Applications for the position of freshman board member are due at the next Key Club meeting on Oct. 8. The club will volunteer at the library as well as at a garage sale and fall festival at the Monon Center.
Co-sponsor Katie Gray said the elections for freshman board member will be held on Oct. 29.
“There are well over a hundred freshmen in Key Club this year,” Gray said, “so it would be good to have a presence in the Freshman Center, to answer questions, clarify doubts, and let people know about Key Club.”
Gray said at least 10 to 15 students should volunteer at the Carmel Clay Public Library to shelve books on Oct. 5 and 6 from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
On Oct. 10, club members can participate in a community garage sale at the Monon Center, according to Gray, which lasts from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Everyone in the community can bring in something to sell, she said, and Key Club members will help sell the items.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 24, the Monon Center will partner with Key Club once more for the Pumpkin Fest. The festival, full of fun fall activities for kids and families, needs many volunteers, Gray said.
According to club secretary and junior Evan Chang, Key Club members should record their hours as soon as possible upon completing a service.
“Last year we were a giant mess; nobody knew what they were doing or what hours they had completed or signed up for,” Chang said. “This year, we keep track of the hours in files of paperwork and online, and all members need to do is get (the hours) in.”
