*****
Several of the children have mentioned an interest in starting a business/entrepreneurship club. I am going to manage the club for them and teach/facilitate it. There may be guest teachers as well-we'll see what is needed. My plan is to teach them business basics and support them in implementing their own ideas as a team.
Right now-it is only open to HHSTC members. In general the meetings will be on Fridays at 5:30-6:30 in the clubhouse but the first one will be on Thursday, June 18th at 5:30pm.
I will need some parent volunteers to help with errands as needed. For each volunteer I would like your name, phone and email. A child other then your own will be contacting you to ask for help. I would like parents who do any necessary driving (to pick up supplies etc...) to keep approximate track of their mileage. You will not be reimbursed but I want the kids to track it as part of the expense of the business.
Each participant should bring $5 to the first session. We will pool together the $5 to have our "startup" funds and then at the end of the summer we'll split the profit so that 50% goes to charity (of the kids choice) and 50% is split up between all the participating children.
In terms of age of kids participating-I think that rising 1st-6th graders is good guideline but if you have a younger or older child who wants to participate-please use your judgement. If they are on the younger side-please plan to have one parent there to help them.
All projects and profits are by team not individual.
Each participant will get their own login to our blog at: http://Bizkids.Wordpress.com/ so that they can post updates.
I really do not want to spend tons of time developing a long list of rules and regs-so lets all just use our common sense. Parents are welcome to attend any sessions at any time to observe.
While there is not an attendance requirement per se-in order for the club to work you have to attend regularly. Also, good behavior is required as well. If a child is asked to leave due to poor behavior they will not be able to come back or get their $5 back or get any of the profits.
Schedule:
Thursday, June 18th 5:30pm
Friday, June 26th, 5:30pm
Friday, July 3, 5:30pm
Friday, July 10, 5:30pm
Friday, July 17, 5:30pm
Friday, July 24, 5:30pm
Friday, July 31, 5:30pm
Friday, Aug 7, 5:30pm (last session)
To sign up send an email to Cordelia@cordeliablake.com with the following:
child's name, age, parent's name, parent best phone number, child's email (if they have one), parent's email
Thanx!
