Heeeeeey studs, SO i have been working some more on my event (so exciting, ok i will stop saying that but everyday it seems like it is making more and more sense!!!) I made a flyer to start getting the word out to campus. It is on the bulitin board, please look at it and be critical. Does anyone know of any good/easy ways i can advertise this event? ALSO, Nicole, did you ever find out what that fabric was called? let me know. The thing i need the most help with right now is contacting places that would be willing to donate supplies and also stores that will let us have volunteers stand outside collecting donations. Other then that spread the word to all of your oprganizations and try and get people interested. The more blankets we get made, the more warmth we will be able to help spread :).

see you all soon (hopefully)

Chris

10/2/2006 Hey guys, I have printed out and put up a sign up on the table next to the door. Feel free to have people sign up there and I can transfer it to the computer after. Also, thanks to Dana for putting together group packets. They are in the mail slot on top and for anyone who wants to put their own team together. I'm still in begining stages so still looking things up, etc. Have a wonderful day everyone! - Sabrina

9/28/06 Hey guys, today I typed up an office protocol when it comes to taking names for Trick-or-Treat event. I saved it on the desktop so it's easy to find. Other than that, just worked on the list serve and more things for my event. Also, we have secured the Old Main for the event. yeah! Aurora - Connie did not come in today, maybe we can try again next week??

Sabrina- There is a message on the machine for you from the room scheduling office for the date of 10/31/06 the number 438-2222 Dana

Dana-Kristen Scott from the Athletics Department called about having Reggie at the holiday helper parties. I told her the date and perspective times. She can be reached at 83630. - Aurora

Hellooo All... Note for:

Chris: I forgot to mention this idea today when I saw you. What are you feelings on asking the agencies that we work with to make a blanket? ie. Habitat for Humanity, etc. And did you hear back from Project OZ? Let me know, have a great night!

Aurora: I hope you are feeling better:/ Let me know when you have updated the School Supply list so I can send that off to Clinton Brown. Thanks!

ALL: If you haven't noticed already, there are now little mail box thingers for each of you on the SVC desk. And we are still working on getting the list serv up and running. Make sure someone has started to make up one for this week so I can send it out on Friday. Thanks ladies! Keep up the great work:) ~Nicole

9/27/06 Hey Guys, all I have to report is that I am working on e-mails and publicity for Greek and RSO's. I hope to meet with Erin and Chrysalis tomorrow afternoon to talk about getting these out to the right people. Hopefully next week I will begin getting times that we can go and ask for volunteers. I'll keep you updated! -Sabrina

9/27/06 HEEEEEEEEEEEEYO,

Sabrina: Since I don't have office hours ever with you can you make up a little thing saying what to do it there is an email/person coming in asking about your event. I have just been forwarding it to you but i feel like i can do more. Dana: when you are in today,

Pat Morland called from western ave. HE said that you should call Mike Donnelly at 829-4807

9/26/06 Hey guys, I sent out an e-mail to those who have already signed up so that we can get all of the information needed. I have added the t-shirt size and vehicle column. Please be sure and ask for those when someone comes in to sign up. The vehicle is a yes or no answer (they have to be willing to drive that night to say yes) Thanks! I am also working on RSO e-mails and other things for publicity.

Nicole, just so you know...Aurora called in at 2:35 today stating that she really wasn't feeling well and wasn't coming in today. I told her I would post it here for you. -Sabrina

9/26/06 Sabrina,

You have some more interest in Tick or TREAT! (amazing) Please contact Katie Kirza, knkorza@ilstu.edu.

9/25I contacted Brennan Palmer with the LinC contact persons info and updated the school supply list. Sabrina- I would assume that Kate Schenk could have been the contact person for the list serv. If it wasnt Kate it could have been Saakshi Arora the GA from last year. That is all I know! I wish I could help more! - Aurora

9/25/06 Hello all. I just wanted to let you know that CATS is still working on the list serve. If you have any information about the person who used to control the list serve please forward it to CATS. Also, Chris took contact information from a grad student who is looking for volunteer work (the contact for the Link classes). I do not know who that contact person is. Also, soon I hope to have an e-mail out to all of the RSO's about coming to their meetings and asking for volunteers for Trick or Treat for change. Once those times come in I will have a sign up so that if you have time, you can get some extra hours and go make a short presentation?? More information will come but just so you know. Please let me know what you think of the idea. Have a good day! -Sabrina

25 September 2006

Hope you all had a great weekend. Quick note for...

