The value of starting a club is, by itself, minimal: what gets attention is what you have done over a period of time- the impact you have made, the impact it has made on you. . Moreover, there is the question of what happens after you leave for college- starting something and doing it for the year that it helps you doesn’t say either ‘commitment’ or ‘service’ very clearly. Continue / double down on what you have been doing.

Re: LoRs- if your school policy is that you ask in the autumn, no worries. What you can do this summer is work on what your narrative arc is for your applications, so that you can give the people writing your LoRs better guidance on what you are looking for from your college applications, what you want to highlight, etc.
