Letter From Your Editor
Dear Key Club Members,
I hope everyone’s first month of school was successful! Let the
freshman know about Key Club. Who we are, what we do, what
they can get from joining, show them the beauty of Key Club and
most importantly, have them know we do not make keys. The more
members, the bigger our K-Family! Please have them join!
As a reminder, first general meeting is Wednesday, September
28th, 2011 in the auditorium after 9th. There, we will be discussing
what Key Club is and what we strive for. Also, we will be collecting
your Membership Information Sheets with your dues! Please spread
the word and attend!
Even if there hasn’t been any events, still write me articles!
What are your thoughts and feelings about Key Club? Send them to
me! Please be appropriate and positive.
In addition, solve my fun and games! They are an easy way to
gain points if you don’t want to write articles. Even better, you can
get double the points if you complete both! Send your articles and
solved puzzles to [email protected].

SEPTEMBER St. Rafael’s Festival September— September 17,2011
The St. Raphael's Festival was a great experience. The face
painting, the dunk tank, and the Greek cuisine. The festival had
so much going on. We helped out with the event; some of us
ran the face painting station and others helped with the
cleanup. I personally helped with the wrap up at the evening
shift. Even though it was a lot of work moving tables, bringing
appliances in and out of the building, I had a lot of fun. The
organizers really appreciated
our help and this made me
realize what Key Club is all
about—community!

INTERNATIONAL NEWS GET READY FOR OCTOBER!
UNICEF
UNICEF, the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to
children, works with other United Nations bodies, governments and non-
governmental organizations to assist in children’s needs through community-
based services in primary health care, basic education, and safe water and
sanitation in more than 150 developing countries.
UNICEF shares the Kiwanis family’s global commitment to children and has pro-
vided its extensive resources and leadership to assist in the Worldwide Service
Project to virtually eliminate Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) from the globe.
How Key Club helps
Since 1994, Key Club has been Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF. Created, inspired
and powered by kids since 1950, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has empowered
generations to make lasting change in their global community. Over the years,
Key Clubbers have raised nearly $5 million for iodine deficiency programs
worldwide, HIV and AIDS programs in Kenya and Swaziland and most recently
Operation Uruguay: Protecting the Rights of Children. This year, all funds raised
by Key Clubs through Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF will go to The Eliminate
Project: Kiwanis eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus.

KEY Clubber of the Month
THIS
COULD
BE
YOU!
What does it mean to be “Key Clubber of the Month”?
We give out this award each month to a particular key club member
who has made the most impact on our club for that month. In order to
get this award you have to attend events, and participate. We want to
see someone who is actively helping and contributing to their
community. But we also want to see someone who is representing
Brooklyn Tech, and most importantly, key club. This member should be
the role model for other members.
Caring — our way of life
K—FAMILY
Key Club is not about getting points and getting credit.
You get a family out of Key Club. The people who surround
you at events, at meetings, they’re your K– Family.
Join us! Together, we can make a difference.
