Hey Cubs, As I’m writing this I’m slowly tearing up I can’t believe our service year is over. This has been an amazing journey of struggles and exciting adventures I have learned, met , seen so much and I wouldn't trade these memories for the world. I’m going to miss being on the board so much this was an amazing part of my life and it is a memorable experience I will hold dear to me forever. I’m so proud to have called myself your editor all you general members are so dedicated, sweet, and are full of passion for key club I wish an amazing amount of luck to the seniors heading of to college and a large amount to the new board it isn't easy but with the help of the board I know you can do if not better, bur just as good for the 2014-2015 service board. Thank you again cubs for everything and good luck ! Forever Your in Caring and Service, Your 2013-2014 Bulletin Editor
This is will be my final farewell as this service year comes to an end. At the end of the 2014 District Convention, us current officers will be going into retirement, as hasbeens, and the new officer board will take over. In my final president’s letter I would just like to say that it’s truly been a pleasure and a great blessing to be president of such an amazing club with so many caring and dedicated members. As president, when I hear about all the amazing things our club members do during service projects I just become overwhelmed with pride and joy. Thank you for making my service year great. Good luck to those going off to college, hope you guys come back for VBAT next year! As for those that are still at EHTHS, I hope you decide to join Key Club again next year and continue your passion for service! For the new board, I wish you an amazing service year! I just know you’ll make the club better than ever once I come back to visit. Always Yours in Loves, Caring, and Service, Your 2013-2014 Key Club President, Vi Nguyen

"Ahh the momentous VBAT. What to say...more than 8 hours of insane chaos. Reefing can get very tough. Don't worry though. It's also packed with lots of fun and sweat. You get to watch teams and friends compete. It gets even more intense as time starts to run out! I totally recommend signing up for this amazing event next year. The Special Events committee works extra hard so that everybody has a satisfying night. Careful though; you might get hit by a volleyball! BY: DERRICK CHEN Position: VP Elect
As a Referee at Volleyball-A-Thon. I believe that the event turned out Amazing. Everyone was having fun and all the players were very supportive to each other and the other teams. Being a first experience Reference was Great. I got to not only help out Key Club with the event but also have fun doing it. The game itself was very intense and competitive but not too much. Main point is that everyone was playing a game that they had Fun and that's the most important part of the game. BY: THAN HUYNH Position: General member
Volleyball-A-Thon was honestly not how I expected it to be. At first I was nervous to ref, but I slowly got used to it and it became really fun. All together it was an exciting experience to watch the teams compete, especially since they were amazing. I’m pretty sure I will do VBAT again next year! BY: PRIYA PARKITH Position: General member

On Friday, March 14th, Egg Harbor Township High School's Key Club, held its 13th annual Volleyball-a-Thon ( VBAT for short), a volleyball tournament held to benefit the Eliminate Project - one of Key Club's preferred charities to eliminate MNT (maternal/neonatal tetanus). Setup for the event started immediately after school and at 5PM players checked in. By 6PM players were at the courts and the games began. Though the event did not end until approximately 1AM, players, refs, and faculty members continued to have fun throughout the night. Overall VBAT was a huge success. We raised over $3,000 dollars, which is enough to vaccinate over 2,000 mothers and their future babies from the MNT. It was one of the best Volleyballa Thons we ever had. I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to next year's VBAT!
