Icebreakers, Key Club 101 Information, food, games, etc. Do whatever you please but keep in mind the well-being of your club and club members! Projects are required every single meeting.

MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS/PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS/CONCERNS We have a club executive board at every high school because there is a lot of work that goes into coordinating meetings and projects. Please make sure that you are doing your best and upholding the commitments you made during your Key Club elections. This has always been a policy: Club Executive Board Members will be impeached if they do not perform their expected tasks. More discussion will take place soon.

However, before I pour my heart out about prioritizing Key Club… let’s play a little game to see who actually “Watch your thoughts; reads my newsletters! I honestly put hours into these editions every month they become words. and I appreciate all of you who Watch your words; spend the time to read it. To get a they become actions. general idea of who reads and who doesn’t, please post on my Watch your actions; Facebook wall with this: “Hi. Can I they become habits. have a mint? My (noun) is (adjective). —(1st letter of first name) Watch your habits; (last letter of last name)(# of letters in they become last name)” For example, my post character. would say “Hi.
