10/28/13 Meeting

Today's agenda:

1. We have officially reserved a spot at Souplantation for our fundraiser on November 26th (Tuesday), from 5:00 ~ 8:00 PM. The flyer is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6p-wytsVtzYdGZCT0dQeTcwN3M/edit?usp=sharing. Feel free to print it out yourself! You don't have to though, we will be handing physical copies to you guys soon. The file will be uploaded here and under Resources just in case you lose the physical copy that we're going to give you.

Invite your family and friends! Let's make it a blast.

2. Halloween is this Thursday! You know what that means - it's time to officially Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Please make sure to be polite. We will be collecting boxes sometime next month, so you are able to continue to fill up those boxes until the collection date (we'll let you know soon).

3. NEW MEMBERS! Welcome to the club! Please follow these instructions:

• If you have a Facebook, please join our Facebook Group (click here)!
• To become an official member of UNICEF, you must sign up on Action Center (click here).
• Once you have made an account on Action Center, join Valencia High School's group page (click here). Ceridwen will approve your request as soon as she can.
• Make sure that you get an email from us by tonight; if not, please email us with your full name and grade here: valenciaUNICEF@gmail.com.
• You must earn a minimum of twenty hours this semester. Don't worry, it isn't going to be as hard as it sounds. We have some awesome fundraisers and we'll be giving out lots of hours! Through Trick-or-Treat, you can earn one hour for each box. But, if you are interested in receiving a PVSA certification (for more information, click PVSA at the top of the page), the minimum will be fifty hours per semester (or, just 100 hours in total this entire year for at least the bronze award). To download an hour sheet, click Resources at the top of the page. Hour sheets will be collected at the end of the semester. You are able to overlap your UNICEF and CSF/NHS hours. What does this mean? Let's say you volunteered at the public library for three hours. You can use those three for both your UNICEF and CSF/NHS hour sheets; you don't have to get three separate hours for UNICEF and another three hours for CSF/NHS.
• If you have any questions, don't be afraid to email us, contact us on Facebook, or find us at school (Ceridwen, Eugenia, Chaereen).

Happy Halloween, guys! Have fun trick-or-treating.
