CALENDAR & EVENTS FUNDRAISING TAP PROJECT SCRAPBOOK KC PEN PALS DCON 2014 MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, I can’t believe it is Issue #50 already! In a couple of weeks (after DCON), the new editor, Jennifer Wang, will be taking over my position and serving as the 2014-2015 editor. Today is the LAST DAY for fundraising committee applications. We will be going over applications and conducting interviews in the coming week. The end of this week, Pi Day (3.14, get it?) will be Pie-a-Teacher day! If you haven’t already, BUY A RAFFLE TICKET. (We have certain staff members who volunteered that I am sure some of you seniors would love to pie...kidding.) Who knows, maybe you’ll get to pie a teacher on that day? Also, there will be a DCM on March 29th (tentative). I’ll post more details when I get them, but it is MANDATORY for all DCON attendees. We’ll be going over rules, cheers, and socializing with the other Division 26 Key Clubbers. Reanne Wong
