Announcements
Key Club Food Drive
Despite the Herculean effort of the Culinary Arts Dept who donated 1002 food goods to the Diman Key Club Annual Food Drive, they were edged out by the small but determined Electronics shop by a mere 79 food items for a total donation of 1081 canned goods and non-perishable! Third place went to HVAC with Dental Assisting right on their heels.

The Diman Key Club would like to thank everyone who participated in the food drive by donating a turkey, money, food, and time. Special thanks to HVAC and the cafeteria for storing over 80 turkeys and the Culinary Arts Dept. for providing fresh baked pies for every basket. These are the acts that reflect the beauty and warmth of the season.
