First Club Meeting
Painting the Courtyard
Before the first meeting even happened, our
faculty adviser already planned an event! The
event was painting the courtyard. For a few years
now, the courtyard was just a big and desolate
outdoor space. But now, Mr. Ryan is fixing it up to
be a place where people can actually enjoy it.
At our first meeting, the attendance was over 50 members, both new and
old. We started off by introducing the officers, our guest, Arthur Bookstein
(Clackamas Key Club President), and had our advisers give an intro about
themselves with a small speech. Our Kiwanis adviser, Jim McAllister, gave a
strong and informative speech about the importance of Key Club and his
hopes for the upcoming year. Mike Ryan, our faculty adviser, also talked
about this upcoming year and how he'd do his best to contribute to our
club. It's his first year being our faculty adviser for Key Club. Welcome to the
family, Mr. Ryan! After the formalities were done, we gave a quick and
watered-down talk about how
Key Club works. You as a
member are apart of a division,
which makes up a district, and
creates Key Club International.
Thus you should never forget
that you are always a part of
something big!
He asked of us Key Clubbers to help paint and fix up the
walls. Slowly, the walls are becoming a relaxing blue
color, instead of the old white walls. Thank you Mr. Ryan
for allowing us to help paint the courtyard--Key Club
style! And also, thank you to Kim and Angel Le, Hoang
Duong, Yen Nguyen, Phuong Uyen Nguyen, Kien Tran,
and William for participating in this event.

Reminders
Sneak a Peek! Halloween’s coming up, so what’s Key Club going to do about it? We’re
going to do Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEF. We’ll give you boxes to go trick or
treating with, but the difference is, you’ll be collecting money instead of
candy and sweets. When you Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEF with Key Club, the
money will go to our district project, The Eliminate Project. That way, you’ll
not only save your teeth and health, you’ll also save mothers and babies
from Maternal Neonatal Tetanus (MNT). You don’t have to dress up as a
super hero this Halloween to be one! There will also be a prize for whoever
raises the most, so give it a shot.
Aside from trick or treating, we’re going to be selling Eliminate
merchandise! The money will, of course, go to the Eliminate Project. This
brand of merchandise includes a bro tank, t-shirt, and
lanyard. Check it out!
