Christmas Service Hours Update - December 25th, 2013

[Merry Christmas, folks!]

     Like usual, I'm sort of extremely late. My apologies. I'm like a father neglecting his poor children.  I'll be out of office soon along with these other old people, so hopefully the next prospective Secretary will be more responsible than me in the coming year!

----------

     Anyway, our holiday updates include: 

          1.) Recycling / Project Reach Services on December 6th, 2013.

          2.) Club Meetings on:

                - November 21st, 2013

                - December 5th, 2013

          3.) San Gabriel Neighborhood Cleanup on December 15th, 2013.

          4.) Almansor Park Cleanup on December 21st, 2013.

          5.) Bottle Crushing hours are updated up to December 7th, 2013.
          6.) Habitat Restoration on December 7th, 2013

---------- 

     Once again, a few things to note. The asterisks before your name indicate that you are exempt from meetings due to other school activities (e.g. Band Council, MoMa Motivators, etc.), and I will overlook the amount of meetings that you have attended. However that doesn't mean that you should skip out on the meetings when that activity doesn't coincide with us. It'll make us sad. It'll show your interaction and dedication to our club. Yeah.

     If your name is not on the current roster, then you were removed from the club after Quarter 1. If you want to confirm that you were removed, check at the bottom of the entire list. Those are the people who earned service credit, but did not meet the requirements. If your name isn't in the pile or the current roster, then you were most likely removed from the list because you gained a cumulative amount of zero hours throughout Quarter 1. Same rules will apply on the Post-Semester 1 roster.

     Also, please don't make me feel guilty for not giving you service credit when you were removed from the club. There are people who attend meetings and go to events that aren't in the club anymore. Due to my extreme squishiness I gave you the hours onto your Quarter 1 totals, so when you apply to college and/or Los Renombrados, you'll have those hours on record. Please though, no more. Thank you.

      Double check your hours for the outside events. Since I didn't attend them, I didn't have a solid copy on hand and I might've missed a name or two. I have the Garvey Park Clean-Up Column on ready when we come back from it. I'll make the final update after that service, since it's the last one of the Semester, but it won't be big. That's all.

     *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP.

SAVE THE DATE and be prepared!  We will be having a neighborhood cleanup around our beloved school this SUNDAY.

After we clean the neighborhood up there no one will ever complain of living in a filth.

Time: 9am- 12pm 

Location: Peck Park Conservation Park, 5401 N. Peck Rd Arcadia, CA 91006

Snacks and water will be provided to volunteer!

Sign up below with your full name and ID number.

For any questions or concerns, you are free to contact your loving environmental staff :)

We will be meeting up a bit past the parking lot (there should be other people congregating in the general area). It'll be a bit hard to find so make sure you make a turn once you see a sign like this.

Service Hours Update - November 16th, 2013

 [Right, well anyway...]

     Aside from me whining about the amount of people in this club, I am finally on time! Sort of! I still hit the deadline for my this update, so I think I don't deserve to die this time. The only thing I'm possibly late on is bottle crushing. But you guys'll forgive me, right? After all, I am being extra generous with Bottle Crushing hours.

 ----------

     So without further ado, the services that I updated include:

          1.) Recycling/Project Reach Services on:

               - November 8th, 2013

               - November 15th, 2013

          2.) Club Meetings on:

               - October 31st, 2013

               - November 7th, 2013

               - November 14th, 2013

          3.) Habitat Restoration on November 2nd, 2013

          4.) PTSA Service on November 9th, 2013

          5.) Garvey Park Clean-Up on November 11th, 2013

          6.) Bottle Crushing from October 18th to November 15th, 2013

----------

     I changed and did a little house keeping in our hours sheet; I moved the people who were removed from the club to the bottom of the sheet to make things a little bit easier for me when I'm scrolling up and down the page. I'm only keeping their names around for when Los Renombrados swings around next year and the Juniors get hungry for their hours; and or whenever people need their hours for college applications. I'm not cruel enough to publicly shame people, guys.

     Another thing to mention, since I wasn't at the service and I didn't make the Sign-In sheets that day,I think I am missing an entire sign in sheet for the Recycling on November 8th. So if a good number of you are missing your hours for the service, I'll know something is up. Remember, notify me! Be the ambassador! I don't bite. Actually none of us do  except maybe Kristy.

     Also, the little asterisks next to the highlighted names of people mean that they are immune to club meetings due to MoMa, or other disturbances that get in the way of our club meetings. Freshmen are naturally immune to this because all of them have to attend MoMa meetings every so often on Thursdays. Poor, poor Freshmen. Still, just because you are immune to the meeting requirement doesn't mean you shouldn't skip out when you don't have the meetings. That's bad. You all want to be good boys and girls, right?

