Insert non-formatted text here THINK BIG !!!

Welcome back to scratchpad! For our March event, I called to reserve SSB 375, but it was already reserved. We would like to find somewhere that would be free. Pease brainstorm ideas and call around on campus to see if there are places that would be available that are free. The event will take place Thursday MArch 27th from 6:30-8:30pm. IF you find a place that you think would be good, just let me know and I'll reserve it. So just get some ideas, thanks! Thanks, Cristina

Thanks for all your help over the weekend...Katie and I really appreciate all your hard work over the past month and a half to make the SVC Holiday Helper Program another great event!!
 * EVERYONE***

We worked on all the thank yous for parties, volunteers, wrapping parties, helpers, etc. Chris...during your office hours on Tuesday, could you put the certificates in the GREEK Mailboxes across the street in SSB?

Thanks again~ Katie and Kelly

Katie & Kelly: I have left a sheet on the SVC desk with tasks to work on during work hours this week.

Ladies..FYI I will be out tomorrow, so I will see you all Wednesday!!

Hello All! Gifts are coming in like crazy! I know kelly has a car full when she comes to work, so whomever is in the office, it would be great to help her carry them in! The agenda is almost complete. We will be sending volunteers and coordinators the agenda, waivers, and information wednesday at the latest. There are some gifts behind the desk by the wall, make sure those stay there BSU is bringing in more to add to those.

KELLY-- please create a list of supplies we need for the parties for harriett to go shopping! :)

WE ALL NEED TO STALK PEOPLE WHO HAVENT BROUGHT IN THEIR GIFTS... I know sabrina and harriett worked on that last week, but there still might be some more forgetful people out there!

Hi Ladies! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Great job on everything with december, seems like things are going great! :)

ALL KIDS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!! YES!!! WE ARE WORKING ON CALLING THE PEOPLE AND TELLING THEM TO BRING IN THEIR GIFTS- KELLY--WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT ALL THE LOGISTICS,LIKE ALL OF THEM... SOON. I'M WORKING ON SOME OF THAT TODAY, AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN EITHER FINISH, OR HELP TOMORROW WITH THAT.

The Yellow sheet (western ave.) still needs to be called. If other peopole come in we can refer them to wrapping parties, holiday parties and donating the list posted on the board. :) Thans-chris

Katie: today Avanti's called. If we still need pizza they are willing to donate. We would need to fax a written request (fax: 454-2668) and attention it to Martha. -Chris

Katie and Kelly-catholic charities called to answer your questions. She was confused because she has the party starting at 1:30p.m. I told her to call you tomorrow (thursday) between 10 and 11. Her cell is 531-1293. -Chris

Everyone For Thursday, please start calling the people who adopted kids but did not get the gift into us yet. The spreadsheets with the names and emails/phone numbers are in the binder and are up to date. Please call the people who are NOT highlighted *instructions are on the desk* Thanks!!

I called B&GC and we can start setting up as early as Friday afternoon if need be. But otherwise she will be in there at 8:30 am on Saturday. I left a message with Iris..she should be calling back this afternoon. I will go to the meeting tonight and hopefully get a couple more kids adopted. I also sent an email to my sorority about the wrapping parties and actual parties...so I hope I will get some more people. The parties agenda/material things look good...we will chat about making an intinerary for Saturday-lets do it together. I have my first final tomorrow afternoon in my noon class so I won't be in my hours tomorrow Let me know if you need anything else. Lets send an email or call the people about the gifts...I will make calls whenever necessary...I will come in on Friday and make calls if need be! You just let me know if you get through all of them or not?

