We held our first meeting of the 2009-2010 school year on Friday, October 9th. We welcome everyone back and we also extend our welcome to the sea of new faces who have joined us! We look forward to working with everyone this year and doing our best to make a difference. Here's what we discussed:
- Overview of the club. Our mission is to educate ourselves, our school, and the community about the genocide in Darfur as well as fundraise to help the victims. We discussed actions and events that we have taken in the past and quickly mentioned some potential ideas for this year.
- We discussed our blog and that it can be an important tool to communicate with each other. New members look out for an email inviting you to "join" the blog and follow the steps in the email. By doing so, you will get permission to post/contribute to the blog rather than just read it.
- First event - Safe Halloween scheduled for Friday, October 30th after school. Think of ideas we could do and post them on the blog and/or come prepared next Friday to discuss. We would definitely like to have a presence, help provide an outlet for kids, and educate the community.
- Next event - Comedy Hypnosis fundraiser show with Dr. Mike. Possible dates are November 13th or November 20th. We need to figure this out next week.
- Spread the word about our club and make flyers. Flyers should say Darfur Action Committee, Fridays, room F206, all are welcome, etc. If you have one, bring it to Mrs. Cone (F206) or Mr. Cone (F203)so that we can get copies made.
Next meeting is Friday, October 16th.

Mrs. Cone and DAC, it's great to see the use of a blog to help champion your cause. Keep up the good work!
Shanty, which is the homeless simulation where kids sleep outside in boxes in front of the school, was just rescheduled for November 13th. And, the PB&J drive is going on the same day. PB&J runs from after school until 3:30ish, and shanty starts at 7pm and continues to the next day. It might be a busy day for a lot of students.
The blog looks great. Keep up the inspiring work!
