**Message From Your Second Generation President**

HEY GUYS!!

Some of you may know me as the girl who nearly destroyed your ears during the February 2016 H.O.P.E. meeting. To those out there who have almost lost their ears that day, I am extremely sorry >.<

My name is Courtney and I will be the next H.O.P.E. President for the 2016-2017 school year. With the help of my fellow executives, we plan to make the following school year an enjoyable one for everyone.

Our journey together will be starting NOW. We will soon be posting up summer events and EVERYONE is welcomed to come. My executives and I are looking forward to seeing all of you and creating future memories with one another.

UPDATES:
Towards the beginning of the new school year, we will be creating a new H.O.P.E. 2016 - 2017 Facebook page. We will also be updating our current club website bthshope.blogspot.com. Please look forward to these updates and changes!
 
LET US HAVE A GOOD YEAR FILLED WITH FUN, LAUGHS, QUIRKY-NESS AND AMAZING MEMORIES!!!!

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!

:) :) :) :)

****Farewell From Us + Executive Board for Next Year!!****

Our dearest H.O.P.E. members,
The school year has finally ended and we, the executives, are leaving as well! These years have been filled with bundles of cuteness, loads of memories and one heck of a bunch of smiles. Despite having to wake up to 5 A.M. alarms half the time, it was all still worth it in the end because YOU GUYS were there. We hope you guys were able to form new bonds and feel the happiness of volunteering with your clubmates!

To the people that we met and didn't meet, we hope that H.O.P.E. will continue to bring you guys joy and experiences that you wouldn't be able to gain elsewhere. Best of luck to you all and do know that WE LOVE ALL OUR HOPELINGS* (YOU GUYS) <3

*Side Note: In case anyone was wondering, 'hopeling' was derived from H.O.P.E. + darling [since I've had a habit of calling the 2nd gen (your executives next year) my darlings]. Please expect more quirkiness from the 2nd Generation Executive Board next year too! They're an 'interesting' bunch!

Thank you all for everything and don't ever forget that it's not just Tech that links us all together; H.O.P.E. will always connect us all on a deeper level!
