President’s Message

Summer is almost over, with only a few weeks before school starts back up again in August. It’s gone by so quickly, but you still have a few weeks to finish that summer assignment, read that book, or participate in a service project.

Though I can’t really help you with all that schoolwork (SparkNotes will), if you’re looking to volunteer, I can definitely help with that. Be sure to check our website dentonkeyclub.com frequently in the upcoming days and weeks as events will continue to be added for August and September. Also be on the lookout for our first meeting date that will be announced by time school starts up again. This is going to be a great year, and it starts now!

Editor’s Message There are many ways to volunteer in the summer, even if you’re away from home. For instance, I’m

visiting California for the summer, but I volunteer six days a week, sometimes even seven. On Mondays, I volunteered at Saddleback Food Pantry. We got ready for the food pantry the next day. We stocked and sorted through items from 12 PM to 4 PM, sometimes even 6 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I

volunteered at Saddleback Food Pantry from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. On Wednesday, I volunteered

from 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM. On Fridays and Saturdays I volunteered at the Orange County Branch

Library (El Toro). On Sundays, I volunteered at Presbyterian Church of the Master’s Sunday Dinner from 4 PM to 7 PM. We made a free meal for anyone who came. The bread is donated by Panera. We make bags and let people take bread home. Volunteering can even be entertaining. On Friday, August 3 and Sunday, August 4, I volunteered at Shakespeare by the Sea’s performances of The Merry Wives of

Windsor and The Winter’s Tale. Volunteers helped set up the booths, handed out questionnaires, and sold programs and raffle tickets. I challenge you to do at least to sign up for at least one event this upcoming month. You get such an amazing feeling from doing things for others that you can’t get anywhere else. I love putting a smile on peoples faces. If you happen to be taking a trip to the beach, you can pick up

trash for even just 15 minutes. It doesn’t have to be at the beach. It can be in a local park, school, by the sidewalk, or wherever you happen to see trash. Even if it seems small, it will make a world of difference.

Writing to Key-p you Informed and Serving to Make a Difference,

Editor’s Message (Saddleback Food Pantry) Saddleback Food Pantry started 9 1/2 years ago in Easter of 2009. When it first started, it was at the distribution center. In the past, families, regardless of size, would just be handed a bag of food. They were given the same items and same amount. It didn’t matter if you didn’t like what was in the bag. In December 2011, a building was built: the PEACE Center. The Saddleback Food Pantry moved there, along with community resources. The goal was for the food pantry to be like a store. It’s come a long way.

Now, they serve up to 60 to 70 families a day.

The Stats on Litter

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2006 every person in the United States generated 4.6 pounds of waste per day Only 32.5 percent of that was recovered and recycled or composted, while 12.5 percent was burned at combustion facilities, and the remaining 55 percent ended up in landfills…or not.

Keep America Beautiful’s 2009 National Visible Litter Survey and Litter Cost Study* identifies individuals as the primary source of litter. Motorists and pedestrians are littering on roads and highways, in downtown business districts, recreational areas, and beaches.

Motorists and pedestrians contribute a combined nearly 70% of litter over 4 inches. Along roadways and highways, motorists generate 52.2% of litter and pedestrians 17.5%.

Over 51billion pieces of litter appear on U.S. roadways each year. Most of it, 46.6 billion pieces (91%), is less than four inches. That’s 6,729 items per mile of roadway.

The Breakdown

Tobacco products comprise roughly 38% of ALL U.S. roadway litter in overall aggregate analysis. Paper (22%) and plastic (19%) are the next largest percentages of litter on roads and highways.

Packaging litter comprises nearly 46% of litter 4 inches and greater. This includes fast food, snack, tobacco, and other product packaging. And 61% of beverage containers 4 inches or greater on U.S. roadways are soft drink and beer containers.

The Stats on Litter in the Ocean For instance, the Independent (a U.K. newspaper) reported in February 2008 that a "plastic soup" of waste twice the size of the continental United States is floating in the Pacific Ocean — and growing at an alarming rate. 4/5th of this 100 million tons of trash has come from land.

The United Nations Environment Programme reports that plastic debris causes the deaths of more than 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year.

What is Key Club?

How did it start?

How does it work?

What’s Kiwanis?

Key Club International is the world’s largest student-led service organization in the world. Denton High School is the local chapter of this club of 270,000 members from 38 countries.

Our board, made up of the club officers and committee chairs, seeks out or creates service projects to address needs in the community. Our large member base helps us fulfill these needs.

Remind

The local chapter of Key Club at Denton High School has a lot of history. Key Club International was founded in 1925 based out of California. It has been adopted to stand for Kiwanis Educating Youth.

Kiwanis is the sponsoring parent organization of Key Club. It’s like Key Club for grown-ups. Our club is sponsored by Denton Breakfast Kiwanis Club, made up of community leaders in Denton.
