Snow Day!

Hey guys! I hope you're all having a jolly day off! But now that we don't have a meeting today, we need to at least touch base and make sure that all our projects are where they should be.


IC Viewing: Make announcements in your classes! We won't have the time to put up posters, so spreading the word by telling people will be our best advertisement. Invite your friends to the FB event, as well. (http://tinyurl.com/27ooc2s) Don't forget whatever you signed up to bring!

Film Festival: Where are we with this? Master calendar request form is turned in, I hear. Any word if it's been approved? How about the time of the event? That will affect the movie(s) that we can chose. Speaking of that, do we have an idea about movies? Leave a comment with suggestions/what's been decided.

Lock in: So, things are looking glum at the moment, but we won't give up until absolutely necessary. People who have been contacting venues, has anyone had any luck? I'm gonna try to get a hold of a few I had in mind. Right now, that's our priority.

Human Rights Assembly: So in case you haven't heard, someone from leadership contacted us about having a presentation for the assembly! Awesome, right? Basically, we have 2-5 minutes to present who we are, what we do to help, and how people can get involved. They said a video would be fine if we want to do that, but three are already being shown. What are you thoughts? What would you like to see done in that assembly?

Change 4 Change: What we need now are jars for the actual collecting, and publicity. I'll work on a promotional video this weekend, and we've got the Facebook page set up, but what other ideas do people have? And who would like to find jars that would work?

1 in 3 editing: As far as I know, the extra interviews that we wanted to have happen have not happened. Come on, guys, I really need something to work with. At this point, we don't have enough footage to make a credible PSA. All I need is for the interviews to be set up. Please, any takers? Also, editing day is this Saturday! Anyone who can go, I am thinking from 1 to 4 p.m. Thoughts?


Some other things you may be interested in...

• Fur Free Friday march this Friday! Check FB for more info... (http://tinyurl.com/2dhcuxp)
• Tomorrow is the day we've been waiting for! Tomorrow Obama will release his plan for US involvement in Uganda! Hopefully everyone has signed the pledge to read his strategy... (http://www.theresolve.org/from-promise-to-peace)
• IC is offering an easy fundraiser to earn more money for the competition. They are sending out beaded necklaces to sell! That combined with the t-shirts that we are ordering will hopefully pull in a bit more money. I've already placed an order for the beads, and the t-shirts will hopefully be on the way soon.

Thanks so much for all your hard work! This is probably one of the best years Do Something has had in quite a while, and it's all thanks to you.

Have a happy snow day!

Update 11/12

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday! Our total for the competition is now $70.81, which isn't bad at all, but we can still do a lot better! We got this, guys!

Here's a video filmed by a man named Joe Anybody who saw us downtown yesterday... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGzSefbbPu4

We put a great dent in our total, and we've got a lot of other activities coming up. So just be sure to stay on top of things! If your committee still had things that were undecided, try and come to the next meeting with more details so that final decisions can be made, and we can move forward.

Thank you so much for all of your effort! This has been a great year so far!

Update 11/7

Hey everyone!

A lot of discussion has been happening in the comments of the last post. Check it out if you'd like.

First of all, the plan for Tuesday is for everyone to get together at lunch and gather donations. We will also record our hair whipping contribution. So basically, please comment with what lunch you have so that we can plan everything out.

There has been brief talk about doing something in public, as in not at school. If you have any suggestions for this, please leave a comment. If we can plan this out over the blog, we might be able to get together this weekend on a day when people aren't busy. Let us know, please!

Some random notes:
-Comment if you're interested in helping out with editing the PSA for 1 in 3!
-Ideas for the Human Rights assembly? Keep 'em brewing in your pretty little heads, and bring them to the next meeting.
-Gather those pledges for the Walk-A-Thon!
-Got a Facebook? Like the THS Schools for Schools Competition Page! http://tinyurl.com/23v92gm

Oh. Did we mention that we would love it if you COMMENTED?

Thanks!

-Court

meeting 11/2/10

Howdy Y'all!
Before I say anything else, remember to bring 1 friend to the meeting next week! and comment on the blog to say you read it!

Anyways... we talked A LOT about fund raising today but we also talked about 1 in 3. Thank you to Alysia and Tanner for volunteering to interview for our PSA. (make sure you have the facts by November 20th) Tanner will you be able to do it? If any of you know anyone who has been in an abusive relationship, ask them if they would be willing to be interviewed for our PSA also. (we can make it anonymous!) OH and Courtney was wondering if anyone wanted to help her edit for the video. I think it will be over Thanksgiving weekend... am I right?
The Human rights assembly would be a good time to show our PSA at. It is Wednesday December 1st so we have to ask the assembly organizers if it would be okay.

Bring 1 person to the meeting next week! we need more people because the more people we have is the less work for you and the more things we can get done!

OKAY! on Saturday November 20th is a walk-a-thon to raise money for our club. It goes from 8-10am at the track at THS. We got our pledges today during the meeting and if you didn't get one you should find one of the officers and get your copy from them. Try to get as many pledges as you can! If you are confused about how to fill it out *cough cough Charlee* :D ask another person if they get it. and make sure you have all of your pledges by the 20th!

TEXT 102402 to 73774! EVERYDAY!!!!!

Now for Schools-for-Schools: we came up with like 50 ideas so bear with me!
Does anyone have an idea for an easy fundraiser that we can use for a hair whipping video. all we have to do is earn money for schools-for-schools while flipping our hair and we make a video of it. the deadline is November 15th sooooo basically we need to do our video by next Tuesday... Try to come up with some good ideas, we might walk around at lunch and whip our hair or stand on the corner by the school and do it... what do you guys think?!?!?!

We like new people! bring a friend! and comment on the blog!

We are also going to do a change for change thing at school. basically each class has a jar and they get points for every coin they have but you can also put dollar bills in other classes to make their score go down. The winning class would get a free piece of pizza, (maybe Little Ceasars would donate?) all they have to do is bring their ID card and show it at lunch and they get a free piece of pizza! we were thinking about announcing this at an assembly and the deadline would be December 10th so we have time to count the money and figure out what class wins. The pizza party would be the 17th of December.

Comment on the blog and bring a friend!

We talked about the Quidditch tournament again. We were thinking about having 4 teams, 1 staff team and 3 Student teams. We would have a training day in late November (whenever the gym is open) and the actual tourney would be the second week of December. Emma is in charge of finding the days we can use the school! THANKYOU! ANNND all the money we get from the Quidditch would go to Schools for Schools also!

HEY :) http://www.refresheverything.com/search/?q=Tigard

What do you guys think of having a movie night at school? maybe in the lower rotunda we would charge $2 for admission and people could come and watch movies and hang out with their friends and wear PJ's. It would be on a Friday because what else are you going to do on Friday? certainly not homework! ;) If we do this we also need a building use form and movies we would like to watch. This would be on December 3rd and we could kick it off with our PSA because that is the deadline for it (National Talk Day.)

I wish i had more friends... *hint hint* :)

We also talked briefly about advertising in stores (you know the little coin donation boxes they have at registers) so if you would like to, go to some stores and ask the manager how you would go about putting coin boxes there to use.

write a comment, Bring a friend!

On the last day of Schools for Schools we want to have a venue(Church, school, or some kind of building) and have a lock in. We will have different activities in different rooms (guitar hero, twister, etc.) and we would just party all night long. It would be "like a carnival over night"! There would be a fee for entering into competitions. It would be on December 17th, which is also the money deadline and the last day before winter break. If you have any ideas comment or put in the suggestion jar... make sure you still comment though!!!

And If I haven't said it before, BRING A FRIEND!!!
