Our First Meeting

WRITTEN BY MICHELLE TRAN

August 19th: As the school year starts, our first meeting approaches quickly! We have had our first board meeting of the school year on August 17th and we plan to have our first general meeting on August 22nd. We have some surprises planned for the students that attend our first meeting. We plan to continue our annual tradition of having pizza for the students that attend, and we also plan on giving away some of our old Key Club Shirts during the meeting. For the meeting, we will also have about 100 membership application forms ready for the students to get if they would like. For the meeting agenda, we plan on having officer introductions, informing the students of member requirements, notifying them of upcoming volunteer event opportunities, and announcing our first social of the year! Our first social is to be held in the cafeteria on September 9th, where we will have food and activities for members to participate in. We have had the morning announcements announce our first general meeting and have hung up many flyers around the school to help let the students know about our first meeting.

I am looking forward to seeing the turnout for the meeting as well as meeting the future North Garland Key Club Members.

August 22nd: The turnout for our first general meeting was amazing! Our half of the cafeteria was packed with people waiting for the meeting. Our meeting went as planned with a few minor setbacks as we planned on having the cafeteria set up earlier than we actually did. The pizza arrived later than we planned, which set the meeting back a little bit. However, we still started and ended the meeting promptly.

Before starting the meeting, the people got excited when they saw the pizza that was set up. The energy that everyone had at the meeting was unexpected for me. There was applause after every officer introduction, excitement from the crowd as we got ready to throw the old Key Club shirts, and a bunch of people grabbing membership forms and pizza after the meeting ended. I feel as if our first meeting was really successful, and I hope that many of the people present at our first meeting will become members of the North Garland Key Club. I also hope we left a good impression on them and that they will attend our many upcoming events. Hopefully, this meeting is just the start of an amazing year for the North Garland Key.

As the school year starts, our first meeting approaches quickly!
