KEY CLUBS AND THE SALVATION ARMY

Amber Danek is the most amazing Key Club Faculty Advisor at Farmington High.  She just sent us this message:  ALL the Key Clubs (PV, FHS, Rocinate, Aztec, and Gallup) in our District have adopted three families with the Salvation Army.  We are purchasing clothes, toys, and food for these families.  

Lori Monteverdi has submitted her application for membership and has been approved by the Board. She will be inducted as her earliest convenience. Her sponsor is Jill.

Bring in 5 new members you are eligible for a Ruby Award pin. Simply keep up with how many members you’ve brought in and then let the Membership chair or Club Secretary knows so your pin can be ordered and awarded to you.

Another Volunteer Opportunity!!  If you’re in the Holiday Spirit and would like to volunteer to ring the bell for the Salvation Army, please contact Lt. Christopher Rockwell. It’s more fun with a friend or family member.
