Hey Key Club,
I know everyone’s been busy this summer. I hope you’re all accom-
plishing your summer goals and volunteering. I know I’ve been busy
with dual credit classes and preparing for the school year, as well
with doing this newsletter. Let’s make these last three weeks of sum-
mer count! I hope to see everyone at our car washes and ongoing
events. Together, we can make this summer of volunteering one of
the best ever. Stay amazing.
Yours in service,
Lexi Cepak,
North Crowley Key Club

What is a PCM? A Presidential Council
Meeting is when the Lt. Governor updates
the officers of the division on what is hap-
pening in the District and Divisional
Events. This is a great opportunity to learn
new service ideas from other clubs in the
division, as well as getting to know your
Kiwanis advisors. Each PCM will include a
service project and an FAQ session. Club
officers can use this time to ask any ques-
tions he/she may have and get an immedi-
ate response. I strongly encourage every-
one to attend and take advantage of what
PCMs have to offer, because this is what
your Lt. governor is here for!
This month, our PCM was held on July 19th
at the Salvation Army. The event started
at 9:00 am so Key Clubbers and Kiwanis
members could help make sack lunches
and help serve lunch. Our Lieutenant Gov-
ernor, an Bui and our Vice President, Daisy
Doan both attended this month’s PCM.
Together, everyone helped make and
package over 200 meals.

B efore we could have our summer car washes,
North Crowley Key Club had to make posters in
order to advertise for them. On Tuesday, July
15 our key club got together
to make posters for the car washes we
would hold this summer.
The event started at 5:00 at Jordan’s
house. We were welcomed into her
home that was chock full of snacks,
drinks, and art supplies for us to use.
As the artist of the group, my job was
to draw a car on the car wash poster
while everyone else painted. It was a
lot of fun getting to socialize with fellow
Key Club members, while making posters for our up-
coming car washes and Joe’s Pizza, Jack in the Box,
and Chick-Fil-A.
We used brightly colored posters and paints in order to
grab people’s attention and get them to our car wash-
es. Evidently, we were successful because so far, we
have raised over $100 for our North Crowley Key Club.

O n Saturday, July 26 North Crowley Key Club held
their first car wash of the summer at Jack in the
Box on Alta Mesa. It started at the early hour of
the morning, 9:00. It was a day full of hard work for the
club like holding posters and washing cars, but it was well
worth our time and effort.
First, Daisy and Demi would spray the cars with water, then
Crystal and Jordan would scrub the car with soap. Because
we care about the environment, we used animal friendly
soap on all of the cars. Daisy and Demi then rinsed the cars
off again before Crystal and Jordan wiped them dry.
It was a hectic day because dozens of cars showed up
needing to be washed, but our Key Club was able to pull
through and make raise a total of over $100. It also
strengthened the bonds between the members of our club,
since they all had to work together to achieve a common
goal of getting cars cleaned in the most efficient way possi-
ble. Everyone had fun at the car wash, but when 3:00, the
end of the car wash, came around everyone was ready to
eat popsicles and drink some ice cold lemonade to celebrate
the accomplishments of their first summer car wash in the
middle of the heat of Texas in late July.

B arnes & Noble Storytime is a
weekly event North Crowley
Key Club holds every Satur-
day morning at 11 am at the Over-
ton Ridge Barnes & Noble. This stu-
dent led event allows Key Clubbers
to interact and spend quality time
with children and their families,
sharing knowledge, education, and
creativity. Key Clubbers come at 10
am geared with their craft supplies
to prepare and plan a specific “craft”
for the week’s theme. The craft gen-
erally and usually corresponds with
the week’s planned out book chosen
by the members. Generally, there
are two books chosen to read each
week. Once things are prepared and
settled, Key Clubbers set up the
reading stage by moving and setting
out chairs for the children and fami-
lies to sit. The Barnes & Noble staff
announces that Storytime begins
throughout the store to inform cus-
tomers about the event. Once 11:00
am hits, the Key Club members
begin to sit on the stage and wel-
comes everyone to Storytime. The
theme is announced and the mem-
bers begin to read the first book, fol-
lowed by the second.
This month, we had four different story times that each
had a separate theme.
On Saturday, July 5th, there was a Thank You, Octopus
by Darren Farrell and Pig Kahuna theme.
On July 19th, there was a dinosaur theme!
T hroughout the readings,
members engage with the
children, allowing them to
socialize, ask questions, or make
comments about the story time.
Once the reading is finished, a mem-
ber welcomes the children over to
the craft table to join in making the
week’s craft. Key Clubbers make
sure each child is seated correctly
and safely around the table, along
with any parents or families that
would like to join. A member begins
to explain the week’s craft and
shows the children how to make it.
The necessary supplies are passed
around to each child and the craft
making begins. Key Clubbers con-
stantly are engaged around the chil-
dren, interacting, helping, and guid-
ing the children with their crafts. If
any child has questions or needs
help, the members are there to sup-
port them through it all. The satis-
faction and joy in seeing the kids’
enjoyment and excitement is price-
less!
