The Dexter Key Club is also anticipating their trip to Denver to the Key Club International Convention from July 9-14th. President Megan Crane, Youth Coordinator Katie Eastman, Treasurer Rebecca Warren, Sophomore Director Jake Sherburne and Callie Theodore will be attending with Advisor Rick Whitney. The Dexter club has not been to International (ICON) in two years and we are taking our "Hats for Bekah" Single Service Award to International for an award. There are workshops and a fabulous service fair, where we can learn of many new possibilities in fundraising and service. The trip is very expensive costing about $1,000 apiece. Each person attending is paying one third of the cost and the club is planning fundraisers to help defray the cost, but anyone wishing to help the club with a donation can do so by sending checks to the Dexter High School Key Club, 12 Abbott Hill Road, Dexter, Me. 04930.
