Anchor Newbies all dressed up for Taps WeekWritten By Elizabeth Rockey
Did you catch a glimpse of the gang from Toy Story on last Tuesday morning during morning car line? Woody, Dino, Mrs. Piggy, Barbie, Little Bo Peep and her sheep, Buzz, Slink, an alien, an army man, and the rest of the Toy Story crew were all there! Do you know why? It was Anchor Taps Dress-up Week 2011!
Anchor Club is an extracurricular activity centered on service. It is a club providing volunteer services to those in need in our community. Anchor Club is part of Pilot International and is sponsored or cosponsored by a District Pilot Club or a Pilot Member in the local community.
Pilot International has been undertaking service projects involving youth and their needs since it was chartered in 1921. Anchor Clubs were adopted by Pilot programs in 1952. Anchor is now over fifty years old and is composed of 9,000 male and female students in nearly 260 clubs. Anchor can be found throughout the United States, Bahamas, and Japan. Our favorite club is the St. John Anchor Club, founded in the mid 1970's.
This year's theme for all Anchor affiliations is "Anchored in Love." This theme encourages student members to remember we are brought together in brotherly and sisterly love to serve and love those in need. Being part of the St. John Anchor Club is more than just dressing up one week out of the school year for Taps Week. Being a member encourages community and campus service.
Watch out! While Anchor Club may not be all decked out and dressed up like the last time you saw them, they will be "Anchored in Love," remembering our school theme of Philippians 2:5, serving and loving those in need with an attitude as that of Christ Jesus. Look for more information about their upcoming events and check out their "St. John Anchor Club" Facebook page and "like" it to see what they are doing to serve God and give to those in need.
