Recently
the Capital District Board of Trustees voted to discontinue
the printed version of the Capital Builder. This decision
comes on the heels of a recent survey to which many club
members responded with some excellent arguments both
for and against doing away with the Capital Builder...
The largest Key Club in Division 5A, numbering some 200 enthusiastic
Albemarle High School students, flooded the All-American
Car Wash in Charlottesville several weeks ago to raise money
for the Capital District Key Club's Burma Project. More than
$400 will go to support aid efforts to the south Asian country
that is suffering from political and social distress. Key
Club leader Juliana Zhang explained that the project not
only helped the students learn about international politics
and geography but gave them an opportunity to reach out to
assist kids half way around the world. And they had hours
of fun to boot!
