SDHA Key Club Hosts Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City Club
by D.J. Landis

The Stephen Decatur High School Key Club, the high school level club of Kiwanis International, hosted it's sponsoring club, the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/Ocean City at the annual breakfast at SDHS.

Key Club members reported on their projects for the school year 2007 - 2008. Projects included a successful Annual Blood Drive, participation in the annual ALS Walk held each fall in Ocean Pines in support of finding a cure for Lou Gehrig's Disease, and working at the Kiwanis Club events such as the annual Italian Dinner and the three annual Kiwanis Pancake Breakfasts, to name a few.

Pictured are some of the Key Club officers and members who attended the breakfast at the high school along with SDHS principal, Mr. Taylor, SDHS Key Club advisor, Mrs. Hevel, and local Kiwanis Club immediate past president, Al Kastner. Members of the Worcester County School Board and two of the Worcester County Commissioners, namely, Judy Boggs and Linda Busick, also attended.

Al Kastner addressed the gathering on behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines/ Ocean City and thanked the Key Club of their unending support of the Kiwanis Club and service to the community.

School will soon be out for the summer, so Kastner seized the opportunity to solicit Key Club members participation in a new summer project whereby the Kiwanis Club will sell hotdogs and drinks at the weekly summer 2008 Thursday night free "Concerts in the Park" in Ocean Pines at Whitehorse Park starting June 19th. All proceeds go to the Kiwanis Scholarship Fund which annually provides scholarships for deserving senior students to further their educations after high school. So, this summer, you can not only listen to great entertainment, but also grab a tasty treat while helping to raise funds for scholarships.
