The first UNICEF meeting of the year was held on Monday (9/18) at lunch. We had a great turnout and are so excited for this year! We discussed our goals for the year, fundraisers, attendance, assistant officer positions, and more. Here's a recap of Monday's meeting:
1. We introduced UNICEF and our officer board.
2. We played this video to highlight UNICEF's mission and our goals for the club. UNICEF strives to protect and support children's rights worldwide, through fundrasing, advocacy, and education. We then asked questions about and discussed the video, and handed out prizes to those who answered a question correctly.
3. Fundraisers and volunteer opportunities are coming up, so be sure to get involved. We have an upcoming fundraiser at Chipotle, and an opportunity to volunteer at the Santa Clarita Marathon in November. Because we are committed to helping our community and giving back, UNICEF requires 10 service hours per semester. NHS service hours can be used for UNICEF service as well.

Our next meeting will be held on Monday, October 9th, at lunch in room 516 (McKee). Hope to see you there! Also, if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on Instagram (@vhsunicef) and Twitter (@valenciaUNICEF) for club photos and important updates.
