Key club survival kit
Must Have: • Full-Fare Metrocard (Even if it’s on a school-day. A mission once ended past 8.) • A cell-phone, someone with a cell-phone, or money for a pay phone. (Some events are hard to find or you might get separated from the project captain or event administrator.)
Who remembers what the letters “KEY” stand for in KEY Club?
• A friend or train-buddy. (Some events can be very lonely but an event with a buddy always ROCKS!) • MP3/iPod (In case your route home is very different from everyone else’s.) • A print-out of event details. (It helps!)

STUY KEY CLUB
Jensen is a veteran of the Key Club Honorable Volunteer Force. He has been through so much in his time and has learned some ―musthaves‖ when going on a mission. Now on reserve, Jensen has compiled a list for your next project.
• Umbrella (I don’t care if the sun is shining. Read about Relay for Life in the June issue.) :] • A good attitude. (Need I say more?) • A lot of time (I’d love if everyone can go to events but if you have a ton of school-work, don’t come. School always comes before Key Club—curriculars before extracurriculars.) A Subway Map (They’re free and helpful, esp. on days with hundreds of delays and service changes.)
Miscellaneous • Some events will give you a free shirt, so you might want a bag. • If it’s cold (especially events early in the morning), wear layers! • Some events require a lot of walking or running around. (The Robotics Competition is one of the most exciting events, but it involves a lot of fancy footwork. Look forward to it! :]) • If you have sore throat, then events relating to the NYRR or “cheering” might worsen the state of your throat. • It’s a one-timer, but five lucky guys might get the chance to dock boats at the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival. Wear trunks and sandals just in case others decide to play a prank on you and you’re the unlucky one that gets pushed into the lake. • Some events are on school days but at night. Usually, you meet up at Stuy but you can do whatever you want before it starts. Just don’t be late! You might hold up everyone else they’ll all be late to the event. • If you’re really dedicated, then you will know Chinatown and Central Park very well. Friend us on Facebook. It is one of the best means of communication. AIM ranks number one though.
Many of us understand, but don’t be late. Hope this helps! :] Good luck, comrades! - Jensen Cheong
