MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Get ready for the meeting, cause we’re going to be playing some games! Introduce yourself to others at the meeting and make some new friends (isn’t that why we’re all here?). With that in mind, sign up for some new events this week! Bunka no Hi is going on next Sunday but if you can’t make it that day then sign up for the set up on Saturday! If you want something a little later down the line, sign up for the Green Lake Gobble (23rd). Stay warm, dry, and healthy Key Clubbers!
