Club Meeting Minutes- Oct. 14th

Last Tuesday’s meeting began with worship and prayer, followed by a mixer. All newcomers were congregated to one side of the room, while the 2nd+ yearers each found a newcomer to introduce to the group. It was an excellent way to be reminded of names without the use of name-tags. I (Alexa) introduced Tianna Strom, a 16 year-old ballet student from my church, who is in Mr. Sleadd’s speech class.

Following this mixer was announcements:

• Aaron gave a website update: there is now is list posted on-line of recommended books for apologetics

• On November 11th, there will be no Clarion meeting at the highschool. However, families are encouraged to find ways to fellowship with each other informally on that day.

• Reminder: Don’t run in the hallway, Don’t use the stairs, use your indoor voices, stay off the courtyard grass, and clean up after yourself.

• Be sure to review the NCFCA website for script rules for platform and interpretive speeches.

At 6:55, the gathering was dismissed, and students and parents each went to different rooms according to category. I attended the Apologetics meeting coached by Mr. Brad McMurray in the hallway corner during the first session, where Lacey Scott and I each delivered cards.

At 7:45, the session ended and I headed over to the impromptu room. The group was very large (yay!!!) so Jachin Scott, an alumni, took a few of the students including me, to an empty room down the hall. We were all apologetics students, I being the only one who had presented that night, so they got a chance to give apologetics cards rather than impromptus during that session.

After half an hour of “fellowshipping” indoors, we stampeded outdoors for more “fellowshipping”. We sang a hearty “Happy Birthday” to Jachin Scott, and then chanted “Speech! Speech! Speech!” He obliged and told us that he’d had cookies and ice cream for his birthday rather than cake.

It was, all in all, and fabulous evening. I look forward to next Tuesday.
