First Meeting of 2007-2008 School Year: Summary

What a great turnout we had for our first meeting of the school year. It was nice to see so many who care about making a difference! The following items were addressed:

- We will meet on Fridays (EXCEPTION: The next meeting will be Thursday, October 25th)
- We need volunteers to take care of getting announcements made on the PA to remind students of our meetings. One person needs to go to E Administration every Thursday to write a brief announcement that would be read on Friday.
- We need volunteers to make flyers for the club. These could be dropped off in F206 and I will make copies.
- We need volunteers to hang the flyers.
- We discussed this blog site and invitations for members to be able to post are forthcoming.
- We would like to continue the 400,000 pennies campaign this year.
- We will be hosting a Comedy Hypnotist fundraiser on November 9th. Planning on this needs to move quickly.
- We shared the news that there was a 5K walk called "Drumbeat for Darfur" on Sunday, October 21st in Huntington. Did anyone go? Let us know!
- An idea to have an assembly program for students was discussed. We are restructuring Holocaust Remembrance Day for this year to become "Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Day" and will be looking for speakers about Darfur.
- The next meeting we would like to do a brief historical overview on the crisis in Darfur to provide background for those who might not be aware.
- We need to fix our bulletin board.

Again, great start and I am really looking forward to working with everyone this year!
