time to get a fun fact.

Outstanding Leaders: Morgan Evans Carrie Miller Sonora Metreveli Bailey Wilkerson-Cooper The hard work of these four Key Clubbers is what made our Toy Drive

a success. They organized a special holiday party meeting to wrap and

decorate the drop-off boxes, and even invited the Twin Falls Middle

School Key Club to come help. They distributed the boxes to the

different locations, picked up the toys, and filmed a commercial to get

the word out. This year’s Kiwanis toy drive/giving tree helped more

than 600 children, and the dedication of Morgan, Carrie, Sonora and

Bailey definitely made a difference. Thanks for your hard work!

Outstanding Volunteers: Molly Mabel New to Key Club this year, Molly jumped right in and started

volunteering. She has helped with all the major projects in the club-

the yard cleanup, bell ringing, Unicef, and decorating boxes, picking

up toys, and being part of the ad for the Toy Drive. When there’s

something to help with, the default answer in her mind is yes, not no.

She doesn’t see her service as a chore, it’s something she enjoys. She’s

even volunteered to run for an officer position. Thanks, Molly!

Sam O’Malie When no one is raising their hand to volunteer something, that’s when

you can count on Sam to nod and say “I’m pretty sure I can do that,

when would you like me to come?” Sam was a big help with making

and selling cotton candy at the Friday night football games throughout

the fall, and he continues to be a great volunteer, helping with bell-

ringing and much more. Thanks, Sam!

Thanks to everyone who helped ring the

Salvation Army bell and showed their holiday

spirit with carols, Santa hats, and even a tiny

Christmas tree! All the money raised through

the Salvation Army kettles goes directly back

to families in the Valley. And it’s fun, too!
