MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, It’s the first day of October—you know what time it is? The Blood Drive! Teamed up with the Black Student Union, we ask for your help to donate blood to those who need it! To those of you who couldn’t make it to last week’s DCM, shaaaaaame (jk, you know I love you guys!). For this October, we will be hosting the DCM so definitely look forward to it and attend if you can! Date and place TBD. This week at the meeting we’ll be raffling off a $5 Starbucks gift card as well as registering people in. Don’t be shy to talk to us—hope to get to know ALL of you by the next few meetings!

Blood DRIVE This year Key Club and BSU are teaming up to help out the blood drive! Are you skeptical about donating blood? Scared because it’s your first time? Here are some facts to keep in mind when deciding to donate:
The actual donation takes about 5-15 minutes; the rest of the time is for hydrating yourself (plus, free snacks!) 900 people DAILY require blood in Western Washington alone Every pint donated can help save up to 3 lives!!
Additional requirements: o Must be 114lbs (male) or 125lbs (female) if under the age of 18 (minimum age to donate is 16) o Must EAT a hearty meal & DRINK plenty of fluids 24~48 hours prior to donating
Donate on October 30th in the gym. Ask officers of Key Club or BSU for the forms! 3
