Meeting 4/19

Hey guys!

So first, we would like to know who is still interested in doing the river cleanup with NHS. If you would like to go please comment saying so.

Earth Day is this Friday and in order to celebrate the Earth the club Friends First wants to team up with us to do the Bull Mountain Meadows Forest Cleanup this Saturday from 10 am to 2pm. Comment if you would like to go and Courtney will give you more information.

So Resolve and 25 are teamed up with the 25 day of silence. If you can raise 25 dollars by the 25th you will be added to the list of Break the Silence which is where you watch a short film and then after break the silence and there will be a cooncert following. This is for people who participate in the 25 hours of silence. This is all in Downtown Portland for more info comment saying you want to participate.

A Bill was passed against the LRA kidnapping children but the bill still needs to be funded and we need to help and get Congress to fund otherwise all our hardwork will be wasted. Courtney is leading a Lobby meeting with Jeff Murkley about this and would love to have people come and show support.

Next Tuesday is our Spray Paint Party!! This is at Alysias house. Are we meeting before we go to your house? And where is it for people who have never been there before?


LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Meeting April 5, 2011

Hey guys!! So at the meeting today we talked about many things. First we talked about having an initiation for members that are going to stick around for the long run. Courtney came up with the idea of making new Do Something shirts and having the spray paint party as initiation and then watching a inspirational movie afterwards. We need to decide on date for this. Comment with suggestions. Prefferably a tuesday and if someone would be willing to hold it at their house that would be great. We wanted to make new t-shirts and need help coming up with a design for our club. Comment if you have an idea. Then we talked about selling t-shirts to help raise money for 25. We wanted to change the design and put 25's logo on the t-shirts. So for the Carnival we can't do darts or ballons because people have already signed up with those booths. We decided to do games from Minute To Win It. If everyone could look up some games and comment with a few favorites that would be awesome!! Also to help with 25 we wanted to do fundrasing called Bigger and Better. Basically you start with a paper clip and try to bargain with someone for something bigger and better. (haha get it!) Then we would sell the items we got for money to donate to 25. We were thinking of going around someones neighborhood. And guys don't forget the cure we found for world hunger at the meeting. For the paper cranes, we are having a meeting during both lunches on thursday in the library to work on making posters. Also Quinn metioned makking a giant crane so if you want to do that, that would be awesome. And last we talked about getting support from teachers for the Peace Out Rally. Basically lokking for people to supervise as well as back up our cause. If I forgot anything please comment and let me know. Other than that read and COMMENT!!!

Meeting March 29th

Hey guys! Sorry about the late blog post, I have been really busy. Anyways... Last time we had elections!!! Our new Sectetray is... Spencer (me)! Our new Vice President is ... Charlee! And last but not least our new President is .... Emma!!! We talked about the Diabetes Walk last time amd decided not to do it because it cost alot of money. Instead we were going to donate $100 to them. Also Splash 4 Cash is a no go as well. But we are still going to do the peace out rally. But the good news is that we want to set up a booth for our school carnival. The carnival is on Friday April 15th. We had a few ideas of ballon darts or poster darts. For the ballon darts we would need some big cork boards and thought of charging people $1 for 3 darts. For the poster darts we need to get a lot of posters. If anyone has another other ideas please comment!! Last blog Courtney posted a thing about making paper cranes for Japan. Do Something if giving Japan $2 for every paper crane that is made to help with the diaster. At the end they plan on making a mural with the paper cranes and sending it to Japan. We want to help and set up a table at lunch to have people make cranes. If you could comment to say if you could help that would be great. We also need a lot of paper, so if everyone could bring in printer paper or origami paper that would be awesome! We also thought about having a banner for people to sign saying they have made paper crane. That's all we talked about this week. Please comment with suggestions for the carnival or just saying you read the blog!!!!! -Thanks a bunch, Spencer
