A Word From Your SECRETARY Fannie Law I love Key Club it’s— The reason why Key Club means so much to me is because— Well, my first encounter with Key Club all started when— How should I put this? I don’t think that I can express Key Club in just a few words (especially since I don’t seem to have a way with words). How can I make you guys understand that Key Club is the best thing that’s ever happened to me? For some reason that is why I love volunteering to the extent that I feel selfish every time I go to an event because I’m not just helping my community, I’m helping myself too. The feeling of giving someone a helping hand felt like I was picking myself up from the ground. And that talking to a complete and total stranger made me feel like I was putting myself back together. And I didn’t even know that I was broken in the first place. How can I possibly explain what Key Club means to me? Because I don’t think it’s something that you can put in words. Maybe because the only way you can really express it is by the things that you do, how far you’re willing to go in a matter of hours, and just how much you care. And somehow, you can gain confidence from someone else’s happiness. Amazingly, you can feel better about who you are for one moment. And maybe, the world really isn’t out to get you but just needs your help. It all depends on whether or not you’re willing to reach out, put someone back on their feet, and cheer them on as they continue from where they left off with their life. I think that being part of the cab means that I have to take that first step. And start thinking about helping others before anyone else. My job isn’t just limited to taking notes and filling out paperwork; it involves what you guys do as well. I can’t do everything alone because that’s just not the way Key Club works. I need your opinions, your questions, and your voices to try to give me advice so that I can try to make Key Club one of the best experiences you’ll ever have. I do have a responsibility to everyone in this club and that’s to have everyone feel the same way about Key Club that I do. Am I being optimistic? Yeah, but really, can you help being any other way after being a Key Clubber?
