I take it back, I don't think we'll be able to give people rides to the One World Celebration. But if anyone else is going and would be able to give me a ride, that'd be great. x]
P.S.
If you give me a ride, it's not really fair for you NOT to give someone else a ride, sooo, you will probably get a whole load of people asking to come...
I don't really think anyone will read this by tomorrow, just cuz no one answered from the last post...
Anyway, I will see you all tomorrow!

Another Great Meeting
Hey guys! =]
Last meeting went great! Thanks for showing up on such short notice!
I would say it ran a lot smoother than the first meeting, nice job.
For those of you that weren't able to make it, we talked about more of the projects we wanted to get started on, (Petco dog-walking day, Beach clean up, Radio show, Our Peaceful Place) assigned groups to focus on the separate projects, and we answered questions about office elections.
So, to start off, the groups that were assigned are:
PETCO: Tristy, Audrey O and Hollie
BEACH CLEAN UP: Quinn, Charlee and Emma
RADIO PSA: Lena and Sophie
OUR PEACEFUL PLACE: Me and Brittany
If anyone has any questions regarding the groups, please email me.
Next are the office elections.
THOSE INTERESTED IN BEING SECRETARY: Please, Please, PLEASE, someone sign up for secretary! I know it's not exactly the funnest job, but we really need someone to step up and do it.
THOSE INTERESTED IN BEING PHOTOGRAPHER: We have a lot of people who want this position. Remember, you should own a camera (preferably digital so we can upload them easier) if you want this position. Also, be sure to bring in a sample of your work in to the next meeting so people have an idea of your skills. You can either bring in a printed picture, your camera, or, if they're posted on a website, bring in the address so we can check it out on my laptop. In fact, it might be easier if you just send me the address in an email so I can have it pulled up when everyone gets here... yeah, that's what we'll do.
P.S.
If you have a camera, and you don't get voted official photographer, it's okay if you still take pictures. The photographer just has to take pictures at all of the events, so if one day you don't feel like it, and you're not photographer, no worries. =]
THOSE INTERESTED IN BEING WEBMASTER: Right now there's not much for webmaster to do, but later in the summer (probably around July) when the club sites are up, then you will be in charge of that. The webmaster and I will also manage this blog together, so both of us will be posting on here from time to time.
THOSE INTERESTED IN BEING VICE PRESIDENT: I only know of one person for sure who wants this position so far, but don't be afraid to go for it! This job is a really big responsibility, but I'm sure after we have finished a big project, it will all be worth it. =]
Sooo, if you want to run for any of these positions, come to the next meeting with a convincing piece of work or short speech that will help you win people's votes.
Oh, speaking of a big project, I just want everyone to keep in mind that we have to have something posted to the site by the end of June. Right now it's looking like that project will be the dog walking day, mostly because that's the project that will take little to no money.
Okay, so, next meeting...

Okay, so, next meeting...
- We will decide on the elections,
- Brainstorm within groups
- Share any information the separate project groups have gathered, and
- We are having a guest speaker!!! =D Exciting, huh?
So please come prepared with everything you'll need on Friday May 30th at 4 o'clock. Thanks guys! =]
Oh, wait! One more thing;
The One World Celebration at Fowler will be held on that same day! Our very own Quinn J will be performing a dance routine at the celebration!
After the meeting, I'm gonna head straight to the middle school and check it out. If anyone would like to take a ride with me, my mom has a seven passenger van, sooo please tell me soon. First come, first serve.
See you all the 30th!

Delayed
Hey guys.
We just found out about two softball games on Friday that my mom has to go to, and we can't really have a meeting without her. =[
So, I'm really sorry, but we have to postpone the meeting till Saturday from 3 to 5 pm. I hope you all can make it, and sorry if this sounds a lot like the email I sent out, I just really want this to get to as many people as possible.
If you see anyone from DS at your school, can you please tell them about the delay?
Please email me so I know if you'll be able to make it or not.
Oh, and just an update, but my dad and I are going to Petco on Saturday to see what's up with the dog walking thing. I also emailed someone about the radio station thing, seeing as it was high on the poll, (so was Our Peaceful Place and Bigger and Better, but we already know we're doing those. =] ) and I'm hoping they'll get back to me soon with how we can get started.
Also, I looked into the beach clean up thing, and I only found one possible event, which is the Great American Clean Up in Cannon Beach at Ocean Point Lodge, but it's in September. <http://www.oceanpoint-inn.com/WEBSITE_2/cannon-beach-lodging.html>
I think if we really want to do this beach clean up thing, we need to find out which beach needs the most attention, what time of the year no one is helping out there, how much it'll cost to drive out there, if we're gonna bring food there or eat out and when we can even all do it. Also if we wanna go with the Great American Clean Up, or if we still wanna go on our own. That's kind of a lot, sooo, if anyone's willing to help out with the research, that's great. =]
We don't have to go to the beach if it turns out to be too much trouble, we can still just clean up around here. If that's what we're leaning toward, keep an eye open for problem areas in the neighborhood. Or, if you guys are really set on the beach, we can do both =]
Brittany's working on the Our Peaceful Place thing, so hopefully we'll be hearing more about that pretty soon. Thanks Brittany =]
Don't forget about office elections and inviting a friend!! =D

