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, Guess what? We have a new officer on our committee! Shirlee Wang will now be helping the existing officers out with various fundraising shenanigans. She will be letting us use her house for the Officer Date Night fundraiser, which is a fundraiser you should definitely plan on bidding on! I know it seems like we’ve been doing LOADS of fundraisers recently, but at around 107 registered members, our club takes a lot of time and resources to stay afloat. If you have cooking/baking skills, definitely try to make some peppermint bark to sell or bake some cupcakes for the IDCCC Winter Wonderland event.

We have several events coming up this weekend, including the Harborview Children’s Party, caroling, the ice skating event, and the Let it Eliminate Benefit! You definitely do not need previous skating experience (I don’t either), and you can totally invite your non-Key Club friends to come. Maybe you can find someone cute there to hold your hand so you won’t fall? I’ll see you there on Saturday!
