April 15, 2009 Meeting

Hey there everyone. -- Long post so read through it!

We're still unsure about the permits for Take Back the Night so STOP sending out e-mails to people inviting them to the event...

A few people are heading up to Columbia's Take Back the Night TONIGHT to see what theirs looks like, check out what we could possibly do for ours, and to support Columbia in their efforts! You can meet Julie outside of Kimmel at 8pm TONIGHT to make the trek uptown.

We only have TWO meetings left! :(
We'll be discussing some important things. Next week we'll be going over what was effective this year and what was not, what we want to do next year, etc. So please come and tell us how you think things are/were/will be! This is a club that relies on the input of its members! We will also be having a movie night during our last meeting. We're going to try to have a get together outside of the meetings and we'll keep people posted on that.

We're also going to be having elections! Either e-mail Julie or bring something to her at next week's meeting if you would like to nominate yourself or someone else for a position. Our positions are President, Vice President, Secretary/Webmadam, and Treasurer. We have a few different committees as well if people want to keep those alive and well. Don't feel obligated to nominate yourself and don't be afraid not to!

RELAY FOR LIFE: This saturday at COLES!!!! We're in the process of getting things set up for that. But show up by 6pm so that we can participate in the team lap at 6:30. If you're available, come earlier around 5pm to help Julie set up the table, etc. If nothing else, be there for the Luminaria ceremony at 9pm. That's always a very powerful and motivating event. Bring CASH because there are no ATMs at Coles. You are allowed to leave and come back until midnight. After that you are not allowed into Coles until 6am.

The Student Health Center is doing the "Clothesline Project" during which they're going to be making and hanging up t-shirts which express peoples' experiences and feelings about sexual violence. There's a t-shirt "party", if you will, tonight at Weinstein and there's one tomorrow (AKA FRIDAY) at the Student Health Center from 12:30-1:30, which will be hosted by our very own Nicole! Go check it out if you're available.

Next week is Earth Day (Wednesday) where there's going to be a huge vegan sandwhich--not sure where but keep an eye out. Also keep an eye out for the Bare Energy Frolick. ;)

The Activists Network is holding a Socially Responsible Investment Committee meeting next week after the normal NOW-NYU meeting time. It's at 8:30pm and I believe it's in Kimmel. E-mail Julie to find out the location.

I believe that's all for now! Hope to see you at some of these awesome events and to get your input on how things have been going this year!

xo,
Sarah
