Genesis Women’s Key Clubbers have aided in an organization that helps women in situations of abuse or neglect. Go to http://www.genesisshelter.org if you would like to volunteer or donate more items.
The Genesis Women’s Shelter promotes the shelter, safety and strength of women who have been victims of abuse or need counseling. It’s open 24/7 for women who need it. A couple of seniors made their Creative, Action and Service Project to help the shelter by donating supplies, so of course Key Clubbers

TURKEY TROT
8
Turkey Trot is one of the most anticipated traditions Garland High School Key Club has. Normally, we love helping at races, but this one race has a special place in our hearts. Every year YMCA and various organizations sponsor Turkey Trot in Dallas. On the morning of Thanksgiving, families, friends, couples and even dogs gather to run though the streets of Dallas in celebration of all that they are thankful for. The atmosphere of Turkey Trot always ensures that everyone will have a great time! Our key clubbers were spread all over the race in registration, packet pick-up food and water stations, etc. From what it looked like, this year the bounce house and obstacle course was that most popular station! Helping kids through the course was a blast and parents even commented on our well - driven system of getting the kids through the course! Those kids sure had a lot of energy! The race this year was especially important, because it was the first Trot race after the sorrowful Boston bombings. Race turnout this year did decline as a result, but the positive attitudes from everyone did not change, thankfully. All in all, everyone had a wonderful time celebrating all that they were thankful for and taking pictures with turkeys of course!
