Greetings From Trang WHAT'S UP SHARKS? Key Clubbers,
HAVE YOU PAID YOUR DUES YET? This is the most important question ever! Your club must have fifteen members by December 1st! If not, it will become deactivated or suspended. So it is important that you are motivating your club members to pay their dues and become official Key Club members. It is finally time to reflect. How is your club doing? Do you have a surplus of members, and need ways of keeping them involved and interested? Do you have no members at all and need help motivating new members to join? Would you like new, fresh ways to keep your club fun, fresh, and exciting? PLEASE SAY YES, because I am here and ready to help! So many exciting volunteering opportunities are everywhere, and it's time get your members involved. Ask them, what do they want to do? Create committees to boost their responsibilities, delegate well, and most importantly, maintain a healthy relationship with your Kiwanis, and me! Feel free to text me or Facebook me updates about your club! If you have a problem, I am here for you! USE ME!

ATHENA (Tina) SOK! I'm Athenaaa. Or Tina. People calll me Tuna. Aha. Whatever seems fit. I'm VP of Lincoln Key Club. It's a big passion of mine. Other than that, I have a huge love for music and art. I love my pet dog, Meimei. Uh, I like to eat, and cook. Or attempt to cook. Lol. Um. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. Lasagna is my favorite food. I'm just. Silly. Idk what else to say aha. xD I joined Key Club because I wanted to branch out my freshman year . I wanted to try something new and Key Club was the greatest choice I made. It changed my outlook on community service, that it isn't just labor and work, it's more about caring, leading, and loving.
The Many Faces Of Tina
BEAUTIFULNESS.
