So You Missed the Meeting...?

Or your an incredibly devoted club member who, as a matter of fact, did attend the meeting and decided to inform yourself further because your frazzled club president was never endowed with the skills of a seasoned orator. Hence the weblog and today's recap:

IV. Paint and Picnic

b. First meeting next week? At Sunset Park or Otay Lake
c. Bring a food item to share
Notes: Next Sunday seems to be the best day for most of the group. This will be a great opportunity to relax and get to know each other. Artists please bring your own materials with the reservation that you also wouldn't mind sharing with colleagues.

V. Opera and Symphony Season
a. Student rush tickets...
b. Barber of Seville playing Thursday Jan. 26 @ 6:30pm in the Civic Theatre (Downtown SD)
April and I will be taking a drive downtown this weekend to pick up tickets for the students that signed up during the meeting. If you haven't signed up and still would like to, please send an email to me as soon as you can. Tickets are $5.

VI. Upcoming Eastlake High Events
a. Center Stage Karaoke Night (Jan. 14) You know, I really thought that this was something that I would be interested in going to - until of course, word slipped out that a member of the audience could be bought, paid for, and forced to sing!?!?! Well...this could be interesting.
b. Youth and Government Halo Tourney (Jan. 21)
c. Dead Poets Society (Jan. 25)

VII. Open Discussion…future events? Club status?
We will be planning a date in early March for the Awake-a-thon. This is a Key Club tradition and it pleases me to inform you that we have been invited to participate in the event.

We are also contemplating a possible arts week to advocate the humanities to the rest of the school population. It's quite disheartening as an artist to realize that the only presentation of art on campus is in the confines of the classes themselves and the posters in the main office. But there's no need to be negative, we have a chunkful of time left and a wonderful group of arts enthusiasts.
