The e board was considering have a couple hours set away for card making, and then leaving the materials around in the office for anyone who wouldn’t be able to attend.-The club that turns in the most cards wins a prize; ultimately we are only concerned with earning service points.-Food and Clothing Drive- collection of food and clothing for donation is already underway. There is a big box in the office, please feel free to clean out any cupboards or closets of things that you don’t think you’re going to use. The e board will also take money donations from people if they would like us to go purchase items on their behalf.-For this to count as Community service we must collect 10lbs of Clothes or 20lbs of food.-Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF- they’re two collection boxes on the desk, please feel free to bring in spare change, these donations go to fight starvation around the world. There is no limit on how much you have to collect, but I would be nice to actually have a decent amount of change in the boxes.-Woman’s Center Dress Drive- this is the second annual prom dress drive. You may help out by bringing in your old prom dresses for donation to under-privileged women that can’t afford to buy a prom dress.7:16 Fundraising-Follow up on the candy sale that was proposed last week. At BJ’s they have bags of 100 suckers for $6.50. If we would like to attach gay facts to them we will need some assistance from members in collecting, and then putting them together.

The e-board has decided that the organization will correspond with the individual, as long as communication remains respectful, and appropriate.7:20 Pot Luck Dinner-Discussed in brief at the last meeting, we are looking to host a pot luck dinner before Thanksgiving break.
