The presentation took place in September. Dormois mentioned also that Mr. Ringo, who is also a very popular for what goes on the Discovery Channel is the only black African-American lobbyist.
Dormois also mentioned that the club focuses on recycling in school, and the proceeds from this will help benefit the well being of the school.
Right now, there are 25 active members but more are still needed. the head officials of the club are Dormois Bazille, president, Dornell Thomas, vice president and Kishone Bussue, secretary.
Ninth graders are especially wanted, because they will be here longer and they can continue to keep the club running. The meetings for this club are announced a few days before meetings are held.
