Quote of the Day- Harry
Henry Ford” coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress;
working together is success.”
Quote represents what we’re doing here. We’ve been faced by a lot of adverse
things in the past month. Our goal is to get through. A lot of “red tape”
bureaucratic things. We must work together if we want to be successful. We’ve
already come together, but now we must work together.
Service Thought-Alex
Revitalizing a community garden. His club is redesigning a whole garden. It’ll be

all their projects.
o He’s met with a number of different clubs and they’re all doing a lot
of good things in the high schools. They’re really active.
o He talked to a member of the Salt Lake Club. Carter Jones, a
Kiwanis LTG, has started a club in Salt Lake City. They had their first
meeting and it had about 25 kids.
 It would be under Danny, Division 8C.
One of the things that makes Kiwanis is working with Key Club and modify
their way of life. It’s what we are all about.
Wednesday, he was at Emmet High School, Back in the hills behind Boise.
There were 8 inches of snow on the ground. Haven’t gotten above 30

Story time with Revis
Fall of Freddie the Leaf.
Spring had passed so had summer. Freddie the leaf had grown large. He had
first appeared in spring as a small sprout on the top of a tall tree. Freddie was
surrounded by hundreds of other leaves. Soon he discovered no two leaves
were a like even though they were on the same tree. They had all grown up
together, they danced together in the breeze. Daniel was Freddie’s best friend,
he was the largest leaf. Daniel appeared to be the wisest. It was Daniel who
explained they were growing on a tree in a public park. He explained about the
birds and the roots of the tress. He explained of the sun, the moon, the stars and
the seasons. Freddie loved being a leaf. Summer had been especially nice to
Freddie. There were many people in the park that summer, they also sat below
the tree. Daniel said the purpose was to give people shade. A purpose is a
reason for playing. To provide comfort of others. These are all reasons for living.
He liked the quite elderly as well as the active children. Freddie’s summer soon
passed. It had never felt so cold. Soon, they were covered in dew and sparkled
in the sun. Daniel explained they had experienced their first frost. Almost at
once, the whole tree, the whole park was transformed into a blaze of colors.
Freddie was red and gold and blue. They all looked beautiful. They had made
their tree a rainbow. Why did we change different colors if we grew on the
same tree? Daniel said we have had different experiences, why should we not
be different colors? Soon all their stems were being pulled as if they were angry.
All the leaves became frightened, what’s happening they asked each other?
It’s time for all the leaves to find a different home. Will we all die? Freddie said
yes, we will all die. We experience life, and will die. Freddie said I won’t die, will
you Daniel? Daniel said he will die when I it is his time. Some lashed back, while
some just fell. Freddie told Daniel he is afraid of dying. We all fear what we don’t
know said Daniel. Daniel said, you weren’t afraid of summer, not of spring, why
should you be afraid of the season of death. Will we come back asked Freddie?
Daniel said no one knows. Why do we live if all we do is to fall and die? Daniel
said it is about the moon and the suns, the children and the elderly, the colors
and the skies. That day Daniel let go. He fell effortlessly. Daniel was the last leaf
on the tree. It was bitter cold and the day was very short. He lost his color and
became brittle. At dawn the wind came that took Freddie from his branch. It
didn’t hurt at all, but he felt himself fall. He saw the whole tree for the first time,
how firm and strong it was. It made him proud that he was a part of this. He fell
on a clump of snow and was happy. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He
didn’t know that snow would melt to water and that spring would follow winter.
He didn’t know asleep in the tree and the grounds were already plans for new
leaves.
It’s kind of a metaphor for everything that we do, that life is the grand picture
that we are all a part of. We are all leaves. This is the last time all the seniors
have to do something like this. What we do will pave the way for next year.

Revis participates in a program called Kids Count Too, for families who
have lost someone.
They understand that the big picture of life continues.
It’s ok when we experience the loss of some, but that’s when children and
teenagers can put a perspective together and continue all.
We clap for Revis

success. She found people who aren’t in Key Club in attendance.
Anderson/Max really liked Fall Rally. We made lots of capes. Anderson
feels like there were a lot of things committee members could have done
before hand.
Misti didn’t go to Fall Rally, but she doesn’t understand why the
committee members need to be here. She thinks what we’ve done so far
could’ve been achieved at home.
Sonia said it was a little bit unorganized. She agrees with Misti, in some
aspects.

well.

District Service Project
Jeremy explains how it is really hard to do a district wide service Instead each
club should be paired up with a club from a different division and then we shall
have the whole district have the same project.
Same with the fundraising project. It’ll be too hard to do come together. Instead
we should have the same fundraising project over the whole district. It’ll still show
a sense of community.
Yuth ends Winter Board.
