October 8 Meeting

Hey Everyone! We confirmed that we will meet at Colima's for dinner on October 18th; however, the time has changed from 7:00 to 7:30. We would love for all members to attend, because this will be a great chance for us to get to know each other over a relaxing meal. In addressing the needs of the bake sale, we passed around a sign-up sheets to determine who could bring what items. If you would like to bring some baked goods for us to sale on October 22 (0r if you can help work the booth any time between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM), please send this information to rrdaves1@catamount.wcu.edu . Also, we discussed joining "The Fighting Octopi" team for Relay for life. All members in attendance supported this idea. Further details will be discussed during future meetings. I hope to see everyone on the 18th!

Collegiate Link

Hey all! Please do not forget to add Concerened Helpers in Learning Development (CHILD) on Collegiatelink. This is something new that our school is trying this year. The site is - http://wcu.collegiatelink.net. Just find CHILD on there and add it and one of us officers should be able to do the rest! Thanks and have a great rest of the week!

September 24, 2007 Minutes

We got the ball rolling and have made plans to hold our first Bake Sale this year on Monday, October 22, 2007 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. under the Killian Breezeway. We would like to have at least two people for each time slot. So, if you weren't at the meeting and would like to sign up for a time, e-mail Reida and let her know which time and she will add it to her spreadsheet. Also, please e-mail Reida and let her know what you can bring to the bake sale (we did not sign up for this at the meeting).

We have set a tentative date of Thursday, October 18th to have dinner as a group. We have decided to have this at Colima's Mexican Restaurant at 7 p.m. If you are able to make it that would be wonderful! This will be a great way to get to know everyone better and build community!!!

Stephanie Doig has graciously volunteered herself to work on our bulletin board! Thanks!

Finally, we talked about getting some type of puppet show or game night type of deal together for a local elementary schools after school program. We are looking into getting that arranged at Cullowhee Valley or Fairview (since they are the 2 closest to campus).

Meeting 9/24/07

Just a small reminder about the meeting tonight at 7 p.m. in Killian 109! Bring a friend :o)

March 19 meeting notes

Hello everyone! As you know our t-shirts came in this week and we distributed them at last nights meeting. Below are the things that were discussed at the meeting.

-We started off discussing a program that Books-a-million has a program in which it would donate some of its funds to us, something that sounded like a good idea

-The Education Coalition would like to know if we will be helping them in the fall. If you need any information about them, please contact me

-It was brought up that we will probably start having an icebreaker before each meeting to help the meetings go a bit smoother, so bring a friend!

-Next Meeting: 4-2-07 at 7pm in Killian 127 (we have made that the designated meeting place for all future meetings, if we have to meet somewhere else then a sign will be posted on the door.) Our next meeting will also be posted through MyCat

-Our next sale will either be a sucker sale or a bake sale, for the sucker sale it will be $120.00 for two bags

-Our t-shirts came in, contact Courtney for information if you have any interested people.


**Please don't forget about our next meeting!! We'd love for you to be there. Bring a friend because in order to become a better organization we must have more interest and members! Next meeting be prepared for something fun and exciting! :)

Have a great week!

T-shirts have been ordered!!

Our t-shirts have finally been ordered! Courtney took it to the place in Asheville where we are getting them from. We ordered 80 shirts instead of 100 because we didn't think that we would get them all sold considering its winding down to the end of the semester. So, we have about 12 of each size small to x-large extra for others to buy if they want them. If there are any questions, once again please feel free to contact any officer!

Have a GREAT Spring Break!

Just a few things to know.....

Hello everyone! Here's the first post for the New Year 2007! It's been a while so let's see how this thing is going to work :)

A few updates.....
*The t-shirt orders didn't go out this past Friday. Courtney had some car trouble and wasn't able to make it to Asheville, but the orders WILL go out this week. No worries, we WILL get the shirts by the end of the semester.
*Britney has informed me that we have books ordered. The lady that she talked to isn't able to get us the deal we first had set but we are getting 80 books for $100. If we don't have the money at the time to pay for all of these books, don't worry, the lady is going to give them to the school she is working at.

