Dine-Around

Has anyone else gotten any food or drinks donated? I think one thing we really need to focus on is making sure that there is enough food and drinks. If anyone can get anything else donated that would be great. Maybe we can each make something and bring it along if we don't have enough donated? Just an idea.

Dine-Around Update

Hey everyone,
Just confirming that the Utopia Strings will be playing. I will also be bringing wraps from JT's Corner Cafe and desserts (cookies) from Flories Finales.

Balloons

I know at the last meeting there was talk of having helium balloons. I bought the balloons, but I wanted to see if anyone knew where in the school we can fill them up. I know it was said at the meeting that somewhere in the school there is a helium machine, and if anyone has any info on that it would be great. If we are going through with the balloons, we will have to make sure we find out where the machine is and ask permission before the Dine-Around. We also need to have someone (or some people) blow them up on Friday before the event. I was thinking of making crayon hot rocks for balloon weight (heat up rocks in the oven and melt some green crayons on them--they look pretty in the end). If anyone thinks this is a good idea let me know!

Dine-Around

Hey guys its Danielle. Ben and Jerry's has offered ice cream but needs a flyer, could someone upload one or give me the info on it. Also for center pieces I was thinking candles of different colors sourrounding the balloons, there really pretty and cheap. Respond back my aim is Curseofcurves567

Thanks

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.

-Erin

Darfur Doors

Hey guys,

We are looking for volunteers to stay after school on Monday to help put up the Darfur Doors. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks :)

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.
