By Lily Forster – Entertainment Editor

Junior Caroline Doyle is the President of the Jonathan Law Key Club. Advocate Entertainment Editor Lily Forster interviewed Doyle about the start of the year and the club’s plans.

Lily Forster: What is the Key Club looking most forward to this year?

Caroline Doyle: This year I am most looking forward to getting back to some of our normal activities that we couldn’t do due to covid, like Salvation Army, Kiwanis visits, and other volunteer events that haven’t occurred since covid started like festivals and volunteering in the middle and elementary schools. 

LF: How are the freshmen and other new members doing?

CD: The freshmen are doing really well. They are all so enthusiastic about volunteering and I never have to worry about a shift not being filled when it comes to them. When I raise the sheet in the air, I have to decide who wants it first because of how eager they are to sign up to volunteer. I’m excited to see how far some of them go. 

LF: What has the Key Club done already this year?

CD: So far we have volunteered at the Scarecrow event, Touch a Truck, Walk For Water, The Get In Touch Foundation, Trick or Treat for UNICEF, and collected donations for 9/11 lanyards.

LF: What does the Key Club have planned for the rest of this month?

CD: For the month we have planned to volunteer at the Pumpkins on the Green event downtown, continue to collect money for Trick or Treat for UNICEF, and our officers will be attending an Officer Training Conference held by the District.

LF: How has it been serving as Key Club President this year?

CD: This year being Key Club President has been amazing. We have so many active members that are so eager to volunteer and help out, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of officers to help me along the way. I spend the majority of my time doing Key Club things, whether it’s for our Club or my District position, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
