Dine-Around/Meeting Update
This past meeting, Friday 4/18, we focused on the Dine-Around. We need to do lots before the event as it on the Friday we get back from break, May 2nd. It will be from 7-10pm and will be held in F-Cafeteria. It will cost $15/person on $10 for kids 12 and under. We need lots of help to make this possible so please help out if you can! What we need done is the following:
-We need food and drinks. Lots of it. If you have already been to a place and asked for donations and they said they thought it was ok but they haven't given you a definite approval, please contact them over break. We really need to make sure that there will be enough food so please contact as many places as you can!
-We also need people to pick up the food. I know that some people already have arrangements, but if anyone can step up and pick up any other food that gets donated that would be great.
-We also need decorations. I'm already going to Party City over break to pick up some ribbon and balloons, but we need more. There will also be centerpieces made. If anyone can think of any other decorations (green and silver are the colors) that would be great. We want to make it look as little like a cafeteria as possible.
-One very major point is advertising! Spread the word about the Dine-Around. Hand out any flyers that you have. Ms. Donohue has some flyers that you can pick up in F206. We also need to hang up flyers around school on Monday. If you have a free period, it would be great if you go to F206 to pick up flyers and hang them up. Dan is going to put in an announcement for all next week over the PA.
-We are still looking for a speaker. Ginny has volunteered to speak, but if we can find someone who has been to Darfur that would be great. It is short notice so this may be difficult.
-I don't remember if someone said they were doing this already or not, but we also need pamphlets that need to be made up about the genocide in Darfur. They will be placed on each table setting.
-I'm going to Costco this week to pick up table settings (silverware, plates, cups, napkins). If anyone can think of anything else that is needed from Costco, please let me know through the blog ASAP.
-If we can get enough donated things to raffle off, we will have a raffle. I think the 50-50 raffle is a go. We can always make money off of that to donate!
-Please make every effort to attend this event. If you are coming, please try to wear green (or a Save Darfur shirt if you have one).
I think that is it. If I missed any information or messed up somewhere, please correct it through a post. Please remember to keep in contact during the break through the blog. There's a lot of work to be done, but I know we can do it.

Summary of April 4th Meeting
- Bake sale update - we raised $115.54!!!!!!! That's huge money for a bake sale!
- Dine Around committee is now pushing full speed ahead. They've compiled a list of restaurants and will be hitting the town. This committee really needs to reconvene BEFORE next Friday though to update us and each other as to the progress. With a date of May 2nd we really don't have that much time so we need to be realistic about the ability to make this happen and to do it well.
- Darfur Doors - the printing and pasting of pictures is taking place at the moment and the posters for the doors are scheduled to go up on Monday after school.
We do have a meeting next Friday.

Scavenger Hunt Prizes
I wanted to toss it out to the group on what could possibly make good prizes for the scavenger hunt. We were thinking about making the ticket prices at about $7 so the prizes should be a little better than that. The prizes need to be good for everyone and will be given out to the first place winners (a group of no more than 5 or 6 people). Gift cards were mentioned as a possibility--any suggestions as to where would be good. Please comment with any suggestions or bring them to the meeting Friday. :)

Attention: Dine-Around Committee
Hey guys,
I'm pleased that we have a date and a place now for our dine-around in May but we really need to get into contact with restaurants around the area so we are not letting them know at the last minute. I think it would be best if we start to make contact with these restaurants this weekend in order to give them a fair amount of notice. Is anyone willing to go to certain places and tell them about our dine-around? I'll certainly help out but I think it would be best if we went as a group so we can cover more area but also make a more convincing case together. Comment if anyone from the committee is free the next few weekends to do this.
Thanks,
Ben

Upcoming Dates and Information
The Dine-Around date of May 2nd has been approved. Dine-Around committee, please be working on getting committments from restaurants.
The Darfur Doors campaign is shaping up nicely. We have agreements from 10 of the 13social studies teachers to use their doors. We'll follow up with the other 3 next week. The 'doors' should be unveiled either Friday, April 4th (our next meeting date), or earlier that week if that committee plans to do so. Totally their call and either way is fine. If they go up April 4th that still gives us a full week before the Holocaust Rememberance and Genocide Awareness Day and a full week that they will be up after the event.
The scavenger hunt date is also confirmed for May 20th. I followed up with the alternative school issue we discussed and amde sure that we would not have a conflict with library use. We are all good! Someone from that committee should speak wth Ms. Geldmacher when they get a chance to find out how she does registration for dodgeball through the computer.
Again, the bake sale was fantastic. Congratulations to all involved....good planning and follow-through!
Next official meeting will be Friday, April 4th.
