Message from Editor
Hello everyone! School has ended and summer has started.
May has been an amazing month, because there was a lot of
members at events, tons of spirit and new friendships being
made. I'm glad to capture these moments and publish it to
show what Independence Key Club is. Remember that Key
Club will still be continuing throughout the summer and there
will still be many opportunities for volunteering. Have fun and
be safe!

Hi everyone!
First off, I would like to congratulate all of you in completing
another year of school! We did it! School may be over and
you might not be able to see your friends as much, but no
worries, because you can still volunteer with Key Club and
bond with your friends as well as making new ones all while
helping out our community!
Remember to keep smiling and making the most out of
everything while you still can. It's summer and you should re-
ally take advantage of what you are able to do :)
Have a good one everyone and keep signing up for our
events!
Khanh Dang
2015-2016 President

Know More About Key Club
Did you know?
ELIMINATE WEEK
Key Club has an annual ELIMINATE WEEK internationally, celebrated in
many schools that belong to many divisions in different districts. In other
words, Key Club in other high schools celebrate the ELIMINATE WEEK
too.
Since there are many different high schools, there are many different
ways that a Key Club could host an ELIMINATE WEEK. The main purpose
of this week is to spread awareness about what The Eliminate Project is
about, fundraise for the cause, and save mothers and babies.
Remember that 2015 is the last year that The Eliminate Project will be
active, which means that this year must’ve been the last ELIMINATE
WEEK for Key Club internationally. I hope you enjoyed it while it lasts!

Know More About Key Club Miscellaneous
Officer Training Conference is an annual event for new Club Officers to
gain necessary leadership skills and training for the term. There are
various workshops provided to cover all necessary skills to be a
successful leader.
However, OTC isn’t ONLY for Club Officers, but any general members
can come too. You will learn about Key Club's Major Emphasis and
preferred charities.
This event is also hosted by many high schools international-wide.
Depending on what Region your Key Club is in, that club will be invited
to meet at a designated place along with other Key Clubs. For Inde-
pendence High School, we are designated to the Manresa Beach in
Santa Cruz. This is a great way to learn new things, gain experience,
and make a friend while you’re there.
