CALENDAR EVENTS DCM (PRECON) BOOK DRIVE TAP PROJECT PEN PALS SCRAPBOOK DCON 2014 MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Happy HSPE week! Key Club is launching a book drive this week. While the sophomores are busily test-taking, why not scavenge your house for a couple of old children’s book? If you find some, donate them to our book drive and receive and (sweet) treat! Also, congratulations to Tina Phan for being last month’s Member of the Month! She received a gift card to Starbucks. In case you don’t know, MoM is a system for keeping track of participation (kind of like Rainbow Board Points at the club level). MoM points can be earned through attending meetings, volunteering, attending DCMs, and so forth. Winner with the most points at the end of each month receives a prize! If you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes: We are reviewing fundraising committee applications and should have a committee assembled by before DCON. Keep your fingers crossed and good luck, applicants! Reanne Wong
