We are back in action and plan to meet regularly - every Friday foreseeing other issues! Here's what we discussed today:
- We recapped the last meeting (did the bulletin board, did the paperwork for the donation to HelpDarfurNow, etc.)
- We discussed moving forward with the Sand And Sorrow movie showing after school for P.I.G. credit. We would have a pizza sale that day as well. People are looking into getting postcards to representatives that students could fill out after watching the movie.
- We brainstormed a list of fundraising/educational ideas that we could focus on. We generated a nice list and then decided to form committees. The committees are as follows: Public Relations (they will also organize a bake sale), Dine Around (with money going toward the purchase of solar cookers), Scavenger Hunt (similar to how students pay to participate in the Dodgeball Tournament), Battle of the Bands (held at 3MB rather than the auditorium, Darfur Doors (decorating classroom doors to raise awareness), Penny campaign (400,000 pennies/water jugs).
- We also discussed starting each meeting with an update on the situation in Darfur to better educate ourselves. Ben has volunteered to do the first one next Friday. Thanks, Ben!
- Lastly, we are getting rid of the leftover candy from the Comedy Hypnosis event. Many members took bags of candy (10 pieces each) and will sell each piece for $1.00 and come with the profits next Friday.
Great meeting and I am looking forward to next week for when the committees meet and start making things happen!!!!
