Hello!

It’s me… Your LTG Hi Division 34!

Happy Holidays!

Almost 4 months into the school year and 9 months into the Key Club year! I hope your month has been a blast! The winter time is a great time for service events! I can’t wait to see all the pictures and reports of members bell ringing and caroling! Make sure to bundle up!

I hope to see everyone at our next few DCMs and other events DCON is *gasp* 3 months away! Don’t forget to order your Divisional T-Shirt and vote for DCON Spirit Gear!

It’s been an honor to serve you and represent such an amazing division! As The holiday season comes around I can’t but feel as if my Christmas wish has come true! A division as wonderful Division 34!

In Caring and Service,

Angela Shin

Happy holidays Sharks!

I hope you are all having a wonderful time being around each other and getting holiday service events in. If you haven't noticed, outside its been pretty brisky, so if you have a service event outside make sure to dress warm, have fun, and take some cool pictures of you guys volunteering.

Once your done, make sure to send your picture to Kaitlan, so she can put them in them on social media and the newsletter!

Other than that, election times are coming around and I want to wish you all the best of luck in your running for office.

Divisional Editor,

Micow Ly

Kaitlan here, and full of Christmas cheer! I am so excited for the holidays, and I can't wait for the December DCM and the other winter events!! It is always so great to see you guys, and I'm pumped to see what y'all have going on.

If your club has a holiday party or any holiday service events, I definitely want to see those pictures! Don’t hesitate to send them in! Lots of love to all of you, and have a sharktastic New Year!
