Our club is a co-sponsor of the LaVenture Middle School Builders
Club and the Conway K Club.
The LaVenture Builders Club members met on November 22nd, 2004
and selected their officers. Additionally, they began to build
an aggressive agenda that provides a focus on community service
projectsThe Builders Club
currently has 20 members. The faculty advisors include;
Erin Duey, Darcy Resetar and Mike McManus. Club member Ken
McCulloch through his persistence and initiative was the key
component that made this important community youth program a
reality.
Builders Clubs
are open to any middle school student who wants to join. Each
club and school principal has the latitude to set conditions for
membership, so it varies from club to club. Generally, any
student who is interested in performing community service may
join Builders Club.
The kids in the Builders Club have helped us with our
fundraisers.
Most recently they have:
* Helped sell tulips for our club
* Worked at the Salmon BBQ fundraiser
* Volunteered at the Humane Society
* Collected food for the needy
* Volunteered at the SPARK Daycare
