Key club benefits charitable groups Dare to influence” was Key Club’s theme at the state convention, which was held in Downingtown. They received first place for achievement reports and a second place for their scrapbook. Because of their great achievements, they became the number one Key Club in the state. Allen s and Parkland's Key Clubs had their own competition to see who was 1 club between the two. An Almost Anything goes contest was held one Sunday afternoon. As expected, Parkland proved themselves the better club. Key Club is noted nationally for its concern with bettering the community. PHS’s club is no different. Some of the charities they are involved with are the Valley Youth House and the March of Dimes. Their contributions are not only limited to well known organizations. In December they raised money in order to provide a local poor family with a tree for Christmas. The money for these activities was raised by various fundraisers. It was frustrating and different, but lots of fun. The Pancake Breakfast was a fundraiser tried for the first time this year. Many of the clubbers were working hard in the kitchen as early as 8:00. Some of the people made batter some cooked them, and others served them, but everyone got involved in one way or another, said President Karen Johnston, senior. Another event that key club sponsored was the annual Donkey Basketball game. Mr. LeVan said, It was something different and a little frustrating, but it was a lot of fun.” Key Club members must obtain a certain number of points a month to stay in the club. Board members decide on the amount. Key clubers listen carefully to (pres.) Karen Johnston as she reads the list of coming events.
