WEAR GREEN NEXT FRIDAY

Next meeting - Friday, October 3rd. WEAR GREEN for a group photo!

Great First Meeting!

Once again, it looks like we are going to have a nice crew of people to help those in Darfur. Below is a summary of what we discussed:

- For those who are new to the group, next week we will take some time to do an overview of the origins of the conflict and where it's at now.
- We recapped the activities and accomplishments that DAC had last year.
- A poster was made by Jackie that will be displayed in a frame in the hall soon.
- Dan has agreed to be the point person for getting announcements made on the PA.
- Everyone can feel free to make flyers promoting the club and our activities. Just bring one and I'll get copies made. At any point, feel free to stop by F206 to see if any flyers need to be hung up.
- Safe Halloween - Unfortunately, Mr. Cone and I will not be around on Halloween. For next Friday, try to have ideas of other ways to get the word out to the community (pamphlets on a table, in bags, handed out by members in the hall, etc.)
- Last year we had a successful Comedy Hypnosis fundraiser. We will look to do that again soon. Possible dates are November 7th and November 14th (both Fridays).
- We would like to make the scavenger hunt fundraiser happen this year. More to be discussed.
- Ginny mentioned a charity to keep in mind - Nothing But Nets
- We discussed the possible disbursement of funds to help the school purchase a "Visitors" sign. The consensus was that funds raised in the name of Darfur should go directly to charities to help the cause.

We will meet next Friday, October 3rd. PLEASE WEAR A GREEN SHIRT. We need to take a group photo for the Pep Rally.
