11/06/17: Meeting Recap

Hi, UNICEF members! Here’s a recap of today’s meeting:

1. Trick or Treat boxes will be due next meeting, November 20th. You will receive one service hour for each box turned in. We’re partnering with Key Club to raise money for underprivileged children globally. Our goal is $3,000, so be sure to donate any spare change you have and spread the word!!

2. We’re having a fundraiser at Panda Express this month on November 20th. Please go there and tell your friends so we can support our club! :))

3. During our meeting, Sanjana showed this video about how climate change affects children around the world. From natural disasters and pollution to the creeping impacts of rising sea levels and changing rainfall patterns, climate change threatens children’s most basic rights, including their health, access to food and water, education – even their survival. UNICEF is working to reduce the impact of climate change on vulnerable children by building natural disaster proof schools, raising money for relief efforts, protecting vital water supplies, and empowering children to take action.

4. If you haven’t been getting text messages for UNICEF on Remind, please contact our co-presidents or VP of Communications, Lily, so you can be added and informed about future meetings/events.

Our next meeting will be Monday, November 20th, in Mr. McKee’s room (516). See you then!
