SERVICE|| End of the Year

After the concert we had to find a new aim for the club until the end of the year. During one meeting we decided to focus on getting the original number of surgeries we had thought of getting. In order to do that we did a few bake sales with a ‘chocolate’ theme and without surprise they allowed us to raise one surgery each time. The most important change in our club was that we created a Middle School part. This came about as most of our siblings were always very interested in what was happening in the club and showed a lot of interest in the Operation Smile Mission. For this reason we now have meetings on Thursday lunch with the middle school. We are the first club in school to be in both high school and middle school. So far their club has conducted one bake sale and took charge of our booth during International Day. It is interesting to see how dedicated they are and how much effort they put into making their club a success.

SERVICE|| Operation Smile

We are now planning our annual concert. I am not exactly sure why but this year’s organization seems to be a lot more complicated than last year, especially with the Composers Club. I think this year’s concert would have taught me a lot. We had an issue of communication with the dates we booked down for the auditorium and what we told the Composers Club. For this reason they are refusing to perform with us, making the planning quite challenging. However Josh, the club’s president, was able to get a local comedian to come and perform for us. I feel like using a local comedian has two very strong assets. Firstly we are using the local community, and making it known to the school. And secondly the aim of a comedian is to making people laugh, and therefore SMILE J.  The last details are to be determined sometimes this week, but I am confident, and hope this concert will once again be a success.
