Next Meeting - Thursday, November 15

Hello all. Jessica's posting ability is being funky, so I'm typing up this post.
I know it was unannounced, but we are going to be having a meeting on Thursday, November 15 at 3:00. There will be food. Three weeks between our last meeting and our next one is just too long of a time period, especially seeing as how we have so much work to do.
Here's what needs to be done:

1. The determination of country and committee assignments.
If you can't come to the meeting tomorrow, please leave your country/committee preferences as a comment on this blog with your name clearly understandable in the comments section. There's a "comments" button at the end of this post where you can do so. We need to know this by Thursday at 3:00. Or find someone in the club that's going to the meeting and tell them what you prefer. Please limit your committee selections to only 2 or 3 maximum. Again, sorry for the late notice.

2. FUNDRAISING.
We've decided to go with trying to get sponsors and place them on the back of T-shirts. We've also decided to try and do a night at a restaurant where we get some of the earnings, like what choir did at Bennigan's. We need people to volunteer to contact different businesses. It would be best to meet with these businesses in person, and I think it would be more convincing if small groups went together and had a set of points they spoke on to receive sponsorships. Officers will probably head these groups, and talking points will be discussed, recorded and distributed. We are hoping to raise a lot of money quickly, so this will take a lot of cooperation between everyone. Thanksgiving Break would be a good time to be doing this.

3. Getting people involved.
We are down to crunch time. If you know people who would like to join, they need to join NOW. Remember, DEADLINE FOR $20 DEPOSIT IS DECEMBER 5. People need to really come to our meeting on Wednesday, November 28 if they can't make this one to learn about all the things we need to do and pick up forms for UMMUN. For those who cannot participate in the UMMUN conference, we are still optimistic for attending another conference this year. Keep checking the blog for more info.

4. Getting prepared.
I'm going to try and get a bunch of "workshops" arranged for when we return from break. It's vital that we start researching countries and committees as well as practicing UMMUN procedure and public speaking. Speaking can be daunting, but it would be great if everyone could get as much out of this as possible, and practice can help ease fears.

That's pretty much it, I think. I hope to see everyone at the meeting tomorrow or see posts in the comments section. Thanks everyone.
