Meeting Recap - November 2nd

Since the Comedy Hypnosis show is a week away we spent a good deal of time discussing the event. Flyers have been made and posted at West and given to East to put up. A few students called Middle School principals and we have permission to get flyers to teachers in those buildings. We will be doing our best to get the copies made ASAP. The video in the commons is great and at Safe Halloween we made sure it was playing and added a sign that addressed parents stating that this is a "family fun night!" We will also be sending an email out to faculty to try to encourage them to go. The committee decided that we would not print tickets since there are no advanced ticket sales. We will use a stamp at the door. Next Friday after school we will schedule tasks for people to do the night of the show (door, concessions, information table, etc.) Between now and then please feel free to make display boards for information tables and/or pamphlets. Communicate via the blog so we don't have 10 of the same thing!

The Darfur Rally scheduled for December 1st at East is proceeding. Some speakers have been contacted and a flyer has been made. After the hypnosis show we will start helping to hype this event.

We also watched a 10 minute video that provided an overview of the conflict in Darfur. A handout was distributed that had some facts as well.

See you all next Friday and talk up the hypnosis show to everyone you know!!!!

Flyers to Middle Schools

We need to get flyers about the comedy hypnosis show out to each of the middle schools. If you live near one of the middle schools and would be willing to take flyers to put into teachers mailboxes please see me or Mrs. Donohue as soon as possible.

Me Again - Need 3 people to attend a meeting

We need three representatives to attend a meeting on Thursday, November 1, at 2:00 pm in the faculty dining room. The subject of the meeting will be a fundraising campaign. Every club is asked to send reps. Can three people reply that they could do this or stop in to see me about this? Thanks.

Darfur Rally - December 1st

Saturday, December 1, 12noon-2pm the Darfur Rally will be held on the football field at East. We need to help with publicity over at West. Also needed are pamphlets, posters, flyers, etc and student groups (both high school and college) to sponsor informational tables and answer questions of the attendees. Also, speakers are being organized, but if you can think of groups or organizations to contact, it would be a big help.

Immediate Help Needed

We need to publicize that we are meeting this Friday. Flyers anyone? Also, can someone go to E-administration sometime on Wednesday and fill out a slip requesting that an annoucement be made on Thursday and Friday? Simply state that "the Darfur Action Committee will be meeting on Friday after school in room F206. All are welcome to attend."

Also, we need someone/people to hang the Comedy Hypnosis flyers.

- All from last week have been officially invited. If you did not get the email it may be because your email address was not clearly written or, obviously, if you didn’t provide your email address last week.

Comedy Hypnotist – November 9th
- We need to decide on ticket price and if we are selling in advance. My recommendation was not to sell tickets in advance even though I had wanted to and that is because I tried to reserve a table outside of E-Cafeteria to do so for lunch periods on Nov. 7, 8, and 9. Only the 7th, Wed., would be available because school rings will be there on Thurs. and Fri. I did complete the paperwork in case the committee decided they wanted to do this but I don’t think it makes much sense to do it just on Wednesday. - The decision of all present on Thursday was just to sell at the door - no advance ticket sales.


- Ben made a flyer which is nice for this event. Copies will be ready to be hung up on Tuesday morning. Stop by F206 if you can hang these up.

- Other ways to promote it?
