OMG!
How did Key Club get its name?
In 1925, California State Commissioner of Schools
Albert C. Olney and vocational education teacher
Frank C. Vincent worked to establish the first Key Club
at Sacramento High School in California. This club was
comprised of the key boys in the school, willing to
serve the school in any way possible and to create
better school spirit. Thus, the club was dubbed Key
Club.

opportunities. The fund also provides academic scholarships for
higher education. The Youth Opportunities Fund is established
through a portion of your Key Club International dues and

FRANKLIN’S JAPAN RELIEF FUNDRAISER
Our Japan Fundraiser consisted of selling shirts to raise
awareness of the natural disaster that occurred on March 11,
2011. We raised a little over two hundred dollars, and we are in
the process of donating the money to Mercy Corps so that
they can send the money over to Japan to aid the people
who are in need of help. It was a sudden project that we, the
Franklin Key Club officers, decided to take on.
It was all for a great cause, and we are very glad that we took
some action to contribute to Japan. Our prayers go out to
Japan and other countries that are suffering from natural
disasters and other tragic world events. Our prayers go out to

Funniest thing about her: I can be the most gullible person ever

Hey there!
This is a new year in the world of Key Club, and I’m
excited to see change take place! I’ve had the
opportunity to see how much our division has changed
over this short summer, and I’m expecting to see a
entirely new division at the end of my term. I said to
one of our Club Presidents that our division is like a
garden, because our clubs are like flowers.
With a garden, you can’t water it this week and
forget about it the next. You need to be consistent.
Taking out weeds, fixing flower pots, and landscaping
isn’t easy when you’re dealing with a garden that’s
been weak for a long while. Proactive leaders are what
our clubs need, and that’s what I’m working to instill. Key
Clubbers, you have the opportunity to give so much to the
world, never let your age limit you. You may not be able
. to change the entire world, but you can change lives.
