My definition of key club –devin tran

Featured

To me, Key Club isn't just a non-profit organization, but a way for individuals to help people and make a difference in their community. It's not just the officials and adults that make up Key Club, but all of the amazing members that make a difference.

That is what I love about Key Club - the passion the members have to help, their kindness and their relationships. Through Key Club, I have been able to meet a lot of new friends and help my community and people in need. I had the amazing opportunity to help support Pediatric Trauma Program through Fall Rally North, which wasn't only just fun, but it also helped raise money for the program!

My second family - nancy le

Key Club is like my second family. I love how not only did I get to meet such kind-hearted, loving people, but also their love to give back to the community as much as I do.

They inspire me to be better person that I can ever be. And because there are many upperclassmen, I look up to them. I get to learn what their personalities are like and I try to learn from them as much as I can whether it’s about leadership, the act of kindness, integrity, etc. I am so thankful that I joined this club because, they give me joy. I have met many spontaneous people that I never thought I would be close with and it extended my comfort zone. I don’t have any specific favorite moment or memory of Key Club because all of my memories of Key Club are my favorite. I hope that many other people join Key Club as well so that they can have one of the greatest experiences like I have.

Thankful - venh vong

Featured

Hello! My name is Venh Vong and I am the Vice President of Sheldon Key Club (I was about to put President of SKC :D). Thank YOU for taking your time to read this article about me. You, the member (or officer), are my inspiration and motivation to keep moving on each day. At the beginning of the term I truly did not believe in myself. I was honestly super scared of taking on the role of Vice President. It was so new to me and I didn’t like change because change is scary. As the school year started I was disappointed in myself for not being as good as a VP as I could be, and in my eyes I was letting you all down, but as I continued on and met new Key Clubbers from our club I realized that I didn’t have to be perfect in order to be appreciated. I was fine the way I was. You guys lift me up when I am in my darkest place and just seeing your bright, smiling faces make my day. I am truly honored to be in the presence of such amazing people. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to serve you guys all, which in turkey terms translate to, Gobble gobble GOBBLE!!

Monsters of the Month

Member and officer of the month Member of the Month - nancy le She is an amazing freshman who never disappoints. She is almost always present at service events. She always is keeping in touch with all members and making everyone little goodie bags for fun. She has a fun personality and I can see that she has lots to contribute to our club's future.

Page 16

Officer of the Month - Stephanie ilaga She is always present at all meetings and events.

I've seen her grow since her freshman year from a shy little girl to the blossom she is today. She has a whooping 73 service hours and is a great service coordinator and friend. Not only does she have great social skills, but her make up is always on fleek. If you ever need help with anything, I'm sure that this girl will reply and tend to your every need because she's just awesome like that.
