Deer Corn & Deer Stands Full Line of Hardware And Building Materials Special to the Ledger by David Shivers The Southwest Georgia Home School Associa tion Key Club conducted their annual “Trick or Treat for UNICEF” at the regular luncheon meet ing of the Kiwanis Club of Dougherty County recently. The students collected $272 from the effort, which will benefit the worldwide fight to eliminate neonatal tet anus, a disease that can be fatal to newborns and their mothers in develop ing countries. The club will also be soliciting donations in some neigh borhoods in the commu nity such as Stonebridge. In addition to the “Eliminate Project”, the SGHSA Key Club is ac tive throughout the year in numerous local activ ities. They provide time, labor, and fundraising efforts for things such as Family Day at the Albany Museum of Art, Albany-Dougherty Clean & Beautiful’s “Stash the Trash”, Christmas boxes for clients of the Anchor age, funds for Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, support for the Albany Rescue Mission, helping with Kiwanis DoCo’s holiday pancake break fast and annual Student Art Contest, and comfort gifts for pediatric pa tients at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, among others. The SGHSA Key Club, sponsored by Kiwan is Club of Dougherty County with Mel Al mond as liaison, has also consistently brought home awards from the annual Georgia Kiwanis District Key Club Con vention. Faculty advisor Toni Hatfield thanked the Kiwanians for all they do to support the Key Club, such as provid ing funds for Key Club members to attend the annual state Service & Leadership Conference to be held next Febru ary in Peachtree City. A slideshow of the various Key Club activities was shown and club officers made brief presentations. Hatfield also noted that the $272 collected is enough to save 151 lives through vaccinations.
