KEY
CLUB IS HOMELESS AGAIN
“Caring for their community is their motto and
service through leadership is their vision.”
These students and about 17 others spent
a night on the ground as part of the Key Club’s “Be
Homeless” fundraiser for Maureen’s Haven.
(October
2005) To draw attention to the issue of homelessness on
Long Island and to raise funds for Maureen’s Haven,
a program sponsored by the Peconic Community Council, the
RHS Key Club held its second annual “Be Homeless”
evening.
The members of Key Club found and decorated large boxes,
brought blankets, sleeping bags and pillows from home and
camped out in the high school’s inner courtyard for
an evening. The campout was preceded by a pizza party and
a jam session, but when the clock struck midnight, out they
went into the raw October evening and in the process gained
a new outlook on what some homelsess individuals have to
deal with every day on Long Island.
The students were able to raise $1,100 for Maureen’s
Haven and hopefully some awareness about the growing problem
of hunger and homelessness on the East End.
