1) How has Key Club had an impact on you?
Key Club has impacted me positively. When I joined, it was to hang out with my friends and for community service hours. But now, it's about the people that I meet and the impact I have made on my community through something as simple as volunteering on a Saturday and a Sunday. It really is a great way to meet new people and connect with them while doing work that has a positive impact on our community.

Editor's Note Hey guys! First of all, it was great to see that SO MANY people applied for Key Club board! Just taking the initiative to apply is a great boost to your personality. Congrats to all the people who passed the first round and best of luck for the interview round! Remember it's not scary and it's just a way for us to see what kind of a person you are since it is is hard to see it through a google form lol. This is my second last newsletter and I am definitely gonna miss it so much! But I know the upcoming editor will make even more amazing newsletters than this one! See you next month!!
YOURS TRULY, ADHISHREE
