The Problem

We would like senior citizens in our community to feel involved and get active. Last year we did a Senior Prom for Seniors and it was amazing! We were awarded a $600 grant to complete the project and we would like to do it again but we need grant money in order to do it.

Why It's Important

It is important because social interactions between senior citizens and high school students are very few. These two groups can learn a lot from each other.

The Plan Of Action

We form a committee of Key Club members to work on the project. They will secure a location, band, begin to advertise and plan activities.

How Can Others Get Involved?

We always need volunteers the night of the event.
