Hey Key Clubbers! PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME I LOVE TO TALK TO YOU GUYS; TALK TO ME ABOUT AS A FRIEND OR AS YOUR LTG, JUST KEEP IN TOUCH :) MAKE SURE YOU COME TO THE DIVISION 17 DCMS If you have your new current officers, please send me contact information, including PERSONAL PHONE NUMBERS AND PERSONAL EMAILS. The reason why personal emails and numbers are preferable are because school emails sometimes block messages. They also tend to get lost. Please contact me if you have any other questions, or if you'd like to talk about anything. The Division 17 GroupMe is linked at the end of the newsletter; members and officers alike are free to join! Yours in Friendship and Service, Caysey Tran Letter from the LTG 3 Caysey and (Lendell 22-23 CL) at LEDCon cayseytran (405) 541-4776 ltg17@tokeyclub.com cayseytran
