MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Happy February!

Thankfully, the grueling week of finals is over. Hopefully, you have all settled into your new classes and are looking forward to the new Key Club events and the fact that District Convention 2014 is less than two months away! Are you excited yet?

Last week, we elected officers for the following positions: Emily Wong – President, Reanne Wong – Vice President, Lynda Nguyen-Treasurer, and Cindy Lam – Fundraising Chair When all the officers for the 2014-2015 year, I will include more information so you all can get to know them better. The speeches for secretary will be made today, so the results should be out soon!

Also, according to Philip’s newsletter last month, the DCM is supposed to be on February 8th. I haven’t received any details about it yet, so I will let you know once there is more information!
