Meeting Summary - November 7, 2008

Here's what we did/discussed:

- Safe Halloween Recap - It went well, low turnout from the community. We did have a presence and got the word out to some.

- Can people please research where to get a banner made? We have the electronic file we just need to get ideas as to size and pricing.

- Erin is to be commended for her work to get a grant through her church. They are awarding $600 to purchase solar cookers. Way to go!

- SaveDarfur.org sent a letter acknowldeging our donation from May of 2006!

- CLUB PHOTOS are scheduled for Wednesday, November 12th at 1:00pm. WEAR GREEN.

- Comedy Hypnosis show is NEXT Friday, November 14th. We need to hype this up all week. Tell your classes/friends/teachers. We decided that teachers should only have to pay $5 admission. For everyone else, it is $7.00. The show starts at 7:00pm but we need to be there by 6:00pm to get ready. At our meeting next Friday, we will have people sign up for jobs. We will need people to work the door collecting the admissions money and stamping hands, we'll need people to work the information table (where we will have the tri-fold board, the pamphlets, and the water jug for donations), we will need people to work the concessions table (bring a baked good!), we will also need people to coordinate the 50/50 raffle. Erin brought in a roll of tickets that we can use and we still have our raffle box from the dine-around. In addition, we need to get someone to work the lights in the auditorium. Plus, Ginny said she'd prepare a speech/introduction and we also discussed having a slide show as the audience is waiting for the show to start. We also need to think about where we want the proceeds to go.

This week to prepare for the hypnosis show we hung up more flyers, the suggestion was made to see if we could leave a stack of flyers at the school store, and there was a mention of the show in the Smithtown News (thanks, Dan!).

The School Awareness group also worked on the display by the library.

So, as usual, lots to do! Baked goods for Friday, research banners, promote the hypnosis show, wear green for club photo on Wednesday, think about organizations/causes to donate money to from the hypnosis show.

I made Facebook event about the Comedy Hypnosis Show and sent invitations to my friends. I figure that this is a good way to get word around, so if anyone else has a Facebook, you could search the event and add more people!
