How would you make announcements for a European Club in high school

How would you make announcements for a European Club in high school?
I am president of the european club. I gave one announcement over the loud speaker. But no one comes to the club. my first announcement was... "Come to the European club if you are intrested about European cultures like Germany, Italy, France and more. Stop by a room C-14 if you are interested." Is there a better announcement? Because I think mine sucked. Can anyone help me?

Join Facebook, and create a group. Send invitation to people in your school. Send out messages telling people the cool things that you would like to do with the club.
2 :
Ask around your circle of friends and see if you can talk them into going. Talk to the teachers and see if one of them will sponcer. Tell them you're going to do a fundraiser to go to Europe!
3 :
Say in a very, very firm and loud voice, " those interested in european culture report to room C-14

^ That's a good idea. If you make another announcement, be clear about what's going to happen in the club. Italian cooking lessons? German language classes for tourists? Guest speakers who have backpacked across Europe? Give them a reason to want to be there! Also, consider having a "meet and greet" event where you play a great European movie (try "Italian for Beginners" or "Amelie") and have European-inspired snacks (pretzels, cheese, mini pizzas, etc.)

1,600 under surveillance in UK: MI5: Most suspects linked to Pakistan By M. Ziauddin LONDON, Nov 10: Most of the 1,600 suspects being tracked by Britainâ€™s domestic spy agency are British-born and linked to Al Qaeda in Pakistan, MI5 chief Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller said in a speech to a specially invited audience here on Thursday evening. Her remarks were posted on the MI5 website on Friday. She said that Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major attacks in Britain and the threats might involve chemical and nuclear devices. Britain suffered its worst peace-time attack in July last year when...

You go up to the microphone and talk with something called a mouth. It is located in the bottom part of your head. Where you put the food in. then you yell ( it means raise ur voice ). you hold a microphone with a hand. It is located with the part i am typing with right now. then you do anything you want . ( it means ur free )

You should offer snacks!! Everyone likes free food. Food also makes events more enjoyable- raises endorphins Tell them "free snacks will be provided" Oh and make these snacks euro- related, like by country. Maybe German chocolate cake and pretzels for Germany? Canolis for Italy? Or to keep it simple (and cheaper on your wallet)- NUTELLA and cookies anyway even if this isn't the best idea, you should still use it because it will keep the members' interest and fill their stomachs lol

Your announcement needs to be more than just noise over the PA system. Usually people ignore announcements unless they hear something that they want to hear. What is the point of your group? What are you going to do and why? Why should people come? Is it about language? history? culture? What are some ways to introduce that to your peers? Give each meeting a specific theme and then cater your announcements to that theme: You might begin the announcement by speaking in German and then inviting people to learn about specific German customs, share thoughts about traditions, history, etc. Mention that each week during the month you are going to talk about, and sample if possible, traditional food and drink from the different countries. Invite people to bring along their favorite dish and recipe. Talk about government and monarchies, the histories of war and conflict amongst the European countries... and then have a RISK tournament, only amongst European nations. Basically, you need to make it appeal to the kind of people you want to attract to the meeting. Nobody wants just another class. Cheers.
9 :
European club will meet in room C-14, for those interested in European cultures, and those who want to know how to REALLY fight a war.
10 :
If there are people you know who would be interested in your club, tell them about it. Do a whole ton of fun things like International cooking day at the end of the year for all the countries you learned about. Hopefully, if people are having fun, they will tell other people. Word of mouth helps people learn about things. Also, you can put posters up in the cafeteria,hallways and bulliten boards. If your school has their own TV news, ask if you can say something on the show. People pay more attention to things they can see then something they might miss because they're talking to a friend. Try to make it sound more exciting too. Most likely if you keep it short, people will think higher of the club. Your announcement is a reflection of the club.

Look for pre-paid legal services. You can invest money in it and well just check it out. Thats one way :)
2 :
Rake yards, babysit, instead of presents for christmas money, pop cans, scrap metal (no stealing!) all those little jobs. after awhile you'll get a lot if you work at it.
3 :

Make a list of services you might be able to provide to neighbors, such as yard work, dog walking, cleaning, etc. Make yourself a flyer detailing this information with an explanation of your reason for raising money and pass it out in your area. Your picture on the flyer would be a great way to make it more personal. People who know you or have seen you would might be happy to help you make some money. If you're artistic, you can make things to sell. I used to make earrings and pins from jigsaw puzzle pieces.

How do I convince my parents to let me study abroad in Italy for a semester

How do I convince my parents to let me study abroad in Italy for a semester?
I'm 16, and I've been DYING to get out of the country for the past two years. I've done all the responsible stuff like research the exchange program, the country, laying out the information, talking to my school counselors about it, and even ordering a catelogue for my parents to look at. My mom thinks it's a great idea, and she only has doubts about the age thing. The real problem is my dad, who's way over-protective and stubborn, and he most likely will say no because he thinks I'm too young, and it's dangerous, etc. I can't get him to understand that the host families are well-screened, and there's nothing to worry about. How do I win this argument?

Tell him that you need to get a look at the world. Also that your dream have always been going to study to Italy to get a great and awesome job opportunity and that will probably make him feel guilty for not letting your dream come true.
2 :
don't let your father read my answer...if the program you're talking about is AFS, i can assure you that family aren't well-screened. i know because i've been hosting girls from USA, Jamaica and China for years through AFS and nobody at the beginning made any test on me. for that reason, many of the stranger guys who came here had lots of problems (family who forced them to make houseworks, pretending them to be their maids, and many other things i won't tell you now). i support completely your decision, all the girls i've hosted were enthousiastic about their stay in italy (even if i don't live in a very big city, but it's quite close to naples). i think that 16 is the perfect age to make you first test outside the family and take a look around in the world. by the way italy is not so dangerous and people aren't all mad. but you should really try to contact people who made the same experience you'd like to do with the same organisation and listen to their experience. maybe you should ask your father to talk with them too.

Try explaining that studying abroad is the best way to receive an education! You will learn far more being there than you would in any classroom. I have many friends who did this and not only is it a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to create life long friendships and memories, but it's a chance to become fluent in a foreign language, too. There's nothing better than travelling the world to learn about different culture and diversity. It's an experience that you will always cherish and be grateful for. Good luck, I hope you get to go!

Go to school and open my own fashion store in Chicago

Go to school and open my own fashion store in Chicago?
I will go to Chicago College, Columbia to start fashion design this summer. I want to have my own fashion store, but I am afraid that I have debt from school, so how can I borrow more money to open the store? My fashion styles are hip and funky but still elegant and wearable. How can I start for networking or find a facotry in China, India or Italy

First off, I'm a freelance fashion designer myself. In my opinion you're trying to do two things at once - go to school, and go into business. Either of these pursuits, done well, is a full-time job. Much of the information and contacts you're interested in you're going to get at school. So make school your primary occupation for a while, there'll be plenty of time to go into business when you've graduated. You're also correct: raising the money, unless you're getting it from family, will be next to impossible. (Think of how many students want money to open a fashion shop!) You will have far more credibility as far as financing your shop when you actually have the fashion design degree. What might make more sense if you want to have some kind of enterprise is either a: do it on the internet where you're not paying for bricks and mortar; or b: sell your things on consignment. There are many shops in Chicago where you could consign your items.

your primary focus should be finishing Columbia first. because the faculty advisor,who helps you plan your curriculum, and offerr you find valuable assistance in finding a job or gaining admission to graduate school.
