The Jonathan Law High School Key Club meets Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Senior Cafe to discuss their plans for upcoming events.

The Key Club is involved in many events during the year, and they raise money for several different groups of people around the community. Currently they are volunteering for the Salvation Army by shaking the can around Milford.

“Right now we are doing our yearly collection for Salvation Army which involves standing outside of Shop Rite, and Walmart and shaking the can for donations for the Salvation Army,” said Jonathan Law Key Club Officer Brian Zirkel. “We do this fundraiser every year and it goes on until about Christmas time.”

However, the Key Club is also preparing for the annual district conference. This year the conference is in April and the Key Club is prepared for it.

“I know that we currently have a lot of members that are eager to go and learn from the experience, just as I have in the past two years,” said Jonathan Law Key Club President Angel Santiago. “I can also tell you that we will be coming home with many awards that our key clubbers have worked extremely hard to earn throughout the year.”

The Key Club also does a lot more than just volunteer around the community. They also have several fundraisers throughout the year, two of which are happening in the near future.

“We are doing a poinsettias and wreaths fundraiser right now,” said Jonathan Law Key Club Treasurer Noah Forsythe. “We are also going to be doing a cookie batter sale soon for the upcoming holiday season.”

Finally, while the staff of officers that the Key Club has does a fine job of running the club, an adult leader is still present and helpful to ensure smooth operation, and Mr. Boynton is impressed with how well the club is running.

“I am presently surprised, to be honest, I was a little nervous with the graduation last year, but we got a great influx of freshmen and sophomores and everyone is really working very hard and cooperating with each other,” said Jonathan Law Key Club Director Mr. Boynton. “So far we are exceeding the success that I expected.”

All in all, the Key Club is well on its way through another successful year of helping people not only throughout Law but also through the community of Milford.
