GARFIELD HS KEY CLUB

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Key Clubbers, Hey Key Clubbers!! It’s Peppermint Bark Season again! Around this time of year, Key Club makes and sells Peppermint Bark to raise money for DCON and fundraising for charity—ask officers if you want to purchase any! We’ll also start our popular get-together: OFFICER DATE NIGHT!!! Members (or other officers) can bet on officers and the highest bidder gets to hang with the officer (date TBD). Ask our officers at the club meeting for more deats about the event; I assure you, it’s less sketch than it actually sounds. Another announcement for this bulletin is UNICEF winners (sorry they’re a little late!!). Congrats to those who raised money—you definitely made a difference in the world. As always, stay warm, dry, and healthy Key Clubbers!

~Jennifer Wang
