Meeting Summary - 10/24/08
Here's what we discussed/did:
- If you have received an email invite to be able to post to this blog (not just read it), please do follow-through and respond. We have approximately 50 people who have 'open invitations' still!!
- Can someone research where to get a nice banner made? Mary can change the resolution on the poster to accomodate the size of a banner. We should price out a nice, weather resistant one that will hold up well.
- The Comedy Hypnosis show is set for Friday, November 14th. Tickets will be $7.00 at the door. Flyers were made and hung up. Please start talking this up. It is fun for all ages. We will look into getting the DVD of a past performance to play on the TV in the Commons. A large banner was painted today that we can hang up next week to further promote the event.
- Safe Halloween is next Friday from 3:30pm-7:30pm. Our table is right in the main entrance. We will have a tri-fold board (kid-friendly), pamphlets, the water jug to collect donations, a banner that says "Darfur Action Committee," and flyers for the Comedy Hypnosis show.

Add Your Voice!
I was sent this petition online, and I think everyone should sign. The objective is to compile a list of American citizens urging whoever becomes the next president to consider Darfur as a first-day top priority!
This is through Save Darfur, so it is a legitimate petition that actually WILL go to the White House.

Safe Halloween
I just filled out the paperwork for Safe Halloween. We will have our own table directly across from Leadership in the main entrance of the building. This is where parents enter and drop off food donations. Danielle is making a pamphlet so we will have literature, we can put the water jug on the table to collect monetary donations, we should have flyers about the Comedy Hypnosis show, and we should see if we have a kid-friendly tri-fold board....if not we should make one.
We should also look into getting a banner made.....

Uhm.
Well, today I got a letter in the mail from Save Darfur, and I guess I thought it would be informational for those of you who aren't aware of the situation as of right now?

Meeting Summary - October 3, 2008
Another nice turnout today. For those that couldn't make it, below is a summary:
- We presented an overview of the origins of the conflict and the current status of the genocide in Darfur for the benefit of new members. We handed out an informational flyer which also had information about 1-800-Genocide. CALL THIS NUMBER!!!!
- We discussed possibilities for Safe Halloween. Since Ms. Donohue nor Mr. Cone will be there, we need to find alternative ways to get the word out. UPDATE: Mr. DeMatteo just agreed to allow us to have information on a table. Woo-Hoo! Danielle is making a new pamphlet that we will get copied.
- We are going to start looking into pizza and bake sales to raise money.
- A tentative date is being looked at for the Comedy Hypnosis fundraiser. We will try for Friday, November 17th. Once confirmed, we will need people to make flyers, spread the word, work the entrance table, the information table, the concessions table, etc. More planning will take place for this event at our next meeting. As a reminder, we raised $1300 doing this last year!
- We took a group photo that will be displayed at the pep rally on Friday, October
17th. When you see it displayed, shout "SAVE DARFUR!"
- At the next meeting, we will form committees. One will work on the scavenger hunt, one for pizza/bake sales, one for the Hypnosis show, one for school-wide awareness, etc.
There is no meeting next week since there is no school. We will meet again on Friday, October 17th (after the pep rally). We have a lot to do at that meeting to get ready for the Hypnosis show.
