Another great turnout this past Friday - you are a dedicated committee and it is so nice to see! Here's what we discussed:
- Brainstormed a list of organizations to donate the money that was raised from the Comedy Hypnosis show. Many contributed ideas and the ultimate decision was to donate $1000 to HelpDarfurNow.org. We liked that their overhead costs were low. From their website:
Help Darfur Now, Inc. is a non-profit organization formed by New Jersey high school students, committed to providing much-needed financial aid to refugees and refugee camps. The charity is an all volunteer organization with no payroll expenses. Approximately 98% of all proceeds contributed to the organization go toward Darfur relief efforts.
- Reminder about the upcoming showing of "Darfur Now" at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington on Tuesday night, Dec. 11th. Show starts at 7:30pm. Members of the Darfur People's Association of NY will be there speaking as well.
- Ben informed us that showing on HBO is a documentary called "Sand and Sorrow."
- Future activity ideas:
- movie showing after school coinciding with a pizza sale
- Car wash in the spring
- Pop-tops being looked into for legitimacy
- Tents of Hope
- We need to re-do the bulletin board.

Just to let everyone know- I have photo 9th period this semester, so if there's ever a pizza sale i can leave early, because we pretty much do nothing in that class. Staying after for a few minutes is pretty much never a problem for me because I walk home, so I don't have to wait for the late buses or anything. I don't, however, have any free time in my schedule to set it up, so if other people want to get it organized I'll gladly volunteer my time.
