Fowarded below is a message from our Vice-President Melissa Mcgrath--

Steff Springer's goal for the NYD Advocacy Committee branch is 5,000 letters district-wide. As a NYD Key Club we should speak up for what we believe in in order to see change! We have every right to contact those in ranks above us, such as the government, that could put these changes into affect.

By contacting our government officials and other community leaders we learn a feeling of responsibility, growth, morality, and change for the world. The first step to change is being aware and letting your voice be heard. So, stand up and be counted, help Steff reach her goal by the end of this Key Club year in March!

Here is a message from our webmaster (a.k.a. me!)

If you don't own a printer or it's not working, save a copy of the letter and foward an attachment to my email address getagripp@optonline.net and I will give it to the secretary for you.
