5/25- No meeting, I guess

Hey guys.
Only three people were able to come today, which isn't exactly enough for what we had planned. So we're going to have to talk over the blog about what we would have talked about today.

First thing: for the river clean up idea that Aaron introduced, we have to decide on a date. Things to keep in mind: if we do this during summer, people might be off on vacations, so not everyone would be able to do it. In my opinion, we should do it sometime in these next few weeks, before we have to start stressing about finals, and before people start leaving on vacations. Please post your ideas in the comments!

Should we have a meeting on June 15, which is during the last week of school, or should our last actual meeting be June 8?

We need someone to type pop can flyers soon, so that Alysia (love you!) can make copies.

This is just a thought, but I think that we should arrange a few more interviews for the PSA. Alysia and I did the interview with the counselor from the School Based Health Center last week, and we got a lot of terrific information. (We can watch the footage at the next meeting) Be researching any mental health professionals or events that we can cover for more of this type of info.

The Invisible Children fall tour is already starting to be booked up. Basically what this entails is that a crew of roadies, as well as a Ugandan guest speaker, would come to our venue and show a video of our choice. If we wanted to arrange them to stop at our library viewing, (which is also just an idea. We talked about making the viewing the best we can, and I think this is an amazing opportunity) we have to start thinking about possible date ranges for the vieiwng. They've already booked into October, which is why it's important we start thinking now.

Okay, so things to comment about...

1. When do you want to do the river clean up?
2. June 15th meeting, yes or no?
3. Who wants to make pop can flyers? :D
4. Do your research on mental health professionals, and bring anything interesting to the next meeting.
5. Do we want to put our viewing on the tour schedule for IC? If so, write down any ideas regarding the date in the comments.

Even if you don't comment on every matter, I think that if you don't comment at all, you're going to get a consequence. If you read this before someone else, just spread the word! Sorry it's such a long post, but this is what we got!

So, I'll see you all in a week!