     Right?

     *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP.

Service Hours Update - October 30th, 2013

[Late, late. I am so late.]

     First of all, let me apologize for how late I am in making this post. I've been really lazy recently and just, eh. Okay alright I won't make any excuses I'm sorry. Three weeks have passed and I'm supposed to be making them every two weeks. Slap me.

----------

     Now that that's out of the way, let's see what's been updated as of late:

          1.) Recycling/Project Reach Services on:

               - October 4th, 2013

               - October 18th, 2013

               - October 25th, 2013

          2.) Club Meetings on:

               - October 3rd, 2013

               - October 10th, 2013

               - October 17th, 2013

               - October 24th, 2013

          3.) E-Waste Service on:

               - October 12th, 2013

          4.) Almansor Park clean up on:

               - October 13th, 2013

          5.) Bottle Crushing has been updated as of October 18th, 2013.

----------

     That is one huge list. This is exactly what happens when I don't keep things updated. Anyway, a few words before I end this certain reminder. I'm sure a lot of you guys already know this, but the meetings that you folks attend don't give any sort of hours. Some of you operate under the assumption of that and it only ends in your doom. Of course I still have the ability to reinstate you guys into the club, if you really want to stay. Just now I put someone back into the club. Of course you need a legit excuse and you gotta make us feel sorry for you. Remember we're only booting people because they can't uphold their own responsibilities due to excessive lethargy. For those of you who weren't informed of your apparent booting and went to recycling anyway, I still added an hour onto your quarter 1 hours because you performed labor anyway. I won't be adding to your hours anymore after that week, so make sure if you're still in the club or not.

     Anyway congratulations to all of you that survived this First Quarter. I'll be looking forward to working with all of you guys for my last term in office.

Your Secretary,

Maknoon

P.S. I promise I'll collect Bottle Crushing hours this week~

2013-2014 Q1 -Getting Personal- Concerning Hours and Requirements

For those who weren't here at this week's meeting for my address:

Our hours/meetings requirement per quarter has been 5/5 for members. Meetings are not mandatory for people involved in MoMa. Because of some short recyclings, we've brought down the hours requirement to 4.5. However, there have been some cases in which members do not meet our requirements because of problems unknown to us. I would like to address this.

As you might all have figured out after being an Environmental Club member, we officers are, in fact, human (shocking, I know). We know how it feels to be just short on hours or even a few away because of other obligations and priorities, since everyone is so enveloped with activities at SG. Sometimes we meet these requirements; sometimes we don't.

I've made an executive decision after considering everything that has been brought up to us officers. We will consider your case -if you had any problems reaching our set requirements-, only if you bring it up privately to me (president) on Facebook, the club's email (sghsenvironmental@gmail.com), or my personal email (jestinwith.an.e@gmail.com). My decision may be controversial, and enforcers of rules may question my decision on the grounds that I'm not being entirely fair to everyone in the club, that my decision leads to the dissolution of "rules", that this isn't realistic.

Visiting a father's grave and having family problems are much more important. If you believe you shouldn't be kicked out because of unforeseen circumstances, tell me with a passion, that you aren't just a member in this organization for college, but a member because you love what we do. The experience is way more important than hours.

Still, if you slide by, there will be strings attached, which may include a higher hours requirement next quarter, higher meeting requirement, or delegating specialized work. Also, not everyone will slide by; we have to keep objectivity.

Thank you for reading this post; I hope I conveyed my passionate feeling about this intelligibly.

-Your 2013-2014 President, Jestin Ma

[Bum-ba-da-daaah!]
 

     Let this mark (Haha, no.) our 2nd hours update! Although it's nothing new, we're already having people almost reach double digit Service Hours. You go, guys. Work harder my slaves!

 ----------

      Anyway, today's updates include:

          1.) Club Meetings on:

               - September 19th, 2013

               - September 26th, 2013

           2.) Recycling/Project Reach Services on:

               - September 20th, 2013

               - September 27th, 2013

----------

     Not much of a big update, but here's a little bit on my updating policy.

     Every week after a Recycling/Project Reach Service, I try to update hours on a Saturday. If not, the Sunday. Park Cleanups and Habitat Restorations are posted on the day after they are performed. I update hours every week, but I only make a BlogSpot and Facebook post every two weeks to avoid clogging up the blog and page with hours updates. The Bottle Crushing list is checked and updated every two weeks, so don't get too anxious if you don't see an update on that service today. Therefore if you're too lazy to do the math, you'll see a Bottle Crushing update on October 5th; that is, if I'm not too wasted from the SAT that day to update hours.