Kelly

Kelly--- We don't need any more pizzas, or food donated... we are all set! I met w/ C.C. last night and got their party plans, they're ok. Please look over them, they are in my h.h. binder, if you have any problems email them or something. B&G I met with Ariela, and I told her all the stuff we talked about... she understands what we want/need. I'll give ya details some other time. I also have ally & abbys plans and what they need. I would say we need to work on putting together a list for Harriett & whomever, is going shopping(maybe in our office hrs. together)Harriett would like this list asap! I left you a lengthy note about our meeting this morning... sorry. just check it out. I'm getting a little nervous, not a lot of gifts are in, and all the kids aren't adopted... YIKES! We have gift cards from Wal-mart & Kroger, I am picking up the Wal-mart one today after work...Any questions call me woman! have a nice day, hopefully i'll see ya tonight:)


 * if people bring in wrapping paper please store it in Harriett's office*

Everyone: 25 Kids left!!! We have a little system going for gift collection-please collect the gifts, and put them in the appropriate rooms, and highlight the name off the list when you have received the present. Room Locations:

Catholic Charities goes into the Grad Office *cards are pink, purple and blue*

Western Ave: Goes in Harriett's Office *cards are yellow*

B&GC: Yvonne's Office *cards are blue*

Katie: I called Laura about the stuff and she has the supplies that were asked for...so that is taken care of. Can you call Avanti's about the pizzas?-I called but he wasn't in yet. Talk to Rich. Sabrina said we actually have 24 pizzas already for Catholic Charities, so if we don't get a hold of Avanti's its okay, and if we do thats great! And those meetings we had on the board...we should try and go to the Wednesday night one...cause it is for NPHC which is not a part of Panhel. Let me know what you think.

---Kelly---

Hi Ladies! FYI Judy is out for the day, so please answer any incoming calls, approach students who walk in, etc, all of which you know already...thanks :)

Katie: I called Avanti's and left a message with Rich...he is the man we need to speak with. I think the notes look good, we can talk tomorrow about the specifics but I looked them over and it sounded good. As for volunteers... I am going to talk to a Frat on Sunday about volunteering at the wrapping parties or the actually event on Sunday so I will hope to get some guys to be there. See ya tomorrow to hash this stuff out!! ---Kelly---

The meetings on the board are ones that were suggested for us to go speak to. Sorry it was unclear. I hope everyone has their radios tuned to 100.7 this holiday season. You wont be sorry. :)-Chrisssss

11-26-- I hope everyone had a great break, and found some time to relax a little! Kelly-- We do have 3 pizzas donated from Pizza Hut. YAH! We still need about 10 pizzas, we could work with only 8. I emailed the Student Coordinators reminding them about the meetings this week. I emailed C.C. group for their party plans and supplies. I recieved abby and al's supply list, but they need to create some sort of a plan, so I emailed them back asking for them to do that. I am goign to work on donations today... I also will look over the B&G party, and I'll make notes, if you want to check over it and we can talk to them at whichever meeting they show up at! We need food for the wrapping parties... what should we have? cookies/drank? i dont know, think about it let someone know what we need... Also everyone would like us to have a general meeting about holiday helper, like that week before, so everyone is clear on what they are doing that day (office people) Domino's donated 10 pizzas!! they will deliver to western ave. I'm thinking C.C. has 8 pizzas from monical's... should we give them more, like the pizza hut pizzas, i dont know... if so we need to change pick up times for the pizzas, all the info. is in the binder, under notes! I also tried to think of some stuff we are going to need to address in our meetings w/ the coordinators, if you can think of anything else add it in please:)

EVERYONE--We have 29 kids left in C.C. So let your friends know, lets get these kids adopted!:)

CHRIS-- The meetings on the dry erase board... are we supposed to go? or are we supposed call? I'm not sure, please let us know :)

11-15: Chris: Please begin wrap up for all the November events. I have completed the evaluations, so I think really the only thing to do is thank you cards and if you would like, certificates. If there is anything you have that would be good to include in the transition binder please forward that to me. thanks, Cristina

I have complete the evals for the first 2 November events. I'm working on last night's event.

11-14: There are two kids from the Western Avenue Party that I need to call on tomorrow because there is nothing really listed for their NEEDS so it might be hard to shop for them. I made calls to some of the companies for pizzas and got atleast 3 more donated for now. I was redirected when I called one of the Pizza Huts to the corporate office (I think) and so I called and she told me to fax a letter so I did and we are waiting on a response from her. Great Job everyone-we are down to roughly about 50 names left to be adopted!! I am going to Panhel tonight and so maybe some of the sororities will take on more than just the 2 they were going to. ---Kelly---

11-14--I received a gift today for a child, for now I have it in my drawer and tomorrow during our staff meeting we can talk about where we want to put them.

