Dear lovely Key Clubbers,

I hope yalls winter break was nothing short of
fabulous! Yall have done so much great service
this year, and I just want to thank yall for all the
time and effort you put into making our
community better. I always love the spring
semester of Key Club, because thats when DCON
is. DCON is like one big treat for all your hard work
at the end of the year. Theres parties, balls, and
other fun activities, and youll regret it if you dont
go. Its a lot of fun, and if you want to go, keep
your eyes out for a meeting of some sort so you
can get all the information you need so that you
can go to Dallas and have the greatest time of
your life!

Yours in frostbittenly cool service,

Hey Sweet Serving Snowflakes (because snowflakes are
awesome, just like yall),

Y'all mean a lot to me. Thank you for putting all that you
can into this club. I recognize that everyone here is trying there
very best to improve our club and serve the community, and that
means so to me. Thank you for your passion. I don't know where I
would be if y'all were boring/unmotivated/apathetic about Key
Club. Your passion drives me to make this year the very best for
the Cy-Falls Key Club.
It's a new year so I just wanted to let yall know about what
we have coming up! Our first meeting back from the break is
going to be on January 15
th
. I hope I get to see all of your happy,
smiling faces because I have a lot of great events for yall this next
semester. Its going to be the best semester ever, filled with great
opportunities to serve our community, and thats one of the best
things ever. Also this semester, we have DCON. DCON is literally
the most wonderful time of the year. Its an unforgettable
weekend, full of fun activities and excitement everywhere you go.
You as a Key Clubber get to miss two days of school and stay at a
really awesome hotel in Dallas AND get to meet Key Clubbers who
are as awesome as you from all over the state of Texas AND
Oklahoma. Its basically like your birthday, New Years Eve, and
Thanksgiving wrapped up into one weekend. You wont want to
miss it. Finally, we have the perpetually fantastic K2 Parents Night
out on January 18
th

much fun, and I encourage everyone to go.
When I graduate high school and move on into the world, I
won't remember much about sophomore year except that I got
to work with a wonderful group of people with the common goal
of improving our community. Key Club has made all the
difference for me; I hope it has for you. I cant wait to see what
the rest of the year has in store for this club. See yall on the 15

ELIMINATING MNT is SNOW joke!
This holiday season was full of Christmas
carols, candy canes, and most important,
PANCAKES! The main goal and theme this year for
Key Club is the Eliminate Project, where we try to
raise money to eliminate maternal and neonatal
tetanus. The past year of 2013, we have done
UNICEF where many have raise quite a bit of
money for the project during the Halloween
season. It really is amazing to know that extra coins
that lie around can add up to so much! But, the
main event we have to raise money is the Eliminate
Pancake Breakfast.
The Eliminate Pancake Breakfast was hosted
during December in a gracious Applebees near
Cypress Falls High School. Many of the key clubbers
willing got in line to sell the tickets. It was common
to see a key clubber sell their ticket to their parents,
teachers, and fellow students because the tickets
were ten dollars each. Some of the key clubbers
even bought a ticket for themselves to attend! It
was really a team effort to sell the tickets though,
because times are hard, but the money did go to a
better cause, and thats what makes everything
worth it.
On the day of the breakfast, many woke up
at the crack of dawn to go help set up the event
at Applebees. They wiped down the tables and
prepared themselves to be waiters and servers for
the guests. As the place began to fill with people,
everyone volunteering found themselves busy at
work. Orders were taken, food was served, guests
were greeted, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Around the midway mark of the event, the Key
Clubbers prepared a special surprise performance
for everyone. They made a cha cha line and sang
a song for everyone to get in the spirit. The thing
that made the highlight was the president, Amy,
going around to every table thanking everyone for
buying the ticket and explaining the Eliminate
Project.
Overall, the Eliminate Pancake Breakfast by
CyFalls was a huge success and ended the year on
a good note to reaching the goal of the Eliminate
Projct. If everyone contributes just a little, together
we can all eliminate maternal and neonatal
tetanus and help make the world a better place.
ELIMINATING Pancakes?
By Annie Phan, Historian
Applebees: it was more lively than usual this Saturday
morning. There were families together, eating pancakes
and breakfast at a place minutes away from home.
What was even more out of the ordinary was the amount
of high schoolers there. This might have been what the
average Applebees-goer might have observed.
However, they werent there to eatthey were
serving food! With Santa hats and reindeer headbands,
Key Clubbers waited on each family with a smile as they
gave them their breakfast. As I took my family over to
Applebees to support them (by eating a great
breakfast), my 14-year-old brother asked, Why are we
spending $40 to eat pancakes?
Not just pancakes, silly Padawan. Pancakes,
eggs, sausage, and fruits galore! (Hashtag, worth it) I
responded back with my usual grin. Its for a good
cause. These 40 dollars should be put to the best use
possible. And what better use than to save a life?
However, saving a life is still a bit of an understatement.
A closer estimate is more like saving anywhere from 40 to
100 lives. How, you ask? ELIMINATE, thats how.
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT), a disease
that plagues many in third-world countries. I bet youve
never heard of it. Thats because for the most part, MNT
has been eliminated from most developed nations
through medical advances and vaccinations. But heres
the real question: if we have these vaccinations, why
havent we been doing anything to eliminate it from the
rest of the earth?
A question like this was probably asked by Kiwanis
and UNICEF years ago, because both organizations
jointly launched ELIMINATE: a huge service project with
the goal of eliminating MNT from the rest of the earth
and Key Club is giving their all to see this vision realized.
This project was created to answer and solve the
previous question. We havent been able to do this
earlier because of one thing: the cost. On a massive
scale, it would be huge (I dont know the exact amount)!
However, there is a great deal of people in just the US.
How much would it add up to if each person donated
just $10? $10 to eat pancakes, $10 to bring a smile to a
family.
$10 to save about 15 lives, or even more! So whats $10
to us? A meal at Chipotle? A Starbucks gift card? How
about we make the most of what we have? How about
we use $10 for something of far greater value?
How about we use $10 to save a family? Now that would
be a good Christmas gift.
