‘Tis the season to be jolly  !

Hey key Clubbers, It's the season of giving, make an effort to give s little extra this month. The holiday season is a busy time of the year but it can also be the most rewarding. It's the little things that can make the most impact so do a little something special for those around you. It is also time for elections! Have you ever wanted to be our divisions LTG? At our December DCM on the 12th there will be a mandatory meeting for all those interested in the position. Give it a shot, it's a great experience to run for the position. Don't be afraid to try something new, anything can happen when you believe. I hope you all have an amazing Holliday season well spent with family and friends! With Love and Service, Sammy Chu Hey division 21 what is up. Hope you had an amazing thanksgiving and Black Friday. Speaking of Black Friday the PNW district is also having a sale on eliminate merchandise. A beanie and a lanyard for 12$ and a beanie, lanyard, and a t-shirt for only 20$. DCON is approaching, and we need to get stoked about it.

Start gathering chants and gear and be ready to fight. DCON will be on March 16, despite the price I encourage everyone to go because it is a life changing experience. You think century link is loud when the Seahawks play? No the Seattle convention center is loud when key clubbers appear. Anyways have an amazing holidays and stay gold d21.

Hey D21! I know the weather's been really cold lately, but I hope you're staying warm with all the service projects of this season!

The last DCM is an example of our warmth! It was so fun to see everyone and see new faces- but it was also rewarding to make boxes for Operation Christmas Child! This is how we should start getting into the spirit of winter! And it's the winter time, so making blankets, scarves, and easy DIY crafts would be a great service project to do with your clubs.

While you're busy doing your service projects, don't forget about our DECEMBER DCM! It is on the 12th, from 8-10:30 at the Lynnwood Ice Rink! Hope to see you there! Even if you can't skate, it's okay, because that's an excuse to hold someone's hand wink emoticon Hehehe anyway, I hope you guys buzz and stay warm, until the next time I see you guys! smile emoticon With love & service, Sea Choi 6

Hey Key Clubbers!! Great turn out for the Operation Christmas Child DCM!! WE all made a difference in kids just by a simple gift of kindness and care! <3 You all are pretty awesome and I hope you guys can make it to the next DCM: Ice Skating at the Lynnwood Ice Rink around 8pm! Bring your friends because we all knoooww, the MORE the MERRIER. Hopefully some of you guys don't know how to skate...so I won't be the only one...okay and so I can take embarrassing photos of all of you guys fallin' on ya butts. When you guys get there it's $10 for admission but the bright side to that is that the profit will go to the ELIMNATE project and we all know how much we love saving mommies and babies <3. So come support and have a fun time like we, Bumblebees, always do. See you all soon and watch out, I'll have my camera ready and focused on you. (; -Div. Editor

Hey Division 21! We're nearing the end of the year and it's almost time for break! DCON is also approaching so it's a good idea to start planning for it now. I hope you guys did a lot of fundraising this year! It's December so you could do an even revolved around presents! Meadowdale is doing gift wrapping at a local Barnes and Nobles. However, you should do whatever you put your mind to for fundraising! Think outside the box! LTG elections are also coming up! Remember that each club needs to send two delegates to the January DCM to vote for our future LTG! Officer Elections are coming up as well.

Be sure to vote for your officers soon so that you know who to send to DCON. That's where officers get trained! The December DCM is also coming up! Bring your friends ice skating! The more friends that you bring, the more money we can raise for UNICEF! Non key club members are always welcome! The November DCM was also a success! Operation Christmas Child was a success! We wrapped so many boxes for children all over the world at the November DCM! I'm so glad I got to share the gift wrapping experience with everyone!

That's all for this month! Hope to see you at the DCM and have a great month!

December DCM

The DCM experience…Linda Thai, Lynnwood Key Club: “Hey bumblebees!

It's finally that time of the year again! In which little lights sparkle and Christmas decorations glitter all around. Whether it be that warm feeling that runs through you while sipping a nice warm cup of hot chocolate or as you place the final glittery sphere on the tree, winter is simply amazing in every aspect. But what's even more amazing is having the chance to spend time with my favorite division ever ♡ Especially at the November dcm; Operation Christmas Child!! With everyone's help, we were able to wrap and send over 50 boxes to those whom are less fortunate and brighten up the days of 50 kids! From ice breakers to wrapping presents together, I honestly could not of asked for a better division to spend it with smile emoticon You guys are like my warm cup of hot chocolate on a snowy winter day, there's never a dull moment with you all. And I can't wait until the December dcm where we can all fall and embarrass ourselves while ice skating (or maybe it's just me). I hope you guys all come to the dcm so we can have some coolio division bonding time yayayayay”
