Please bring QUARTERS to the Key Club meeting tomorrow to donate to the Rady Children's Hospital!
KEY CLUBS - Make sure you come down early and get your Quarter Art completed by 1 pm. ALL clubs are welcome . .and no pre-registration is required. Show up, check-in, and get to work on your quarter art and possibly your club could be this year's winner!
BRING YOUR DONATIONS IN QUARTERS! Please make sure your club brings your donation down in quarters and make sure you have a team to lay the quarters out on the front part of the carpet.
Clubs can come at ANY time this year to place their donations on the carpet!
CLEAN-UP . . . . we can use a number of folks to help us at the end of the day when we pick up the quarters and bag them for counting. This will happen at 2 pm; so please plan to stick around and assist us. Bring a shovel if you can - this helps in scooping up the quarters.

Bracelets for Noah!
No One As Heroic = Noah!
Noah Severns is a fourth grader at Del Mar Hills Academy of Art & Sciences who was diagnosed with Osteoscarcoma (a type of bone cancer) at age 6. He underwent surgerty to remove the cancerous part of his skull and had a plate implanted to protect his brain.
Over the course of the last three yeras, Noah has needed numerous transfusions of platelets and whole blood during subsequent surgeries to remove the cancer that had spread to his lungs. This past summer, Noah underwent a cricical surgery to remove the plate in his head and replace it with muscle from his stomach to increase the blood flow and prevent infection. More recently, Noah ahs been undergoing a stronger chemotherapy but still has managed to make it to school every day.
After 11 surgeries and ongoing chemotherapy treatments, Noah is still a smiling boy and a true inspiration! Support Noah by purchasing a bracelet for $5 (it is a green bracelet that says No One As Heroic for his name).
