Our Sponsored Youth:

Welcome to Eric Fithyan as the Key Club Div. One Lt. Governor for 2001-2002.  

We have 7 active sponsored youth clubs for 2001.  These clubs are very active and represent an example to all youth with their volunteer activities in the community.

Our newest S.Y. club was recently chartered in April 2002, and will make the 8th club we sponsor:  Mount de Chantal Builders Club.  We're proud of the Mount!!!  This club for middle school students will feed into the Mount Key Club.

When news reports are available, we like to feature them here on our website.  We encourage all the sponsored youth clubs to send us their news to:
