First Fundraiser: Open House Bake Sale

For Key Club's first fundraiser, we decided to exploit hungry confused parents by selling them fattening foods for low low prices! We sold every single baked good, making over $100! Niko will also be running a canned soda business out of her locker, selling them to underclassmen trapped among countless other bodies in the hallway. The next meeting is Tuesday, September 29 at 6:30 p.m.

First Meeting!

The Honorable Katharine Kirk presided over Key Club's first meeting of the year on September 23, 2009. The teacher's room, complete with multiple vending machines, a fridge, microwave, and perhaps an oven (?), housed about 11 enthusiastic Key Clubbers (Clubbi?) and Mr. Kuntzman, deeply vested in reading True Compass. We discussed fun(d)raising ideas, witty posters, and volunteer projects; effectively put together the Trick or Treat for UNICEF cardboard boxes; and consumed inhuman amounts of Candy Corn--alerting everyone when a plain yellow one was found. Despite a lackluster attendance due to Drama Club proceedings, Kirk was more enthusiastic than most anyone had ever seen her...ever. Icebreakers were played and pins marveled over. Joy embedded in the hearts of children.

The most pressing issue on hand was the need for baked goods and people selling them at tonight's parent open house. See how that all played out in the next post...!

inaugural post! try to contain your excitement.

what you are reading is the first post ever of Barnstable High School's Key Club blog. i'm sure this post will be examined and carbon dated in many centuries from now, and some how displayed in the Smithsonian or its modern equivalent for future generations to behold. for now, it will serve as a public display for minutes, service, and other spectacular surprises. they're so surprising, i dont even know what they are.

let's start with the 2009/10 officers:

Presidents: Katharine Kirk and Nicole Horvath

Vice President: Emily Sperbeck

Secretary: Hailey Cote

Treasurer: Dan Merritt

Editor: Duke Emily Manning XXVIII, Esq.

and that's that.
