MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Continue to bid on officers for Officer Date Night (Dec. 19th)! Peppermint bark is also going on; stop on by to get some or help us sell! The more the merrier AND you get half the hours you helped to sell (which go towards DCON). Join in on the Peppermint Bark action! In other news, Division 26 will be hosting a SKATE TO ELIMINATE DCM; for those of you interested in going, it’s $10 a person with half the funds going towards the ELIMINATE project.. As always, thanks for reading the bulletin and try and stay dry folks!
