I am very sorry for having the website updated much earlier than this. It was really nice to see all of your wonderful faces at the Key club meeting.
At the last meeting, we were introduced our club and what we do in the club. We introduced what our club stands for and what we do, exactly. I do hope that you were able to meet most of the board members and our wonderful Kiwanis adviser, Nikki at the meeting. Remember that if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask any of the board members, Nikki, or Mr. Bauer!
