Aloha Friday!

Aloha, everyone from ClubCharm!

Today is Friday, which only means that we have Zumba today! The girls enjoy it, Aunty Vi enjoys it, and the mommies love it too!

We have been diligent in tending to the garden, and starting soon, we will be having garden activities every single week on Thursdays with Big Sister Vivianne!

"Oh, Baby!" expo is coming up on October 8 and 9, and ClubCharm will be in attendance! We will have a booth and demo-room to showcase what ClubCharm is all about. The Big Sisters, Aunty Vi, and the Charmlings will be there with us. So come on down to the Oh, Baby expo at Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on Saturday and Sunday, October 8 and 9!

Apologies for the hiatus --

Aloha, everyone!

All apologies for the lack of posts that have been made on our blog.

The summer months have come and passed us by a little too quickly. We have had memorable visits from our members from across the Continent. A few of us took trips to different countries and states, so when we got back, we were able to share the new memories with our ClubCharm sisters.

We have many MANY new volunteers who we are just so grateful for, we have new members, and a great new activity that was added to our weekly mix.

Guess what that new activity is?

It's the new hyped-craze of Zumba!

YES! Since the end of July, the girls will be participating in an hour long Zumba course. But, what is also great is the fact that the parents are now taking part in this activity as well! ClubCharm is now offering an hour Zumba (with a few minutes of yoga to relax down to in the beginning) right after the girls do the activity. So as the girls are doing the ChitChat with the Big Sisters and Aunty Vi, the mommys are downstairs doing what their daughters just did! The course is just $5 for the parents, and boy that is great!

Thanks and look forward to new posts!

Month of May

Good afternoon, everyone!

To catch everyone up: This is the month of May, and our theme is "Common Courtesy."

Here are a few notes from the month:

-- On May 2, 2011 ~ Radiant led the first chit-chat on Common Courtesy, an introduction: Explains w/stories: 1) Mayuki and headband = taking care of other's property 2) Radiant in the office, and she broke the printer = Owning up to own faults/responsibilities. Common courtesy: Show people you're thoughtful, considerate. Why is being courteous important? To be friendly, respectful. The Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want ot be treated. Show everyone who you are! You can do this by your attitude, which reflects your character. It is important to apologize and mean it! Also, say, "I love you" to your parents! Practice being courteous during the chit-chat, and Radiant (or whoever may be doing the chit-chat).

-- May = Common courtesy - thoughtful actions: Specific - Clean up toys, wait your turn, fix what you break, own up to what you break, don't take what's not yours, when you're crossing the street; Make an effort: start small, add on (build up) look interested!

-- Good manners, thoughtful actions are all apart of common courtesy. Word of the day: Honesty. Honesy means to tell the truth. But, in the context and it relates to common courtesy, if someone spilled milk and you helped clean up, it still isn't common sense and is known as tattling. No one is hurt, but you tell on everything, and it becomes annoying. There are times when we should keep things to ourselves. What if someone says "fat," "short," etc. You can only control what YOU do/say - Be careful!

-- Having compassion. Compassion is feeling for others. Empathy: Putting yourself in another person's place.

-- Being social - being interactive in a group. You have a choice on how to behave (like leaving trash or cleaning it up). Common courtesy: Location. It helps to be aware of your location, because in Hawaii - you take off your shoes before entering someone's home, on the Mainland, you would probably leave it on. Be aware of movies = PG13 = Wait until you're older so you will be able to understand. You cannot un-see what you see. Try to build good habits now so that you have them for later.

-- Compassion for older and younger sisters: Be thoughtful, try to focus, be a good role model, if you have questions, raise your hand, and most importantly - have patience. The Charm10's help with examples of common courtesy, i.e.: Covering your mouth when sneezing, saying "thank you" and "excuse me," etc. Why do manners matter? It "keeps the peace" between family, class, friendships, and the world.
