Fellow Key Clubbers:
Today’s meeting will mark the end of another successful
year of Key Club. Our club has made great strides this year under

contributions to the community will not be forgotten. These

congradulated for their excellent year of service. You, the

The Points Leaders
Calendar of Events:
Mondays and Tuesdays: Help out at the Police Athletic
League by assisting kids with their homework and playing
with them as well. This falls under the Governor’s Project.
Wednesdays and Thursdays: Meet up with fellow
Momentum team members after school on either day to go to
the Momentum sites, where you’ll prepare desserts for AIDS
patients. No culinary experience necessary.
Saturdays: Lend a hand at Bowery Mission Soup Kitchen:
serve lunch to the community’s homeless, help prepare
meals, sort donations and usher patrons to their dining seats.
This is, and probably will continue to be, one of most popular
events.
Sundays: Come and volunteer at the Silver Lake Nursing
Home in Staten Island. You can help care for the elderly and
learn some really cool things and meet really interesting
people.
To Be Annouced: Make Chinatown a cleaner place by
participating in the Chinatown Clean-up. Details of this
project are still being worked out.

June A year ago, I went to hang out with my friends. This is
basically what I do with my free time. Having nothing to do, we went to a mall. There she was, a little girl, maybe 10 years old, sitting on the floor of a toy store. “She looks fine,” I thought to myself. “She doesn’t seem to need any help.” However, I knew that was not the case. At that time, I was fifteen years old. I was an immature adolescent. I didn’t care. Maybe I had something better to do; my friends were more important to me than this little girl was.
That night’s weather was that of a typical winter night: chilly, windy, and cold. I could not help but think about the girl on the way home. Who was she? Did her mother leave her there alone? Could I have made a difference? Although the “insensitive me” initially took the indifference route, I knew what I should have done. In trying to compensate for what I should have done, I head back to the mall. It was rather late, and many stores began to close. I scanned the mall, running back and forth, but despite my effort, I could not find her.
I spend that night by myself, wondering what had happened. I asked myself questions, and was not able to answer any. It was a good day for me. While I did not do anything spectacular, it was a fun day nonetheless. I was determined not to let this bother me, but I could not get it out of my head. I tried to convince myself, “She’s fine, Larry, her mother probably found her and they left.” But it was of no help for me. I lost my chance to help this girl.
Waking up to the news next morning, I thought I would forget it. But fate would not allow me to. I was stunned to hear that a little girl was found dead at a local shopping mall. I paid close attention as the host described it. However, I soon lost reasoning. I did what many people might do in this situation; I wept.
I cannot be sure that it was the same girl. However, I know I cannot forget about that girl, no matter how hard I try. There are many lessons to be learnt from this, but the one that will live with me forever is, when someone’s in need, you may be the last chance that person has. That is part of what Key Club is about, and that’s why I joined it. I wanted to help.

In my two years as a Key Club Member, I have noticed that the number of participants going to events dwindle near the end of the school year and into the summer. This causes a problem because people need help all year, not just in the winter months. Key Club needs to be a service organization which volunteers year-round. Key Club has many summer projects that will make this goal possible. Bowery Mission, Momentum, Lighthouse POSH sales, and the Chinatown Clean-up are all ongoing events throughout the summer. I encourage you to attend these events during the summer when you have less work and more time. As an incentive to go to summer projects, points for next year will be given to those who participate in these events. I hope to see you there.