**If you ever have any questions at all, feel free to contact any of us officers by e-mail. (I'm not posting phone numbers on here because of safety issues)

****I don’t think we are going to be able to do the hot chocolate sale for Beat App Week. I don’t think that we are going to have ways to keep it hot. Unless anyone else has an idea, we’ll just do a bake sale and everyone can bake the same stuff they did for the last sale. This seems the easiest way to do this since it’s coming up so fast. If anyone else has any other ideas, please let me know ASAP!!! Also, let me know if you could bake again (the same stuff)- em31955@wcu.edu. Thanks!

Start selling shirts ASAP. We want to have our order together before Thanksgiving!

Ladies doing the speaker, see if you can rearrange this and let me know ASAP if you can or can’t! Thanks.

Publicity- get in touch with me ASAP; I have some pictures for the board; also, we need several signs up about this soup sale and we will need ones for Beat App Week (let me know if you need help)

Hey guys

Thanks for all who came tonight; it was lots of fun. I'll post stuff soon about everything that we talked about.

Next CHILD meeting

Next CHILD meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 26, 2006 at 6:30 at Colima's. Our main priorities will be to EAT and JUST HAVE FUN. However, we will need to discuss a few things - mainly stuff about the shirts (this will NOT take too long). You are welcome to invite a guest. PLEASE let me know ASAP if anyone will be coming with you so I can give Colima's a headcount. If I have not received an email from you, I still need to know if you are coming so email me. I will probably be bringing a guest so each of you are more than welcome to do this. Remember, this meal is on you; we do NOT have the money to pay for everyone at this time. If you have any questions or need a ride, please let me know. I already know Lauren will be needing a ride. If the money issue is a problem, please let me know and we can figure something out so that you can still attend. Hope you all have a GREAT break. Talk to you soon. Erika

About next meeting

Hey guys... just wanted to say thanks to all who baked, helped with bake sale, and helped/attended the homecoming parade. Everything went fantastic! About the next meeting... Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 26, 2006 at 6:30. I have been talking to some people about getting together and going out to eat - several people have told me that this would be a good, relaxing time just to get to know one another (I know a lot of you were given this opportunity at the homecoming parade...I'm glad!). But, I do think that it would be a good idea for all of us to get to know one another better minus all of the stress of the school setting. So... two options - we can do this on Thursday the 26th (go out to eat and have our meeting towards the end of our supper) OR we can have our meeting on campus Thursday the 26th and then do the eating out thing another night. I'm thinking, from people I've talked with thus far, that eating out and meeting at the same time on the 26th would work the best. Also, I have been asked that we do Colima's if everyone else likes that (for those of you that know me you know that this works great for me - I LOVE COLIMA'S). BUT we will arrange and pick as needed to meet everyone's needs. What I need from you... I need an email from each of you telling me what you would prefer; so answer these questions-
1. Do you want to just have the meeting on campus the 26th? OR do you want to meet and eat on the 26th?
2. If you do not want to meet and eat on the 26th, what other night would work better for you; honestly, if this night will not work then we will probably have to pick a weekend night? Note, even if we don't eat we will still be having a meeting!
3. What eating place works best for you?
4. Would you need a ride to the eating place whatever day we do it?
I would like to have these emails back before Fall Break so I can post back on here our plans. So keep checking this site daily!
At our next meeting, we will be talking about the following:
-Money issues
-Money to poster girls?
-Money for Books on Tape?
-Soup Sale
-Speakers
-AWAKE
-T-shirts
***If there are any other topics that need to be discussed please let me know.
THANKS AGAIN for everything that each of you are doing. If ANYONE needs help with ANYTHING please let someone know. I don't want anyone upset because they are so overwhelmed with school, club stuff, personal life, etc. Have a great week ladies (and DANIEL!). My email is em31955@wcu.edu don't forget to let me know about the next meeting and supper ASAP! Erika

Just a note to lighten your load...

