Fall Rally North at Great America

On the 24th, we will be attending a Key Club event held at Great America. Anyone who wants an excuse to go to Great America should contact us. When all the Key Clubbers are meeting and fund raising, the park will be open and line-free! Tickets are $40 per person and come with an endless drink armband.

Key Leader

Anyone interested in becoming an officer in the club should seriously consider attending this retreat. It is an overnight event that spans from Friday to Sunday. We will be working on reducing the cost for anyone who wants to go through Kiwanis sponsorship and fund raising. For more specifics, just ask! More information will be going out later.
We will have pizza at meetings from this point on, so tell your friends to drop by! Just remember – Thursdays in room 15.

Date: April 19th

Location: Valero Gas Station – 340 Highland Ave. Piedmont, CA

Time: 10AM-4PM

Most car soaps hurt the environment. Even those claiming to be biodegradable require the car to be washed over a plot of dirt or a lawn to truly break down- something they don’t tell you. The soap washes into the storm drains, and ends up in our local Lake Merritt where it harms plants and animals.

The Key Club has found a product created by Green Earth Technologies that is 100% eco friendly. It does not contain soap, but instead uses natural substances to break apart dirt. Come down to Valero to support a greener future, one step at a time!

 Welcome to the Piedmont Key Club official website!

Good luck to all club members this week! Finals are no fun, but they only make doing service seem so much better!

This Saturday, we will be helping out at the Special Olympics bowling tournament hosted by the Alameda Kiwanis. To sign up, email us at officers@piedmontkeyclub.org

Haha why are you reading this, you have better things to do.

Tickets are $40, an $11.99 discount off of the regular price. Have fun and help the local watershed at the same time!

When: October 25th, 10AM-5:30PM

Why: Fun! $9 of every ticket sold go to the Lake Merritt Institute.

How: To sign up, email us at officers@piedmontkeyclub.org or drop in at one of our meetings every Thursday at lunch in room 31.

Date/Time : Sunday, September 28th from 10AM-3PM

Location : Valero Gas Station, 340 Highland Ave. Piedmont CA 94611

Why Green?

Washing you car might seem like a harmless chore, but the soap that runs down the storm drain is not treated. Instead of going to a sewage plant, that soapy water proceeds straight into Lake Merritt, where it harms the plants and animals that call the lake home.

What seperates our car wash from others is our choice of soap- or to be more accurate, lack of soap. The product we are using does the work of regular car wash solutions with one difference: it is 100% eco friendly. That’s right, it is completely safe to wash down the storm drain.

Help support the spread of a green lifestyle by getting your car washed in an eco friendly way!

Recent news includes the ever successful meeting with the Oakland Kiwanis and the near completion of the Lake Merritt Documentary. More news to come later!
