Thank you

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say thank you for an awesome year. Being able to create and run ARC at Tigard High was a great experience. We got a lot of work done this year, from volunteering monthly at the Oregon Humane Society, to putting on a video showing of Earthlings for the school. So thank you to my club officers, and also to the club members, for participating in events, attending meetings, and making THS ARC possible.

We had our last meeting of the year today. If you have not turned in your money/wristbands yet, they are late, and Renae is now going to start sending you angry messages until the club is reimbursed. So get that done!

We also had Mrs. Johnson (Maggie's mommy) come in and speak to us about some volunteer work she does for animals. She gave each of us a list of information of animal rights groups, sanctuaries, and other groups. Her email is kboelling@verizon.net in case you have any questions.

Finally, we let the 4 new officers take over the club. Your future president Ally talked about different ideas she had to keep ARC active next year (doggie walk, Petco Adoption, etc). VP Stephan also brought up the possibility of volunteering at the Oregon Zoo.

So that's about all. Thank you again for a great year, and I wish ARC the best of luck next year! :)

Patrick Browne
ARC President

Meeting Minutes: 5/11/10

The Earthlings video showing was a success. We had over 25 students attend! Thank you to all who helped set up.

If you still have wristbands/money to turn in, the deadline to do so is May 25th. After this date, Renae Weiss will start sending notes to classes.

We also elected our club officers for the 2010-2011 school year. Congrats to next year's ARC leaders.
