Articles
President Alonso Lopez: There are many perks to being a president in Key
Club. Some of the perks are that as a president
you are deeply more involved in Key Club affairs
and are able to have a greater influence on the
key club experience of the members.
As a president, many responsibilities fall on me,
but it makes me feel better knowing that doing
my job earns me the respect of my peers and al-
lows me to meet many new people. One of my
favorite perks is that I can have more power in
decisions and how the club can help out the
community.
I get to find and help in service events. I also
love being able to help the community more and
inspiring people to become a better person, or
inspiring them to want to be like me and help the
community. These are the best things about my
position as president.
Vice President A Jonathan Ta: I haven’t been 1st vice president for long now, but
so far, I’ve really enjoyed it, and the best part of
it is that I get the opportunity to help lead such a
great group of students who really care about
serving our club and our community. I have al-
ways taken pride in knowing that the members of
our club really work hard to help others and al-
ways have fun doing it, but now I am able to play
an even larger part in ensuring that that aspect
of our club never changes.
I still remember looking at and being inspired by
all of the exciting leaders of Valley Key Club from
my freshman year, and now I have the honor of
inspiring a new generation of Key Clubbers. Being
able to have a role in improving and leading such
a wonderful club to better serve others and have
an amazing time is my favorite part of being our
1st vice president.
Secretary Lindy Do: It has been a couple months into my term and I have grown accustomed to the responsibilities of my position. Being a secretary requires being or-ganized and having time-management. Being a secretary is more than just completing an MRF every month, taking meeting minutes, and re-cording hours. However, the best part about be-ing a secretary is being able to communicate with members and in turn help them become more ac-tive in Key Club events.
Having a board position gives me a sense of lead-ership and using it, I can help out members and direct them to wherever they need to be. In addi-tion, filling out MRFs and keeping track of hours isn't just another task for me, but it is something that I take time and effort into completing. When it isn't being procrastinated, doing MRFs isn't ac-tually all that bad. It makes me feel as if my job is vital to keeping our Key Club running. Being a secretary is a tough job to do, but taking the challenge of this position will help me grow as a leader and as a person in general.
Treasurer Joe Aquino: The best thing about my job as treasurer of Val-
ley High School’s Key Club is that I get to engage
in conversation with everyone. As the treasurer,
members turn in their fees and donations to me.
Talking to the members individually allows me to
get to know each member better, and it helps me
understand who they are and what they like. I
believe that if I get to know every member, there
will be a stronger sense of unity in the club.
I have to say though; the second best thing
about my job is that I get to be on the board with
my friends. I feel that we have all worked so hard
in Key Club that we managed to reach our posi-
tions as board members. If known most of the
board since my freshman year and I have to say
we’ve come a long way. Being in Key Club with
my friends and my fellow members makes it all
the better.

Service
Service is what you make out of it.
Sometimes, as high school teens, we easily
get bored at prolonged events. We might
start getting off task, or start talking to a
friend in the middle of a presentation. We
might even feel a bit tired or annoyed by
even being there.
We must remember, that as Key Clubbers,
service is what we make out of it. Key
clubbers are the leaders who create positive
and energetic environments at most service
events. That’s what we’re known for.
Bored at a service event? Look for ways
that you can create a more entertaining,
and positive environment, all within the
respective boundaries of the event guide-
lines of course.
Service is what we make out of it, so let’s
make it positive and great.
