Meeting 1/4/10

YoYoYo!!!

so today we talked about all of the upcoming events and things we want to do. but first of all................suspense................. we raised $373.06 for Change for Change. WOOHOO!!! good job you guys! That's really awesome and we should do even better next year. Here are the things we talked about:

• SOLV Beach Cleanup
• Animal Rights Club
• Club Rush 2
• To write love on her arms
• Increase your green
• Diabetes Association of America
• Our Peaceful Place
• Invisible Children

The SOLV beach cleanup is on Saturday March 19th in Seaside and it starts at 10 am and goes until 1pm. We normally go cleanup for a while and when we get hungry we go to somewhere to eat. See if you can go and let us know!

Animal Rights Club is having a visit to the humane society sometime soon and if you want to go the next meeting is next Tuesday morning during access time in Bowman's room. You should go and see if there is room for you to go. It's really fun!!!

Club Rush 2 is on Tuesday February 15th. It will be in the morning like the last one was. Do we want to make a new updated video again???

To Write Love On Her Arms is another thing we talked about. Raising awareness for depression is basically what it's about. They have a street team thing where you sign up and they have missions and when you complete a mission you get points towards their online store and you can get free stuff :D everyone likes free stuff! here is the adress for you to go sign up: http://towriteloveonherarms.fancorps.com/ Sign up and we will set apart 15 minutes or so to work during meetings so if you sign up now you can work at the meetings.

The Increase Your Green is a project that Do Something has started. It is basically a competition to see what school can reduce their carbon footprint the most. We kind of decided not to do it but if you are really into it bring it up again and we will see.

We want to help raise money and awareness for Diabetes Association of America also so we were thinking a walk-a-thon. You will pay an amount of money to join it and if you want a shirt you could pay extra. We are planning to go through cook park and having a picnic? It will be when it isn't raining as often... but we are in Oregon so who knows

Our Peaceful Place is an organization that gives food and necessities to homeless people. Right now they don't have a place so they are more of a "state of mind". We want to raise a lot of money for OPP so we came up with a lot of ideas. Can food drives, selling bracelets(Alysia can teach), getting sponsors to double what we raise, and a "splash for cash". We will have a raffle for kids to pay a dollar and if they win they get to throw paint balls at teachers who are willing to get paint balls thrown at them. :D I enjoy this idea. We have to see when the gym is open so we can do it and we need tarps... think about it. Next meeting we will search for some teachers that are willing to do it.

Invisible Children was thought to be taking over so this semester we want to focus on other projects and have IC on the side. Soooooo... think of some ways to raise awareness but it's not our main topic anymore.
