Beta Club Treasurer

I would like to join Beta Club to further my leadership skills and to work with teenagers my age to help fundraise for the needy. It’s important to help out our community locally. This means both actively helping out at different agencies such as soup kitchens and animal shelters, as well as helping to keep our environment clean. By working together, I think we will all be able to reach our goals and will be able to impact our community. Along the way we will help others and gain valuable life skills.

Donations to illnesses: we can set up a charity inside the school or perhaps fieldtrips could be helping the homeless.

By doing this, it will not only make for a better community, but it will also provide a sense of unity and enrich the fulfillment of society members within the community. The National Honor Society as a whole can run a monthly food drive, in doing so, non-perishable food items can be gathered and distributed to those in need. In addition to having food drives; other drives can be factored in, such as winter clothing and shoes. There is a multitude of students that attend school and do not have the proper clothing for the season. Before winter begins, a winter coat drive can be held, and the donations can be dispersed among the students who do not own one, as well as others living in the community. As well as implementing food and donation drives, we can also implement a soup kitchen. The soup kitchen can be held within our school, where it is warm and cozy for those who may not have a comfortable home environment. The soup kitchen can be held every week; fundraisers and donations will help finance the soup kitchen, and it will bring a new found appreciation within the community. We will be helping people that are financially incapable of providing for

Hello everyone! I'm Andrew String and I am running for the position of Treasurer for SURE Club. The position of treasurer is for those individuals that are very organized individual and can keep track of the income and output of money! I am definitely the right person for the job! Last year, at the Halloween Breakfast I was one of three individuals that helped sell tickets to the incoming families and students. In total, after double checking my math and counting the money twice, we did all did an awesome job and fundraised around double of what was fundraised in previous years! In addition to keeping meticulous records, I am taking Humanitarian Studies. Having constant contact with not only Mrs. Satterfield,

My first step of this project was creating flyers that I hung up in the park near my house and passed out to my neighbors. I also texted family and friends to see if they were interested in donating. All advertisement/donations

The idea that I am currently working on is recreating the Helping Hampers project mentioned above due to the large impact it has on multiple families. The hampers contain around 3 months of food and cleaning supplies in addition to presents for each family member. This project connects CKI here to a Key Club in Centennial to its feeder junior high schools which is what makes it great. CKI organizes the dates, delivery and boxes, while the collection of items occurs in high school ( I am planning with Centennial High School right now). And then, the hampers are delivered to junior high schools.

Last year I participated in Dressember. A nationwide project to help raise awareness for human trafficking. Each day of December, participants wear a dress to help spread the word that human trafficking is a prevalent issue in today's society. I would like to host a fundraiser to help raise awareness and donate money to ending modern day slavery. Since we live in such a small town, it's hard to make an impact on the rest of the nation but by doing this project we can help make a difference, starting with our small high school. Another idea I have is to host a competition against sports in each season to raise money to donate to a cause of the teams choosing. By doing this, more people will get involved and each of the teams get to show support for a good cause. There’s so much room for myself and others to grow through being a part of such an amazing student body. Starting with making incoming freshman and students that may not have very many friends feel welcome and appreciated and going all the way to trying to make our world a better

As vice president of my school's NHS chapter, I am an advocate for good causes. Our service project this year is a substantial charitable endeavor. In 1996, a fellow NHS member and friend lost a sibling to SIDS. To assist his family's fight for a cure, our chapter initiated a fundraiser. Tee-shirt sales raised thousands of dollars; a ceremony at a football game advertised our cause to the community; our slogan “Big Steps for Baby Steps” galvanized the school; a partnership with the CJ Foundation for SIDS legitimized our efforts with sponsors. Each of the school's clubs and teams has dedicated itself to the cause. A 5k in May is our culminating event. Uniting an entire school and community behind such a worthy cause is gratifying. The other

The event that the club chose to highlight is their Community Thanksgiving Dinner held each November to serve between 50-150 community members a free delicious holiday meal. To make this event happen the students have to plan the date and venue, advertise in the newspaper and around town, organize who

The first fundraiser that I would like to have is a Summer Kickoff event. This would be at the beginning of the term after school has ended and would be either a pool party, bonfire or camp themed that would kickoff this term and the summer! The next fundraiser would be in the middle of the term and could be a Car Wash or a Chocolate Drive. These would be promoted to members in ONR, our family members, friends and more! The last fundraiser of the term would be something new and innovative. I would like to open the planning of these fundraisers to general members. This way the general members would have a first hand experience in the planning and implementation of a fundraiser. It would have to be exclusive yet fair, so with the help of N’siah, I would create an application and through the application process, we would choose a few members to help. I would oversee the entire process and help the members if they need it but the majority of the planning would be in their hands so they can experience the planning of a fundraiser. Another idea for fundraisers that I had would be a Restaurant Fundraiser where I partner with a restaurant and the funds would go to Beresheit.

My high school years have been filled with many great memories; it is safe to say that I had an enjoyable high school experience. Some of my most unforgettable moments of my high school career have been in Beta Club. In 9th grade, I joined the Beta Club at my school. I joined because I knew that this club was an organization for those who love to serve others, and I know that decision will have a lasting impact on my life as well as on others’ lives. I was elected President of the Beta Club at my school in 11th grade. I led my club of about 40 members throughout the year as we took part in various service activities such as: trash pickup for Adopt a Highway, sponsoring a child for the holidays, and visiting local elementary schools to read

Fundraising is a crucial element to being successful in any group, and usually fundraisers are more profitable when they have a unique element. Last year, my color guard team in high school wanted new uniforms. Our old uniforms were falling apart, but instead of just asking the school for the money to purchase the new uniforms, we as a team decided to fundraise for them. As the captain of the team, I decided that we should do a pie in the face contest. At a basketball game, we put out a table with jars on it. Each jar belonged to a member of the color guard team, and if their individual jar reached twenty five dollars, that member would get a pie in the face at the next basketball game. This was a unique, quirky way to raise money and get the

I am confident that my qualifications are a great match for this position. I currently serve as the Development Manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater St. Joseph. In this position I assume responsibility for all non-program operations which include directing all fundraising and marketing efforts in the community. I also work with the board of directors and Big Brother Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City’s leadership team to development and implement a strategic & fundraising plan that aligns with the overall network goals. In the past two years I have tremendously increased the organization’s revenue through grant and corporate support. The organization’s biggest fundraiser Bowl for Kids’ Sake has more than tripled in revenue becoming the organizations largest source of income. The increased revenue has resulted in the hiring of additional program staff allowing our organization to

I believe I should be the treasurer for three reasons. First, I am organized. I keep track of how much I spend and when I spend it. As treasurer, I will make sure I know how much money we have and how much we are spending. Second, I am frugal. Believe me when I say I will hunt for the best bargains anywhere I go. If we are purchasing snacks, for example, I will look everywhere to see where I can get them the cheapest. Third, I am trustworthy. I know many of you do not know me, but I can promise that I am honest and can be trusted. Because I am organized, frugal and trustworthy, I believe I would make a great treasurer. Thank you for your support!

My experience growing up with parents who didn’t know much about money will make me an excellent fit for the position. Growing up, I had to learn about checking, saving, credit cards, loans, and the concept of money at a very young age if I wanted to be financially successful later on in life. I research hours on end about checking, saving, credit cards, and loans and thus later on opened my own bank account and credit card at an age of 18, all without a cosigner. In today world it is
