142 A Step-by-Step Guide to Making W ven though CV had X many different clubs W of varying origins, l some students found that their interests were not met by the current organizations on campus. These ambitious students attempted to start their own club. Last year, students in collaboration with teacher Lori Kim formed the Honors Science Club. lt wasn't difficult at all, commented Miss Kim, the students followed the appropriate steps and got it going. Some ski enthusiasts tried to start up a club for those interested in skiing. Unlike Honors Science, Ski Club had a difficult time getting started and found that the process of starting a club is not always an easy one. First, an idea had to appear in a student's already cluttered brain. Then, the student shared that idea with a friend or two. lf they liked it, they united to pursue writing a club constitution. This was not an easy chore, however, it included stating the intent of the club, arrangement of leadership, terms of office, objectives of the organization, and amount of dues to be collected from prospective members. Jon Campbell, a member of the Ski Club executive committee who was responsible for drafting a constitution, said, lt's difficult because you're afraid you'll forget something important. Next, a faculty member had to be convinced to sponsor the club. Ski Club President Pro Tempore Fred Koegler commented, We asked almost U every teacher to be our sponsor, but most of the interested ones already are advisers for other clubs and don't have the time. Luckily, Mr. Sambar agreed to sponsor us. Then, a sign-up of twenty- five to fifty interested students had to be presented with the constitution to cabinet. Llpon approval, the leaders of the club met with the Director of Organizations to negotiate an official meeting day. After this tedious process, the club was free to operate on campus. Lots of students had ideas for clubs, but few were willing to put forth the time and effort necessary to start one. As the founders of the Ski Club learned, many problems and difficulties could arise. by Elizabeth Ahten .wk Q K Q Q ! Q Q 1 Q Starting Your Own Club ws!
