Roising Money for the Needy, BC Lends o Helping Hond What was ABC? No, it was not the first letters of the alphabet, nor was it Channel 3 on TV. ABC which stood for Auxilium Bona Charitas lhelp good charitiesl was the first club of its kind in the school. Eddie Spears and Mike Armstrong originated the idea for the club, drew up a constitution for the club, and Eddie thought of the catchy name for the club. Getting the club started was very tough according to Angela Rupp, club treasurer. Learning the ropes - organizing and getting the club started required a major portion of the club's time. ABC began raising funds for its goal by selling goodies at the Halloween Carnival and holding various other subsequent fund-raisers. The club's goal was to help students with monetary needs and to help other charitable organizations in the community. For its first year, ABC did well in gaining steady membership and in realizing its goal. - Linh Truong is QQ 9' .s.-. X 1' ' ..
