Key Club Corner

Key Club officers have been busy calculating service hours from last semester, and nasty grams have been sent out to those members who did not earn enough hours to remain in Key Club. Those members who did not make the cut are encouraged to rejoin in the fall. Members who are short 1-4 hours have until Tuesday to purchase their missing hours so that they can remain in the club.

Our first all-member meeting for 2012 will be this Thursday, Jan. 26 at 7:15a.m. in the gym. This meeting is mandatory.  Current members will be reminded that they are required to complete 20 total service hours for this semester in order to maintain their Key Club membership. We are also stressing and enforcing the 5 hours with the club from this point onward.

The annual Key Club Convention is March 16-18 in Chattanooga. All Key Club members are encouraged to attend and members will be receiving information about convention in the mandatory meeting on Thursday. Current service opportunities include working the concession stand and the spirit cart during home basketball games.

We are collecting several different items for various organizations at this time. Members are encouraged to bring in tubes of toothpaste from now until January 29 to benefit medical missions in Haiti. Art supplies will continue to be collected for hospitalized children at Gateway Hospital. Also, we have decided to continue with our F.U.E.L. food drive. Our club is collecting the following items to donate to local high school food pantries: canned tuna, canned chicken, dry chicken noodle soup, tuna helper, jars of peanut butter, fruit cups, pudding cups, fruit juice, granola bars, and dry instant meals (just add water).
