Service Opp- Healthy HoCo Kickoff Meeting!
Hi NHS-
Please see text below (a forwarded service opportunity). Basically, Howard County (led by Ken Ullman, Brian Jolles, and John Weinstein) are jumpstarting this Healthy Howard County Initiative and would really like the input of current students. Attend this meeting for service hours (it won't be hands on, but more a strategy/ planning meeting, but it will still count for NHS hours!) and for more information about FUTURE service opps. I talked with Mr.Jolles, and he's really excited to see this thing take off. So get involved early and make your mark, while also getting those much-needed service hours!
As always, please let me know ASAP if you are planning to attend. You don't technically need to sign up to attend (so if you don't get around to signing up but would still like to attend, by all means, go!) but Mr. Jolles would like a rough head-count, so email me with your email addresses if you are planning on going! Don't forget to bring your monthly hours sheets to get signed.

What: Student Strategy & Initiative Development Meeting
Date: Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Time: 6:45pm to 8pm
Where: Miller Branch of the Howard County Library
We are inviting interested MT Hebron High School students to participate in a special “Student Strategy Meeting”. Howard County has many separate initiatives that address the wellness needs of our citizens. There has been, and continues to be, a lot of support from high level county partners for each of these initiatives. Stay Active Howard County is being developed to bring these initiatives and many other wellness related events, programs and activities together.
This meeting will be directed at bringing our student leaders into the process as we shape Stay Active Howard County into a more cohesive well designed year round initiative. This is more than simply a volunteer opportunity related to promoting the wellness of Howard County citizens. Your students will have the opportunity to help shape the program at its earliest beginnings. We have a special presenter who will be helping conduct this meeting. John Weinstein is the President of Line Of Sight, a local consulting firm. His firm helps government and industry create sustainable value by helping them envision, plan and realize change. Your students will be participating in a process to define value, support and opportunities that student volunteers will bring to this initiative.
We Promote Health, a 501c3 nonprofit in Howard County is assisting other partners in creating this initiative. Brian Jolles is President of We Promote Health. If you or anyone else on your team, would like more details in advance of the meeting, Brian can be reached on his cell phone 443-309-5379. Please let us know as to the level of interest so we have an understanding of the approximate number of students that might participate.
We have a website for the Stay Active Initiative, please check it out at www.stayactivehowardcounty.org.

January and February Hours/Hours from February 17
Hi NHS Members,
Due to the snowfall and days out of school, I will be accepting all service hours completed after our January 12th meeting at our March 9th meeting. Though we want all NHS members to continue to turn in hours promptly, the snowstorm interfered with our schedule, and this is the least complicated solution. Remember that these hours will not be accepted after March 9! You will have had two months to turn in your service hours by that point, so no excuses.
Any questions can be sent directly to me.
Grace Freund

St. John's Parish School Carnival
Hi NHS! If you're not currently buried under all this snow, take a minute and read this message:
Hi,
My name is Kristen Conord and I am the volunteer contact for St. John’s annual spring carnival. I got your contact info from Becky who mentioned that you may be interested in volunteering. We have several areas that need volunteers.
Set-up - arrive around 12 to help where needed.
Clean-up - stay after the carnival is over and help where needed
Run a carnival game – stay at a particular game station & monitor children (moon bounces, mazes, bean bag toss, etc)
Collect tickets – at each game station you will be collecting the required tickets to play
Sell food – stay at food table & sell baked goods
Dress-up as a Character – walk around carnival in costume (star-wars, princess) and interact with kids. (Please not a scary costume!)
Direct Traffic – needs to arrive early.
The carnival is from 2-5 on Saturday, May 1, and it would be great if you would be able to stay the entire time. We will be able to give you as many Community Service hours as you work. This is a huge event for the school & community and it is only possible with volunteers. We will greatly appreciate any time that you can give.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. (conordgirls2@comcast.net)
Thanks for volunteering!
