Thank you all for coming to the meeting today! It was so great to have nearly everyone there, and I think we got a lot done!
We talked a lot about the performing arts fundraiser. Here's what we came up with...
- A two-day event at Cook Park
- For one day, an area should be reserved for a concert
- The next day, a talent show, or random acts, like dances or skits
- Craft area for kids
- Maybe a sports game to play
- A cat walk/fashion show, where people can place their votes by donating money
- A Do Something pinata ;]
- Car smash, and
- Dunk tank
We're gonna try to have a message on the morning announcements asking for any bands that would be interested in performing. If we get a lot of responses, we'll probably have auditions to narrow down the selection.
We also talked a little bit about Invisible Children. We're doing another viewing, but this time it'll be at the school. I think a good date would be March 20th, but we can talk about it later. We also decided to maybe advertise by putting up booths in the morning or at lunch to educate people about the organization. I think we can just pull out some of the stuff that we used for the viewing on Dec. 6th to copy and pass out again.
Also, we sort of established that there are several things that determine whether you're a volunteer, or a member of Do Something of Mapleleaf. Members pay $5 a year, they have the official shirts with logos, and they show up to the majority of the meetings. Volunteers are responsible for making their own shirts so that they can volunteer with us, and they let me know if they want to help out with any of the projects that we do. So, members are the planners, and volunteers... volunteer.
And last, we finally have regular meeting times! All meetings will be on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month from 4-6 pm. I still need you to let me know if you'll be able to make it, though. If I don't hear from you, I'll just assume you're coming, and I will be upset if you don't.
I hope to see you all next time! Which will be February 28. Thanks!
