Meeting 3/15/11 was cancled

Sorry to the people that wanted to go to the meeting today. There weren't very many people comming and there wasn't a ton to talk about but there is enough for a blog. Please COMMENT ON THIS BLOG! This is really really important! And I will text you a ton!!!!

Head count needed ASAP! The Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary is this Saturday and I need to know who is going! My mom and Alysia can drive and we can get my dad if needed but I need to know by Thursday at the latest! For sure we will all meet at THS at 7:50-8:00am and will leave at 8:00. Depending on which car fills up first Alysia's van is $4 and mine is $3. Bring $4 just in case you can't get into the cheeper car. If you are going you need to bring these things.

• Bring rubber boots or boots that you can get really muddy
• Gloves
• A vegatarian lunch in respect for the animals
• Cut apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc to feed the animals with
• Gas money
• Water bottle!

If for some reason you can't bring a veggie lunch tell me and we'll cover you. Meat will not be eated there and if you bring it and we don't have extras you're eating in a car... Also if you can't bring animal treats we'll bring extras.

Head count for Beach Clean Up is need too!

Since it is sprin we are having elections! Today was supposed to be the day that we had nominations so leave your nominations in the comments. You can nominate yourself or someone else and voting will be next meeting so BE THERE!

The Diabeties Walk is comming up and we need to know what's going on with the disease... 3 people need to sign up to do research on symptems and effects it has on peoples lives. Also look up things like how close we are to a cure... 3 people!!!

Last but not least. Things have been horrible in Japan and many lives have been lost. Courtney proposed the idea of making a mamorial for them like we did for the LRA. I know that it would be after Spring Break and it might not be as relavent but I think that things will still be bad and our support and or prayers/happy thoughts will be needed. She wanted to make paper cranes so if you can and really want to help please make some over the break even if you don't know how look it up. THANK YOU AND COMMENT!!!!

meeting 3/8

Sorry for the late post... it's been a busy week...
For the beach cleanup we are going to Lincoln City and it is from 10am-1pm.
And we are doing a Ralley open for anyone in Tigard-Tualitin we want to sell things... We were thinking of selling glow sticks, face paint, food (people who knw how to run concessions), showing a movie, and selling shirts and bracelets also. What do you think of doing a variety show? Get your friends together-Tigerettes, Choir, Theatre, and Band people!!! money is good!
We also talked about the Diabetes walk through Cook Park. It is open to anyone who wants to join and instead of paying to join we will get pledges for how far we walk and make sure you get the money to Alysia!!! We are going t make a facebook group and T-shirts and also a video about it to show to classes... Courtney was going to talk to Katelyn Yarnell correct? I can't remember sorry...
Comment on the blog
Make sure you sign up for T.W.L.O.H.A street team if you aven't already and make sure you have done some events!
Saturday after the Tigerettes do "Night of Dance" or whatever it is called the thespians are doing a movie showing of Inception. $5 donation suggested. It is in the Auditorium.
We also thought about doing "25". It is something to raise money and awareness for Invisible children and the war in Uganda. Get $25 by April 25th and on that day you are supposed to be quiet for 25 hours(it's hard but we can do it!!!) Raising awareness is good so we need to make a Facebook page, tell your friends, walk around with a jar and ask for money (works really well) and ask people to sponsor us for every hour we are quiet.

and Don't forget to ask parents if they can drive to the Lighthouse farm sanctuary on the 19th!!!

An idea...

Hey guys.

Not quite sure where the blog from this Tuesday is... but in light of recent events, I thought I would bring up a thought with you guys.

I'm sure you've heard of the tsunami-inducing earthquake that has now destroyed many parts of Japan. There have been reports of a suspected leak at the nuclear plant, and the death toll is estimated to be over 1,000.

Do Something sent out an email this morning, with the idea of making paper cranes for Japan. The cranes symbolize hope for the Japanese people and it's quite a touching motion. There's a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/papercranesforjapan) where we can post pictures of the cranes we've made.

I was wondering if you want me to try and get in contact with people over the weekend so that by lunch on Monday, we can have a table set up with a crane-making station and donation jars? Would you be interested/think it's a good idea/be willing to man the table/teach people how to make cranes?

Thanks!
