The Club was much more active this year, with many successful projects and activities. Throughout most of the year our Key Club- bers went to the Buena Vista Convalescent Home. They talked with and gave wheelchair walks to many of the senior citizens. During the winter holidays, the Key Club wrapped gifts to earn money for the Anaheim Shelter for the Homeless. They also went to Pasade- na and became petal pushers to help decorate the floats of the Rose Parade. Key Club helped the Academic Booster Club with World Celebrations, by setting- up and recruiting cultural acts, which contri- buted to the success of International Night. The Mother and Daughter Tea and Student Recognition Night were also assisted by the Club. Teacher Administration Appreciation Week was jointly headed by the Key Club and Key Club International. During the week members sent gifts to the entire staff of Loara. Duy Nguyen stated, What Key Clubbers learn goes beyond high school. They learn to be charitable while becoming more effective leaders.
