Region seven held a training conference for upcoming officers and members who would like to help their club on May 17. Three officers and one member participated in this opportunity to better the BHS Key Club. The conference took place at Boswell High School in Fort Worth. This year’s theme was Safari with the choice for the club members to dress for the occasion. Many people participated, and there was an abundance of energy from the different Key Clubs. Different ideas were shared on how to better improve a club as well as some helpful advice from the LTG and other board officers.

The Burleson Key Club spent their morning at Russell Boren Farms helping with their first pancake fund raising breakfast on May 2. The farm had a display of games that children in the late 1800s to early 1900s would enjoy playing, such as horse shoes and bag toss. Our members helped raise almost $2,000 during the fund raiser.
