Hey Key Clubbers We have noticed that the attendance at our meetings seems to be decreasing. This happens around the same time every year, and this year is no different. We understand that all of you lead busy lives and have many other things to do, so we’d just like you to try your best to make it to the meetings. Thanx. Yours in caring service, The Key Club Cabinet

Thanks to all those who came to the 3rd Annual KC Skate-a-Thon on 2/23 at Chelsea Piers and made it such a big success! Many eager Key Clubbers and friends were already waiting impatiently at the Chelsea Piers Sky Rink before the rink opened. Finally after the grand arrival of President Alan Chu, tickets were purchased, and the skate-a-thon promptly began at 11:30am. Most people arrived within the hour, except for a few late comers, including our Metropolitan Division friends at Port Richmond HS. Everyone was psyched and after hurrying to get skates, people hit the ice, in the name of helping raise money for the IDD fund. This is not to say that the skate-a-thon was all fundraising and no fun, because has there ever been a KC event that wasn’t fun?!? The ventilation was nice, the ice was smooth, the ice skates were good, KC provided free food, and the rink wasn’t crowded at all, so what more could anyone have asked for? Everyone was having a blast. =) At the end of the day, the results were tallied, and I’m happy to announce that a total of 55 Key Clubbers and friends showed up, raising a whopping $1120 and profiting $316 (We had to cover the costs of skate rental and admission) . <pat on the back for everyone> The top three contributors were as follows: (drumroll…) 1. Marc Weiskopf $120! 2. Lina Ng $50 3. Jacob Till $37 So now, I leave you with this ending note from our Lieutenant Governor-elect, William Wong: Round trip subway fare to the Sky Rink $3.00 Admission/donation to IDD $15.00 Slice of pizza, Nestea and stale nachos $6.25 1/4 dark chicken with two sides and soda dinner $6.76 Finally learning (somewhat) to skate with your friends PRICELESS

Calendar of Events: March 17-19: New York District Convention in Monticello, NY. Key Clubbers will learn a lot about Key Club and have a great time as well. Mondays and Tuesdays: Help out at the Police Athletic League by assisting kids with their homework and playing with them as well. This falls under the Governor’s Project. Thursdays: Meet up with fellow Momentum team members after school on either day to go to the Momentum sites, where you’ll prepare desserts for AIDS patients. No culinary experience necessary. Saturdays and Sundays: Unfortunately, Bowery Mission has been postponed indefinitely. Sundays: Come and volunteer at the Silver Lake Nursing Home in Staten Island. You can help care for the elderly and learn some really cool things and meet really interesting people. (This is the divisional project)
New Projects: We have been trying to find new projects for the club to participate in, but we have not had much success. Many of you have already given us suggestions, and we are exploring those possibilities. If you have any ideas for a new project, please talk to the cabinet or the New
Locksmith Articles: Do you ever wonder who writes those terrific articles in the Locksmith? Do you ever wish that you could do it too? Well, you can. You can submit an article about any of your Key Club experiences (in the past people have written about Convention, Walks, and ongoing projects).
If you would like to help Key Club raise money, sell candy. Just contact your treasurer, Cindy Lin, and she will give you a box of candy to sell.. You don’ t have to pay for the candy first, but you will get a 20 point bonus if you do.