     *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, feel free to tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP.

 

Anyway, that's all I have to say folks,

Mark Lieu, Secretary

Service Hours Update - September 15th, 2013

[Ta-dah!]

     The Service Hour Records are ready to launch! It literally took me the entire day to get the roster up and running, and the formatting seems to be in great shape as well! We've got a whooping total of 207 members this year, and that's going to be torture every time I update the hours. Well, I'm in no position to complain, since I kind of did campaign and sign up for this. Heh. Anyway, here's a status update on what's included here.

-----

     Updates include:

          1.) Club Meetings on:

               - August 29th, 2013

               - September 5th, 2013

               - September 12th, 2013

          2.) Recycling/Project Reach Services on:

               - September 6th, 2013

               - September 13th, 2013

          3.) Garvey Park Clean Up - [September 1st, 2013]

          4.) Habitat Restoration - [September 7th, 2013]

 -----

     Just by looking at the recorded hours so far, I can already tell who's going to be the people that'll be the most dedicated to the club. Some of you guys already fulfilled the hours requirement by going to the Park Clean up and Habitat Restoration, which is awesome! Just a friendly reminder once again, the requirements are 5 service hours and 5 meetings, and to be honest it isn't that much if you take advantage of the stuff we plan on the weekends. If you don't have rides, just tell us and we could find someone to get you one; after all, there was a section that asked if you could provide rides to outside events, remember? Also be sure to check for mistakes, since they are most likely going to be some on this document since it was so huge.

     The Bottle Crushing and Driving hours are not yet available because I haven't checked with the nurse yet, and we haven't made our first paper delivery. I will however check the nurse's office for Bottle Crushing hours by the end of this week, so the hours will be added onto your current total.

     *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, feel free to tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP.

Glad to be of Service

FINAL Hours Update - May 31st, 2013

[Happy Graduation!]

     It's summer! We're finally done! Needless to say that there was a large amount of suffering and or fun involved. Well, I really don't know what to say. It's too early for me in the morning to say anything cheesy.

     Well, anyway, the final hours update includes:

          1.) Meeting - May 16th, 2013

          2.) Recycling/Project Reach - May 17th, 2013

          3.) Park Clean Up (Social) - May 23rd, 2013(?)

          4.) Bottle Crushing Hours - April 11th, 2013~May 31st, 2013

     I am such a bad person for updating so late. Haha. My apologies for those who depended on Bottle Crushing so much.

     Anyway, really that's all I have to say.

     Thanks for not stealing my pens, I guess. See you next year.

   *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP. Thanks and regards.

Hours Update - May 12th, 2013

[BLAAAAAAARGH]

     Hello my dear people! Club members! Yeeeee. You know what I'm talking about. Just reminding you that hours have been updated.

     As for the sheet, the updates have included:

          1.) Meeting - May 2nd, 2013

          2.) Recycling/Project Reach - May 3rd, 2013

          3.) Habitat Restoration - May 4th, 2013

          4.) Meeting - May 9th, 2013

          5.) Recycling/Project Reach - May 10th, 2013

      I know I've yet to check bottle crushing, cause I'm darn forgetful. Guh.

     Anyway, there's not much for me to say to you guys after this. Just remember that there's only 1 more recycling left, so make sure that you can still make it if you have 2 hours. There's also bottle crushing that you could do, so you can still make it if you really want to dedicate your time to this club. Heh, I highly doubt though.

      Since I'm lacking words to say to you guys, I'll just leave this interesting article here.

      Good luck on that APUSH test on Wednesdays, juniors!

    *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP. Thanks and regards. 

- Secretary

Hours Update - April 28th, 2013

[Not much to say here!]

Just another typical update for you guys:

     1.) Meeting - April 17th, 2013

     2.) Recycling/Project Reach - April 18th 2013

     3.) Meeting - April 25th, 2013

     4.) Recycling/Project Reach - April 26th, 2013

     Of course, Driving Hours is included within those two services. Once again, thanks for attending them! It'd be awfully lonely and unproductive if we only got five people each service.

     For you guys who weren't at the meeting, from today forth I'll be updating hours continuously, but I'll only post a notification every two weeks including the services updated, and whether or not bottle crushing was counted during that time period as well! The post will be similar to the normal hours update posts.

