What’s new? MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, We’ll be starting the bidding for officers at this meeting! The bidding sheets will be available during this time (more details at the meeting—ask officers if you have any questions!). 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! As always, thanks for reading the bulletin and try and stay warm folks!
