BUILDERS CLUB STARTS NEW SEASON

Mrs. Ryer talks to the 5^th and 6^th graders.

Builders Club kicked off the 2008/2009 season with orientation meetings. The 7^th and 8^th graders get out of school 45 minutes earlier than the 5^th and 6^th graders so two meetings are held.

Advisor Deb Ryer told the students about Builders Club being a fun way to learn about community service. Two Kiwanians Paul Ehrlich and Jerry Wiskow were there; and Deb talked about Kiwanis and how it is a world wide service club and sponsors their Builders Club.

She spoke of the service projects the Builders Club has done in the past. Once officers are elected they will select projects with the help of the advisors. The first project has already been set by the advisors since it comes up right away. The will be putting food away at the Food Pantry that the Boy Scouts collect on Saturday October 25^th.

Paul passes out treats to the 5^th and 6th graders at the end of the meeting.

Mrs. Maciejewski says they expect over 50 students to become members eventually. Attendance was slim at these two meetings because they were up against other events. There won’t be as many conflicts when they get together on their regular meetings on the first Tuesday of the Month. The first meeting starts at 2:40 pm.

Kiwanis members are welcome to attend, but you must check in at the TJ Office first.

NEWEST MEMBERS INDUCTED.

Five members were inducted at the October 21^st meeting, Rick Smith, Gary and Carol Boehle, Jeanne Maciejewski and Deb Ryer.

“BUILDERS CLUB” MEETING PROGRAM FOR THE EVENING

Builders club advisors, Jeanne and Deb along with member Nate Ehrlich did a program for the Kiwanis Club. They presented a power point on the Builders Club activities from the past years. The advisors also talked about some of the things they would like to see the club do this year.

Jeanne is in administration and Deb is a 7^th Grade Social Studies Teacher.

Everyone could see the enthusiasm these advisors had for working with the kids.