     And MoMa people, if you're reading this and weren't at the meeting that other time, which you probably weren't, meetings are pretty much void since we know that the program conflicts with them so much.
     *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP. Thanks and regards.

Hey guys! Looks like another day of Peck Park. Yes, this event corresponds with the May SAT. However, for those who have no plans for that day, no excuses! ^_^
We will be weeding and giving the plants a nice trim. Snacks are provided, and please dress appropriately, meaning closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing.
,
The parking lot will be hard to spot so make a turn once you see a sign like the one below.


To those taking the May SAT: Good luck, sleep well. Congratulations to those who are going to prom that following evening and we'll see the rest of you guys at Peck!
Did we mention there will be a group biking for those who love to pedal and conserve energy?

Hours Update - April 14th, 2013

[This time with updated Bottle Crushing Hours!]

     Oh boy, I finally updated Bottle Crushing hours! Don't hate me anymore guys!

     Just kidding. Anyway, the updates include:

          1.) Meeting - April 11th, 2013

          2.) Recycling - April 12th, 2013

          3.) Project Reach - April 12th, 2013

     As for you MoMa kids, I'll make sure that we will come up with a solution for you guys about the amount of meetings you'd need to attend.

     *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP. Thanks and regards.

     G'night y'all.

Hours Update - April 7th, 2013

[Now with separate hours for Quarters 3 and 4!]

     Well, I formally apologize for sort of slacking off in the updates. That's one thing for sure. 

     Without further ado, our updates for today include:

          1.) Neighborhood Cleanup - March 31st, 2013

          2.) Meeting - April 4th, 2013

          3.) Recycling - April 5th, 2013

          4.) Habitat Restoration - April 6th, 2013
     And remember, we've changed the requirements to 3 meetings and 3 hours for this semester, so there's less worry and less work to go around, and it'll be easier to cram in those hours at the last minute.

      *Obligatory Disclaimer: Feel free for check for any silly mistakes and stuff that I might've done wrong. If I did miss anything, go ahead and tell me on Facebook or eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com. I'll double check and fix it ASAP. I hope the semi-new format doesn't confuse anyone. 

     Well, that's all for today. Now hurry up and finish all that homework that you've left behind.

FINAL Quarter 3 Hours Update - March 16th, 2013

[So we decided to take it easy on you guys.]

     Yeah, apparently we'd be kicking out approximately 50 people if we retained our original intention of five hours and five meetings. So we decided to tune it down a bit. Anyone with less than two hours has pretty much been TERMINATED from the club; those names are highlighted in red. Pretty painful isn't it? Anyway, I'm hoping you guys do a better job next time. Jestin really meant it when he said that we were lenient, because next Quarter we're tuning down the wretched requirements from five hours and five meetings to three hours and three meetings. So I'm expecting nobody to get kicked out! No matter how lazy you are!
 (Although I'm probably expecting it to happen anyway!)

          So without further ado, the final hour updates include:
               1.) Meeting - March 14th, 2013
               2.) Recycling - March 15th, 2013
               3.) Bottle Crushing Hours - March 15th, 2013
               4.) Cleanup at Garvey Park - March 16th, 2013

     As always, feel free to check for any silly mistakes or events that you might have attended that I haven't credited you for. Don't you dare try to pull anything shady though, cause I have all the archives here and I'd double check them before putting in any hours that I might have missed!

     Enjoy your Spring Break guys! Catch up on your lost hours of sleep!

- Mark Lieu, Secretary

Park Clean Up 3/16/13

Just because we're so generous and lenient, there will be a last-minute park clean up for all who still need hours.

Date: March 16, 2013
When: 12 PM - 2 PM
Where: Garvey Park

Please sign up by commenting below with your name and ID number! Thank you!

6. David Pham 1518656

Hours Update - March 10th, 2013

Here you go.
     As far as I'm concerned, the hours updated include:
           1.) Recycling - March 1st, 2013
                                  - March 8th 2013
           2.) Project Reach - March 8th, 2013
           3.) Meetings - February 28th, 2013
                                - March 7th, 2013
           4.) Almansor Park Clean Up - March 10th, 2013
           5.) Bottle Crushing up to March 6th, 2013 
     On a separate note however, there are hour and meeting requirements this quarter. If you don't want me to kick you out, which I will, make sure you attend at least five meetings and perform free labor for at least five hours with us!
     As usual, if there's any silly mistakes in the Hours Sheet, have complaints to tell me, or questions, go ahead and eMail us at sghsenvironmental@gmail.com.
     Have a good day y'all.

- Mark Lieu, Secretary
