Halloweeeeeen!
Division 44, My initial goal of uniting the division through service is well on the way to success, and I cannot express how proud I am of the schools that have already started working together. Also, having seen the success of the Nepal Fundraiser, and all of your efforts to raise a massive amount of money in one short week, I now have another goal. I want our Division to raise $1000 for The Eliminate Project? Think that’s outrageous? Guess what? We’ve already raised over $470! We can do it. In caring and service, Stuart Sardo

Hey Beastly Butterflies, I hope the first month of school hasn’t been too horrible for everyone. Can you believe it’s already October? Everyone is gearing up for another successful Trick-Or-Treat, and it’s nice to see member participation increasing! On a different note, guess what rhymes with the sound cows make… DUES! The deadline is NOVEMBER 1st, so be sure to go pay your dues so that your club’s treasurers can get you entered in the Membership Update Center! Why you may ask? To get better seats at DCON of course! I look forward to seeing you all at the fun DCM this month

How can I be a part of Trick-orTreat for UNICEF?
1.Get some friends who would be interested in this 2.Talk to your club officer about signing up for a box
3. Go out before Halloween and ask people—your friends, your family, your neighbors, your dog—for donations and tell them 13 what it’s for
4. Go out on Halloween night, and go door to door asking for donations— preferably in a safe neighborhood… 5. Give the funds raised back to your club officers (after you’ve counted it)
6. Watch MNT get eliminated!
