April 6 Meeting Notes

1.  Adopt-a-Highway pickup -- Saturday, April 16.  Meet in Whitthorne parking lot at 8:30 a.m.  -- All students under 18 must have parental permission, even if you have watched the safety video.  If you have never watched the video, please do so using the internet link a the top of the permission forms.  This pick-up is coordinated to receive credit from the Great American Clean-up and Maury County Clean-up.  Participating students are supposed to receive free McDonald's vouchers.  Forms are being passed out today.  Please bring the form back to Mrs. Brown or Mrs. Potts no later than the day of pick up.

2.  MS Walk -- also April 16, at 10:30 a.m. at Maury County Park at the Kiwanis shelter.  If you register, you'll receive a free T-shirt, so we need your size.  We'll have time to finish the clean-up and get over to the park in time to register and walk.  We'll all complete the pickup together and walk over or drive to the park together.  Last year we have over 15 participants.  We are on Team Tate, the team for Mrs. Culberson's daughter, Meghan Tate.  The club is donating money, but we're also asked to raise money.  If you can raise even $10 from outside sources, this helps greatly to further research and help patients with MS. 

3.  NHS Stole -- You may rent a stole or purchase one to keep for $20.00.  This money needs to be given to Mrs. Potts or Mrs. Brown by April 21.  -- To ensure your right to wear Beta cords or the NHS stole, make sure you have completed your 8 hours for the year and are in good academic standing with a 93.  If you do not have your 4 hours this semester, then you have opportunities during April and May to finish them.

4.  School Clean-Up Day:  May 14 at 10:00.  Meet in the lobby to help clean teachers' rooms.  We'll be cleaning boards, desks, and windows.  If you cannot get your hours in before April 30, this is your  last chance to complete your club requirements.  You MUST commit to this day by April 30 if you do NOT have your hours completed. 

5.  Is there any interest to help with the Day Care Easter Basket project?  Please sign form for this and Mrs. Brown will contact you for specific information.

6.  Club officers will be elected before the end of the school year.  If you are interested in being an officer for the 2011-12 school year, please submit a letter of intent to one of the sponsors ASAP, stating why you think you should be considered for an officer's position.
