Meeting 4/11/09

Hey guys.

So, we covered a lot.

First on the list; pop cans. We're passing out notes this Saturday, April 18. If you're able to come and help, please be at my house by noon. If we get a lot of help, it probably shouldn't take too long. We'll be collecting on Saturday May 9 from 2-4 pm.

On Friday, May 8, we'll be holding auditions at the high school from 4:30-6:30. We'll have a sleep over that night so we can collect cans the next day. Let me know if you're coming to a) the auditions, b) the sleepover, or c) the can collections, or any combination.

Now Invisible Children stuff.
We talked about setting up a booth at lunch and after school to sell the rest of our Invisible Children merchandise, but my mama suggested that we do it all next week at lunch, and just forget the after school stuff. That would give us more of a chance to advertise for The Rescue. I'll check with the office about what can work as soon as possible.

Speaking of The Rescue, we're meeting at my house at 1 pm. Everyone is meeting at 3 pm, and the march starts at 4 pm. Tell everyone! If they'd like to come with us, the more the merrier! Just make sure to tell them to bring sleeping gear, something to keep warm, (i.e. a sweatshirt) 3 family photos (that include the abductee), $5 for Invisible Children, and an Invisible Children T-shirt of some sort. If they don't have one, they can always get one from our stash! Most of them are $20. Ordering them online is sort of pointless now; no way would they get here on time. So, we'll just use what we have. Let me know your size if you would like a T-shirt. Also! If your friend would like to come with our group, and is not bringing their own food, ask them to bring either money, or portable snack food to share with the group. One last thing! Sign your friend and yourself up online at the Invisible Children website. http://www.invsiblechildren.com/

And middle schoolers! Please make sure to do these three things...
1. Ask for permission to hang up the Invisible Children posters, the 1/3 campaign posters, and the band audition posters. Preferably by the end of this week.
2. Ask for permission to keep the sign up sheet for band auditions in the office.
3. Try getting the announcement made about band auditions.

If this is seriously too much for you guys, let me know soon, so I can arrange to get to your school, after class gets out for me, so I can help you guys out.

Thanks for being patient with me through this long, boring entry. You rock!

-Court

ok courtney I'm making the band audition posters but they aren't done because I dont' know about where the sign up sheet will be but I have an idea. What if we just say where the sign up sheet will be in the anounsment. Then I don't have to put it on the poster. ???
