Spectrum Dance Theater Gala GIVING BACK TO WHAT YOU LOVE At the Spectrum Dance Theater Gala event on Saturday, Key Clubbers participated in their auction duties to assist in the silent auction, live auction, and dinner to raise money for programs at Spectrum Dance Theater. However, this event was different from most. In fact, it has a personal connection to member Lilia Deering, who suggested that Key Clubbers volunteer at the Gala. “Spectrum Dance Theater is where I’ve studied since I was nine,” says Deering, who is a sophomore. “For the last few years I’ve volunteered at [the Gala], there is always a lot to do. Plus, I wanted to give fellow Key Clubbers [a chance] to see me dance.”

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Happy April! I hope you all liked my first bulletin, and thank you to those who provided feedback. We still need volunteers for the First Place event on Saturday. It’s very laidback (and there’s food), so I encourage you to sign up if you are free that day. Remember to take pictures at events and let me know that you have, so we can use them in the bulletin and scrapbook. Also, congratulations on exceeding the 600 hour goal—we will be having an ice cream party in the near future. Stay tuned for more events, and enjoy the beautiful sunshine while it lasts! -Reanne Wong
