WOW! I cannot believe that it is already March. That means that we only have a month left together. Time has flown by, and it seems like yesterday that I was presenting at Rachel’s March DCM. With that said, keep in mind that our LAST DCM will be on March 12th. PLEASE make your best effort to come, it’ll be the last time we’re all together. Also, DCON Early Bird Registration ends on March 26th, so make sure you register! If you need help with ANYTHING, please let me know. I want to help you or atleast a few members get to DCON, so that they can take that knowledge back to your home club. Register online! Keep going strong, you guys are doing absolutely great! Make sure to send me any officer elect contact information! Yours in Service, Cheryl Li

They have been attending DCMs throughout the year, so maybe you know them already. If you have any tips, please get in contact with them! The presidents are Norman and Gary Wang.
March DCM The last DCM of the year will be on March 12th! Come out and make our last gathering very special. In addition, please bring your new officer board!

On March 8th, support the Children’s Miracle Network by participating in National Pancake Day! Explain to friends and family that this is a fundraiser to support the Children’s Miracle Network, which helps kids in local hospitals. Donations that individuals leave for their free stack of pancakes goes towards CMN and makes their achievements possible!
