Comedy Hypnosis Show a Great Success!

Great job to all who helped pull of the Comedy Hypnosis show! The night was a great success in terms of awareness building, our teamwork, monetarily, and in creating a positive all-around fun night! Dan has secured a potential story with the Smithtown News about the event. If anyone took pictures, please email them to me or put them on a disc so that we can get them to the newspaper. Thanks.

Free Rice

www.freerice.com

Everyone should go on this website and play the vocabulary game- it is extremely addicting, and for every word you guess right 10 grains of rice are donated through the UN to World Hunger charities, including some in Darfur. 10 grains doesn't sound like a lot, but I really doubt anyone would be able to play this game for only one round- I constantly find myself donating hundreds of grains each time I go on. As far as I can tell, the site is reputable and honest, you can get to it through links on various websites of World Hunger charities. And it's educational! What more could you ask for?
PS- Watching the bowl of rice fill up as you donate is very amusing. I find it hard to stop playing because whenever I see that bowl empty, I just want to fill it back up!

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.
