Updates!

Hey guys, it's been quite a while since our last post! Here's some updates on what the Centennial DreamCatchers have been up to recently:

Freshman Orientation!

Back in March, Centennial had their Freshman orientation where we got to meet all the incoming freshmen.  We set up a booth in the cafeteria along with all the other clubs and tried to recruit new members. We had well over 50 signups! Hope they keep interest and get involved in the club!

Dreamcatchers! 

Some DreamCatchers from the different clubs came together and made dreamcatchers at Optimal Hospice for their staff appreciation luncheon.

New Officers!

Thanks to everyone that applied for a position and congratulations to the new officers for the 2014-2015 school year-

End of 2013-2014 School Year! 

Well, another year of high school is over.  Here is the DreamCatchers club picture.  These are some of the members that remained active in the club throughout the school year.  Thanks to you all!  We'll definitely be missing our seniors but we look forward to another awesome year!

Potluck!

In May we had our annual DreamCatchers potluck!  Members from all the Bakersfield clubs, as well as Optimal Hospice staff members, came together for some summer fun.  There was food, henna tattoos, games, and lots and lots of water balloons!  It was a great time getting to know everyone and new friendships were made.

Meeting Caitlin!

Caitlin Crommett came down to Bakersfield this month.  She met with all the club presidents, both old and new, to catch up on everything thats been going on.  It was really awesome finally getting to meet her and discussing the future of the DreamCatchers!

Dental Dream!

The presidents of Centennial, Liberty, and Stockdale came together for our first summer dream! The patient is 86 years old and still has all her teeth so we decided to put together a basket with some dental goodies.  It had the basics- toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, and floss- as well as a fun mouth shaped ice tray and a chart that lets her know her teeth have been brushed for the day! Thanks to those that donated items for the basket!

Birthday Party Dream!

This past weekend the presidents of Centennial, Liberty, and Frontier came together along with some other members for our second summer dream which was an M&M themed birthday.  The patient had never had a large party before so thats what we did for him.  We decorated his home with plenty of balloons, streamers, and candy!  Our treasurer (also known as our designated baker), Aliza, made the specially requested chocolate pie as well as some M&M cookies.  The family and the birthday boy were so darn sweet and I hope the patient had an awesome 46th birthday!

Anyways, thats everything up until today.  Sorry for the lack of posts!  Hopefully everything will be up to date from now on.  

On another note- school starts in less than a month!  We'll schedule a training day after the club gets settled with all the new members. 

Have an awesome rest of your summer everyone! See y'all soon!
