THE LOREM IPSUMS SUMMER 2016

Car Wash! This car wash was definitely a

learning experience!

We Tried! Unfortunately, our car wash wasn’t as successful as we

hoped, but it’s all about learning, right? We weren’t

able to raise as much money as we wished, partly

because it was in the summer and hard to promote

since everyone is on vacation. We did end up making

some dough, despite our rough circumstances. Thank

you to everyone who helped out!

Better Luck Next Time! In the future, we hope to have more member

involvement. I know some of you were stuck at

home and could’ve gone! Anyway, next time, the

event will be much more organized and in a better

spot to guarantee more success.

We Need Feedback from You Guys! We would appreciate more feedback from the

members about what we could do tom make our

fund-raising events more successful. If anyone has

any ideas as to how we can pull off a better car

wash and other great fundraising events, don’t

hesitate to email any of us. Our information is in

the contact pages!

Please help spread the word about the Frisbee Tournament! You don’t have to be

athletic to participate!

To promote our club as well, we will have an ice cream social, so people can also stop buy to watch and share some ice cream as we talk more about our club! We really want to expand our club to everyone throughout the school!

1

We really want to raise more money for ELIMINATE and our club, so we really need everyone to find friends to participate in

the Frisbee Tournament during the beginning of the school year. Please reach out to people and assemble a team. It’ll be great fun and you don’t have to be athletic! We will also have

prizes for the winning team, so get your game face on!

Charity Miles: the new app that could make running for a cause much easier.

2

great thing

about this

app is that

you can use it

you know

you’re going

to be walking for a while,

you can turn this app on. One time, my sisters

was curious how much she walked at work and

it turns out she’d walked three miles in one

shift! You can use it as encouragement to go

outside after being cooped up for so long

because of summer break. Or, you could walk

with a fried or family member and earn twice

the amount for your charity of choice. No

matter what method you choose, you’re

exercising for a noble cause!

With one million invested in the

project, but makers are hoping to change that

with the help of us spreading information to

others! There have been problems in the past

posting your accomplishments to Facebook and

helping to spread the word because this is a

newer app, butt you can still raise money for

Charity Miles and they are looking to fix the

sponsorship problem as quickly as possible!

Charity Miles has recently added new charities

to their app and we could potentially get them

to include The ELIMINATE Project or

Do you enjoy running, walking, biking and just

being active in general? Do you often find

yourself looking for new ways to support people

in need? Recently, our club has discovered the

perfect app for you! Charity Miles is an app

that allows you to run, bike or walk and donate

money. You can pick from twenty-four

different charities every time you choose to use

it! Any one who has a smartphone from

Android or Apple can use their GPS monitors

to help track their distance. When you’re

finished with your workout, the app will also

tell you how much you’ve raised for your

charity.

In our club, a number of people are involved in

different sports, marching band and dance, so

being active is pretty important. One thing we

always enjoy is participating in races! If you’re

looking to train for an upcoming race, this app

allows you to do that, while also helping others.

It’s like Toms, but you don’t have to buy

anything! Being healthy is important for

everyone, especially in our adolescent years, so

we’re basically killing two birds with one stone!

If you’re looking to start being more active this,

app is also great for you! Tracking your progress

is key, and now you can track your progress

through your distance traveled and the amount

of money you’ve earned! What a win win! The

Children’s Miracle Network. If we could

pull that off, then that would be another

way to contribute to our worthy causes!

It’s often difficult to organize hour

opportunities in the summer because

school isn’t in session and people are on

vacation. Charity Miles could be a

beneficial hour opportunity that could

allow anyone to earn their hours

whenever possible. If our club works at it

enough, we might be able to have them

add the charities we donate to as ones to

run for. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?!?!

No matter which way you look at it, Charity

Miles is a great idea created by a team of

talented individuals that strive to change the

world, so they’re in a sense just like us. Right

now, they’ve invested 1 million dollars in the

bank to donate, and they hope more

promotion from users will assist in getting

their app out there. The owners would add

more money to give away with more

promotions and third party sponsors. We

have the potential to raise a great number of

money from charities worthy of assistance.

Who wouldn’t want to help?

Interested in becoming more involved in Key Club?

Of COURSE you are! Thankfully, we will have many more opportunities for you

all to become more than just a board member! As we plan more events, more help is required and that’s why we need you guys! This year, we’re looking to plan more events and service projects to reach our goal for ELIMINATE and

much more, so if you love to plan and serve we could definitely use your assistance! Run for heard of a committee later this year!
