Mission Statement:We liked the mission statement that Shauna and Barbara put together based on their internet search and combined ideas. We will use it until a "Mission Statement" can be created during a meeting. After discussing the best time to meet - it was decided to have another meeting next week (March 4th - Monday 5:30pm - 7:30pm). That meeting will be mandatory for "Officers" and open to anyone else that wants to brain storm our new mission statement. All those attending the meeting are supposed to think about what is important to them. We are supposed to think about what we need in a club - what a club should do - what needs we have during our quest to become teachers.
ICC - "Becoming a real club" requirements:Shauna Aragon and Barbara Tuma finished the necessary paperwork to become an official club on campus. The paperwork was filed on Thursday February 21 and Barbara attended our first ICC meeting. The ICC voted to approve the club - thus making us official. Barbara stated she would like to be the ICC reprehensive since she is available on Thursdays.
Web PageThe web page is getting close to being done. We just need to add the officers and a few more links to our LINKS PAGE. We were added to Yahoo this week - and the CTA / SCTA added us to their page (YEa!!) Go to http://www.cta.org --- go into the student section - and then look at the local chapter page. -- there we are!
Officers:Those interested in being an officer in the club are:
We amended our constitution to create new job title to give everyone interested in being an officer - a title. *** Bylaw definition of officer We held the election and the results are on the membership page.
Read Across AmericaRead Across America event is this Thursday. We all selected a school to read at on Thursday 2/28/02. If you want to participate by reading to a K-12 grade classroom - let Mae know (741-4602) so she can assign you to one of the participating schools.

Mae and others talked about the "Teacher's Portfolio" and how participation in this group - and association with it looks great. It also will help distinguish yourself during the application to a credential program.
