Our primary focus today was to prepare for the Comedy Hypnosis show. We signed up for jobs, made signs for the concession table, etc.
The School Awareness team also worked on the display by the library.

Baking
I thought I'd start a list of who can bake for the comedy hypnosis show. Please comment if you can bring something and what you are bringing. Thanks!
Meeting Summary - November 7, 2008
Here's what we did/discussed:
- Safe Halloween Recap - It went well, low turnout from the community. We did have a presence and got the word out to some.
- Can people please research where to get a banner made? We have the electronic file we just need to get ideas as to size and pricing.
- Erin is to be commended for her work to get a grant through her church. They are awarding $600 to purchase solar cookers. Way to go!
- SaveDarfur.org sent a letter acknowldeging our donation from May of 2006!
- CLUB PHOTOS are scheduled for Wednesday, November 12th at 1:00pm. WEAR GREEN.
- Comedy Hypnosis show is NEXT Friday, November 14th. We need to hype this up all week. Tell your classes/friends/teachers. We decided that teachers should only have to pay $5 admission. For everyone else, it is $7.00. The show starts at 7:00pm but we need to be there by 6:00pm to get ready. At our meeting next Friday, we will have people sign up for jobs. We will need people to work the door collecting the admissions money and stamping hands, we'll need people to work the information table (where we will have the tri-fold board, the pamphlets, and the water jug for donations), we will need people to work the concessions table (bring a baked good!), we will also need people to coordinate the 50/50 raffle. Erin brought in a roll of tickets that we can use and we still have our raffle box from the dine-around. In addition, we need to get someone to work the lights in the auditorium. Plus, Ginny said she'd prepare a speech/introduction and we also discussed having a slide show as the audience is waiting for the show to start. We also need to think about where we want the proceeds to go.
This week to prepare for the hypnosis show we hung up more flyers, the suggestion was made to see if we could leave a stack of flyers at the school store, and there was a mention of the show in the Smithtown News (thanks, Dan!).
The School Awareness group also worked on the display by the library.
So, as usual, lots to do! Baked goods for Friday, research banners, promote the hypnosis show, wear green for club photo on Wednesday, think about organizations/causes to donate money to from the hypnosis show.

Meeting Summary - 10/24/08
Here's what we discussed/did:
- If you have received an email invite to be able to post to this blog (not just read it), please do follow-through and respond. We have approximately 50 people who have 'open invitations' still!!
- Can someone research where to get a nice banner made? Mary can change the resolution on the poster to accomodate the size of a banner. We should price out a nice, weather resistant one that will hold up well.
- The Comedy Hypnosis show is set for Friday, November 14th. Tickets will be $7.00 at the door. Flyers were made and hung up. Please start talking this up. It is fun for all ages. We will look into getting the DVD of a past performance to play on the TV in the Commons. A large banner was painted today that we can hang up next week to further promote the event.
- Safe Halloween is next Friday from 3:30pm-7:30pm. Our table is right in the main entrance. We will have a tri-fold board (kid-friendly), pamphlets, the water jug to collect donations, a banner that says "Darfur Action Committee," and flyers for the Comedy Hypnosis show.

Add Your Voice!
I was sent this petition online, and I think everyone should sign. The objective is to compile a list of American citizens urging whoever becomes the next president to consider Darfur as a first-day top priority!
This is through Save Darfur, so it is a legitimate petition that actually WILL go to the White House.

Safe Halloween
I just filled out the paperwork for Safe Halloween. We will have our own table directly across from Leadership in the main entrance of the building. This is where parents enter and drop off food donations. Danielle is making a pamphlet so we will have literature, we can put the water jug on the table to collect monetary donations, we should have flyers about the Comedy Hypnosis show, and we should see if we have a kid-friendly tri-fold board....if not we should make one.
We should also look into getting a banner made.....
