NARC s Supported at Kellam While some organizations crouch behind the protective shield of an impressive motto Iunior Citlvan plans and exe- cutes service projects that not only underscore the club s theme Civitan helps people but also actively involves the year as in years past the money raised from these projects went to the National Association for Retarded Citi zens INARCJ. An organization worthy of the time and effort exerted by its Civitan benefactor NARC was the recipient of all pro- ceeds from the See Saw a Thon held at Pembroke Mall. For the first time ever Civitan mem- bers passively see-sawed the hours away earning money pledged by the participants sponsors and from occasslonal on-the-spot donors. Civitan is obviously out for blood as evidenced by its semiannual blood drive and its monthly blood pressure screenings. In cooperation with the Tidewater Red Cross Iunior from students and teachers maintaining its status quo. Sponsored in conjunction with the Tidewater Heart Associa- tion a brother project was the blood pressure screenings held at various fire and rescue de- partments throughout the city. Not all Clvitan projects are health-related and community oriented but are every bit as worthwhile. Aiding new stu- dents and their parents who were not familiar with Kellam s floor plan, members offered tours at Kellam s first open house. Faculty members reciprocate Civitan s appreciation when Teacher Appreciatlon Week IS held each year. The annual celebration always includes a tea held in the teachers honor ulty members. For a club to spend its time doing good it must spend money along the way so Civi- tan held a few anti-poverty projects to replenish its treas- ury. Ranked among the most successful of Civitan s projects the sale of tumblers brought S200.00. Bringing less profit were doughnut and fruitcake sales 251 candygrams deli- vered at Christmas and Valen- tine s Day and the penny-per- vote Mr. Legs Contest. 9 school and its community.
