Murdy Moon Festival
GT, La Quinta, D04N
On September 9th, Key Clubbers got to participate in Murdy Elementary’s Mid Autumn Festival! It was a fun-filled evening with lots of students and parents! We got to help with various jobs and stations such as food, lanterns, games, and more. My friends and I were in charge of food where we served pizza and helped run the food booth. We were able to help parents and children by selling different refreshments to celebrate the festival. After, there was a performance with students and also a Lion Dance. The volunteers and staff then helped gather up everyone for a lantern walk, where students got to walk around the school campus with their lanterns that they made and also purchased to finally close off the night. Overall, the event was very lively and also fun! We got to help out with a great community and also have fun with the other volunteers.
Roseville Movie Night
BL, Roseville Key Club, D44W
In the month of September, Roseville Key Club hosted a Key Club 101 and movie night social event in which new members were given the opportunity to meet their board, learn more about Key Club, watch a movie with their friends, and participate in a small service event by coloring in Color a Smile pages to be sent to local hospitals and seniors. About forty members participated in the event, and we were able to collect over a hundred Color a Smile papers. Pizza, candy, and soda were also sold to raise funds for the Pediatric Trauma Program, and we were able to raise approximately $60 total. Many members came with their friends and were able to socialize and meet their fellow Key Clubbers as well. Members seemed to show a lot of interest in the prospect of another movie night in the future, so this event was a great success! We are planning another movie night for the month of October due to the event’s popularity among our members!

Club Rush
JF, O’Farrell Charter, D11
October was the official start for Key Club this year! The O’Farrell Charter school hosted our school’s annual Club Rush, and this year it was on September 13th, 2022. At our booth, we used posters, candies, and even a bubble blower to draw the attention of all. The event was a huge success, and we had around 100 sign ups, from students of all grades! Later on in the month, the O’Farrell Key Club hosted its first official club meeting of the 2022-23 school year. This meeting was held on September 23, 2022, in our club advisor’s room. A slide show was presented to welcome new members and returners from last year’s meetings alike. The presentation introduced these members to not only the ‘22-’23 officer board, but also upcoming service projects, the basics of what Key Club is, and how to officially join the club. With the room being filled with around 42 eager students (the majority of them being underclassmen), our president, Jocelyn Quiroz told the board, “Good work guys! I consider this meeting a success!”
St. Adelaide’s Carnival
KS, D36E
It was a bright and beautiful day. The St. Adelaide’s Carnival was one of the service events that Key Clubbers had the option of attending. They were given a large selection of times in which they would be able to earn hours. For the day of October 8th they would have been able to earn up to nine hours. Members would be helping with the setting up of the game booths and after the carnival starts, they would be helping by running the booths. There were about 15 members that had arrived throughout the day to help with the smooth operation of the Carnival. Members were able to enjoy their day and earn hours all at the same time.
