Cumberland Valley

This year, Key Club hopes to achieve a lot more than previous years. In order for us to meet this goal, we have come up with various ideas that we believe will change the way Key Club runs forever. First, every person on our board of fifteen is required to create their own committee in which they support a certain charity, topic, or community service. Our committees range from ending world hunger to volunteering at retirement homes. For example, my committee focuses on raising funds for various organizations helping out in Africa. So far this year, my committee has sold t-shirts that say “Peace Love Water” on them in order to raise money for The Water Project, an organization that builds wells in Africa. We have also collected used soccer cleats for poor children living Africa. These committees will provide our members with many opportunities to receive hours throughout the year allowing our club to continue to be active. On top of that, our club is becoming more technologically advanced this year due to our Facebook page, online sign-in sheets, and our school webpage. These advancements have made activities such as recording hours and advertising events much easier for our board members. In addition, it has made it easier for our members to contact us if necessary. Every Wednesday, our board gathers together and discusses various events based on holidays that are approaching. We are currently working on raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by selling food and t-shirts that say “Cancer Bites” after school. Furthermore, we have continued to have meetings with our club members. In the month of December, Cumberland Valley Key Club has particpated in many events that have affected our community in a positive way.  At least once every week, couple of our members have played bingo and ramp bowling with senior citizens at Country Meadows Retirement Home. Along with those events, our board has come up with many ways for the students in our school to make a difference.
