Animal ShelterAnimal ShelterAnimal ShelterAnimal Shelter
One extremely hot Saturday
morning in July (or just another
average day by Texas summer
standards), a group of 5 Key
Clubbers met at a building in
the middle of nowhere. The
smell emanating inside the
building was terrible and the
high pitched noises arising from
the inner rooms were harsh to
the ears. The police man
standing there handed the
students only one thing- a rope,
with which to do their work.
This was the project at the local
animal shelter. Located off a
highway with nothing around
it, the place seemed uninviting.
But it was only once you went
in and saw the dogs and the
cats that you realized- here our
service was truly needed
By: Amritha Gourisankar
We were each given a
leash to walk the dogs
with. There were some
that wanted to use their
stored-up energy and some
that were shy and wanted
to stay in the safety of
their cage. We also had the
opportunity to take out
some of the kittens and pet
and play with them.
The animal shelter is one
service project that needs
volunteers because it
always has a lack of them.
This service project is one
that, although the message
“Come back soon” couldn’t
be said, the animals’
messages were clear as
they were lead back to
their cages reluctantly.

I volunteered at the Chuck Silcox Animal Shelter. At the shelter, Key Club worked to make sure the animals had exercise and interaction with humans. We played with cats and kittens and walked the dogs outside. Key Club did this event because helping out at the

animal shelter is a way to really see your service in action. Unlike other activities such as Braille Bibles or working at a run, our work at the shelter was immediately appreciated by the animals. I learned that it is really important to take time to volunteer because it’s rewarding and there are so many groups and organizations that need help.

Going Back To SchoolGoing Back To SchoolGoing Back To SchoolGoing Back To School By: Taeho Kim Summer is ending extremely So, as the summer ends and done several service projects try to do as well in the year and a couple of socials as we did in the summer! throughout the summer. The service projects include the weekly Braille Bibles, the animal shelter, the Back to School Shopping event, and several other service projects.At the beginning of the summer, we had an ice cream social, had a board meeting, and even got to have a meeting with the lieutenant governor as well as meet with
other clubs throughout the district. As our relaxing but hot summer ends, there are many more service projects available for the new year such as Haunted House, Turkey Trot, and of course, the Parade of Lights.

Turkey TrotTurkey TrotTurkey TrotTurkey Trot Turkey Trot 2011 was one of the coolest service projects that I have ever attended. Our Key Club was responsible for keeping the runners hydrated and happy. We ran a water station that runners would often pass. It was a great way to get to know people in my community and other members that also participated in the project. I hope to volunteer at Turkey Trot 2012 this upcoming fall.
