Good meeting. Below is an overview:
- I recapped the previous meeting and the progress that was made by each committee. I also spoke about the plans for this year's Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Day. There will be a big focus on Darfur this year so 800 10th grade students (West and East Campus) will be educated about the issue.
- Scott informed the group that Congressman Tom Lantos of California has died. Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in Congress and was active in speaking out about Darfur.
- Danielle updated us about some current events. One of the stories she spoke about was Steven Spielberg stepping down as artistic director for the Beijing Olympics due to China's connection with the government in Khartoum. Harrini will provide the update at the next meeting.
- Committees met and we have some dates announced:
* Feb. 28th (the Thursday we get back) - pizza sale after school
* March 17th - Bake Sale (on St. Patrick's Day - think GREEN!!!)
* March 31st (or so) - Unveiling of the Darfur Doors
