STOMP Fundraisers are April 22 and 24!

Big news: STOMP is hosting two fundraisers next Wednesday and Friday, April 22 and 24, 2009, by the Rock next to the Auditorium on Farm Lane on the MSU campus. STOMPers will be out from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, selling t-shirts and two styles of patches and spreading the word about STOMP and malaria prevention. T-shirts are $10 and patches are $2 to $3.

On April 22, we'll be partnering with the Eco Students for Sustainability group and we'll have a conveyor belt game that involves chocolate chip cookies. On April 24, STOMPers will be flying solo at a table near the Rock, but will still have t-shirts and patches for sale.

Stop by, say hi, buy a shirt and support the cause.

Here are the April 13, 2009 meeting minutes:

Attending: Aaron, Derek, Danielle, Ange, Levi, Sarah, Sara, Brittney, Ross

• Introduction for new members
• Fundraisers at the Rock on April 22 and April 24
• Next meeting is April 27, 2009 at 7 p.m. in North Kedzie
  

Next Meeting: April 13

Since we had to cancel the last meeting, we're planning on having a STOMP meeting next Monday, April 13, at 7 p.m. in 306 North Kedzie.

We need to go over and finalize all the details for our t-shirts sale (coming up in less than two weeks!) so we can raise some money to save some lives!

I hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend! It is supposed to be nice and sunny!
