We met yesterday for our first meeting of the year.
Here are the highlights of our meeting:
1. We introduced ourselves and shared a favorite recent read.
2. We then discussed the following activities as things we'd like to take on this year:
Reading at Parsons (Mrs P will make contact with them)
Writing Contest at Hull (Mrs P will ask what time of year would best serve them)
Outings: possible Gwinnett County Library "Fall into the Arts" author talks and/or Margaret Mitchell House (Lauren Rector finding out more information on both)
How to serve the school? - Book Recommendations, National Reading week/day?, Character Spirit day?, Help with Literary magazine? Host a poetry Coffee house
Fundraiser: have one both semesters - Ramen sales (Kate has access to a Sam's club)
3. IMPORTANT: Club meetings will be the first Thursday of every month, so ...
First official meeting will be this coming Thursday, October 6th. We will conduct voting for officers, inducting new members, pictures for yearbook, bring FOOD if you'd like :)
Also, club dues will need to be paid through mealpay. New members need to pay the National dues (roughly $12) + t-shirt cost. Old members only pay for this year's t-shirt. I will let you guys know the exact prices at Thursday's meeting.
