Sept. 18 Meeting Notes

STOMPers:

I hope everyone had a great weekend...I know I did (in the library!!).

Here are the minutes from our meeting last Thursday.

Things to Do:

• Save lives.
• Get some pamphlets developed explaining about malaria and the goals of STOMP.
• Arrange another tabling day -- possibly during a football game. I'm sending an e-mail out to the appropriate people (thank you Rachel) concerning getting a table during a football game. We should also think about having a table in front of the Rock on another day.
• T-shirt Design. Have Gabe set up a competition with his classes to design a t-shirt logo for us. Everyone who submits an entry gets 5 points extra credit. The winning designer also gets a free t-shirt and a free lunch with Gabe.
• Get another banner made that doesn't say "National Awareness Day" on it so that we can use it year round.
• Get the Stephen Colbert picture of him holding up a "Buzzkill" t- shirt blown up into a poster or something of the sort.
• Rachel is taking care of the window display in Nat. Sci. (thanks again Rachel).
• Possible mosquito costume??
• See if we can get registered for Autumnfest. I'm sending out an e- mail to the appropriate person for this (Rachel, just assume I'm going to say thank you for everything).
• And last, but certainly not least, iVote. Thanks to Ashley who went to the meeting, STOMP is scheduled to be a part the iVote Concert that is this Thursday, Sept. 25. I'm attaching all of the information that Ashley sent me below so that nothing gets lost in translation. The only thing that has come up is that instead of us being allowed to have 10 people at our table, we're only allowed to have 4. However, they still are going to give us 6 extra concert tickets so that 10 of us in total can get in. I had to give 4 names to the guy for security purposes so I gave my name, Gabe, Derek, and Danielle Donovan (Ashley I figured that you signed up with your other group). The rest of the people that expressed interest in going (Greg, Levi, Rachel, Danielle Pombier and hubby) there will for sure be tickets for you. I think the guy was just nervous about it getting too crowded around the tables. If any of the 4 people that I put down are a little unsure about going, I can switch your name with someone else and simply get a ticket for you. Just let me know.
  

Thats about all for now. Also, plan on having another meeting Oct. 1, same time same place (4:30 p.m. in 244 Nat Sci). This seemed to work out well for most people.

Thank you to everyone.

We're doing some really cool things that are going to help a lot of people that really need it. It's going to take a lot of effort, but it's really awesome to be a part of something so beautiful.

Talk to you all later.

-Aaron

P.S. Try to bring someone new to our meeting on the 1st

Here are the 2 e-mails from Ashley:

iVote is taking place on Thursday September 25,2008 set up begins at 4 and continues until 5:30 (doors open at 6) each group will get two platform badges and 8 tickets (a total of ten for each) we will come in through the ticket office, parking is yet to be worked out by ASMSU and the Breslin Center As I understand it, however each member needs a MSU ID to get into the Breslin. (Skye- I don't think Michael and Brandon will be allowed in)

It's best that everyone arrives together, but not imparative if people come later someone has to meet them outside to give them a ticket to get in.

• 4 people working each table at a time
• you cannot sell t-shirts (sorry Aaron!) and you also can't raffle
