IN THIS ISSUE CALENDAR & EVENTS DCON 2014 INFORMATION MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Happy year of the horse! Are you looking forward to your day off and volunteering at the Lunar New Year festival yet? We will be wrapping things up this week with officer speeches and the final deadline for accepting DCON forms. There were many events last week, including the Family Fitness Night, Fight for Air Climb, Children’s Film Fest, and Tet in Seattle. If you participated in one of these events and have pictures, please message me them on Facebook or post them onto the Garfield Key Club group page! I need them for the newsletter and the scrapbook, and I’d really appreciate your help. Speaking of DCON forms, Thursday, January 30th will be the LAST DAY to turn it in! No exceptions, since we need them in by February and the 31st is a no school day. Please pay in cash or write ONE check to Garfield High School Key Club. If you have any questions about registration, please talk to an officer as soon as possible. I will keep you posted about the February DCM when new details are released. Good luck with finals! Reanne Wong
