No one posted a summary from our last two meetings. That's sad. We'll talk about this more at our next meeting which will be on November 13th.
The Comedy Hypnosis show is soon - November 20th. We will need to get flyers up next week, choose jobs, talk about concession sales, etc. Lots to do!!!
Again, next meeting is Friday - November 13th. Please show up!!!!!!
(Oh, and thanks to everyone who helped on Safe Halloween...it went really well!)

October 16th Meeting
Here's a summary of what we discussed:
- The date of the Comedy Hypnosis Show has been set for November 20th. The event starts at 7p.m. and tickets will be sold at the door for $7. If anyone would like to make additional fliers for the event, please hand them to Mrs. or Mr. Cone. Volunteers will be needed to hang up fliers during their lunch period.
- For Safe Halloween we will be creating Halloween themed puppets out of brown bags. A sign up sheet was passed around, members are welcome to sign up for a time slot to help out. Candy donations are appreciated since we will be handing candy out in addition to making puppets. Donations of art supplies, such as pipe cleaners or construction paper, are also helpful:) We also decided to hand out an informational pamphlet to the adults at Safe Halloween. A request was put in to have our station in the library.
- The environmental website, bulletin board, and presentation was collectively vetoed, as we have a lot of other events to coordinate.
- The next edition of the Bulls Eye will feature our Comedy Hypnosis show in the 'featured club events' section. This is a great way to get the word out there. There may also be an article written about our club.
See you all next week!

Meeting Summary - October 9, 2009
We held our first meeting of the 2009-2010 school year on Friday, October 9th. We welcome everyone back and we also extend our welcome to the sea of new faces who have joined us! We look forward to working with everyone this year and doing our best to make a difference. Here's what we discussed:
- Overview of the club. Our mission is to educate ourselves, our school, and the community about the genocide in Darfur as well as fundraise to help the victims. We discussed actions and events that we have taken in the past and quickly mentioned some potential ideas for this year.
- We discussed our blog and that it can be an important tool to communicate with each other. New members look out for an email inviting you to "join" the blog and follow the steps in the email. By doing so, you will get permission to post/contribute to the blog rather than just read it.
- First event - Safe Halloween scheduled for Friday, October 30th after school. Think of ideas we could do and post them on the blog and/or come prepared next Friday to discuss. We would definitely like to have a presence, help provide an outlet for kids, and educate the community.
- Next event - Comedy Hypnosis fundraiser show with Dr. Mike. Possible dates are November 13th or November 20th. We need to figure this out next week.
- Spread the word about our club and make flyers. Flyers should say Darfur Action Committee, Fridays, room F206, all are welcome, etc. If you have one, bring it to Mrs. Cone (F206) or Mr. Cone (F203)so that we can get copies made.
Next meeting is Friday, October 16th.

I don't know if anyone reads this blog but...
I just want to thank everyone for a great 2.5 years in the Darfur Action Committee. The time went by so fast, and I can't believe that part of my life is over now. I hope you guys keep the club going in years to come- I'll be sure to visit and I'll even try to attend some of the events next year. Keep up the good work, I'm going to stop writing before I get too sentimental now. Peace out everyone!
Love,
Ginny

Meeting Summary - May 1, 2009
Here's what we did:
- Took down the Darfur Doors. Last year, we left them up so long they started to get destroyed. Even now, some of these are in bad shape.
- Restaurant fundraiser? The student who made calls to restaurants was not at the meeting. We'll hopefully have more info. soon.
- The next event will be a Darfur movie showing for club members and as extra credit for PIG students. Please note: We said we'd do this Friday, May 29th. However, Mr. Cone and I will NOT be here on that date. Plus, we don't think a lot of seniors would choose to stay after on a Friday. So, we would like to do this on Thursday, May 28th instead. We hope that this works for many of you. What we need to do is change the building use request for the pizza sale to Thursday, May 28th. We also need to hang up flyers. Please come to F206 to get the flyers to hang up.
- There will be no meetings May 8, 15, or 22nd. Our next meeting will be Thursday, May 28th.
