I received the e-mail from the class of 95 KC prez and she received it from the class of 94 KC prez. I forwarded it on to the 97 and 98 prez' as well as other key clubbers on facebook.
Voila! Instant reunion! :)
There were former key clubbers from the 70s, 80s and 90s, as well as current key clubbers. We took a group pic, but I still need to get a copy of it.
It was so great to see people I hadn't seen in a really long time. And all my favorite Kiwanians were there, too. They looked exactly the same! The memories just flooded back and I was transported back to high school.
One of the alums from the 70s is the general manager of the local Chili's, so our faculty advisor, Mr. Putnam, suggested we meet there after the dinner. And so we did. Mr. Putnam was a hard ass, strict and tough, so it was crazy weird to see him relaxed and drinking. It was so fun! He was spilling the beans, revealing information. It was great! We kept passing him drinks. ;)
It was just super nice to see old friends and get reacquainted. Now there's talk of nominating Mr Baum for the highest award that can be given within Key Club International and holding a special banquet for him and this time, getting as many former key clubbers as possible together.
Key Club is the foundation of everything I do. Everything I do, who I am, is all because of Key Club and the Kiwanians.
I'm beginning to think it's time to go back to my roots....
With the honoree, Mr. Baum
With one of my favorite Kiwanians, Joann
With my other favorite Kiwanian, Amalia
