  1. National Honor Society January General Meeting 1/6/14

  2. Happy New Year! • Welcome Back! We hope you enjoyed your break. • Today’s agenda • Review of important procedures and NHS policies • January project details • Upcoming semester projects

  3. Meeting Procedures • Event preview emails will be sent a few days before a general meeting. • Please review the information prior to coming to the meeting. Have an idea of which projects you’d like to sign up for. • At meetings, events will be discussed, and event sign ups will take place.

  4. Meeting Procedures Cont. • Members will be dismissed by table number to either sign up for projects or leave to go home. • You will be forming a single file line. If you fail to do so, you will be told to go to the end of the line. • There is not giant rush. Our meetings tend to go very quickly and you will have plenty of time to sign up for projects.

  5. Reminders – NHS Member Responsibilities • Show up late to an event = 1 hour docked • Don’t show up to an event that you reserved = Probation • 2nd Offense = Removal • Unexcused absence from meeting = Probation • 2nd Offense = Removal

  6. Reminders • Appropriate dress is required for events: Closed toe shoes, shorts or pants, appropriate shirt. • Please follow school dress code. • Sign In & Sign Out: At events, you must sign in and out with a board member in order to receive credit! • If you do not sign in or out, your hours will not be documented. There are no exceptions to this.

  7. Requirements • Junior Inductees – 5 hours by end of 2nd semester. • Senior Inductees – 7 hours by end of April. Seniors given priority. • Of course, you can do more! End of year, we celebrate members who are “star volunteers.”

  8. Important Note: • There will not be a shortage of events. As long as you attend meetings or follow up, you will be fine. • Space out your volunteering. Do not wait until last minute, but at the same time, don’t feel like you have to participate each month, unless you want to of course! • You will have plenty of opportunities to fulfill your hour requirement as long as you don’t procrastinate. • Any volunteering that exceeds the minimum requirement this year will count toward your total as a senior. Feel free to go above and beyond!

  9. That being said… • If you must drop out of a volunteering project and need to secure a replacement or want to pick up shifts – try the Facebook group. • Add yourself: Search Palm Harbor University High School National Honor Society • Replacements must both email phuhsnhs11@gmail.com to legitimize and confirm the switch. • All meeting minutes, volunteer lists, and special announcements will also be sent out on the FB page and NHS website link from phuhs.org in addition to your emails.
