11/18/13 Meeting: BIG DAY

Hey everyone! Today's meeting was super important: we finally collected all of the Trick-or-Treat boxes. We gathered nearly sixty boxes, all of which were ready to explode. Thank you so much guys! Ceridwen, Eugenia, Chaereen, Aimiel, and Tyler will take charge in counting the money over this weekend. Once we finish, we will let you know of the grand total. Excited?!

Alright, today's agenda was quite a handful.

1. The See's Candies Fundraiser has officially begun! This is the main fundraiser for the month of December. We asked you guys on our sign-up sheets today whether or not you want to participate. If you were unable to attend the meeting, please comment below or email us by this Wednesday that you are willing to participate. This is a great way to gain an hour or two (heads up: hour sheets are due pretty soon), and an amazing opportunity for you to stock up on Christmas gifts. ALL that we earn through this fundraiser will be donated to the Philippines!

2. Speaking of which: UNICEF is currently providing emergency relief to those, specifically children, who have been affected by the recent devastation of Typhoon Haiyan. You can take action by texting RELIEF to 864233, by which you will be able to donate $10 with one text! Ask your parents to help you out. Or, you can head on here: https://secure.unicefusa.org/site/Donation2?df_id=16500&16500.donation=form1&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=post&utm_content=11-16-13_14-30&utm_campaign=unicefusa. If you want, scroll down to the bottom of page where we linked UNICEF's official video for Haiyan Relief.

If any of you have other ideas to help fundraise for children in the Philippines, feel free to share! One member has already came up with the idea of setting a table out with information and asking for donations.

3. And we can't forget the main fundraiser of the month of November: Souplantation! REMINDER: the fundraiser is on November 26th from 5 ~ 8 PM. You can stop by the restaurant any time during this interval with our flyer, which you can download HERE. Souplantation's address is 24303 Town Center Dr #150, Valencia, CA 91355. Make sure to keep the receipt, so that we can give you hours ~
COME, COME, COME!

Happy Monday!

Important Reminders!

Guess what, guys? It's time to start the See's Candies fundraiser!
But before we get started: We need a head count of how many people are willing to actually participate, because it costs money to even order the pre-order forms. So, please comment below if you are going to be participating in this awesome (and delicious) fundraiser.

Trick-or-Treat boxes are due on Monday, November 18th! Monday's meeting is extremely important, so please make sure to attend. Remember, it will be at lunch in room 516.

The Souplantation fundraiser is coming up! Mark your calendars: Tuesday, November 26th, from 5 to 8 PM. Souplantation's address is 24303 Town Center Dr #150, Valencia, CA 91355. You must have a flyer, which you can download HERE.

That's it! Hope to see you all on Monday.

2. Did everyone have a great Halloween? Trick-or-treat boxes must be turned in by November 18th. Please start bringing us your full boxes now, and remember that you can keep collecting money up until the boxes are due.

3. Hour sheets will be due either December 9th or 16th. We'll let you guys know when we make the final decision. You must have twenty hours (ten of which can be from service activities over the summer). We require some sort of proof of participation (ex. signature of supervisor, photograph of event).

4. Our next fundraiser will be See's Candies and will start November 18th when Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF ends. Orders for that will be due by December 2nd to ensure they arrive before school is out.

5. Congratulations to Eugenia Lee and Kevin Park for receiving the gold PVSA award! Great job guys ~
