A Message From The Editor!
Hey Key Clubbers! I’m so honored and excited to be writing to you all for the first time as your bulletin editor for the 2017-2018 term! I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you throughout the year so please don’t feel shy and come up to me whenever you’d like! But enough about me, let’s get to the news! Even though summer has only just begun, do take advantage of all this free time and attend a few service events! It’s a good idea to get a head start on them before the school year begins so that you’re not stressed by the end of the year. Just as a reminder, Key Club requires 15 hours in order for us to sign off on them and our school requires 25 ours each year. In this issue I’m going to reflect on the past term with you guys and plan for the future term. We’ll also be recapping a few recent events and looking at opportunities for you guys that are coming up. I hope that you have a great summer and I can’t wait to see you again in the beginning of the new school year, thank you! Sincerely, Your 2017-2018 Bulletin Editor Vi Le 3

Relay for Life Relay for Life is an annual Key Club tradition that everyone looks forward to; what’s not like about the summer sun, friends, fundraising, and service! We’re proud to have been able to support cancer survivors and those still battling with the disease and hope to see it eradicated someday very soon!
