Jonathan Law’s Keyettes Club recently held its first meeting for the school year. 

The Keyettes volunteer at many places and have many fundraisers throughout the school year. They volunteer and have fundraisers to make a positive impact on the community.

“The Keyettes volunteer at places such as the downtown Milford business association where we help prepare for any events going on down there, such as the upcoming scarecrow fest, any fundraisers such as the Dante Hayden Shoot for the Stars Basketball Tournament, and nonprofits, such as Homes for the Brave which provides shelter for homeless veterans in Connecticut,” said president and junior Elizabeth Ryan. “We do this to make a positive impact on our community and help those who need it.”

The Keyettes are planning to have an upcoming event with Home of the Brave for their first event of the school year. 

“I help aid the other officers of the club along with finding Volunteer opportunities for the club,” said vice president and junior Angelica Sanders. “We are planning to have an upcoming event/ fundraiser which is with Home of the Brave which helps homeless veterans.” 

The Keyettes are a female-led club that makes a positive impact on the community. 

“I joined the Keyettes Club because it seemed like a small, but great group of people who helped volunteer and make a positive impact on the community,” said treasurer and junior Aislinn Burns. “Being a female-led group, it also allows us to connect with other female led organizations and work together in order to reach more people.”

Students earn volunteer hours while in the Keyettes Club and get to meet new people. 

“People should join Keyettes because it is a good opportunity for you to get volunteer hours and meet new people,” said public relations director and junior Alyssa Greggis. 

The Keyettes’ advisor, Ms. Sylvia, has a few goals for the club. 

“As the advisor of the group, my personal goal is to grow our membership and support the members’ goals for fundraising and volunteer work,” Sylvia said.

Students can join the Keyettes Club by visiting Sylvia in the College and Career Center. Meetings are at 2:15 p.m. on Mondays in the College and Career Center.
