Contrary to popular belief, Key Club does not make keys; rather, they are a high school branch of Kiwanis International, a club whose members vol­ unteer for their community. Key Club stands for "Kiwanis Educates Youth," and Salem's division has about fifty members this year. Since the beginning of this school year, it has held many meetings and has had dozens of different projects. In August, both Kiwanis and Key Club went miniature golfing and traveled to Niles to watch a Mahoning Valley Scrappers game together. Builder's Club, a middle school version of the high school's Key Club, was also begun at the Salem Middle School this past August. Throughout the fall various members of Key Club have volunteered to park cars before the home football games to raise money. Also during the football games members would sell glow sticks to spectators. To promote school spirit, battle ribbons were distributed by Key Club members in the cafeteria on Fridays before the school day started. During September, representatives from Salem's Key Club attended the Fall Training Conference (FTC) in Delaware, Ohio. This convention pro­ vided the attendees with advice on how to become a better Key Club member. Honor America Day was another convention held in late October in Steubenville,

Ohio. Members listened to a retired veteran speak about the country and why it was and still is beneficial to serve the community. There were also several fundraisers held throughout the fall months, those being Beat West Branch T­ shirt sales, the car bashing prior to the West Branch football game, a coat drive, candle sales, 9-11 Fund for the New York tragedy, Rake-Away for Children's Miracle Network, and Trick-or-Treat for Vitamin A Deficiency. In Novem­ ber, the club plans on running a toy drive for the Salvation Army and working a concession stand at a home basketball game. The club's weekly events consist of its meeting every Wednesday in the high school library at 6:30pm, Hart Farms Saturday mornings (members help handicapped children ride horses at a local farm), and the Kiwanis luncheon/ meeting on Thursdays. The week of November 4-10 is recognized as "Key Club Week," and there was a party held in place of a meeting on Wednesday, November 7 at the Phone Booth in Salem. On Thursday, November 8 the Key Club officers ran the Kiwanis meeting in the spirit of"Key Club Week." Officers for the 2001-2002 school year are President- Connie Cibula, Vice-President- Craig Berger, Secre­ tary -C.J. Javens, Treasurer- Ryan Hack, and Sergeant-at-Arms- Nick Fithian. According to Connie Cibula, "Key Club is having one ofits most successful years ever. Since school let out last year, we've raised about $5 ,000, most for charity." Key Club member Ed Butch also commented saying, "Key Club has been a great experience these past four years, and helping serve my fellow classmates and Salemites has been fun." Key Club has proven that it has extreme involvement in the community, a quality for which it deserves acute recognition. No matter the time of year, whether school is in session or not, it is sure that Salem Key Club members are working very hard throughout the city to make it a better place.