Aurora- the ShareFest list needs to be updated. I thought I had the electronic version in my email box, but apparently not. I left the old printout on the desk with the changes that need to be made.

Sabrina- Talk to Yvonne about the status of the permits for Trick or Treat for Change. I'll try to catch up with her before I leave for the day.

Dana- How is the transition binder coming along for Service Fair? Also, have you made a timeline for Holiday Helper and/or are you following the one you found?

Chris- hi:) I saw you this morning.

9/25/06 Happy Monday: TO DO for today... Brennan Palmer(bnpalme@ilstu.edu) came in and talked to one of us about wanting to vounteer with freshman. He is a grad student and needs to do some type of volunteer work with freshman here. I was looking for the information for the LINK program and didn't know where to find it. Someone needs to contact him TODAY with their contact information so he knows where to start. Also, the listerve is still sick. Contact Cats and have them perform surgery. Have a great day ladies. Chris

22 September 2006

QUICK NOTE: I am so happy you all are taking advantage of the scratchpad! Annnd everyone seems to be working hard on their respective projects. My only request is that we make sure to keep dating when you post so that things stay organized. Thanks, have a great weekend!! ~Nicole

9/21/06 Love it Chris. I have a 9am meeting for coffee at Brewsters in the Bone with Kristie and Katherine who both hosted a party for Holiday Helper Last year and want to help again! Im so excited that they want to help and they they acually have experience cause they did it last year!!!! Dana  9/21/06 Chris! Your plan for November is amazing! When is all starts rolling please let me know any way I can help!- Aurora

9/21/06 HEY SVC STUDS! My event is really starting to get exciting! I have a good idea of what i want to do. I saved a document to the desktop named "Service Rules" Please take a look at it so you all can get an idea as to how i want the event to look like. The document is a rough draft and it was just so i could sort out my thoughts so if you have any ideas i would love to hear them! GO TEAM. -Chris

Hey girls! WE NOW HAVE A PRINTER!!! And there is a way we can color print if we need to!!! It is located in the SGA office in the room behind the front desk. Before you print make sure you go back there and make sure the computor and printer are in fact on. Then print your work. So thats exciting! SVC Love, Dana

HEY TEAM, I labled the envelopes. Some of the businesses were closed so they need to be followed up on. I also added the names of the managers to the excel sheet of pizza places for future reference.

Sabrina, there is a email for you in the INBOX that you need to be sure to check.

Holla Chris

TO DO 9/20/06: There is a document saved to the desktop titled Pizza Donations. I need help addressing all of the evevelopes on the desk to these stores. Please call the business and find out the managers name. Please use black ink. I will add the letters soon! Thanks for your help! Aurora

9/19/06 Dana- Katie & Kelly who helped with the holiday helper parties last year came into the office today. They would like to help with the parties again and work together. Here are their emails: keryan@ilstu.edu & kmbols@ilstu.edu Sabrina- I like the idea behind the shirts but I think that we should be promoting the SVC a little more. I like the second design but maybe have a playful font? Aurora

9/19/06 Still working on the tranision binder. I have never made a good one of these before so if anyone knows how please let me know. Other than that I organized the black cabinet in the back but i didnt know what to do with everything so if any one has any ideas about how we can utilize that better let us hear it. Lastly, there is a 3 month calender on the wall back there so i wrote on it so we can at least use the things that we have! Dana

