MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, AP tests are right around the corner ahhhhhh!! It’s time to knuckle down and study, study, study! But even though AP season is here, managing your time and signing up for events is just as important. And did I mention getting those hours for DCON? Honestly, I think I’m still experiencing some post-DCON syndrome… We have a lot of new events for May AFTER AP’s so there’s absolutely no reason not to sign up and get those service hours! A big event to plan on going to is Relay for Life. The event will be held at Seattle University and we’ll be running as a group. Attending this is could get you 24 hours so mark your calendars guys!
