I know that everyone is very busy now but I think it is wise to check the messages that you receive from me at this time as ignoring them can lead to problems with you CAS folder.

Please note that you must have at least ONE activity that is still open and you are participating in - actively.  There are a few activities that seem to have stopped but it is not clear from your entries.  Take 10 minutes to go through and check you are up-to-date.

Some activities that are on-going are:


Rhino group - they are selling friendship bands to give to an organisation that works with protecting rhinos.  They have many beautifully handcrafted armbands that they will be selling along with information about rhino preservation.  Look out for them and contribute to the cause.

Amnesty - as this group is now an official group in the Stockholm region some members will be attending training and some events with other gymnasium students in Stockholm.

Annexe Council - At Christmas annexe council raised 1000kr by selling candy canes.  Last week the money was sent to Stadsmission to help people most in need.  Well done.  Currently the new annexe council is selling Valentine candies to collect money for the Nepal project.

Newspaper - the Quirky Quibbler - now has an official page - look out for details when they have some articles - COMING SOON!