Next Meeting (continued...)
Hey guys. I forgot to say a few things about the next meeting.
For one, it's supposed to be nice outside on Friday, and we finally got the backyard looking decent, soooo we're gonna have the meeting outside!! =D Alright. Maybe it's not as exciting for you as it is for me.
As for the actual business part. Just in case you didn't catch the "P.S." of the last post, we're holding office elections the meeting after next. So this Friday, if you're interested in the positions Vice President, Secretary, Photographer or Public Relations, be ready to announce that at the meeting. For the next two weeks on the blog, you can vote for who you think should hold each position. Please consider who you think would be best for the job; don't just vote for your friends. If you have any questions about the responsibilities of these positions, feel free to ask! =]
Also, we need to plan the different events we talked about. It would be GREATLY appreciated if you could take it upon yourself to research...

Also, we need to plan the different events we talked about. It would be GREATLY appreciated if you could take it upon yourself to research...
- Other organizations holding a beach clean up this summer,
- The days, hours, locations, rules, etc. of those other organizations- We talked about not wanting to go with another organization because they might have boring rules or supervisers, so if we find out more about those other groups, and decide if they're lively enough for us, we might be able to go with them. If not, well, then we'll know when they're going and we can plan a better time for us, and
- Anything about the Petco dogwalking day (i.e. how to sign up, rules, if we can sign up as a group, etc.)
We also reallllly need to talk about snack. It's been great having you all over, but even for one day, that was a lot of food. If everyone could help out with bringing snack, or if we could come up with snack schedule, that would help so much! We'll take care of it again next meeting, so don't sweat it if it's too soon for you to chip in.
Please bring your calender, too. It'd be really good to know when everyone can do these things, we want as many people to come as possible.
Always be looking for your opportunity to Pay It Forward!
See you on Friday!

Meeting 5/9/08
Soooo... FIRST MEETING WAS TODAY!!! =D
Thanks to all who came! I won't mention your names on the internet... =P
So we got a lot covered today! For those of you who weren't there and are just checking in, we decided that we want to work out something with Petco, where maybe sometime during one weekend we could all go and walk dogs together. A trash pick up might also be cool, and we're thinking about taking a trip for a beach clean up (I hope! =D ), but that's not for sure yet.
I also have all the contact info, so if anyone has a need to get in touch with people from the club, just let me know and I'll get that to you pronto.
OH YEAH. By the way, we are now OFFICIALLY Paying it Forward!!! I know, right? Pretty sweeeeet. =]
So, it was Brittany's idea to have check in's at every meeting to see how we're doing with the whole Pay it Forward thing, if we've made any progress, or just made someone's day. Start as soon as you can! The more people you get involved, the better! =]
Also, the next meeting will be Friday May 16th, same time, same place. Bring a friend! =] If they can't come next Friday, invite them for the next one!
If you didn't come to the meeting, but you think you might possibly know me, just contact me or my sister in person; don't do it on the blog, cuz I most likely won't trust you. x]
Welllll, see you guys next week!
-Court
P.S.
Next meeting we're going to be talking about government positions. (i.e. vice president, photographer, secretary) So if you're interested in any of those positions, start brainstorming ideas, just so you can convince people you'd be good for the job. =]

By The Way...
Hey, sorry if f I wasn't clear enough about what this club is about.
Alright, so, Do Something is a group that's trying to get young people involved, hence the Do Something clubs. It could be anything, as long as we actually care about it and take action on our own.
That's really what we're here for.
If I'm still not making sense, you can ask a specific question, or you can find out for yourself at www.dosomething.org/clubs.
Later
-Court
P.S.
Happy Cinco De Mayo! =]

Do Something
Hey, thanks for visiting!
Only a few people probably know about this club yet, but, hey, for those few people, this is where I'll be updating you guys on everything until the Do Something website opens up those club pages.
Plus, I'll probably update this one more often anyway, with what happened at the meetings, what we need to do, what we are doing, stuff like that. Blogger is easier to use anyway.
Right now, the club is really unstable; almost nothing is planned, a "for sure" meeting place isn't in order, I don't even know who all is interested, but I'm really determined to get this thing running.
Keep checking for more updates.
