A Message From Your TP Salutations!

My name is Alina Dam, and I am so honored to have been appointed as your next District Technology Producer! I cannot wait to embark on this Key Club journey with y'all as the new 2020-2021 term has already begun!

I have many goals this year as your next TP (it's a pretty funny abbreviation if I do say so myself) that I will break up each month.

These goals will be listed on Page 4. As the year progresses, I will try to check off more and more of my goals, and the reason why I am sharing them with y'all is so that y'all can keep me accountable. If you have anything else that you'd like to see me do, don't hesitate to reach out and let me know!

Each month, I will send out a newsletter and update like this to keep y'all informed of my monthly whereabouts and duties. This month, I have quite a few assignments for y'all. They are all pretty short, so they shouldn't take you that long to complete.

Again, I am super excited to work with y'all this year. If you ever have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to ask!

With a passion to serve, Alina Dam

P.S. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I am always here to help if you need me. I love helping out with Canva, MailChimp, Instagram, Issuu, designing graphics, building websites, acing the SAT math sections, buying stationery, etc.
