In order to reach our club goal of 2400 service hours for the year, we need to do 200 more this month. If we achieve this goal, Andrea has said she will dye her hair for the week of April 3!! So keep doing that service this month so we can pick a crazy color to dye our presidents hair!!
b. Bucky Book Fundraiser
Bucky Books are here! We will be selling Bucky Books for $35 dollars each. We have sold all of our books so far, but we will discuss next week whether we want to get some more. Our club gets $12 for each book sold. The money will go to the service account, so hours spent selling them can count as service hours. If you still have a book and havent turned the money in yet, please give it to Angela as soon as possible.
