Division 44, Congratulations everyone! With the Trick-OrTreat for UNICEF donations our Division well exceeded our $1,000 goal! However we still need to do our part to reach the District goal of $75,000! With DCON coming around, I want our Division to see a major increase in attendance, so we can show our Division 44 pride and all of us can bring back what we learn at DCON to our home, school, and community. In caring and service,
Stuart Sardo

Merry December 44! I don’t know about you, but I am really getting into the spirit of the holidays‌ and not just because of peppermint mochas. The holidays are a time of great need for many people and families everywhere, so it is a time where as Key Clubbers it is our duty to really help out our community. Talk to your officers if you have ideas to do this. Also, stay tuned to your officers and I as we send out updates regarding DCON and Lt. G and officer elections.
