Hello!
This is a reminder that the Acadiana Homeschool Key Club will meet on Tuesday, August 31 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the South Regional branch of the Lafayette Public Library. The following are a couple facts vs. myths about our club:
1. We All Know Each Other: FALSE. Not to be corny or anything, but Key Club members come from all over…different homeschool groups, different towns.
2. Our Meetings Can Be Awkward: TRUE…hey just being honest! We don’t know each other, but by the middle of the year, it’s a whole lot less awkward and a whole lot more fun, interesting…and still a bit weird (in a good way!) We meet once a month, so there’s a lot to cover; we review old events, work on current projects, and brainstorm new ones…and we try to have a game or two in the mix. (And no, I’m not going to start that “Come to the Key Club meeting, we have cookies” business…although we do. And they’re delicious.)
3. You Have to Pay to Join: TRUE. Last year – during our first charter year – all dues were paid by our sponsoring organization, the Saint Martinville Kiwanis Club. For 2010-11, dues are $15 per member (includes dues we pay to Key Club International and LaMissTenn Key Club District.) Dues are payable in September.
4. You Have to Attend All Meetings and Events: FALSE. The beauty of this Key Club is that it is student-run, with the members planning and picking events and activities. We’re homeschoolers – we’re teenagers – we understand crazy schedules.
5. Key Club Members Don’t Have Lives; they spend their time picking trash up off the side of the road: FALSE. We definitely have lives. Our members have extensive lists of activities, including but not limited to sports, cheerleading, music playing, mission trips, 4H, acting, horseback riding, travelling…I’m pretty good at guitar hero, myself. That’s what makes the club so awesome: teenagers who have such busy lives and different interests getting together to make a difference in our community and hang out.
