Hey Key Clubbies!
How have the first few months of the school year been so far for everyone? As for me, they’ve definitely been a lot more than expected — junior year is no joke! Although everyone’s had a lot of school work these past few weeks, I’m sure that we were all able to adjust well into the new school year, and I hope you guys had the chance to participate in some of our exciting events throughout October!! I had a blast at NYSOM’s Halloween Havoc event, where we the haunted house and dressed u awesome costumes. As the months turn colder, we’re shifting towards indoor events, bu that doesn’t mean they’ll be any less fun! Be on the lookout for some cool fundraisers in the coming months :) Yours in Service, Hasana Abdullah Bulletin Editor '22-'23

HEY KEY CLUBBIES <3
Wow, another month flew by just like that. I hope all of you guys are staying afloat in your schoolwork while also actively serving your community! Every volunteer event you show up to truly makes a difference in our community. During the month of October we had a ton of fun walks suc the Breast Cancer Walk and t Walk to End Alzheimer’s! The Fall Rally from Division 1 to 12 that showcased a bunch of fun workshops and insightful service projects for members and board officers to learn more about the role they play in Key Club. We also enjoyed the spooky holiday festivities during the NYSoM Halloween Havoc and Halloween at the Garden. Shoutout to everyone who showed up to all these events and GET EXCITED for our upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Movie Fundraiser on November 26th! Buy your tickets for $18 as soon as possible! And with that, we start another wonderful service month. Remember to stay dedicated and active my friends <3 Yours in Service, Erica Jin President ‘22 ‘23
