Our club may be small, but we are making meaningful contributions to our community. We have several initiatives underway including a three-phased plan to provide support for underserved children and youth in K.C., Ks. We greatly appreciate our co-chairs, Larry, Bill and Gabriel, who have been leading this effort. The initial phase will address the Learning Club’s need for student rewards (i.e., prizes) that are used to shape behavior. Students served by this non-profit organization earn points for positive behavior and these points are used to purchase items for themselves or their family. As stated on the Learning Club website, this reward system encourages academic achievement, personal responsibility, delayed gratification and also helps students experience the joy of giving to others. The amount donated to the Learning Club will include $700 from our Charitable Foundation plus any additional donations that individual members choose to give towards this project.
In addition to the Learning Club, Joe is leading our Salvation Army Christmas Angel Tree project, which provides gifts to disadvantaged children so that they may experience some type of holiday joy. During this holiday season, our club is also scheduled to volunteer at the Johnson County Christmas Bureau Holiday Shop on Friday, December 3rd. Thank you all for committing your time and resources to helping others in need. With all of this positive energy, we will focus our next meeting (November 18th) on implementing the plans and brainstorming additional projects to help the hungry, the homeless and the hopeless. Hope to see you Thursday, November 18th.
Have a great week,
Becky
