President...................................................................Reyna Richman
Co-Vice-President..............................................Doreen Brittingham
Co-Vice President..............................................Maria Capitummino
Co-Secretary...........................................................Dawn Hemmings
Co-Secretary...........................................................Rocio Hernandez

Anna Seale will continue in her role as Treasurer, and Christine Michiko Chan is our new Website Assistant. Congratulations to all of our newly elected officers!

Our meeting was enjoyable and productive. We solidified plans to attend the upcoming Brooklyn Reading Council Conference and the Student Life Conference, and made plans for the spring semester. We unveiled our new NAEYC resource rack of brochures and pamphlets, and provided free scissors for students to add to their "Mary Poppins" bags. (Last semester we provided free glue.) The winners of our door prizes were Faiza, Llalaira, and Maria. Each received a goldtone "Circle of Children" pin from the NAEYC.

The yearbook photographer attended our meeting and took a lovely picture of all the members who were present. We hope to have it available for posting real soon!

The club will be involved in a number of important projects and events over the coming weeks and months. Please mark your calendars!
