[Bxscience Key Club] Announcements: Event THIS Saturday+Cards for Sick Children+Bronx Science Teacher Talent Show

1) This Saturday, February 4, the Fighting Blindness Foundation will be holding a speaker series. 

They are looking for 2-4 volunteers who can help check people in and handout packets, as well as guide people to the refreshment room.

This event will start @ 9:15 am and will take place at the Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia University Medical Center. 

Please email me back by TONIGHT if you are interested in this event as this organization desperately needs volunteers!!

2) As I mentioned in the meeting, I want to regularly start writing letters to kids who are severely or terminally ill. Although these letters or cards would only take a small amount of your time to make, they mean a lot to these kids and can put a smile on their faces. Cards should preferably be colorful and short since these kids are young. Here is a website with instructions on what you have to do to write these kids cards. Once you make a card, you can give it to one of the officers in a meeting, we will give you points, and mail your card out. I hope you all take the time to do this. The smallest things can mean the world to a kid. Please do your part in helping make these kids' worlds the best they can be before their death, or to help them recover.

3) February 10, Bronx Science will be holding a Teacher Talent Show from 3:00-4:30 pm. The ticket price has not yet been finalized but will probably be about $2. The money that is raised at this event will be donated to Albert Einstein Hospital. Therefore, if you attend this event, you WILL get points! More details will be coming up about this. I went last year and I STRONGLY recommend you go. It's an enjoyable event for everybody! :)

Have a GREAT weekend!
