December and January Meetings (12/9 & 1/13)

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't updated in a while.

Here's a couple things to know from December's meeting, in case you missed it:

• We earned about $3,000 from Poinsettia sales. Thank you to all who sold!
• There are still some January slots open, so if you've missed any meetings please sign up for an extra day.
• We'll know if you did an extra day from your name on the sign up sheet, so if you're doing an extra ice rink duty you don't have to fill out one of the extra credit sheets

January's Meeting:

• PLEASE be sure to sign up for a time to help the janitors after school if you are able! The sign up sheets are either on the NHS board or in Cordie's room. The work will not be disgusting or anything, it'll be dusting the trophy cases or something like that that the janitors don't have time to get to often. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
• Keep checking back on the NHS board for the February Ice Rink sign up sheet to be posted and remember to sign up for at least one shift that month! If you missed a meeting or you can't help the janitors clean, please sign up for more than one shift.
• The January and February committees met to plan their respective free skate nights. January's will be this Monday, Jan 18 from 2-4, all are welcome. February's will be Monday, Feb 15 from 2-4. If you are in the Jan or Feb committees and were not at the meeting, PLEASE talk to your chairs to see what your job is. Everyone from each committee should help out with this!
• Also, February is conferences month and NHS will have their usual book/bake sale. The February committee is in charge of organizing most of this. They will need additional volunteers to help bake cookies and other food for the sale. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING IN GENTLY USED BOOKS to Morinville. Old English class books are popular and any other books you're willing to donate would be greatly appreciated. Please get those in by next month's meeting.
• Finally, NHS is making a directory. It was not available at this past meeting but it should be ready very soon. This directory is to be used to send out mass reminders (from me) about NHS meetings and events. Also, this makes YOU responsible for finding someone to take over your shifts if you have a prior commitment. The directory should be used to make the lines of communication between members freer so everyone can connect if they need to.

Thank you to everyone who came and, those of you who missed, please be sure to make it up by doing an extra rink shift or helping the janitors on an extra day. Please remember, everyone, to sign up to help with the janitors and to sign up for February ice rink dates. Please try to attend the free skate days on Jan 18, and Feb 15. Tell your friends!
Also, don't forget to bring in books for the book sale. If you would like to volunteer to bake, please talk to either me or Sandy Morande.
Thanks!
