RECAP Dollywood, our District Fall Rally was a blast! This year was one of the biggest Fall Rally in K-T HISTORY so thank you so much for all of you who came out! I hope you had fun (because I know I did)! This was my first Fall Rally and I didn’t know what to expect but seeing all you guys was so eye-opening. I got to experience how big and impactful Key Club was. I can’t wait til District Convention (DCON) and see you all again! “It was my first Fall Rally, and it was an awesome experience because I got to meet new people from various divisions. I also loved spending more time with my club members, and getting to know them more in a carefree environment.” -Sharon Kim, District Secretary

Unaka High School
Unaka High School observed Spina Bifida Day and sponsored their biggest project‌ the annual Spina Bifida Walk. This year, it was held on October 24th Key clubbers made and sold yellow ribbons and they were able to raise over $2000! The son of a faculty member has Spina Bifida so Team Brody is near, dear to their hearts and really hits home.

Walden High School Walden High School hosted a Haunted House, Monster Mash, on October 23rd—their annual event they do in partnership with the Walden Parent Association. The key clubbers along with the faculty advisor were able to contribute by constructing the house and coordinating the event. They hosted 2 haunted houses (one for lower school and one for middle and high schoolers) so that people of all ages were able to come and have fun! Walden uses this event to spread awareness of Key Club to all three levels as well as using it to bond since the school offers K-12. It also allowed for bonding for the Key Club members to interact with each other and make new friends. All profits made in the haunted house is used towards paying dues as well as funding for throughout the year for supplies to use in service projects or for Key Club events. Keep on serving!
