Meeting- 11/24/09

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We hoped you all enjoyed the potluck- with pasta, fruits, garlic bread, donuts, pumpkin pie- YUMM! Thank you so much to Tiffany who brought donuts to share with us! And thank you all for being such committed club members! Here are just some reminders:

• Club Shirts will arrive soon! Listen out for that and when to pay the $10.
• Keep eating yogurt and bringing in those pink lids! Remember, we will be gathering lids all throughout December, before we leave for break!

Other than that, get ready for December the HCCC way! ;)
See you Tuesday, 12/1 at lunch in F-7!

Meeting- 11/17/09

Hola everyone!

We want to remind all club members once again about t-shirt sign ups. If you guys want a t-shirt but have not signed up, please e-mail us: hopecancurecancer@gmail.com (with your shirt size.) The shirts will probably be here early December and most likely be $10 a piece. So, watch out for those!

This week, we made Thanksgiving cards for the Methodist Hospital patients! Thanks everyone for spending time to show your "turkey-spirit!" If you guys would still like to make cards, please bring them in at next week's meeting! That way, we can deliver them to the hospital in time for Thanksgiving!
Remember, 3 cards = 1 volunteer hour.

All of us club officers would really like to thank you guys for contributing to the success of our club this year! Feel free to continue bringing new friends and keep spreading the word about our club!

Next week, we are doing something really special, so you definitely don't want to miss out! You can help contribute to this "special event" by bringing in your favorite bag of snacks or even your favorite dish! Whatever it is, remember to join us next Tuesday in F-7!

See you all,
Jenny

Meeting- 11/10/09

Hi club members!

We covered lots of information at this week's meeting. Here's a recap...

I. Hiking
Location: Monrovia Canyon Park- Monrovia Falls (1.5 miles)
1201 N Canyon Blvd, Monrovia, CA 91016
When: Sunday, November 14
Time: 8:30 AM- around 11 AM
• Bring: An energized, cheerful face; snacks; water; appropriate clothing

**Notes:
If you signed up for a ride, please meet at the school parking lot near El Monte between 8:05 AM-8:10 AM. We will be organizing the transportation at that time. If your parents can give rides, please ask them to be at the parking lot. That way, everyone can go up there at once and we can avoid multiple trips. Thank you guys so much!

II. T-Shirts
We have decided on a t-shirt design! Yay! It is a very beautiful and intricate design drawn by Christina that we hope can be printed soon and delivered to all of us. Thank you so much to Candela, Sally, and Alan for contributing your designs. They were truly all wonderful! Save those designs up for next year you three!
If you have not signed up for a t-shirt yet, please e-mail us at hopecancurecancer@gmail.com with your name and t-shirt size (adult sizes). We are hoping to keep the shirts at $10 a piece!

III. No smoking!
At the meeting this week, we introduced you guys to the "No Smoking" event held by the American Cancer Society. Hopefully you guys all received a pencil and were inspired to tell your loved ones to quit smoking!

IV. Reminders
Thanksgiving Cards- Thank you to those who turned some in at this week's meeting! They were so creative and I'm sure the patients will love it! We will be making cards as a club on 11/24/09, but it's great if you guys could get started and bring them in! Remember, 3 cards= 1 volunteer hour.
Yoplait Lids- Remember, we wil be accepting pink yogurt lids all the way through December, before we leave for winter break! Keep eating yogurt and bringing the lids in! Think: Save Lids to Save Lives!

That's about it for this week! See you guys out on the trail Sunday morning!

-Jenny

Meeting- 11/3/09

Hello everyone!

So...it has been decided! We are going hiking as a club Sunday, November 15 at 7 AM!
More information will be enclosed in the club e-mails regarding location and items to bring.
If you will need a ride that morning to the Santa Anita mountains, please let us know, either through e-mail or through a sign-up sheet that we will pass around at next week's meeting. (Our e-mail is hopecancurecancer@gmail.com) For those that can give rides, please let us know! There will be a parking fee for the parents that want to attend this event. We will speak more about this next week, but keep note of the date for now!

Last week, we mentioned that t-shirt designs will be due at the next meeting. However, we have decided to postpone the date to next Tuesday (11/10/09). So, please remember to bring in a sketch of your design because we will be voting next week. Don't miss out!

Lastly, for you ambitious ones, get started with Thanksgiving cards! For those who turned in Halloween cards, thank you so, so much! You guys definitely brought smiles and spooks to the patients! We will be spending a Tuesday making Thanksgiving cards as a club, but it won't hurt to get started now!

See you guys next Tuesday! Remember your t-shirt designs!
