Hey Key Clubbers!

Alyssa Yin-President

I am very excited for this new year because I can’t wait to participate in more service events and meet new people. The most memorable service project I did was feeding disabled people at Highland Community Center. It is very eye-opening to see how one small action can impact another’s life. Key Club really means a lot to me to I will try my best to help it reach its full potential. This year, I hope more people attend DCMs because it is a great opportunity to make new friends and give back to the community. I hope to see you all at projects and DCMs!

I'm Thomas, a junior at IS and the treasurer for our Key Club. I'm looking forward to serving with some amazing officers and members. I love Key Club because I am passionate about service, which is a major component of this organization. my favorite service activities would have to be DCMs because they occur every month and we get to talk to people all over our division and help the community out in various ways.

Thomas Shen-Treasurer

What I really like about Key Club is all the loving and kind people. It’s like when I first walked in as a freshman, I was already welcomed with open arms. Although I am new to key club, just hearing about the amount of leaderships programs and new opportunities made me fall in love with it. Everyone is open about ideas and never leave anyone out! Also, being able contribute to a good cause makes new opportunities and just makes me feel so happy.

Hi! My name is Sarah Alvi, and I’m in 11th grade. Key club has so many opportunities to help out your community, while still having fun with your fellow key clubbers! One of my favorite service projects would have to be making stuffed animals since it was an experience where I was able to learn a useful skill while still serving my community. I’d like any incoming members to know that being part of key club can be an amazing experience if you just stay with it!

Sarah Alvi-Secretary

What I love the most about Key Club is the community. No matter if you’re at a service project or DCM, everybody participating loves what they’re doing: helping and giving back! My favorite service project would probably be helping at the Highland Games. I met so many new people, and I knew I was helping others who were participating in the races. I hope more people will participate in DCMs and service projects to see what Key Club is all about!
