Message from your vice president
Hi, Key Clubbers! As we approach the month of April, the 2012-2013 term is coming to an end and I will eventually have to retire. Thank you for allowing me to serve you, as it has been such a pleasure to meet the most dedicated and passionate people I know. Our awards that we won at DCON truly represent our successful year, and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of Key Club this year! I am keeping this short so please support me at my last meeting on APRIL 23, where I will be giving my farewell speech! Much love. Jessica Yu 2012-2013 President
Hey Key Clubbers!! Can you believe it is already April?? School is almost over!!! Many amazing things happened during the month of March, we had our annual District Convention held in Anaheim, California. It is such an amazing experience that I hope all of you get the chance to attend. It is an unforgettable experience that lets you meet so many people, and you get to experience Key Club at its finest. The spirit, the fun, the service. That is District Convention. I am officially retired as your Vice President and it was an honor to be able to serve all of you during the term of 2012-2013. I am positive that the new officers, Vivian Wong, Kimberly Cao, Stephanie Tran, Melody Valdez, and Alayna Nguyen will do absolutely amazing, and i wish them luck next year. Seniors: Congratulations! You are less than two months away from graduation! I hope you take what you have learned from Key Club and high school and continue to serve your community in college! Circle K is always an option! Circle K also has an amazing District Convention so don't miss out on that either! Juniors: Are you ready to be thrown into the crazy world of college apps? I know i'm not! But we'll get through it together! Let's finish high school strong. Sophomores: Get ready to be thrown into one of the hardest years of high school. its going to be hard and not easy, but in the end it is worth it! I know all of you are ready for it! Freshman: You are just starting your high school life, you have a tough road in front of you, but never forget your friends and family are always there to support you! Good Luck! Have an amazing month of April!! Love, Your Vice President Rachel Tan
