The newly formed Community Cluboard is a club organized by a small group of Calhoun students, who are also dedicated to helping the community. The purpose of the Cluboard is to organize community service events, link and connect with students as well as market these events. "The Community Cupboard has many wonderful, generous and thoughtful donors," explained faculty advisor/assistant principal Mark Melkonian. "One of our first partners, Barbara Philoptochos, the philanthropic chapter of St. Demetrios Church, has partnered with the Community Cupboard for the past few years. They have collected a tremendous amount of food, distributed turkey dinners, cases of water and other necessary supplies."
