Meeting Summary for November 13, 2009

Here is a summary of today's meeting:

-The Comedy Hypnosis Show is next friday (11/20/09). Emily will be sending out a facebook event message so send it to your friends! Make sure to spread the word around the school and also outside of school. Children, teens, and adults are all welcome. Sharon already sent out an announcement to E so one will be made next week about the show. We also need people to bring refreshments so make sure you go to either Mr. Cone or Mrs. Cone to sign up to bring something. There is also a sign up for working the show.

-Set-up for the show begins at 5:30 so all members must report to the auditorium at this time. We will set up two tables: one will be for refreshments and the other will be to sell tickets. Remember to keep the money from the refreshments and the tickets seperate! If you have not signed up to help out please go to Mrs. Cone's room and ask for the sign-up sheet. We must also set-up about 40 chairs on the stage for the hypnotist.

-The show begins at 7:00. We will have a 50:50 raffle and sell tickets. All members of the committee do not have to pay since they will be running/working the show. This means that no members may get hypnotized so do not go up on stage! During the show, we will rotate shifts for who will watch the door so that kids do not sneak in. Please see Mrs. Cone or Mr. Cone to sign up for this.

-After the show please do not leave since we must do a quick clean up. We will make sure the auditorium is clean, and we will clean up the refreshments and tables.

-Lastly, we need to figure out where we want to donate the money. Feel free to research different organizations. Past organizations include DarfurNow and the solar cookers. Once you find an organization, post it on the blog. Once we have our next meeting after the show, we will decide on an organization.

-Also, there will be a quick meeting next Friday, the day of the show. It will go no later than 2:30 so be sure to show up!

A Devastating Report on Darfur

Mr. McCabe found an interesting site/article on the genocide in Darfur. It is reflecting on the latest UN report about the situation. Check it out.

DARFUR MEETING UPDATE

No one posted a summary from our last two meetings. That's sad. We'll talk about this more at our next meeting which will be on November 13th.

The Comedy Hypnosis show is soon - November 20th. We will need to get flyers up next week, choose jobs, talk about concession sales, etc. Lots to do!!!

Again, next meeting is Friday - November 13th. Please show up!!!!!!

(Oh, and thanks to everyone who helped on Safe Halloween...it went really well!)
