We had a superlative turnout for our first fundraising activity. At
the end of the day, after expenses we netted $78.00!!! While this may
not seem like a lot of money, considering we sold carnations for a total
of 4 hours, that is pretty good.
We do have some carnations left over and will attempt to sell them
tomorrow during our recruitment efforts!!
3 new people joined our ranks today!!! Great Recruitment efforts by
everyone!!!
Some important things to consider:
1. Recruitment drive in Commons from 10-2pm on Wednesday 2/15.
Contact Rachel or stop by to help us grow our organization!
2. Deposit for the Dallas Trip - $100.00 by 2/28/06 - Balance (not sure
what that will be yet) due on 3/15/06.
3.SkillsUSA Competition - Testing must be completed by Friday 2/17.
Testing can be completed at 2:00 pm on Friday in Room 1130, or contact
Bob ( carosi@ccri.edu ) or JoAnn (
jwarren@ccri.edu ) to make
alternate arrangements.
4. Competition Camp: Students wishing to compete in a competitive
event (similar to Regionals) at Dallas, can enroll in a 1 credit
Independent Study with JoAnn. If you are a full time student, and not
taking more than 18 credits, there shouldn't be any charges. However, if
you are part-time, you will need to pay for the one credit.
Students can opt out of the credit, but Must participate in Competition
Camp, in order to be prepared for National Competitions. We will plan to
meet for approximately 10 hours between now and April 15. We hope to
work closely with the Providence Chapter. Here is a link to JoAnn's
schedule, see what time works best for you. Anytime, I am not in class
works for me...
