2/10/15 Meeting

1. The special guest presentation date is coming closer! Today we got a head count of how many people can attend the meeting on February 24th (two weeks from today). If you weren't able to attend today's meeting but you know that you can make it on the 24th, please email us ASAP!
2. This is an exciting opportunity for my current officers ONLY: UNICEF has just released the new applications for the 2015-2016 National Council. Our president, Chaereen, is currently one of the six members of the 2014-2015 National Council. She was able to visit New York City back in August to attend a training session, and will be returning to NYC in May to attend UNICEF's Annual Meeting. The next National Council has even bigger commitments: not only will you be attending a training session in New York City in July, but you will also be visiting Washington D.C. in April and Germany in May! You must be able to attend all three of these events in order to apply for a position. A National Council member is in charge of all the high school clubs in a certain region. Chaereen is currently maintaining all high school clubs in Southern California and Hawaii. She's also one of the members in charge of social media, so she regularly updates the official High School Clubs Facebook and Twitter. Being a National Council member is a big responsibility, but also a very rewarding one. To learn more, and to apply, click HERE.
3. And, just a heads up that officer applications and interviews for our club next year will begin in May. Those of you interested in becoming a part of the leadership board, make sure to apply!

2/3/15 Meeting

Hey guys! Sorry about the confusion at this meeting (forgot to tell McKee that we had one). It won't happen again. Moving on:

1. We raised around $100 for Typhoon Hagupit relief through our pizza party last semester!
2. Please make sure to come to next week's meeting, because there's going to be a sign-up sheet passed around for the meeting with our special guests on February 24th. We need a head count of how many people are going to attend!
3. Next month in March, we're going to participate in the Tap Project's mobile phone campaign again, where you go for a certain number of hours without your phone. Look forward to that and more service hour opportunities!

That's it! Have a great week.
