held in Orlando, Florida as a "Leader of Leaders" among 32 Florida Key
Club Lieutenant Governors. Kadi commented:
"One of my main goals at the beginning of the year was to be recognised
at Convention.
"In the past the Cayman Key Clubs were not given very much visibility or
recognition.
"This year our clubs worked hard and received the recognition they
deserved. I'm so excited that we had such a great year."
Ms Merren attended the convention with 40 fellow Key Club members and
seven advisors, all representing Grand Cayman. Active Key Clubs
included John Gray, George Hicks, Triple C, St Ignatius, and Cayman
Prep High schools.

at the International Convention in July, 2004.

Achievement," commented Triple C School Director, Marjorie Ebanks. "I'm
not surprised at her continued success with Key Club."
During the convention, she was thrilled to be asked to introduce the
Governor of the Florida Key Club, Mo Coffey, at the opening ceremonies.
She was also awarded with a "Super Hero" trophy for her service as
Lieutenant Governor.

be among such nice students who are so highly-motivated and work hard
to succeed.

experience."

activities and lead Key Club members from all five clubs in Cayman.
