The Venus key club is filled

with nothing but hard working

dedicated students. These

students are the reason we

came from the bottom of

nothing to being in the top five

out of all Texas and Oklahoma

key clubs, the dedication and

time each student put in has

helped and each student has

done their part to push the

club to bigger and better

things in our future. Each day

extraordinary members will

push the limits to help, no

matter what the situation is a

key club member is always

there to help do anything that

they can. I don’t want

it to seem like I’m

bragging but the

people in this club are

truly amazing and have

wonderful hearts. We

are the kids that don't

mind taking time out of

a Saturday to go and

clean or help, why is

that you ask? It’s

because we are the

Venus key club and

we’re ready to serve.

SERVICE THIS WAY!

Venus key club takes their time

serving at the No turning back food

pantry; we spend a lot of the time

making boxes to give out to those

who are less fortunate, but we do it

with a smile on our face and warm

feelings in our hearts. The Venus key

club members work on all kinds of

service projects to help not just the

community but the world.

For those of you who don’t know, my name

is Beth Humphus and I am the founder of No

Turning Back Ministry, and I run No Turning Back

Food Pantry and clothes closet. I would like to

take this time to thank everyone who comes every

Thursday to help at our food pantry. Without you

guys, our food pantry wouldn’t be what it is now.

With your help we are able to feed over 100

families every month. You guys diligently come

every Thursday and work for 3+ hours without

ever complaining, you make the boxes, carry

them out and you clean up at the end of the day.

You organize the clothes closet like nothing I have

ever seen before without complaint (which is a

testament in itself, because those clothes are

pretty bad sometimes). Since our opening almost

2 years ago, our numbers have increased

significantly and it is because of what you guys do

every week. I just wanted to let you know that

what you do does not go unnoticed and it is much

appreciated! Thank you so much for all of your

hard work and I am so proud of all of you and

what you do! See you Thursday!

District Convention!

District Convention was a blast!

You meet so many new people;

also have a little compotation

fun. We show up dress up and

learn about all new things we can

do to help our club grow, little by

little it really works! This year we

had two seniors go with us to

dcon, Haley Humphus and Travis

Ewton now I’m going to let them

tell you about their experience at

dcon.

It was really amazing attending DCON

for the first time. It was a ton of fun and

after hearing our club get recognized for

the great things we have done, I realized

how much work and effort we have all

put in. We should be very proud of eve-

rything we have accomplished in the four

years our club has been in existence.

-Haley Humphus

I had an amazing time hanging

out with my fellow Key Clubbers.

I bonded with pretty much

everyone that went. From “Boo

Boo Bunnies” to “# the struggle

is real” it was really outstand-

ing!

New Officers!

Each year the club will elect a new board of officers,

the candidates have to write a speech and present it

and be questioned by the club members. After it all

the Key Club Advisor tallies the votes and those who

win will be your new club board member! Down below

I had each board member write a little about

themselves so let’s get on with it shall we?

Club has made such an impact in my life and I am so glad that

I have the opportunity to give back to you all as your leader.

If it were not for Key Club I don't know who I would be! I will

forever cherish the memories that I have obtained through

this amazing organization. We have accomplished so much

this past service year and I would like to thank everybody who

has dedicated their time. Everything our club has accom-

plished would not be possible without your hours of service

and commitment. Our expectations are even higher this year

and I know we can accomplish our goals with your dedication!

Thank you and I look forward to serving you all.

New Officers!

Hey! I am Sabre Nester, and I am this year’s Venus Key Club

Secretary! It is truly an honor to be able to serve this club in such

a profound way; I undoubtedly will try my hardest to serve this

club as best as I can, and even better than that. In the short time

that I have been a Key Club member I have learned so much, and

would like to learn SO much more in my year as Secretary. I am

truly grateful for the tremendous effect Key Club has made in my

life, and I am looking forward to serving this year as Venus Key

Club Secretary.

Hello I’m Enriqueta and I am honored to be Vice President of this

extraordinary club. Key Club has changed our school perspective and also other school perspective as well. Venus High School Key

Club has improved over the years and impacted a bunch of young adults, students and mostly our community. Key Club has impacted me thought the year and has start to lead me on path of

success. I learn to use my time more wisely and carefully. I began to learn new things everyday about Key Club and I enjoy it.

Spending hours knowing that doing this one simple thing could mean or change others life. What we do for our communities today could save the world tomorrow. We all want to touch the

world and make a difference; it all starts here, right now with Key Club International. Key club to me is not just community service,

its responsibility, and leadership. I began to understand that more and more every day. We are the leaders of our generations and generations to come.

Hey I’m Jeremy Roca

Venus Key Club Treas-

urer, I believe that get-

ting 3rd at Dcon is a

really big step for our

club. I enjoy Key Club,

it is one of the most fun

things I have done all

year.
