Hi everyone!

Tomorrow is a really important meeting and there are some stuff you need to bring tomorrow.

1. UNICEF Boxes
We are still collecting the boxes. Label it with your full name and homeroom. At the end of the meeting, we'll be counting and you can receive points!

2. Divisional Stuffed Animal Fundraiser Ordering Sheet
We are collecting forms and money for this event that is taking place on Tue. Dec. 20. Ordering ends on Sat. Dec. 10, so we can collect forms this meeting and next meeting. I have attached the form. PLEASE order because if not enough people order, we will not be holding this event. I went to last year's and it was awesome so I recommend you to all go! Great way to meet everyone else in the division.

3. You will be receiving Key Club International Membership Cards
The first batch of cards have arrived for those who have paid your dues. We will be handing them out. Don't worry if yours is not there, it will arrive soon. They also come with a membership handbook that gives you a brief overview of how awesome Key Club is :)

AND AWESOME TURN OUT FOR THE CLUB PHOTO. We were so big that they needed 2 photos of us and we wrapped around the whole auditorium :)

See you tomorrow!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to remind you 3 VERY IMPORTANT things we are collecting/giving out tomorrow at Room 334 after 9th period.

1. DUES - THIS IS THE LAST TIME FOR YOU TO GIVE IN YOUR DUES. TELL FRIENDS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE EMAIL THIS.
$13 in CASH in an envelope labeled with FULL NAME, HOMEROOM, EMAIL, AND OSIS.

2. HOLIDAY CARDS
I have attached a Thanksgiving template but you have the liberty to create your own holiday cards. NO GLITTER and please make sure it is appropriate. We will be giving points for each card you give in. Be sure to bring a piece of paper to hold all the cards together that has your full name, homeroom, email, and number of cards you made. Please write clearly.

3. YEARBOOK PHOTO PASS
We will be handing out passes for Tue. Nov. 29 at 2:40 pm for you to go to the AUD to take our group picture. You MUST have this pass to get out of class. THIS IS IMPORTANT. We will be handing this out this Wed. also.

REMEMBER! And share this with your friends if they do not receive emails.
Victoria Li

Correction: We will be taking the picutre on Tuesday, November 29 at 2:40 pm. not November 19 (which already passed...)

Thanks very much Nina. I am sharing this with students in my science
journalism class and a few other friends.
