Hi everyone! I’m Janis, president of Lincoln High School’s Key Club. Since summer has begun, Lincoln has not had too many service events and fundraisers, but most recently, on Saturday, June 23, volunteers from our club participated in an event called Astronomy in the Park at Oak Grove Nature Center, hosted by the Stockton Astronomical Society. Members completed three hours of community service showing kids how asteroids form craters on the moon. Our club plans on volunteering at Oak Grove Nature Center in the event called Astronomy in the Park once again later this month on July 28th! Since Lincoln has not attended District Convention for the past couple years, my officers and I have been brainstorming possible fundraiser events to attain the amount of money needed to attend DCON in the spring. With school beginning next month in August, we have been planning out the school year, thinking of ways to get members to be more involved in the club, suggesting different kinds of fun volunteer events, and how to recruit new members. We hope to have more members attend DCMs and Fall Rally this coming school year to interact with key clubbers from other clubs, as well as feel the spirit of Key Club!
ISABELLE THAM Our Key Club at SECA so far has had half of a busy summer planning for the upcoming school year! This past month we’ve volunteered at Bike or Hike and Charterhouse Center for Families. The Bike or Hike benefitted the Emergency Food Bank and most of us course markers for walk/runners on a 5K around UOP. Other volunteers helped in registration and food service, and afterwards was given thanks with all sorts of balloon animals as well as their gratitude – to hear that the amount we contribute makes such a difference and to know that they appreciate what we love to do – serve – is such an amazing feeling. We’re starting an ongoing volunteer routine with Charterhouse Center, which aims to help parents help their children. Volunteers do work with their literacy program and anything else we are able to help with. We’re in the middle of planning our Board of Directors for the upcoming year, as well as planning for promotion of our club in school. We’re going to be holding a club meeting/ social later this month where we’re going to be reconnecting as a club again and officiating our actual Board of Directors and the other plans we have been planning this summer. This month we’ll also be volunteering with Tigers Aquatics again – we work with them every year on numerous occasions usually to help with food service, timing, and marshaling. We are also volunteering at Delta Blood Bank’s Run for Blood 5K in early August. Our club is so looking forward to OTC – hope to see you all there!
