had some extra dedicated members

who attended both! Relay for Life

was on Friday, April 26th at 7Pm at

the Nacogdoches Expo Center. Many

of our members have special ties to

Relay for Life so Nacogdoches Key

Club wanted to ensure we donated to

the event and the fight against cancer.

In the days leading up to the event, we

sold “Hope Floats” and ice cream

sundaes after school to the student

body and teachers of Nacogdoches

High School. It was such a huge

success that we ran out of ice cream

after only selling them for less than 20

minutes on Tuesday the 23rd . We

made sure we stocked up on ice cream

for Wednesday’s sales though! All of

the money raised through the selling

of Hope Floats will be donated to

Relay for Life!

MARCH OF DIMES March of Dimes is one of our all-time

favorite events; we did not even mind

waking up early on a Saturday for this

What’s Happening in the Lair?

GAME NIGHT A week ago, our Key Club sponsored

a Game Night open to all of the clubs

at Nacogdoches High School. It was a

tremendous success! We had tons of

food, and I think it is safe to say that

we all had a great time. We had a

Twister tournament, Just Dance

tournament, “Birdy on a Perch”

tournament, and many board games

available for members for play.

Everyone who attended paid an

entrance fee of $3. All of the money

we raised at this event will go to the

March of Dimes and the fight for

babies. Due to the success of this

event, I’m sure we will have on next

year as well!

RELAY FOR LIFE This time of year is always a busy

time for everyone, especially Key

Club. In the same weekend, we had

members at Relay for Life until

around midnight and then members at

March of Dimes the next day! We also

one! The walk was at Pecan Park on

E. Starr right next to the intramural

fields at SFA. This year was

especially special because the March

of Dimes organization is celebrating

75 years! We had a great turn out! For

two weeks, Nacogdoches Key Club

has been doing some serious

fundraising! During lunches, we sold

March of Dimes cutouts and

wristbands for a dollar. We offered the

students free tardy passes in exchange

for their donation, which was a huge

success! Also, we offered “Jeans for

Teachers” to the teachers at

Nacogdoches High School in

exchange for a donation of which will

benefit March of Dimes. The

accumulation of all the funds raised

for March of Dimes from our various

events totaled well over $1000!

BANQUET As our Key Club school year comes to

an end, it is time for our annual Key

Club banquet and installation of our

new officers! We are so very proud of

all we have accomplished the past

year and cannot wait to see what the

2013-2014 school year has in store for

the Nacogdoches Key Club. At the

banquet, we would like to take the

opportunity to recognize some of our

outstanding individual members who

have made it their mission to serve

their home, school, and community.

Even though all of our members are

very dedicated, there are a few that

stood out. The Outstanding Freshman

Key Club member was Jacob Johnson,

the Outstanding Sophomore Key Club

member was Drake Adkins, the

Outstanding Junior Key Club member

was Maggie King, and the

Outstanding Senior Key Club member

was Tristan Emborgo. In addition to

our outstanding members, we honored

the seniors who achieved in attaining

over 80 hours during the 2012-2013

school year. The senior who received

their cords were Paul Theiss, Cori

Redfield, and Tristan Emborgo. I

would like to take this opportunity to

especially recognize our fabulous club

sponsor, Nancy White, who dedicates

a tremendous amount of time and

effort to our club. We wouldn’t be

able to do everything we do without

her! Thanks for an awesome Key Club

year and I cannot wait until next year!

BE BOLD I hope all of you have a fantastic week

and, as always, BE BOLD.
