It is time to unlock the way into Key Club. Meetings are every Wednesday morning at 7:15 in the Student Council room. All you have to do is attend a meeting and fill out a new member sheet.

Each year there is approximately $6,000 from money and goods that are donated. Also, there are about 100 members each year and the goal to meet the requirement is 40 hours.

“Key Club has over 50 service projects a year and rarely any requests are turned down,” Key Club sponsor Erin Garvey said.

Each week, there are at least four projects and something new is always going on. Students do not have to do all of the service projects; they can pick and choose what they would like.

Members work to benefit Special Olympics, Adopt-A-Family, The Food Drive, and various other foundations. Some of these activities consist of donating food items, reading to elementary students or donating books.

“We go to the Special Olympics bowling and just really help support them. It’s a great way to have the chance to become friends with them,” senior Sammi Novak said. People could be making a big difference in someone else’s life and not even know it. This is a great way to help out the community.

“It’s a good way to show people all the different ways you can help other out. Plus it looks very good on college applications and scholarships,” Garvey said.

“It’s a great way to get involved in the school. It is very easy and laid back which makes it that much more fun,” junior Brianna Schweitzer said.
