Welcome to 20012. Seniors stay focused. Don't let "Seniorites" cause your hard earned efforts to decline before May. :)

It is mandatory that you bring donations of any canned or boxed goods for Cobb Christmas by Dec. 8th.  Cards can be picked up at that time for Valentines to soldiers.  They are due by December 15.

If you are a returning Junior, or paid $5.00 come by room H123 and pick up your shirt!

Get started writing Valentines to the soldiers.  All cards will be due December 16th.
We will also discuss plans for the Cobb Christmas Parade.  Beta Club always presents a great banner for the assembly. This year the assembly is December 9th.  Each member should bring in Cans for donation.  Service hours will be granted.

T-Shirts were order November 18th for returning Junior Club Members, and all those who paid $5.00. Shirts will arrive before the Christmas Break.

All membership dues are now past due and must be paid prior to the end of the semester. Seniors who have not paid dues will not receive an honor cord for graduation ceremony in May.

The last day that Christmas Cards to Soldiers can be accepted is Monday November 14th.  5 cards =1 service hour. It is mandatory that all members participate.  Final collection of $5.00 for any non returning junior member who wants to purchase a t-shirt is the 14th also.
