Editor’s Note Hello hello key-uites! Welcome to my December newsletter! Winter break is almost here which means it’s time from my favorite holiday, Christmas! And with Christmas coming around, we’re having lots of events that involve gift wrapping, think of it like the concessions of winter. Also, we’re having officer elections soon! Which means our term is slowly coming to an end and my newsletters only have a few issues left. Take the time to consider running, it never hurt to try and you can help with something higher in key club! I hope you clubbers have an awesome winter break and I’ll see you in the next newsletter! ♡ In love and service, Kayla Calso
Presidents Letter Hello hello Key Clubbers, The month of November made me think about how thankful I am for Key Club. This club and members have changed my life for the better. I have learned so much from this club and I’m grateful and thankful for everyone within Key Club because you all are helping out the community and doing it so passionately. You may have had a reason to join the club but I’m pretty sure you’ve stayed with the club because you’ve grown to love it! Thank you all for deciding to give Key Club a try and sticking around and I hope you stay until the end of your high school career. On another note, I apologize for not having a club meeting in so long but I have good news for you all! Elections is coming up very soon! Officer applications are going to be posted up and they’re due on December 21st. You will need to complete the application with your own knowledge and help from the Key Club website. You may NOT ask an officer for the answers. Also, you cannot promote for others to vote for you. Any actions that go against these rules will have consequences. Elections will be after our club meeting on Thursday, January 6th. It is a semi-formal elections which means that candidate will need to dress up but members not running do not need to dress up. An another important detail about elections if that….ONLY PAID MEMBERS CAN VOTE! There will be more information posted about elections once the date gets closer. Another exciting thing coming up is DCON! DCON is District Convention in Portland this year from March 16th - 18th. This is a convention with a whole bunch of Key Clubbers from all over the PNW. It is like a celebration of service within a weekend of bonding and workshops along with a dance (Governor’s Ball) and sessions. It is an AMAZING experience. The minimum requirements for DCON are 30 community service hours and 4 fundraisers. These are just the MINIMUM requirements so you should aim to get more hours and fundraisers if you’re able to because if you have more hours and fundraisers, you are more likely to go to DCON. More information will also be explained once the date gets closer like the price and transportation. In love and service, Lexie Lam
