LES Girls Club 3 Josh Wilson 3/10/10

Today Noel, Harry, and I went to the Lower East Side Girls Club for the third time.  Jenny (the head of the organization) wasn’t there in the beginning but Luna (one of the main workers) was.  She was with a couple of girls that were part of the organization and a director / film maker named Santa.  While the plate of cookies went around the room Santa started to explain what her job entitled her to do and what she was going to do with the girls today.  She was teaching the girls how to make a public service announcement, unlike us though they were going to use video cameras.  We watched the Girls make a draft of there video on paper.  While we were watching them we realized that we knew one of them that was in the seventh grade from Friends.  We talked to her for a couple of minutes and than Jenny came.  She brought us upstairs and we started to talk about the walk-a-thon.

Jenny started talking about the team we started on the Girls Club sight (http://www.girlsclub.org/).  Our team name is the LREI Knights and I am the team captain.  Unfortunately we only have three members right now, Noel, Harry, and I.  Jenny told us that we should hand out the flyers in our school and try to get more people to join.  After Jenny spoke for a while we started to tell her about our public service announcements and our Social Justice Teach-Inn.  After we talked for around twenty minutes we said goodbye to the girls and left.  We are looking for our next visit on Wednesday the seventeenth.
