Fundraising for The Eliminate Project:The Eliminate Project serves as the district project and is at the top of the
international Key Clubs to-do list. One baby dies every nine minutes from maternal/neonatal tetanus (MNT).
However, The Eliminate Project has eradicated MNT from 20 countries since 2000. Three does of a $0.60 vaccine
save a mother and all of her future children. Our goal is to stop MNT by 2015. To learn more about The Eliminat
Project, visitwww.sites.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis/en/theELIMINATEproject/home.aspx.
Volunteering at K2 Academy Parents Night Out: Parents Night Out is one of the most popular Key Club events.
Occurring at a local gymnastics facility, it is a chance for mentally challenged children to have a good time with ou
volunteers while also giving their busy parents some time to themselves.
Participating at a multitude of events at local venues: Cy-Falls volunteers also participate in a variety of unique even
such as craft bazaars, school carnivals, festivals, marathons, and more.
Attending District Convention (DCON): DCON is the final summation of Key Club at the end of each year. Key
Club members travel to Dallas to participate in a conference with workshops, elections, charity events, contests, an
dances. Further, each club is awarded certain distinctions based on their annual achievements. Our school was
recognized as the 5th place club in the entire Texas-Oklahoma district last year and is on its way to 1st place this year

Fishing forFreshmenWith the advent of the 2012 school year right before our eyes,
Cypress Falls Key Club has been busily occupied with the most
important mission of the yearrecruiting members. For every c
their main source of new volunteers is the influx of freshmen w
enter the schools double doors each fall semester. Though man
current members reach out to friends and family to join the
organization, not all prospective Key Clubbers are lucky enough
be in contact with someone who is already involved in the prog
Because of this, the Cypress Falls Key Club goes fishing for new
members every year at Fish Camp. Many of the incoming fresh
are anxious yet inquisitive about whats to come during the nex
years of their lives. As upperclassmen who have been there our
its our job to make them feel welcome in our school. Further,
committed Key Club members, its even more important for us
treat others with the respect, integrity, and care that are charactof the organization were a part of.
At Fish Camp, Key Club members enthusiastically greet and
befriend the incoming ninth graders to ease some of the worrie
feel about entering a new phase in their lives. A nervous freshm
be last year, I remember hearing the energetic chanting of Join
Club! and wondering why anyone would choose to join a club
key-makers. My curiosity got the best of me, nonetheless, and I
decided to take a closer look. The President of the organization
enthusiastically telling a small group of students about their
numerous volunteer events. As I watched her speak, I determinthat I wanted to find something I could be equally passionate a
and signed my name to become a new member. Meeting an am
person or discovering a new niche can make a big, scary school
much nicer placer to be.
The recruitment of new members at Fish Camp helps incomin
freshmen meet new friends, build their character, and recogniz
passion for volunteering while also having a lasting impact on t
community. The more volunteers, the more of an impact. Wha
greater is that in four years, these freshmen will be leading theCypress Falls Key Club. In four years, theyll be crossing the sta
and leaving the halls of Cypress Falls to become adults. In four
the concepts they learn as a volunteer will be something they ca
apply to the real world. Key Club members who learn to do
whatever it takes to help those around them in high school w
carry those skills throughout life and help people wherever they
and thats what Key Club is all about.
