Special Guests
Mr. White
Mr. White came to our meeting today. He was impressed with our table at Cow Harbor Day and he also stressed the need for thank you's. He wants us to follow up on the project that our money went to for the Tsunami. He also told us about his new organization, Friends of Students for 60,000 Inc. it is made up of Northport alumni, parents, and other adults. The first meeting was in June, and 120 people came, but ever since the number of people at the meetings has been decreasing. They are planning to go on a fact finding trip down to Nicaragua, to possibly start their own project or support ours. The club also had a party in August which raised $750. On October 1 from 7-9, Sister Joan will be giving a talk at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs. She lives in Nicaragua, and will be going back right after this talk. There might be a fee to attend this talk, and the money will go to Joan to bring down to Nicaragua, with guidelines. Finally, we sent money to pro mujar. This is a charity that gives women $100 to $150 each to start their own business. We sent enough money to pay for 6 associations of 20 women each. To see more of this charity, go to promujar.org.
