Meeting Summary - April 24th

Welcome to all of the new members that joined us! As a result of Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Day, many students felt motivated to take action and we certainly commend everyone for stepping up!

Here's what we discussed:
- We recapped the Scavenger Hunt. It was a fantastic event that was a lot of fun all-around. While participation was small, it was a great start and got the word out so when we do another one in the Fall people should be more interested in signing up. We did raise $90.

- We are cancelling the Dine-Around for this year. Even though it was a great success last year, it was a lot of work and we are pressed for time this year. We really only have one more meeting before May 29th, which was the scheduled date. We talked about perhaps doing this at a different time of the year, when there are no AP Exams looming, AP History Conference for us to plan, and so forth.

- We did want to try to do a bit more though between now and the end of the year. A member suggested holding a fund-raiser through a local restaurant, where a portion of the proceeds go to our cause. Danielle was going to try to to talk to Buona Sera and/or Roadside Grill to see if we could get a committment from either of those establishments.

- The other activity we would like to do before the end of the year is a movie showing. We had wanted to show a film for club members in the winter but early release due to snow messed that up. So, to educate club members as well as the school community, we would like to show a dvd on Friday, May 29th. Students in PIG classes could attend for extra credit. We would have students watch the movie and perhaps sign a petition or write a letter to their representative. We would coordinate a pizza sale at the same time. We need to fill out paperwork for the pizza sale and make flyers. Due to member suggestion, the dvd we would like to show is a PBS Frontline documentary called "On Our Watch."

- There will be no meetings May 8, 15, or 22nd due to AP review sessions and exams, and Memorial Day. So, we have this coming Friday and then the movie on May 29th. We also suggested wrapping up on Friday June 5th with a party and also recapping our year and our financial accounts.
