The club had fallen inactive, last meeting in 2015. West received a letter from Key Clubs saying that the charter given to West was going to be cancelled unless the club was reinstated. After no one stepped forward to help reform the Key Club, Lakins volunteered along with Cooper, who was in her first year at West after teaching in Greene County.
