GARFIELD HS KEY CLUB

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Key Clubbers, Reminders: don’t forget to register for Key Club at the meeting (registration is now $16), mark your calendars for the DCM on the 25th of this month, and sign up for the Blood Drive that’s on the 30th if you want to. Ask an officer if you have questions about any of these things! COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN: 9 DAYS!! What will you be doing that day? Maybe Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF? Help raise some money this Halloween for children in need—the one who raises the most will get a $5 Starbucks giftcard, a lanyard, bragging rights, and the satisfaction of helping our your fellow man! As always, hope to see y’all at the meetings!

OUR CLUB’S FUNDRAISING GOAL IS $300!! The one

who raises the most money will receive a $5

Starbucks gift card, a lanyard, and the satisfaction

from helping save a child’s life!

What is it?

Fundraising to save children in need; thousands of

children under the age of five die every day because

they lack proper nutrition, safe drinking water,

affordable vaccines, and other basic necessities.
