Editor’s Message Happy New Year Monsters, A new year a new you right? Or at least that’s how the theory goes...often times people neglect their resolutions but I have an easy list that I aspire to follow and I recommend you guys do too! 1. Attend more service and social events. 2. Create something for the Great Wall of Spirit. 3. Study harder and stay healthy. 4. Go to more Key Club meetings. This list is much easier then a “get fit” resolution or a “suddenly get straight A’s” resolution. You guys can easily do these things by going on the forums, signing up, and going through with your sign up! I also recommend you guys consider the different Key Club leadership positions since it’s a new year. What will you guys try out for? What suits you guys the most? I encourage all of you guys to try something new out this year! Now with this list of resolutions I’ll leave you guys to follow them. I hope to see you guys be even more active in the club and I look forward to watching you guys grow and change the world, one event and one kind act at a time. In service and friendship, Eileen Eto
