Thanks to an amazing member, I was reminded that we will be collecting
canned foods at Induction!
Bring by canned foods from 5pm to 7:30pm Thursday night to the UC
Auditorium (Nov. 21).
Also, we will be inducting Knoxville's Second Harvest Food Bank as an
Honorary Member of Golden Key to show our support for feeding the homeless,
Golden Key's service initiative this year. We will be presenting the
canned foods that we raise, so please bring as many as you can! We want to
make a good impression and show our support!
Thanks, GK!
