Hello fellow Key Clubbers! I am having a blast

making these newsletters, and you guys are so sup-

portive! I am so happy you enjoyed the last issue.

Now, this is my first time being a bulletin editor.

Meaning I am always looking for better and more ef-

ficient templates or programs, so please excuse the

sudden appearance changes. I hope the mixture

keeps it interesting!

We’re all family here right? So feel free to com-

ment on these newsletters! I would love to hear from

you. Want to add something? Shoot me an email.

Tired of seeing the same thing? Let me know. Your

guy’s feedback is so beneficial to both me and the

club. If there are ever any upcoming events or things

you feel need to be put in, also let me know. I am

here for you, so let your thoughts be heard!

I hope you enjoy this next issue, and don’t for-

get to be getting those hours, It’s a new (Key Club)

year!

Some more outstanding members of the month!

Hey Key Clubbers, I’m literally so psyched for

the events coming up this month… well maybe just

for some of them. The month of May will definitely

be stressful, what with AP testing on top of the usual

workload of school. But don’t fret, school is out next

month, and there are a lot of Key Club events to

cheer you up until then! Don’t forget that you can

always reach out to me or anyone else in the Key

Club family if you need help. After all, caring is our

way of life!

First of all, I really want to thank anyone that was involved in Eliminate

Week. We had a table set up during lunches to raise awareness and collect dona-

tions for the Eliminate Project. After collecting donations from the KR community

during all three lunches, we raised a total of $__43.87_, immunizing __24_ moth-

ers and their future children from MNT!

Another exciting event that happens every May is the May Joint DCM. For

those of you who don’t know, DCM stands for Divisional Council Meeting, where

Key Clubbers in our Division have a meeting every month. For the past few years,

the May DCM has always been a big joint DCM, where multiple Divisions get to

meet up and have fun! The May DCM is on May 16th at Gene Coulon Park. This

DCM in particular is really fun for everyone, since you get to meet so many new

people and hang out at the park. I highly recommend that you all go!

Even more events will be presented in this newsletter as well as the on our

Facebook group/school email. Night of Honor, Relay for Life, Kent’s Amazing

Race, and many other events are all coming up soon! I hope you enjoy this news-

letter made by our beautiful bulletin editor Danika, and I can’t wait to continue

serving the community with you all. Good luck on exams, and don’t forget to en-

joy the sun! Stay classy, Key Clubbers.

In love and service,

Jessica Lou

To my fellow Key Clubbers,

I hope everyone has been keeping up with this busy season! Personally,

with tennis, AP tests, and other Key Club duties, I have had my hands full. I can’t

deny that I haven’t been able to completely focus on Key Club, but I know many

of you are in the same situation. I applaud all of you who continue to attend Key

Club meetings, recycle, and volunteer, and I respect those who may have missed a

couple Key Club events. Without a doubt, I can’t wait to put my full concentration

on Key Club and I hope our attendance numbers go back up after spring season is

over as well. Have a great day and keep on volunteering!

As always,

Theresa Tran

Officer Letter, Ammara Touch

If you have yet to meet Ammara Touch, then you're missing out. This lovely

lady will be taking over as secretary. Both hardworking and devoted I cant wait to

see what new ideas she will bring to the club. I am proud to present you with Am-

mara’s first officer letter!:

Key Club. When I hear people ask, "what's that?" (or, "do you guys make

keys?") I beam and get the pride of explaining our wonderful club. We're a service

club...and so much more; what we do saves lives, warms the hearts, gives hope and

builds connections. We're a family. There are no words to express how happy and

excited I am to be secretary for the 2015-2016 school year. I recognized my love for

service in middle school, and since I joined Key Club, I saw how passionate every-

one was to make a change, and I wanted to be a greater part of that change. I

wanted to inspire members to become better people, better volunteers. And more

than anything, I wanted to instill that love of service that becomes second nature.

Now, as a sophomore and officer, I am so ready to do that, and so much more, with

you all. Anything from fundraising to bonding. I want to bring Key Club into the

Walk to End Lupus and its effort to find a cure for a terrible disease. We are capable

of remarkable things; I've seen it and know it. We're in this together; I'm looking for-

ward to hearing your ideas, working with you, and making this club the best it can

be. Thank you for your hard work!

Love,

Your Secretary, Ammara Touch

I’m sure many of you have heard about our former secre-

tary being selected to be the districts new MGRC. But don’t wor-

ry if you didn't get the memo, all the info’s here. I’ll let Tiffany do

the explaining:

I am honored to serve you all as the newly appointed PNW

District Membership Growth and Reactivation Director. Phew,

long title! As MGRC, my plans for the upcoming year are to in-

crease and retain membership through various resources creat-

ed, along with aiding inactive clubs around the district to get

them back on track. On the club level, I’m happy to help KR Key

Club thrive in these terms of active membership, by promoting

Key Club and involving all members in meetings, events, and

service projects! I hope to see each of your faces at one of these

events. If you have any questions whatsoever about member-

ship or Key Club in general, don’t hesitate to stop by me and

ask! I am excited to help, and I’m glad all of you are such great

members.

eventually moved it over to

the grass where we proceed-

ed to play red rover. A few

hours and pizza boxes later

Didn’t attend the April

DCM? Well don’t fret because

you’ll be able to hear all

about it here! Last months

DCM took place at the Gene

Coulon Park. Being Key Club-

bers we couldn't get together

and not help out the commu-

nity! So several of us rolled up

our sleeves and helped out

during Arbor and Earth Day.

After we all planted trees,

plants, and picked up gar-

bage we decided to take over

the playground. Enough

things got down to business

as we talked club and mem-

bership goals. Overall it was

an amazing time, and we got

to interact with people from

all the other clubs. What bet-

ter way then to spend your

day with Key Clubbers?! So if

you want to talk service,

swing on swings, and have

fun with your friends I would

definitely recommend the

next DCM!

Its that time again… Eliminate week! This month we celebrated elimi-

nate week. Thanks to all the people who sported their Key Club gear on the

5th and donated during lunch! You guys are the real hero's (sorry

Avengers :/). Keep donating and remember “don’t hate, eliminate!”

Eliminate Facts:

160 babies dies each day from tetanus

MNT has been eliminated in 20 countries since 2000

The eliminate project has saved 61 million women and babies

All it takes to protect a mom and her future children Is $1.80

Upcoming DCM’s

Have a question? Email anyone of us via school email!

I am proud to announce that our

two members of the month are Kristin

Mannschreck and Oscar Osorio! These two

have been dedicating so much time to the

club, whether it be spending hours doing

recycling and buying pizza for your fellow

workers. Or spending you weekends vol-

unteering at an Alzheimer home and be-

ing one of the only people to show up to a

volunteer event. These two have been

hard at work and deserve a huge thanks

when you see them next! Keep up the

good work guys!

Shout out to those who have been coming to recycling every week! Just a few

weeks ago a group less than 5 spent 2 hours of their Friday helping the janitors out

with the recycling. Members like you are what keep the club going. Keep up the

awesome work!
