Notes from meeting on May 9th

Hi everyone,

Today's meeting was short, as many people were missing due to the AP U.S. History Exam. Here's what was discussed:

• The Dine-Around was a huge success, raising close to $900.
• Thank you's need to be signed that are to be sent to companies and people that donated food or goods for the event (Danielle is writing the thank you letters).
• If you have pictures from the Dine-Around, please bring them to school or send them to Ms. Donohue or Mr. Cone so they can possibly be used to accompany the write-up for the newspaper.
• An address for the company that we will purchase the solar cookers from needs to be passed along to Ms. Donohue or Mr. Cone so a check can be sent out (Scott will do this).
• Scavenger Hunt has been postponed until the fall.
• Pangea Day, "a global event bringing the world together through film in a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict" is taking place at HSE on Saturday, May 10th from 2:00-6:00pm. Go to www.pangeaday.com for details.
• A showing of the film, The Devil Came on Horseback, will be offered as a PIG Hours opportunity on Wednesday, June 4. The film will be shown in rooms F205 and F206 (Scott is making a flyer for the film).
• Next meeting is May 30th.
• End of the year projects, book keeping, and taking down Darfur Doors will be done in mid June.
• A party will take place during one of our last meetings.

Money Raised

We raised $911. This figure is before we reimburse those who have expenses/receipts but it will be pretty close.

CORRECTION - Scavenger Hunt Date

The scavenger hunt is scheduled for May 20th.

Wonderful Night!

The Dine-Around was a great success. I am very proud of everyone who followed through and pulled this all off! The cafeteria looked great and those in attendance did a fantastic job of fulfilling the roles needed throughout the night. Ginny, Daniella, Harrini, and Danielle represented us through presentations and speaking well, and creating an amazing pamphlet. We had a great turnout, raised money (we'll count it this week), and most importanly raised awareness for the cause. I am also proud of all of those who stuck around to help clean-up. This was truly a team effort and I was very pleased!

I am also thankful to many of your parents for helping so much! Please thank them from all of us!

We will meet this Friday where we will count the money raised, write thank-you's, and get back into planning our next event which is the scavenger hunt scheduled for May 23rd!

Update

My dad will be making a tray of ziti and one of his signature crumb cakes. He's going food shopping tomorrow for the ingredients, so I asked him to pick up the stuff I discussed today with Mrs. Donohue.

Also, I will be able to stay after right away tomorrow because our field trip was cancelled because of the liability involved with taking a large group of seniors and juniors on a train to Manhattan.  I'll go home right after 9th and get my car so that I have it just in case we need last minute things!
