but im glad u were able to move on from the ICON elections

although, it is kinda mis-representing yourself to list club awards as your own achievements (although to be honest you probably worked the hardest for them)

Actually, Live to Read was started as an organization outside of Key Club, based more towards the community at large. Same with Earcandy4hungry. Both these organizations were founded and ran by me and affiliated with organizations other than Key Club.
In addition, I signed up for the Key Club International YOF as an individual recipient.
Next time you would like to critique the validity of my credentials, please PM me.

And of course, the title of the project as listed in my profile is, in fact, "Live to Read," not "Live to Learn." This was a school-sponsored project with affiliation with the Half-Pint Library program.
I find it prudent to spread my wings beyond a single organization, as you can see.

We could discuss this over PM, if you would like. I would be glad to clear up any and all misunderstandings with additional proof, if necessary. | |

cty is amazing :]
For summer activities and volunteer work, should we just put them down in the 'activities' section? I was under the impression that section was only for EC's.
btw samsunimomo...all I can say is that I can't imagine someone with better qualifications than you haha
