LETTER FROM THE HAPPY HALLOWEEN KEY CLUBBIES! It's officially spooky season! Welcome back to the seventh newsletter of the service year.

October was filled with numerous engaging and exciting service projects, I was so happy to see countless key clubbies at these events. since there are volunteer limits on events sometimes, I suggest that you guys fill out the interest forms as soon as we introduce them to secure your spot. If you weren't able to make it to any of our events yet, don't fret because there are many more opportunities in November (some of which don't have a limit!).

Lastly, I hope that everyone is enjoying Key Club so far and find happiness in giving back to our community.

Yours In Service,

Erica Jin

Hi Key Club! To start off, I'd like to give thanks and recognition to all of the awesome cabinet members for all of their hard work for making this newsletter possible in addition to maintaining the integrity of Key Club. I am a freshman and I decided to join Key Club as soon as the year began in September and it is the best decision I have made by far. I have no regrets whatsoever. Especially being the October 2021 Member of the Month this early in the school year is a huge honor.

Upon joining Key Club I immediately knew that this was the club for me as I have a ton of free time over the weekends and, as this is my first year of high school, I was eager to try out different things and meet new people. My first event was the Shang-chi Fundraiser as it was the first movie I've seen in over a year and a half (pandemic) and it felt nice hanging out with others on top of earning service hours and fighting cancer. My experience has been phenomenal so far, I've gotten to go to places I don't usually go to at all and it has made me realize that there are always going to be opportunities to assist/support the community of NYC and what better way to start doing that than with Key Club? Key Club gives me something to look forward to through every event after the other and that is exactly why I love it. I see myself + others integrating the four core values into ourselves while being part of this club and I look forward to committing myself to it even more and doing as much as I can in the future. To any non key-clubbers, join today!

Service hours + making friends (with an AMAZING CABINET) + going to new places + supporting NYC. Trust me, you will not regret it. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter!

FLHS X TH ROLLER-SK

TOWNSEND HARRIS KEY CLUB TO HOLD A ROLLER-SKATING YOUR FRIENDS AND TRY OUT

"The Roller-Skating Fundraiser with FLHS Key Club was an incredible experience as I was able to make so many new friends from a school, other than my own. I've never been rollerskating before so I was extremely nervous but there were so many helpful Key Clubbers who held my hand and assisted me around the rink. The view at the arena was breathtaking and I hope to have more fundraisers like this again!"

Irene Chen (Class of 2023) "I liked the fact that we could see a variety of different flowers being carried by every participant, which made it feel more like we were all uniting against one cause. I participated mostly because my friends were going, but ended up being glad that I went. I would do it again just because I think it’s important to continue to raise awareness and gain support for those who are suffering and living through this disease."

NYSOM HALLO

Volunteers Helped NYSoM manag Hous, Halloween crafts, gam Halloween village. The Haunte involved costumed characters, w activities included pumpkin paint “It was very fun to go and see everything kind of go back to normal but obviously we had to limit amounts of people from going in one room at a time. I was assigned the playroom first; it was just very fulfilling and wholesome just being able to see kids playing with one another and just having fun even though there’s a pandemic and also just playing with the blocks with them. I also got switched to the horror room.

That was also very fun just being able to scare people and just hanging out with the other scare actors when there was no one in there.”

ANNA HUANG '25 “The NYSoM Halloween Havoc was really fun, it was well organized and we got free food and candy. It was so fun making slime and doing the games and stuff too. We just goofed around and hung out with friends and I liked that there were other people from different schools so I could socialize with them and see different perspectives."
