My plans for this year is to make the whole Key club experience specia l to all of the member s. With the numerous clubs th at already exist in W estminster HS, it’s not hard for Ke yclub to quickly blend in as “just another club”.

So to fix this, I anticipa te on promoting Key club kn owledge and hosting more socials so members fe el much more at home in this club. I know my board will do an amazing job working towards this goal alo ngside me and I’m very excited of what’s to come fo r the rest of the term !!

Rancho Alamitos

”

The 2017-2018 term can only be described as ambitious. Ranc ho

Alamitos is determined to fund raise harder, promote better, and

participate more as we try to make our club a respectable one in our school and division. We have made ambitious but not impossibl e goals

like raising $800 for our pref erred charities as well as incre asing

membership by 5 members per grade level. Hopefully this can be

accomplished through intense fundraising as well as adverti sing about our club. Alongside these goa ls, Rancho Key Club is also tryi ng to

increase our number of Fall Rally and District Convention attend ees

since they have been at a reco rd low the previous years. Desp ite

these big goals, we will not lose sight of our original purposes of

spreading service, care, and leadership to our community.

To promote

care and service, Rancho is tryi ng to implement different serv ice

activities at our meetings so those unable to attend a wee kend

event may still earn hours. In order to facilitate leadersh ip, the club has expanded its board and opened up new opportunities to take initiative. We are even hoping to host our own training conf erences for members at the beginnin g of the school year. With the proper time and dedication, these goa ls can be achieved in Rancho Alamitos Key Club’s new term. As the 2017 -2018 president, I am excited to see the changes our club will brin g as we continue to serve and reach our full potentials.

Anyone is welcomed in our key Club family. To gether, we will share our passi on for volunteering an d make unbreakable bonds. An other goal we have is to maintain member rete ntion while increasing membership.

Garden Grove

My plan for this term is to incr ease our member retention and boost our club’s reputation to its former glory! Last term we didn’t go any fundraisers and this term will definitely be dif ferent! Already, we’ve had a surplus of events and we have also been trying to increase our collective hou rs as a club! I want to make Key Club a family and a memorable high school experience for our members, not just something they can put on their college applica tions. Garden Grove’s board this term so far has sho wn lots of promise and enthusiasm and I know that we’ll be successful!

Hello!! This is term I re ally want to focus on fundraising an d more attendance to events. I also want to have the board connect with the memb ers as much as possibl e so that we can have a friendly member/ board relationship. Ov erall, I want this term s to be as successful as the last.

Santa Ana Valley Valley has a lot of plans for fundraising.

We have a very humble goal of $300 split between PTP and Project Elim inate, but we plan on exceeding that by at least $1000 from current fundraising projects of selling coupon books and having an acai bowl truck cat er our school’s Girls Water Polo Junior Olympics. We also would like to donate to our preferred cha rity Gobble Gobble Give. Lastly, our club will educat e future members on what Key Club is by being featured on our school’s monthly school video recap.

On May 28th, 2017, W estminster Key Club ho sted our banquet to ho nor our term of service an d our seniors who will be leaving. Every single bo ard member of the new te rm put a lot of time an d effort into preparing the banquet and exec uting it. Our president, Kaitlyn Huynh, put in so much of her own time and mo ney into the event an d ultimately made it a very special night to all . Board members came early to set up and pa ss tickets out to arriving members. The food se lection ranged from ch ow mein to pad thai to fr ied rice. Once a majority of our members arrived , we began socializing an d getting to know ea ch other more. At our table, we tried starting a fe w ice breakers to get to know one another.

After socializing, we started handing out awards, an d my best friend, Nath an Lai, was awarded soph omore member of the year! I’m extremely pr oud of his hard work and ef forts into Key Club! W e also got to hear our IP Board members give a heart warming speech and sh ow their dance video they prepared. The night en ded with some final re marks and it was a tr uly unforgettable event.

Words can’t describe how I felt or how amaz ing the event was, but I know that it’s something I’ll never forget.
