Annie Moore, Fondy High Key Club

Annie Moore, President of the FDL High School Key Club, joined us on Monday to outline the plans for the Key Club this year.  Annie said the Club has three major goals for this year:

  • More active participation of more members.  Currently it appears that 80 dues paying members will be in the Club.  How they get more participation from these members will be the challenge.
  • Increase fund raising efforts to build the treasury so they can continue to supply Golden Books to the newborn babies at Agnesian HealthCare.
  • Attempt to get more Key Club members to out breakfast meetings on Monday and get to know our members and vice versa.

The Key Club will be cleaning up their section of Hwy 23 East of Fond du Lac on Sunday.  They also are tentatively planning their StoryBook Land on February 20th and Youth Services Day will be April 27th , both major service projects.
