Key Club
End of the Year
The word obligation is defined as “a binding promise, a sense of duty; something that is done for set reasons”. An obligation is something we have promised ourselves, and sometimes others, that we would do, and they cannot be forgotten. As Key Club representatives, we have a duty to keep our club running smooth throughout the year and finish out the year strong. It is important to fulfill end-of-the-year obligations for Key Club because others are dependent on us. We are a team and we all depend on each other in order to have a successful club. Officer elections being held mean that there is now a new staff, a new team, a new group of people that are collaborating for a common goal. In some cases, there are returning members and for some, this is a brand new experience. Making an effort to reach out and encourage each other is important. As the saying goes, “there is no I in team” meaning that we work together and each have to fulfill our part in order for our team’s success. Together, we can ensure next year’s prosperity. This summer will fly by and before we know it, our 2013-2014 school year will knock on the door and expect us to be prepared. In order to not be caught off guard, we should be ready for what the new year will hold out to us. An idea for next school year could be that we make the meetings more entertaining. Incoming freshmen will be curious as to what Key Club really is, and are more likely to join if they’re having fun while volunteering. Also, more social events should be planned such as a sport tournament or maybe even a night out playing laser-tag or meeting at a bowling alley. One last idea for the upcoming year could be to volunteer monthly at a local nursing home. We could have dedicated Key Clubbers, and incoming freshmen who wish to become more involved, meet with the elderly. Whether we want to pair just one or a few certain Key Club members to one “grandparent” or just everybody spend time with all of the
