Final plans are underway for the Second Capital District Key Leader Weekend being
held April 25-27th at Arlington Echo in Millersville, MD.
The menus have been selected, the camp visited by Capital
District Key Leader leadership, and registration well underway.
All we need are for the Kiwanis Clubs to be sure their sponsored
youth participants are getting registered and subsequent
invoices paid. Western
Albemarle High School Key Club has Busy Agenda
by Jim Hart
Key Club President Alexandra
Triana and Faculty Advisor Caroline Bertrand welcomed
Kiwanis Club liaison Jim Hart to a recent Key Club
meeting at Western Albemarle High School near Crozet.
Plans are already being made for Western's attendance
at this year's Capital District Key Club convention
to be held at the Richmond Marriott on the weekend
of April 18-20. Last year, the WAHS Club was recognized
as "The Best New Key Club" in the Capital District. This year, the club has 54 members and is active in
tutoring and mentoring the kids at Virginia L. Murray,
Brownsville, and Greer Elementary Schools. They also
volunteer in the soup kitchen at The Salvation Army
Homeless Shelter as well as in the Enrichment Program
for children in the shelter and the transitional housing
unit. The energetic board has formed committees to
raise funds for two District-wide projects: "Nothing but Nets", an anti-malaria campaign providing mosquito netting for families in Africa
and "Operation G.I.", collecting and donating gifts for service men and women returning from deployment
in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Kiwanis Club of Charlottesville
is very proud of the accomplishments of this wonderful
group of young leaders in service to the community.
