Division 25C Key Clubbers,

Its February and love is in the air...for service right? I hope you have tons of service planned for this month. There are plenty of people not only in the community but in your school too who need a Valentine. At this time of year everyone seems to be talking about who their Valentine is or where their going for Valentines Day. What about the people who dont have Valentines, have low self esteem, dont have as many friends, etc? This is a great time to hold some type of social if you want to stay close to home and truly showcase the Key Club value inclusiveness because everyone deserves to have fun on Valentines Day! You can do anything from holding a school wide social to having a Key Club movie night. This is a great time to strengthen the bonds among your members or classmates. Remember to reach out to different people not only those same people you always sit with or always talk to at meeting and projects! Cant wait to see all of you at Spring Zone Rally!!

Yours In Service,
