NEWS: Key Club Takes Over Home Game Concession Stand
By Jessica Cuevas – Staff Reporter
The Jonathan Law Key Club will now be running the concession stand at all Law sporting events.
Due to the recent disbandment of the Jonathan Law Sports Association, volunteers were needed to keep the stand open and running.
“After (athletic director) Mr. Sarullo mentioned that the Sports Association wasn’t doing it anymore, Key Club decided to step up,” Key Club advisor Mr. Boynton said.
The members of the club will be volunteering at the field house every varsity football home game. The club will be serving pizza, candy, soda and other drinks like water and Gatorade.
“Key Club is looking forward to running the stand every home game,” Key Club co-president Marissa Pollack said. “It’s a great way to get volunteer hours.”
Many members are excited to be able to earn volunteer hours while simultaneously raising money.
“It’s a great way to raise money for a great organization,” junior Key Club member Matthew Zancewicz said.
Along with the change in volunteers, there is a change in the menu. The concession stand no longer sells things such as hamburgers or fries.
Some students were disappointed about that change.
“I just want my halftime fries,” senior Seamus O’Reilly said.
The club is considering serving hot dogs at the next few games but will no longer serve items that need to be cooked since the student volunteers can not use the grill or deep fryer.
“I was disappointed and I wasn’t even there at the game,” senior Ian Hugo said.
On top of volunteering at the concession stand, another big upcoming event that the Key Club volunteers at is Salvation Army.
This is when members of the club stand outside stores and ring a bell to grab shopper´s attention to donate money to the Salvation Army.
¨We are very excited for Salvation Army, everyone loves it.¨ junior co-president Michael Jalaf said. ¨It´s a fun time.¨
The Key Club meets every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the senior cafe.
The club is still looking for new members. Dues are $15 and can be handed in by November 1 or as soon as possible.
