MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, So not as many of you are showing up to the meetings and it makes me sad  Key Club is always more fun with friends, so why not bring a friend to the meetings, hang out, and increase attendance? And speaking of attendance, Garfield hasn’t been doing so well on the Rainbow Board lately, so let’s make it a goal and be more involved within the club AND the division! With that said, there are several upcoming divisional/multidivisional events I hope you can make it to. On a brighter note, the cold, winter months are some of the best months for a Key Clubber! As you can see from the cover page, the volunteers had a lot of fun at the LiHi auction. There are definitely a lot of fun holiday events that we get to do, including annual favorites such as the ice skating DCM, giftwrapping, Jingle Bell walk/run, and much, much more. In addition, there will be delicious fundraisers to help benefit our club. Currently, we are planning on selling doughnuts and peppermint bark, so I’ll keep everyone posted on when we will start making and selling! -Reanne Wong
