NEWS Flash about our Aug dinner meeting

It was wonderful to get such a good start to our Honor Council requirements.
Somethings we should recap:

Community Service Project for 2008/09:

1. Deb K is going to call the Clothes Closet to see if they will accept our donations of pj's and books, she'll e-mail that answer
2. we're going to set up a display of pj's and books (each of us will donate one set) will advertise our new idea for service in the Waukesha area
   
3. our new community service project position will be discussed at the Oct 11 meeting with our memebership
   

Increasing new membership ideas:

1. the principal letter and gift certificate (attached) needs to be sent to area schools... can someone volunteer to make copies,labels and stamps on them to mail?
2. Colleen is making 3 "participant's certificates" for PDP plans and we'll have a table (manned by 2 of us) at the end of each breakfast meeting.

Our program to reach future teachers/Student Teachers:

1. teachers that bring a ST to the Jan. meeting be entered with one ticket for a special door-prize raffle
2. WCRC give out one WSRA free membership to two STs or students that attends that mtg so they get the reduced rate to go to convention (of was it the cost of the convention?)
