Letter from the LTG

Hey Key Clubbers!

cayseytran cayseytran

I understand I have sent this message multiple times, but considering I still have basically an ENTIRE club missing, I still need to send reminders.

If you have your 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.

(405) 541-4776 ltg17@tokeyclub.com

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
