And so the fundraising begins...

Thanks to everyone who saw Invisible Children on Friday and came to our meeting. I think it was a great success! So, we have to begin fundraising very soon. Here are the main ideas we came up with, at least in the short term:

-Penny Wars (headed by Sarah Hyun)
-Book drive (headed by Ryan Roberts)
-Cafeteria/visuals/??? (headed by Brennan Ashton)
-Coin/donation jars at stores, games, farmers market etc (headed by Maddie Smith, Aissa Yazzie, Joe Murphy)

We want to get these all started up next week but there is stuff we need to do first: fundraising permission forms, publicity (posters etc), boxes for books, schedules for shifts, the list goes on and on.

The meeting on Friday will be (at least partially) about getting this organized, but feel free (please do) to get started now. THE SOONER THE BETTER as we are working under a deadline. If you are interested in any of these projects please contact the people listed, they are going to need help. And of course the officers are here if anyone has questions, needs help, etc. Lets just all try to keep in contact!

IMPORTANT: Before any actual fundraising is done, a form needs to be filled out and approved by the ASB. So if you need that before Friday (and the sooner the better) please talk to the officers, especially our treasurer Brailey Murray-Kraft.

Any more ideas, suggestions, improvements, please let the club know! We all want to make this project as successful as ever. Sara set us a goal of $10,000 which is a LOT but I know we can do it!

Thanks, see you Friday
