WRITING LETTERS TO VETERANS The monthly meeting of November brought the Plano East Key Clubbers together for an informational shares and also a wonderful service activity. This service activity was suggested by our lovely officers and allowed our members to tap into their creative side. The students were writing and drawing letters for veterans since Veterans Day was just around the corner (November 11th). We advised our Key Clubbers to follow guidelines such as an opening of “Dear Hero” or “Dear Brave One,” writing a little note expressing gratitude for the veterans’ service, sharing hobbies, and drawing small illustrations.

These guidelines were followed promptly in order to aid in the screening process.

This service activity was very important because America is standing because of the sacrifices our people make. Having our members show their gratitude and encouragement for the recipients to be mentally uplifted teaches appreciation on so many levels and Plano East Key Club is proud to say that our contributions have impacted at least some people in need. The officers hope to hold service activities of this kind to give back to our world.


Operation Gratitude is the organization behind many letters that are sent to veterans. Plano East Key Club would like to thank Operation Gratitude for giving many people and even school clubs the opportunity to thank all parts of the social services of the United States: deployed troops, veterans, new recruits, and first responders. Plano East Key Club would also like to encourage members to set up an event for writing letters to any part of America’s social services in the future when they are in different service clubs. We hope to make this volunteering activity an annual event for our members to dedicate time for their freedom and protection in the United States of America.
