Thanksgiving Dinner
Recap

Preseidential Message
Hello everyone! Coming up this month we have the Giving tree (my favorite),
Coat drive and Tea with Ms. Claus. Additionally there is a divisional event, Elimina-
thon. The Giving tree will continue throughout December, which gives everyone
more than enough time to participate. The coat drive and tea with Ms. Claus hap-
pen to fall on the same day which means we need as many volunteers as possible. If
you enjoy hands on service then the coat drive and tea are definitely your kind of
event. We have had two major events so far this year and the help from the mem-
bers has been great. The Halloween Event could not have been pulled off with out
all of the help and supplies you guys brought in. The parents and children loved it!
The Thanksgiving Dinner was amazing. Although the first two events went well we still
have several more events planned for this year. Some events require more work than
others, but we still need our members. Every year we try to change the events for the
best and we are on the right path this year to do just that. The hard work you are
putting in is greatly appreciated. Thank you, to all the members who come early and
stay after.

UNICEF is the 'United Nations Children's Fund';
and was founded to "work with others to overcome
the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease, and
discrimination place in a child's path". UNICEF cre-
ates projects, such as The Eliminate Project, to end
one of the obstacles facing children. The Eliminate
Project was created with the plan in mind to elimi-
nate Maternal and Neonatal Tetnus, or MNT, from
every country. For the past few years the K Family
has teamed up with UNICEF to earn money for The
Eliminate Project.
On October 29th, some fellow board mem-
bers and I went to the local elementary schools to
discuss with the fifth and sixth graders how they can
help too. We discussed with them the back story of
UNICEF and The Eliminate Project, and how it only
takes $1.80 to save a mother and her future chil-
dren. We mentioned how there were originally 59
countries battling MNT. The number has since gone
down to 24 countries thanks to The Eliminate Pro-
ject, and the help of the K Family.
The students were eager to help, so we in-
formed them the best way they could contribute is
through Trick or Treat for UNICEF. All they would
have to do was bring the orange Trick or Treat for
UNICEF box around when they went Trick or Treat-
ing and ask for donations. If they did not go out on
Halloween, they could also ask neighbors and rela-
tives, since every cent helps.
After the presentation, the children asked us
questions they may have still had. We were
pleased to see so many of the elementary school
students willing to learn more about MNT and The
Eliminate Project. It was amazing to see them all
wanting to make a difference and help out. While
at Demarest School, I learned that they had al-
ready set a $1,000.00 goal. As if that was not im-
pressive enough; they had already raised over half
of their set amount!
While the trip to the local schools was meant
to be an educational one for them, it was also a
great experience. I hope to have the same re-
sponse from next years students!

On October 25th, 2014, Bloomfield High School held its annual Halloween
event, this year entitled “Ghouls in the Schools”. Children ages 5-8 were
invited to our 3rd Floor, which was transformed into a spectacular Hallow-
een adventure. The event, running from 9-2:30, included various Hallow-
een-based games, Arts & Crafts, face painting, pumpkin painting, and
concession stands. A total of $570 was raised, all of which went towards
UNICEF. Along with our Halloween event, we went to the elementary
schools around our town the week after to explain our partnership with
UNICEF, and asked for them to help collect money around their neigh-
borhood for this cause. I hope everybody who attended had a great
time!

The Senior Citizens Thanksgiving was wonderful. The decorations looked
amazing thanks to our creative members. We spent hours on the center piec-
es, pine cone turkeys and thanksgiving sign, but the effort did not go unrecog-
nized. The Senior citizens loved it all. Everyone worked so well together with set
up and clean up, which played a key role in the success of the event. It was
great to see all of the members interacting with the not only the senior citizens
but the Builders Club members as well. The members did a great job making a
system to serve both the drinks and the food. Some people really stepped up
during this event, and that helped out a lot. Key Club it all about volunteering
and building leadership, seeing the club succeed in both areas made all of
the hard work worth it. I hope the rest of this year goes above the standard we
set with the Thanksgiving Dinner.
