the month including the annual Kiwanis Compost sale where members helped to bag and sell compost to raise funds benefiting both Kiwanis and Key Club on April 13th and 20th. During the month of April there was volunteer’s from Solh Key Club who spent time at the local Ruth and Naomi’s Mission Center where members either prepared or served food to those less fortunate in our community. Also in the month of April Solh Key Club was very busy dedicating time to the hosting of or annual 30 Hour Famine that was planned to take place on April 19th though dude to an unexpected event the 30 Hour Famine is now taking place on May 31th as a celebration instead. And as President of Solh Key Club I would like to invite all of the clubs in our division 11/18 C to attend our 30 Hour Famine Celebration on May 31st at GW Graham Middle Secondary School from 4:30pm to 9:30pm where our club invites you to take part in a night of hunger fun! Where the theme of the celebration is Hunger Games, so be dressed in a costume from one of the districts and ready to participate in games and enjoying movies. It is not required that you participate in the famine though we ask that you bring $5 for your admission where that will get you into games, a movie, snacks and drinks. Solh Key Club hopes to raise as much funds for this wonderful organization so that together we can help change others lives for the better. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with the wonderful people of Solh Key Club. It is inspirational to see members grow into new leaders and I am sure that Solh Key Club will continue to help out in our community and globally.

160 babies die each day from neonatal

38 countries remain at high risk for MNT

One baby dies every 9 minutes from neonatal

On average, health education and a series of three doses of tetanus vaccine cost $1.80

160 Children dies everyday from Maternal Neonatal Tetanus. MNT is a disease that robs a child of a mother’s touch. MNT is caused by tetanus spores, when it comes in contact with open cuts during childbirth it infects both the mother and child. Key Club has teamed up with UNICEF to eradicate MNT. They plan on raising $110 million dollars by 2015. It only cost $1.80 to immunize a mother and her future children. MNT have been eliminated from 28 countries since 2000. But there are still 31 countries plagued by MNT.

Eliminate week is on May.6-10. Many Key Clubs around the district are hosting fundraising activities to raise awareness and funds.
