Our most recent meeting was, once again, a success. We started the meeting off with a team building activity that Jeanne came up with. Each of you picked a piece of paper out of a bag and put the paper on your forehead, facing everyone else. Then, everyone that attended gave hints about who the person on your paper was. It was your job to guess who you were correctly.
After our activity everyone welcomed our new club leader, Amanda D. (Activities Director).
Next our club leaders showed a brief presentation on Compassion, our theme of the meeting. Janet presented the definition of compassion which is: a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.Gaby, Amanda V., Connie and Lily all gave instructions on how to be compassionate to family, friends, peers and strangers.
After our presentation, Danielle read aloud a story that she wrote about a man who showed compassion, which was then followed up by a group discussion.
This meeting's craft was gift cards that each person got to decorate so they could be put on Christmas presents.
We were then introduced to our community service activity which will be to put together a blanket for a young lady at one of our sister schools. Also, we were reminded to turn in our fundraiser money and club dues ASAP.After the meeting, we all enjoyed each others company with our refreshments and treats that Gaby and Jeanne brought in.
We hope to see you all at our next meeting ladies, so don't forget to RSVP. Happy Holidays!