9/18/06 Hi there, Thank you Nicole and Chris for making the bags of popcorn. They were very cute! Everything for ShareFest is winding down, but we still have to try and get pizza donated for the pizza parties. I should get DOS stationary soon and then I will need help addressing enevelopes for all of the businesses. Ill let you know as soon as I get that stationary. Sabrina- I have a GOOD contact for your shirts. His name is Tom and he just made shirts for me for pretty cheap. His website is uneedshirts.com. He is here in town and he is super nice. If you want me to call him for an estimate let me know. I didnt see the t shirt designs on the desktop. I also made a sign up for your event. Someone came in today who was interested in participating. I wasnt able to print it up, but it is saved on the desktop. You probably want to leave a printed copy in the office so that random people who walk in can sign up.( That is what we have done before) Nicole- Thanks for looking at the letter and making improvements! Yvone said I should ask you for stationary. If you do not have any she told me where I can find some in her office. Hi Chris & Dana! See everyone tomorrow! Aurora

9/18/06 Hey guys ... I am currently in the position of still learning about all that my event entails and things of that sort so I will let you all know as soon as I can about things that you can help me with. Also, this afternoon Nicole sent out the listserv a different way and it seems to have worked due to the responses in the inbox. There are some who just send in saying that they did not receive last weeks e-mail. You can just delete those messages.

Also, I checked the mail immediately following that and there were quite a few addresses that did not work. I went through EVERY ONE of them to find out why. Some I do not know. I have saved the list I worked with on the desktop for Nicole to see and for someone to help me. I believe that the ones in the begining (that I have in red) have graduated. Will someone show me how to delete an individual or delete them from the listserv for me? Also I know at least one person responded requesting to be taken off the listserv. FYI, on that list there are some addresses in green. These are addresses that I have fixed and edited in the database. I will resend the e-mail to those people. Thanks!

Also, I have also saved a document on the desktop with t-shirt designs. I am working on coming up with shirts to give away at my event. I would like your input on changes or how they look. Also, Dana, I heard you have a contact for getting t-shirts. If there is anyway you can give that to me I would appreciate it so that I can start calling around. Thanks!

That's it... I hope you all had a good weekend! - Sabrina

18 Monday 2006 Hola Chicas-

Dana- Good work getting the binder started. It would be great if as people finish there event they could compile what they used and what they did in the binder for the next person.

Aurora- Chris and I finished making little popcorn favors for ALL of the lifestyle floor. We have extra popcorn and bags if you wanted to make more for the rest of the participants. The popcorn is in the office- let me know! Also, Aurora, there is mail for you on my desk (on my keyboard) and the two thank you post cards for ShareFest. I don't know there last names, so I just put "Mike" and "Kevin". If you think that is too informal, let me know.

Sabrina- let us know what you need us to do for Trick-or Treat for Change. Do you have questions? Do you need signs made? Flyers? How can we help you!?!? :)

Chris- Hi. I didn't want you to feel left out:)

To Do: 1) Help Sabrina in any way she needs. 2) I bumped into this woman at the market on Saturday and we got to talking. She wanted to know if we could sponsor an event in the spring. I need someone to find as much info as we can on an organization called Recycling for Families. Her idea was to have all of the stuff left for trash (microwaves, tables,etc) at the end of the year would be collected and donated to this org. Let me know what you find. (A good first step would be to find contact info for them). Thanks!

~Nicole

09/16/06 Hi Ladies, Just making sure this works. I would be happy to send a thank you to ALL of the participants from last weekend. Do you think this is something we will continue to do with all of our service splash volunteers? What do you guys think? See you Monday! Aurora

09/15/06 Hi Ladies, Just making sure I know how this works! So, I started a transition binder for the office right now I am working on putting all my information from Service Fair in there. As soon as I am done I will give it to Aurora and you can do Sharefest, etc. This binder will be a great help for the next year workers! Dana

13 Wednesday 2006

TO DO:

-"Thank You" cards/letters also need to be made up for OfficeMax and Office Depot ASAP.

Aurora-- Yvonne wants to send a little "thank you" package to the Lifestyle floor as a nice gesture. I suggested maybe Chicago style popcorn bags (small ones) with "thank you" notes attached. I'll let you know the details, but wanted to give you the heads-up.

Have a great day everyone! Happy posting:) ~Nicole
