a letter from

multimedia Hello friends and fellow superheroes!! It’s been so long since we last talked in our little newsletter section hehe, so I’m very glad I can catch up with you all <3.

How were finals? I hope you guys didn’t stay up too late studying for them, and that they went super well. I honestly didn’t have too many finals, but I did stay up one night until 5 AM writing an essay... PSA to the underclassmen, don’t underestimate APENG :’).

In the past few months, we’ve seen you all go above and beyond to attend our events and bond with us, even over winter break! It’s so heartwarming seeing you guys continue to show your dedication to our club and those in need, and your efforts do not go unnoticed.

Key Club wouldn’t be the same without each and every

one of you, and I’m so glad we were able to enter 2021

on such positive notes. I fully believe that this year will be

one for the books, and I can’t wait to spend it with you

all!! And of course, thank you so much for reading our newsletter :-).

sincerely,

Jessica Mason

secretary & Hello superheroes!

I’m Selena, and I serve as Irvington Key Club’s Secretary. I’ve been in Key Club since sophomore year and I’ve been able to go to so many events and have so many amazing experiences. It’s such a fun environment and I hope that you also are able to have fun in this club too! To all of you in Key Club, thank you so much for your dedication, passion, and your hard work this school year. We appreciate you! ❤ In February, look forward to more service events, fundraisers, and our general meeting. Also, remember to pay dues if you haven’t!

These opportunities all allow you to get involved and make friends with other great people, so I recommend that you do not miss out. I hope you all have fun with our upcoming events, and I’ll see you all there! If you have any questions about our club, feel free to contact me! Stay healthy and happy :)

recap!

november general meeting

On November 13, we had our November general meeting! We decided to go with an Avatar: The Last Airbender theme, including Uncle Iroh themed slides and chill Avatar lofi beats in the background. During the meeting, we went over paying dues and the membership recognition program. In addition, we also announced our December events and fundraisers! December was super busy, and you can read more about that here.

Most notably, our amazing Kiwanis advisor, Mr. Chip Koehler, came to our meeting and talked to us for a bit!

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so thankful for all that Mr. Koehler does for our club, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad our members could meet him! And of course, thank you guys for attending <3.

Mountain Mike’s

RA

On December 19, Milpitas Key Club hosted a pizza fundraiser at Mountain Mike’s Milpitas location! Irvington Key Club wanted to help out a fellow D12E sister club, and publicized the event on social media. The fundraiser was super successful, and we even saw Irvington members make the long drive over to buy pizza and support PTP, where Key Club donated the fundraiser’s earnings to.

Especially with the current situation, it’s been a challenge to fundraise, so we’re extremely happy that we could help another club out!

From December 20 to December 26 (an entire week!!), the Fremont Key Clubs hosted a fundraiser at YiFang Taiwan Fruit Tea, a popular boba tea shop near American High School.

We were so happy to see tons of Key Clubbers come to buy tea, and they also loved the cute receipt box American Key made for the fundraiser! Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note (Jessica), the pineapple green tea was supa good~
