Last month, Panthers Key Club was actively involved with UNICEF.
Our primary goal was not only to raise money, (although we did raise
some), rather it was to raise awareness about the living conditions in
other countries. We went from class to class to spread the word about
the goals for UNICEF for this year and telling them how they could
help. It is our belief that students should be encouraged to take their
own initiative to make a change, instead of having them follow
someone else’s ideas. Our club hosted a bake sale on the 31st in our
school. It was very successful as it was a girls vs. guys bake sale, where
the students bought stuff and voted on which team made the best
baked goods. The guys won for creativity, while the girls won for over-
all taste. We also had a photo booth set up at our school’s dance
where we also made some money. A lot of our members volunteered
for the SAFF Canada Film Festival from October 31st – November 4th.
This month, our main projects will be Write for Rights and the 24 hour
Vow of Silence for Free the Children.

During the month of October Solh Key Club was busy with new
ideas and volunteering projects. Solh Key Club participated in many
activities during the month of October such as Rice Raiser, Ruth and
Naomi’s, a Baking Party, and a Halloween Party. Solh Key Club loves
to participate in Rice Raiser monthly by selling baked goods, and this
year instead of having members bring in things from home we are
eliminating all costs for them and we bake them at the school with
supplies bought by Solh Key Club. This month’s baking party was on
30th and baked goods were sold on the 30th. We had several mem-
bers go and volunteer on the 5th at Ruth and Naomi’s. And we also
had a pot luck Halloween Party on the 29th, instead of a meeting.
Solh Key Club intends to continue to work on our SIGN project, Rice
Raiser, Project Educate, Bell Ringing for Kiwanis, and a movie at Cot-
ton Wood 4 Cinemas called Frankenweenie, please support us by
purchasing a ticket ($10, comes with popcorn and a drink, @ Cotton
Wood 4 Cinemas, @ 10 AM). If you are interested in buying tickets
please email [email protected] . I have so much gratitude
for working with all of the wonderful members in the Solh Key Club.

What a start to the year! With over 100 members, both new and
old, we are off to a great beginning. We have already started a few
projects, led by our very own members; they include SOS (Save Old
Spectacles), Operation Christmas Child, and Love for Lilee (a bake
sale in which over $300 was raised for a little girl suffering from can-
cer). Our recycling teams have already raised over $500 for donation
and scholarships. For the community, our volunteers have eagerly
helped out at the Rice Raiser and the Harvest Dance, which is a Hal-
loween dinner and dance for mentally and physically disabled peo-
ple. Later this month we will be helping out at the Food Bank, and in
December we will be helping out at the Rice Raiser again. We have
an overwhelming number of willing volunteers this year, and we can’t
wait to see what’s in store!
