Meeting Numero dos!


Just some general housekeeping!

Yesterday, Tuesday September 25th was our second club meeting and we were SO happy to see a bigger turn out this week!

The meeting was called to order at 3:36pm. We started off by taking attendance and collecting dues! Due collection began this week and everyone was very good about donating their $50 or more to the club. Next week we expect to see Briana, our treasurer, at her station by the door collecting dues and taking attendance as each person walks into the room.

This year we are very serious about due collection and attendance and have decided to instigate this new rule: missing 3 consecutive meetings (without relevant excuse) or failing to pay dues 3 consecutive times will result in the member being kicked out of the club! SO ALL OF Y’ALL NEED TO COME TO MEETINGS AND PAY DUES! We can’t stress it enough.

Next, Alex Baugh, one of the club’s PRO’s spoke briefly about the Key Club’s regular Halloween Brew held every October. She spoke about the need for new ideas for the Brew and volunteers for servers and that each member must contribute to the Brew in some way, either by baking or providing utensils such as napkins, forks and plates. Alex asked each club member to start thinking about these new ideas because in the coming weeks this is what we plan on discussing.

After, we split the club into two groups: project and fundraiser and then the room came alive, buzzing with ideas being bounced around. In the short half an hour that the meeting last our club members came up with some really great ideas, not to mention a bunch of cool ideas for the upcoming Key Club Week in November!

Some of these ideas were:


Fundraising 
Movie Night (a movie related to key club motives) 
Candy Cane
BBQ 
Halloween Fair Day/Night 
Karaoke Night 
70's/80's/90's day 
Christmas Bake Sale 
Christmas Pixie (whole school) 

Project
Mary Atkins homeless shelter 
Wolmer's Boys Key Club: Inter-club Project
Campion College Key Club: Inter-club Project 
STEP Foundation 
Oznom Old People's home 
Angels of Love 



The meeting was adjourned at 4:00pm! Here are some pictures from this very productive meeting!





Oh! And the PRO's (Alysia and Alex) have already gotten in touch with the Wolmer's Boys Key Club presiden Phillip Morgan and planning for a project is already underway! Yay for inter clubbing!

Our First Meeting!

\

Here's our President, Brittany, at our first meeting of the term on Tuesday the 18th of September. The exec spent the first five minutes introducing themselves to the club and explaining what exactly each of their jobs entailed. You can also see our faculty supervisor, Mrs. Fraser, on the left!

Here's our VP, Peter Kay, as she writes the discussion points that we would cover in the meeting. We told the club about our monthly trips to Bustamante Children's Hospital and about our new club aim 'RAOK' (Random act of kindness) that we think every member will start to embrace.

What a great turn out for the first meeting of the year! We were extremely happy with the amount of people that showed up and hope that the number will continuously grow as the year progresses.


Our Treasurer Briana laughs at a joke that another exec member made in the presentation. The members seemed to enjoy the presentation and we earned a chuckle or two from them!

Our Assistant Treasurer Vikram (Right) sits with the new members of the club to get to know them better. Megan seems to really be enjoying his company with a smile on her face!

Assistant Secretary Jodi (Left) poses with Mrs. Chambers, one of our new faculty supervisors. Both look ecstatic to be a part of Key Club! How cute are they?

Finally, we decided to have an ice-breaker game in order for the new members to get to know each other. Each person got a slip of paper with a word on it, and had to find the person that had a word that corresponded with theirs, to make a new compound word. When they found that person they had to introduce themselves and make conversation! Everyone had a great time!

We hope to update you on what goes on in this tuesdays meeting asap! Until next time!
