RECAP OF TODAY’S MEETING
We watched the ‘Big Ideas’ clip, introduced ourselves and told why we came to the club, we wrote down our talents and skills (what we bring to the table), we started brainstorming events that we could do to raise awareness and money, talked about October and the different events coming up, and learned about ‘action items’!
ACTIONS ITEMS TO DO/BRING FOR NEXT MTG (10/10/06)
1. brainstorm and write down all your talents, strengths, interests, abilities
2. log onto this blog

Yes! First comment! (Not only on this entry but for me on this whole site!) First of many to come! My thoughts on today’s meeting: It was interesting to consider what i could “bring to the table.” I had never really thought of all my skills, talents, abilities, etc. in much depth and in such a collective way, so it was interesting to see what I came up with and considering all the possiblities of how I can use these to impact the world for the better
(and to “raise awareness”!). I am very excited for next meeting to see what everyone comes up with as far as ther own specialties, as well as to complete my talents list. I’m psyched to be in this club and can’t wait to start making a difference! I can already tell that my senior year will definitely be the most exhilarating, the most challenging, the most eye-opening, and the most worthwhile.
Peace & Love, Anna Novaes

OK lets see….I really want to say that I am happy to be apart of a club that helps to make such a big difference in peoples lives. Not only does icu help to change the lives of the children in uganda but it also helps to change people like me and everyone else in the club. I feel that as far as changing my life so far I am trying to have a bigger say in what is going on in the world instead of sitting at home on the computer all day I can go out and educate people on what is going on in the rest of the world. I want to thank you Miss Neylan and Mrs. Margrave for having this club and wanting to help others.

On behalf of Mrs. Margrave and the core members of ICU, we’re so excited!
