President’s Corner: Juliana Zhang

Hey guys! I'm so proud of our club raising over $1,000 for

the ELIMINATE Project. You guys are the best! Let's keep

up this spirit of service within our club and community.

Get involved with service projects like the upcoming Fall

for Garland and Walnut Glen Festival. Make sure to join

a committee as well! You'll be able to truly get involved

and make Key Club your own. Have a wonderful

month!

- Juliana Zhang

Vice President’s Corner: Hannah Oden - Brunson

Hey GHS Key Club! I’m so proud of you guys for already

achieving our goal of raising $1,000! Awesome job! This

year, we’re hopefully going to do more events like Ultimate

Frisbee to raise money for ELIMINATE and our club so get

ready for a year of intense planning and fun! If you guys

have any questions of suggestions, don’t hesitate to

contact one of the officers or representatives! Have a

great month everyone!

-Hannah Oden Brunson

Owl Conference Owl Conference is Garland High School’s leadership conference that encourages students to be

active in areas of leadership, spirit and most importantly service!

Never doubt that a small group of

thoughtful, concerned citizens can

change world. Indeed it is the only

thing that ever has.

—Margaret Mead

No pessimist ever discovered the

stars, or sailed to an uncharted

land, or opened a new doorway

for the human spirit.

– Helen Keller

“The best way to find yourself is to lose

yourself in the service of others.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

Owl Conference

Garland high School’s notorious Owl Conference was a huge

success! The Conference began with an opening message

about the importance of establishing leadership in our school.

Afterwards, everyone split up into groups, starting in three

different rooms. Each room had a different theme: Leadership,

Spirit and, of course Service! Officers aided in running all three

rooms and everyone definitely enjoyed themselves! Although

the service room resonated with all of our key clubbers the

most, learning about the importance of sprit is something that

not everyone always takes into account. It’s important to keep

the spirits of not only our organization, but our high school

elevated as well, so we can achieve greatness together!

Leadership is also an important trait to have in order to have a

successful organization.

Our key clubbers also enjoyed playing games like

leader’s ship and races to see which group could complete a

task the fastest. These games were meant to highlight the

importance of teamwork and collaborative thinking. Needless

to say, everyone benefited from this experience!

At the end of the day, we wrapped up with making owls

with encouraging messages for the teachers going back to

school. The owls ended up looking so adorable! Garland High

School definitely knows how to decorate a cute owl!

Key Clubbers have aided in an organization that helps women in situations of abuse or neglect. Go to

http://www.genesisshelter.org if you would like to volunteer or donate more items.

Genesis Women’s Shelter

The Genesis Women’s Shelter

promotes the shelter, safety and

strength of women who have been

victims of abuse or need counseling.

It’s open 24/7 for women who need

it. A couple of seniors made their

Creative, Action and Service Project to

help the shelter by donating supplies,

so of course Key Clubbers came to

their aid by helping out! It’s always

important to remember that treating

someone with care is the best thing

you can do for a person.

We aided the Genesis Women’ Shelter by donating supplies like

shampoo and other toiletries that always needed. You can always

donate supplies to them by going onto their website because they are

always in need of something, or donating gently used clothing to

their store on Saturday.

GHS Key Club helped to sell snow cones for the

Farmer’s market and that was also a success. We ended

up being a huge help and sold many snow cones for an

all around great day! The snow cones were greatly needed

after one of the last hot days of summer!

The Ultimate Fundraiser

Our last fundraiser to complete our goal of raising $1,000 was the Ultimate Frisbee Tournament held on

September 13, 2013. Let’s just say, it was pretty ultimate.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Because of you all, we were able to raise our

last $400 for The ELIMINATE Project!

The Ultimate Fundraiser 1

It’s no secret just how passionate I am

about the ELIMINATE Project. I’ve

always enjoyed what it stands for, so for

us to achieve our goal in reaching $1,000

raised for the ELIMINATE Project

means so much to me and I hope it

means a lot to you all as well! This

tournament really was a success! We

ended up have 10 teams compete for the

bragging rights of the 2013 Ultimate

Frisbee Tournament and one team surely

did stand out on top! After taking a

whole month to plan everything and

spread the word out, thankfully, enough

people were convinced to participate! At

first, the idea of putting on a whole

tournament for a service project was

pretty scary, but in the end, I’d say

everything worked out! Not only did

everyone enjoy battling each other to see

2

which team came out on top, we were able

to spread awareness about The

ELIMINATE Project and what Key Club

stands for. None of this could’ve been

possible without the help of our fellow Key

Clubbers spreading the word, so special

thanks to you guys! You ‘ve really proved

that a small group of individuals in fact can

make a difference by raising money to save

approximately 555 mothers and babies.

Now that we’ve crossed that goal off of our

list, what’s next for the Garland High

School Key Club?

Garland High School Key Club finally got

to meet up with other fellow members of

Region 8 in a picnic at Bethany Park in

Allen! Meeting other regional members

and LTGs was such a wonderful

experience!

Fellow officers were able to

communicate different ideas with each

other and converse on the methods of

completing their duties efficiently.

Personally, it was a lot of fun learning

what other editors do with their

newsletters!

Of course, sharing a meal together

help to unite everyone in Division 2C.

Who doesn’t bond over a meal-

especially a free one? Our fellow

LTGs did a magnificent job

coordinating the whole event. Thanks

organizing such an awesome meet –

up and providing good food!
