Meeting January, 11th, 2011. 1.11.11 <--- Cool huh? :D

Anyways, hello!
First and for most, if you are reading this, THANK YOU! And major kudos to you! Reading the blog is a very good thing. ^-^  And alsooo... THANK YOU Quinn, and Emma, and Courtney, and who ever else I'm forgetting that has ever posted a blog. It's a lot harder than it looks, and I'm complaining after only one time, so imagine how they feel! Sorrrrry, I'm rambling. Anyway thanksss!!
Love,
Charlee

Kay so here's the real blog post... What we talked about today are as follows :
  • Splash for Cash
  • Diabetes Walk
  • Additional Volunteering like... The Soup Kitchen, Portland Rescue Mission, GSA/ARC Partnership
For Splash for Cash, we brainstormed a list of teachers that might just be interested in letting students throw paint at them! Yay for them! Here's our list, and the people who are supposed to contact them to see if they'll actually do it (:  :
  • Wilson, McKee & Hummel- Quinn
  • Carlisle, Caro, & Hermanson- Courtney
  • Rutschman, & Savage- Annie/ Eli
  • Smith, & Jarman- Eli
  • Kitchen- Emma
  • Dehaan- Clara
  • Bowman- Already approved!  :D
And I just got a thought... Maybe, we should send the teachers that follow through with this some type of thank you thing? I think that'd be nice... Anyway, just in case you forgot,  Splash for Cash's profits go towards Our Peaceful Place! HOORAY! :)  We were thinking of using the parking lot instead of the gym. Possibly, depending on if lame people would email Courtney back. But if people continue to not cooperate, we'll just have to wing it and hope its not raining! The possible date we came up with is WEDNESDAY, MAY 18th, 2011. After school.

All we really discussed for the Diabetes Walk is when we want to have it. But hey, did you know that we live in Oregon and it rains a lot? I didn't! Noo, just playing. But seriously, it would not be fun to go in the rain. Although it's fun to fund raise, it is not fun to do it miserably. So we're crossing our fingers for SATURDAY, APRIL 16th, 2011. Let us know how that works for you(:

So we talked about a few other things we could do for just some additional volunteering. The Soup Kitchen was mentioned... And I guess we should contact Aimee Bolton for information ? I dunno.. We didn't get much on that...
We talked about volunteering at the Portland Rescue Mission! Good for us! (:
Also, we should try and partner with GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) and ARC (Animal Rights Club) so we can get some club to club support! We'll join GSA's Day of Silence, or possibly, Day of NOISE! I'm looking forward to that (: We'll meet up with ARC and go to the Humane Society and have fun petting animals and shtuff (: Who wouldn't mind petting animal strangers for 3 hours? I know I wouldn't. (:

And that's pretty much all I got, so, if you have any questions, what should you do? You should comment.
And if I missed anything, I'm so terribly sorry!!

OH, and don't forget to text 102402 to 73774  EVERY DAY to support our lovely THS band (:
Thanks, lovelies!
Over and Out, haha,
Charlee <3

Haha you mean it isn't quinntastic... haha but it's charleeliscious... how ever you spell it! I loved it! And the other thing that we were thinking about doing with ARC was to go to the Light House Farm Sanctuary to volunteer at a work party.
I've done it before so I can give a little insight.
What you do is you go to a place a little farther than Salema dn it's a farm that has taken in abandaned and abused animals and they care for them. They don't kill them for meat or use them for anything. There are chickens, goats, pigs, cows, horses... tons!!!! And we muck stalls (coops) feed animals, and I even helpped them weed their little garden.

GREAT BLOG!

OH MY GOSH! That sounds like so much fun! Yeah, I must have forgotten to write that down in my notes because of how absolutely intrigued I was about it the first time I heard it(: So yeah, does that have a specific date, or is that just when ever?
And thanks for the blogliments. (Compliments + Blog) hehe (:

And actually.. I guess I was exaggerating.. Doing the blog isn't all that bad! Quinn, since you've been doing such a great job at it for a while, and Court, you too, I think I will take over for a while (: Maybe we should take shifts? I dunno, just a thought.
Love,
Charlee (:

Oh, and Angus says "I read it". Isn't he enthusiastic? :D

Courtney said...

Thaaaat's cuz we didn't talk about them at the meeting, I just wanna keep you guys informed.
Clara came up after the meeting to let us know about the natural beauty thing, and a SOLV rep sent me an email about the tree plantings. I figured some people might want to go? I think I wanna try to go on Feb 5, cuz I can't on the 19th, just in case anyone else is interested...
