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!!!!!!

So I can't do the cleanup this saturday but i am still interested in the river cleanup and i will be at the Spary Paint Party. Do we need to bring anything??
maybe someone could get drinks for the party? we have cups and cookies and some candy already here. And I think we should meet in the room before we go because I'll probably drive everyone if there's space.
I would like to kno more details about the lobby meeting, like where and when. Cause I'm totally going.
I think we should make little flyers that tell people what we are doing on the 25 so we don't have to talk ya kno... we could type a little paragraph so we could fit at least 5 on a page. (I could do this but I think Court should write and outline or something cause you kinda kno a lot more about it than I do)
I do think I'm able to do the cleanup this Saturday just need more info. Oh and on Friday I will not be using any lights or electricity or anything. Everything will be powered down. I'm even walking to school. :)
The river clean up! People can contact Nicole Watson on facebook or text/call her cell at (503)332-9159.
(Don't worry, she told me to put her number up on here)
OH OH OH!!!! AND I'M SOOOO EXTREMLY HAPPY ABOUT HOW FAST THE BLOG WENT UP!!!! I was like *scroll down* "1 comment" WHAAA?! *scroll up* "4/19" :D WHAAAA!!
sorry this is so long... but I have 46 cranes so far
Well, that's the thing, I don't know when it is yet. It will most likely be next week. But it's at Jeff Merkley's office in Portland, which is downtown. So, I'll still keep you posted as soon as I know.
Mkay, I can do that. I can draft something up and send it to you over email.
P.S.
Just cuz we're staying silent on the 25th doesn't mean that we can't start fundraising right away! So go go go!
That is a beautiful idea! Think of how much electricity we could save if everyone in the club did that! You guys up for the challenge? :]
Wonderful! So your's plus the 119 we have at school makes... 165! That's 16.5% of the way there! I believe in us, guys!
How many cranes is our club personally trying to make?
And I want to go to the River Clean up, when is it?
And I'm pretty sure I can make it to some of the clean up this weekend. Who else is going and are we carpooling?
I SOOO want to go to the meeting with Jeff Merkely! That's so awesome, court! So the 25th is on Monday, how should we raise money up until then? Just tell people about it? Should we carry around a jar? Courtney, I think you should comment telling us exactly what we should tell people we're raising money for so we can tell them accurate information.. Thankss (:
I MIGHT have a game next Tuesday, if not, I'll have practice but can try to get out ASAP for the Spray Paint Party.
And I'll try to do the no electricity on Friday, yet, I do have a softball game, so I'll be taking the bus.. SO I guess that's kind of cheating, yet carpooling? I dunno.. (:
Love,
Charlee
There are various possible answers for that. So here's a link to sign up and get more info. http://www2.invisiblechildren.com/25
I've been carrying around a jar. Wear your IC gear, write 25 on your forehead, post on Facebook, send letters/emails to friends and family, whatever you can do, give it a try.
We are making 1,000 cranes. We have 181 thusfar, and that is basically just from our club. If we can get other people to help/donate money, that would be fantastic.
The River Clean Ups are on Saturdays, but again, they said they only wanted to come back if people were interested. So I was just seeing who was interested so that they can tell us an exact date. And we need to follow through this time if we actually are going to volunteer with them. I understand people are busy and it doesn't always work out, but if we get a date and you say you can go, please go.
Char, I'm going to the tree planting, so I'm pretty sure we can arrange carpooling. That goes for anyone else who is interested, as well.
I have a birthday party to go to on saturday so i can't make it to the river cleanup...
Also um, the spray paint party, is thats just for hanging out right?
PS: I'll try making some more paper cranes once i get ahold of some paper
