Spaghetti fundraiser
a success for student service group
Greenville High School Key Club…
By Bob Robinson
GHS Key Club held its first fundraising event of the year, and one of
its most successful ever, courtesy of the First United Methodist Church
in Greenville. It was a student-organized and prepared spaghetti dinner.
“The food was great,” said Kiwanis President Mike Snyder. “They really
did a good job this evening.”
He was first in line, then supported by other Kiwanians throughout the
evening. Greenville Kiwanis is the sponsoring organization for the Key
Club. Also enjoying the student-prepared dinner were family, friends,
community members and Darke County Commissioner Diane Delaplane and her
family.
The club has been preparing for the fundraiser for several months.
About a dozen members showed up about 10 a.m. Saturday and worked
throughout the day preparing the food and setting up the church’s
basement dining area. Among the young workers were three officers in
Key Club International, all GHS students: Mariah Reitz, KCI Ohio
District Secretary, Natasha Swank, 2011-12 Div. 3 Lt. Gov., and Darpan
Kaur, 2012-13 Div. 3 Lt. Gov.
Dinner was served for ticket-holders and walk-ins from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
More than 100 tickets were sold and, throughout the 4-hour period, Key
Clubbers served nearly two dozen “walk-in” meals. Desserts – many
homemade – were available to wrap up the meal or take home.
Dylan Hoover, Greenville High School IMTV, was there to do video work
for the GHS student web site, Digital Waves.
Joe Payne, pastor at First United Methodist and past-president of
Greenville Kiwanis, said he was happy to offer their location to the
club.
“They’ve been working hard and have done a good job,” he said.
GHS Key Club is a student-run community service organization. While its
purpose is to serve the community in a variety of ways, the club also
raises funds to help support charities and local members attending
District events. This year’s Key Club officers are: Claire Sherman,
president, Scott Wirrig, vice president, Dan Cox, treasurer, Pankti
Bhavsar and Cierra Whitesell, co-secretaries, and Jenilee Braun,
newsletter editor.
