Kiwanis Establishes
Key Club
Frank Young discusses with senior citizens
The Kiwanis Key Club is basically a high
school service organization modeled after
Kiwanis, a service oriented group of business and
professional men who sponsor and advise it in
its various activities and projects. Key Clubbing
is the largest high school service organization
in North America and has two official publications,
THE KEYNOTE and THE EMPIRE KEY.
While the Club's emphasis is on service, either
fund raising or volunteer projects, it also tries
to involve itself actively in its high school and
surrounding communities. In undertaking its
projects, the Key Club's aim is the development
of initiative, leadership ability, and good citizen
practices while making the whole process fun,
bringing the personal satisfaction of helping
others to all its members.
In the 1975-76 year, the Key Club has grown
to over forty active members at the Prep, only
two and a half years after it started. Headed by
Marko Remec, President, Steve Falci and Peter
Arabia, Vice-Presidents, Jim Curtin, Secretary,
Dan Morrison, Treasurer, and Fr. Giblon, Moderator,
the Key Club has accomplished much in
the area of community service.
The Club has raised more than seven hundred
dollars for its year project, the Rosary Hill Hospital.
By sponsoring movies and basketball contests,
the Club raised enough money to send its
representatives to the District Convention in
April. The Club also hosted a Christmas dinner
for senior citizens in December.
The outlook is optimistic. The Key Club has
found a place in the Prep and the Prep has
found a place for it.
