Welcome to the Riverside Key Club Sixth 2017-2018 Meeting 2/27/2018

“I pledge, on my honor, to uphold the Objects of Key Club International; to build my home, school and community; to serve my nation and God; and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions”

Expectations You are NOT in Key Club “just for hours” or “just to put it on your application” We need members who are going to invite others to serve with them at community events. We give back to our school and community, and we don’t “stop” at 40 hours – if this is your plan then please reconsider We need members who are going to team together to represent Riverside and Key Club by stepping up with one another to support activities of every kind Speak up, and follow through. Take initiative and be responsible for keeping up with communications. Most importantly HAVE FUN!
