New ideas, new hopes, new officers…thoughts sought after for a desperate cry for change in the organization.

August 1st, 2002 Sponsor Myron Greenfield, President Tyson Bruner, and Vice President Nestor Gomez, took their first role as new officers in Carnegie Library - the discussion…organization. Plans and considerations for projects were presented on the table as deplorable 'nostalgia' formulated new hopes for the Jefferson Davis National Honor Society. Vice President Nestor Gomez presented the implementation of calendar distribution for members. V.P. Gomez then presented the new website for the organization, perhaps the first major change in the organization's need for improvement.

"They're all part of the Organization Plan. I do not expect to make a drastic change in the organization, but I do want to leave a foundation for new members to adopt. Last year's group left us with nothing…my goal is to organize the club and leave a solid foundation," he said.

V.P. Gomez continuously mentioned the need for organization to take place if any change is expected; Sponsor Greenfield added, "there is also a problem with consistency."

The discussion continued as Sponsor Greenfield presented quite a few projects for the Davis NHS. He suggested serving within the Davis community, rather helping in other sectors of town. Such projects Greenfield presented to the officers were:

· Food Drive
· Assisting the Homeless
· Volunteering for the Annual City of Houston Thanksgiving Feast
· Mentoring for a nearby elementary
· Habitat for Humanity

Thursday's meeting only lasted a few minutes, discussions were 'short and sweet', and several topics were left 'empty-handed.' There is yet no mission statement for the Organization, and nothing was discussed with Sponsor Greenfield about the first meeting to be held the first day of school. It was indeed a causual meeting, but hopefully it will be the start of a desperate change in the Jefferson Davis National Honor Society.
