March 25, 2019: Sixth Chapter Meeting RVHS Key Club March 25, 2019: Sixth Chapter Meeting T-Shirts are coming soon!

Key Club Pledge “ I pledge, on my honor, to uphold the Objects of Key Club International; to build my home school and community; to serve my nation and God; and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions.”

Requirements 40 hours of service per year (10 hours per quarter) *SEMESTER LOGS Participation in Key Club sponsored Activities & inspire others to serve Please let us know if you have ANY ideas for club sponsored activities. We want you to be active members in the club and we are always open to suggestions, just ask! If you are short on hours, don’t hesitate to come see Mrs. P or any of the officers! We’re here to help!

Expectations You should be in Key Club for more than just “hours” or “ just to put it on your application” Key Club members should enjoy finding new opportunities and giving back to the community Don’t “stop” at 40 hours We need members who are going to invite others to help us give back and serve the community We are a team that represents Riverside AND Key Club International Speak up, follow through, take initiative, and be responsible for communicating Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Mobile Hope Drive The mobile hope drive we had in February was successful! We also packed the bags successfully (Thank You to everyone who came to help!!) Bags will be delivered this Friday!!

Science Night STEAM night hosted by SNHS was another HUGE success this year! Thank you to ALL volunteers and/or donations from our members, we appreciate you so much! Some pictures from the event:

Have you checked out opportunities on the website?

T-shirts! T-shirts are on their way…we will notify you as soon as they arrive! Want one? We ordered a few extra, pick up an order form on the way out!

Useful Information At this time of the year, the amount of opportunities within the community tend to be harder to find Service is not limited to outside the school, you can do service within the school too! Examples: help a teacher during your study hall, in the mornings, on a teacher work day, etc. You can also do service within your own home/neighborhood! Examples: helping out a neighbor, donating your time to help others, reading to children at the library, etc. Remember: If you are passionate about something, don’t hesitate to talk to any of the officers or Mrs. P about finding short/long term opportunities. Examples: interning at a clinic, special Olympics coach, etc. If Advisories begin to ask for or assign leaders you can earn hours this way as well Imagine with this cold weather how many people in the community may be struggling to have warm clothes, food, etc. making a difference can come in the smallest packages.
