if you need help filling out the dkc application...

THEN YOU ARE IN LUCK!!
We realized that most of you might not know what requirements you fulfill so we're gonna break it down for you in this very helpful email.  Or maybe you guys don't know just because you're scared to ask us for help (even though we are far from scary).  Under each project or question, we will list events/projects that we did this year that qualify for that question.  Any events from 2007 - now can be used in the DKC. If we left any out, you can certainly use them!
