Monday Morning

We had 14 members at Monday’s Appreciation Breakfast at the Fond du Lac High School Key Club. The Key Club had about 13 members plus their teacher advisors, member Chris Stelmacher and Sandi Berka. Principal Jon Wiltzius and Assistant Principal Paulene Mueller also stopped in to thank us for sponsoring the Fond du Lac High School Key Club. Next week’s 50/50 Raffle drawing will have 26 cards with five pay cards and a pot of at least $346.

Fond du Lac Key Club Appreciation Breakfast

The Fondy High Key Club put on a wonderful breakfast for our members on Monday morning. In addition to breakfast the Key Clubber also thanked us for our sponsorship of their group both financially and personally through Chris Stelmacher and Gary Ring. The various officers, both outgoing and incoming, talked about the various projects that their Club has done during the year and what they hope to do in the next year. They highlighted their signature projects; monthly ARC Bingo, their Annual Storybook Land, organizing of the Youth Service Day and providing children’s books to every baby born at St. Agnes Hospital. They had video clips of their most recent Storybook Land where they entertained over 300 children for the morning by acting out various stories. The NFDL Key Club also joined in by acting out one of the five stories presented. The Fondy High Key Club has about 100 paid members of which roughly 50% are very active members.

At the end of the breakfast Jan Krug presented Chris Stelmacher with a Gift Certificate from our Club as a small token of our appreciation for all the work she has done with this Key Club over the past 28+ years.

North Fond du Lac Key Club Takes the Polar Plunge!

The Kiwanis of Fabulous Fond du Lac would just like to congratulate this year’s Polar Plunge team from the Horace Mann Key Club. The team raised $1,906 which is a new team record. The team dressed as Minions from Despicable Me with the following members willingly sacrificing their sanity and warmth for the frigid waters of Lake Winnebago: Michael Friedel, Desmond Krahn, Erica Schwartz, Tianna Robinson, Kendra Lallier, Dakota Wesenberg, Tessa Schwersinske, Amanda Schneider, Tyler Kohnke, Riley Behnke, Gabby Thielke, Morgan Breister, and Emily Romuald.

Last year the team placed 15th in the state for money raised by high schools. All the proceeds raised help support the Special Olympics Organization in Wisconsin.

Thank You to each of the team members for your willingness to plunge and for everyone who helped support our cause.

Storybook Land 2014

The Fondy High Key Clubbers spent their Saturday afternoon corralling and entertaining hundreds of young people at their annual Storybook Land event. The event is geared to encourage reading in young people by bringing books to life through the acting and antics of the Fondy High Key Club members. Children of all ages (including parents) enjoy the carefree excitement of the Key Clubbers in their presentation of several classic storybooks. This year the group presented Snow White, Peter Pan, The Cat in the Hat, Beauty and the Beast, and a sing-a-long of “Old MacDonald.”

After touring through the different storybook lands, each child is given the opportunity to choose a book of their own to take home and read or have read to them. Through the generosity of the Key Club and their sponsors, children had the choice of many different age appropriate reading materials, from Sesame Street babies books to Flat Stanley, several historical and scientific learning books, and even The Babysitter’s Club. Young people were thrilled with the event and left with a renewed excitement toward the adventures of reading. Good job, Key Clubbers!