Hey guys. Hope you are all having a great beginning of the week. Just wanted to let you know - if I, or anyone else, asks you to get something done by a certain date don't take this as if you don't get it done by then we are going to jump down your case. We are ALL extremely busy. Last year, we didn't meet about three-fourths of our deadlines so don't ever think that we will be mad if we miss a couple of this year's deadlines. We are just so happy to have so many people involved and trying their best to get stuff done. Now, there is a difference between putting stuff off and never doing it and just not being able to get to it because of school work. Trust me... school work DOES come first; it does and always will for me (as I expect it will for you!). If you can't meet a deadline or feel you are running out of time trying to get something together, email or IM someone and we'll work it out together. There is no need for anyone in this club to feel stressed because of club work; you have too many more important things to worry about. Please don't hesitate to ask for help. With all of that said, I hope you all feel better. Have a great week and I will see many of you Thursday at the bake sale. Don't forget about the meeting after the sale!

News

Bake sale is this Thursday (10-12-06)! Some people have said that they were confused on this bc I didn't say the exact date in the last blog - sorry! Also, we are NOT meeting tomorrow (Monday night) to make anything. Next time we will all see each other is Thursday during the sale and that night for the meeting (and maybe for the banner making). Any questions, please call.

Lots of news... please read carefully

First, there are no more homecoming banners. However, Thursday the 12th from 6-10 there will be a homecoming banner making in the UC; at this time, there will be a few extra banners. At our meeting at 630 this same night in front of Killian, we will decide if we want to go to this or just go with the posters. Going to this, will depend on how many people can go straight from our meeting to the UC to get started making it. The whole banner will have to be done this night because it is due the next day (if we decide to do it!). We will discuss this Thursday night. Obviously, the homecoming banner making is off Monday night.

Second, here is a list of bake sale times. The only location is in the Killian Breezeway. The permit needs to be at this table at 930 AM. All baked items need to be at this table pretty early in the morning. Same procedures go as last time, if you need anything call me (Erika 7044183773).

930-1030- Emily and Amy
1030-1130- Meredith
1130-1230- Courtney, Meredith, Heather
1230-130- Britney, Kimmy, Lauren, Hayley
130-230- Erika
230-330- Erika and Amy
330-430- Jessica, Emily, Amy
430-530- Erika, Reida, Jennifer, Michelle
***IF you were not at the meeting and can work one of these times, please email me and I will add you to this list.
WE WILL NOT CHANGE THIS BAKESALE DAY!!! THIS DAY IS A DEFINITE GO THIS TIME. IF YOU CANNOT SHOW PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY! THANKS.

These are the people who signed up for the homecoming parade. Remember to meet at the church NO LATER than 345. Line up is at 430. The parade will probably be over around 7 or 8; make sure you leave this whole afternoon and early night open if you are doing this. Also, remember to bring candy to throw out. If you are not able to attend, try to buy some candy and get it to one of the following people. If you said you would bring balloons, tape, signs, etc. don't foget to bring them. It will probably be cool by the beginning of the parade so dress appropriately. I WILL NOT be at the homecoming parade because I am working the Fall Festival at my elementary school; any questions need to be directed to Daniel (dpfielder@yahoo.com; his screenname is doubleodan56). If you were not at the meeting and would like to do the parade, email or IM daniel please. If you have to cancel, let Daniel know immediately. If you cannot leave at 345 and want to get there on your own, also let Daniel know. You guys also have Melissa's number so call if you need her. I will have my cell on me if you need anything this night. I'll call and see how it's going too! Good luck! Here are the name for the people attending the parade-
Reida
Jennifer
Jessica
Daniel
Meredith
Heather
Courtney
Melissa
Last couple of reminders - If you are in charge of speakers, get that underway this week. Arrange a person and one of our meeting days and times; let me know this meeting day and time as soon as you set it up (remember to consider fall break, exam time, etc. - things that might cause people not to be able to attend).
Courtney is working on the shirt. We hope to have this up and going this coming Monday. As soon as we get all of the facts for it you will be sent out another posting on here. Please make sure you check this site this weekend and Monday. We hope to have more news coming this weekend.
Go ahead and be thinking about a soup sale or some kind of other sale. We could possibly do this right before Thanksgiving or after.

Besides all of that, EVERYONE have a GREAT weekend. Thanks for all of the help. We will try and meet everyone's schedules but please know that it is not always possibly. Daniel, Melissa, and myself are very pleased with the attendance and desire to get things under way this year. Thanks again! Have a great day.
