Officer Date Night!

Shirlee’s House December 27th (Friday) 5:00pm-8:00pm Officer Date Night is an annual Key Club fundraiser where you can bid on an officer to go on a date/hang out with them for an evening! Dinner is included and fun activities are to follow.

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, I hope you’ve enjoyed the events we’ve had these past few weeks! I know I had a LOT of fun making peppermint bark with the officers and ice skating this past weekend. More pictures to come in the following issue so you can read it over winter break—HUGE shout out to Tran, Angel and her fancy camera, Lynda, and everyone else who has been taking pictures and sending them in! You can always send pictures and questions to garfieldkeyclub@gmail.com.

Remember to sign up for new events at the meetings! The DCON hours deadline is fast approaching and it’ll be here before you know it. You definitely don’t want to miss out.

Good luck with exams and early action letters this week: may the odds be ever in your favor!
