Subject: I'm starting a basketball club! Would you be open to helping?
Hi Mr. Whitley,
I'm starting a basketball club and have 17 students signed up, would you be open to being our advisor?
I've been playing basketball my whole life but there's never anyone playing in the gym. With a club, we can organize games!
We plan on meeting Wednesdays after school or Thursdays during lunch. Let me know what works best for you!

Subject: I'm starting a knitting club! Can you help us fund yarn?
Hi Mr. Cosgrove,
I'm starting a knitting club and have 37 students signed up - this could be an impactful activity for building community and school culture.
We would need funding for yarn! It would cost about $50. Do you think there's room in the budget for that, or do you have advice about how we might be able to secure funding?
We don't have many clubs at school, and the small cost would cover a year's worth of knitting fun :)
With hope and gratitude,
Kit Knitter
