Daphne Uhler

It’s time to get ready for Trick-orTreat for UNICEF! If your club participated in the project last year, you should either be receiving or already have received a package of money boxes for this year. If your club hasn’t previously done it and would like to, go to the keyclub.org and order a box for no cost. You will need our club ID number and name, which can be found in the interactive map on the pnwkeyclub.org website. The keyclub.org website also has other fundraising ideas having to do with Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF.
