Approved Opportunities for our Chapter

Here are three opportunities that need volunteers. 

We had a technical glitch in our announcement system, so sorry for the delay. 

FIT Prom Dress Collection Drive

Hi, everybody! I am a volunteer at Families in Transition, a non-profit organization that helps get homeless families back on their feet. I volunteer at the thrift store, and it's almost prom season! We are always looking for dresses to sell to the community at a lower price which allows people who may not be able to afford a dress look beautiful at their prom. In addition, all of the money that is made at the thrift store goes towards the organization to help families in the community. Thank you so much!

Please email me at 9960922@bedfordnhk12.net if you are interested in making a donation!

"Only Yes Means Yes" Event Sign Ups

For our CAS project, we are hosting a speaker to discuss sexual assault on college campuses. The week before the event we will be handing out awareness bracelets and we will be gathering signatures on an "Only Yes Means Yes" sign. We need help with this table during lunches, so we are asking NHS members to sign up for a lunch block. We're holding a maximum of 4 people at the table per block. Please sign up for a block here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SX6VBdLMQVT1yI3pKGbS-9ExxwexYekGJE1G2F8Ywu0/edit#gid=0

Thanks,

Date: Wednesday, February 15 (snow date 2/16)

Time: Session One 4:00 to 5:30pm
Session Two 6:00 to 7:30 pm

These events will also appear in x2VOL.

Next meeting: All member February 2nd

Please contact Clare if you have items you would like to get onto the February 2nd agenda. Among other things, we're already planning to do a clarification of the hours categories.

There is no meeting this week, but keep the following items in mind:

• As far as we can tell, no action has moved forward on:
• The Penguin Plunge or Dip
• Kids' Vote
• There has been some interest expressed in emails, but it is unclear if we have a single student leader (or pair of leaders) that is going to coordinate with these events
• Dues and contracts are due at the next meeting. If it has been lost, here is a copy of the contract to sign.

Volunteers Needed!

Hi, we are looking for student volunteers to help with this year's Math Counts competition. The competition is from 8:30am - 1:00pm Feb 4th at McKelvie intermediate school (the make up day if there is snow is Feb 11th). No math skills are required! Math Counts is a competition for middle school students, as volunteers we would just be grading the tests, with the help of an answer key, and there will be pizza provided. We did it last year and it was a lot of fun!