I have left the sheet that indicates other places on-campus to hang flyers, so please get them up asap. Have a great afternoon everyone!

11/14--All of our Donuts are donated:) We still need pizzas donated. Kelly there are instructions on the desk. We still need to hang flyers, Im not sure where, but the Bone & SSB has been done. As for tonight's event, I'm still a little confused regarding the time and all that but chris will be in today and I will ask her, also I spoke w/ Karen from Clare House and she will try to give a orientation, she also mentioned we will probably finish early, we may not even be there an hour.

11/14: Just a reminder that we have a staff meeting tomorrow at 8am, bright and early!

Great job on getting the pizzas!! Keep up the great work!

11/13--Cristina-- the waviers were emailed, i think (by chris) and should have been emailed the times and all that info. I am not sure how many volunteers there are, i assumed about 20 to 30. the reflection & evaluations are done. I emailed you with other info.

Catholic Charities is good to go for adopting! Kelly your note is on the desk. we have 24 pizzas from monicals for c.c.!!! :)

-katie 11-13: Hey everyone we are still in need of people to adopt the kids, so please keep recruiting people to come in and get them. If you can try and work from the Boys & Girls Club and Western Avenue agencies so then we have those parties completely taken care of. And we can start working from the Catholic Charities if need be...but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep them in alphabetical order and make sure you are getting their information and signing off on the white sheet. Thanks! ---Kelly---

11-13: Katie: I worked on as many cards as I could-I am sorry I didn’t finish them all but we actually ran out of cards so I had to go and get more printed. That is why some of them are purple for Catholic Charities because we ran out of pink paper.

If you have time can you hang those flyers-if not I will do it tomorrow.

And can you call the companies about donations/if it doesn’t get done I will tomorrow.

Iris did not call back yet, so if you want we can try her again but when I called she was in a meeting one time and at lunch another time.

Tomorrow I will send out an email to the student coordinators about getting their party agenda/supplies in to us. I will also include in there about the meeting times for the week after break.

I can go with you tomorrow just let me know what time and where I need to be. And also we will be getting another email from the PanHel about whether or not we are going to be going to that.

SORRY ITS SOO LONG! Bye Kelly

11-13: Katie and Sabrina can you please send me an email with nov service splash updates before you leave today that way I can share the information with Harriett in the morning and get her updated (please provide an estimate of how many ppl you think will be volunteers). If you haven't already, please make sure that the volunteers know the meeting time and place and that they have been emailed waivers.FYI I will be at a meeting tomorrow from 10:45-noon when you both are working.

11-12: KATIE and Sabrina, I emailed the Black Diamonds and asked them to send a contact list of the people they are bringing on Wednesday. Be on the lookout for that. Also, NOIR Dance Troup brought in a list. I left it on the desk. The waivers and discussion questions are also on the desk. I emailed Lee to see if his frat will be volunteering on Wednesday. He should be getting back to me tomorrow. Let me know if you need anything else!-Chris

11-12: I stuffed the boxes with the flyers, I am going to go tomorrow and hang them in the buildings. I was working on assigning kids to my sorority so we took 21 from Western Ave so that agency has a minimal number left :)~ and then I will call more of the places tomorrow for donations. ---Kelly---

11-12 EVERYONE--Harriett & Cristina will be gone til Wednesday. Any questions see Yvonne. Chris-- I was not sure where to start for Nov. stuff for this week. I will talk to you in the office, but let me know anything I need to do on Tuesday, and I will be happy to help. Sabrina also needs to be filled in, she didnt come to work today. Kelly-- I stuck the accomodations stickers to the flyers. I am also writing out Catholic Charities cards. If you could call the places we sent donation letters and follow up with them, also put flyers in rso mailboxes, and whatever else needs to get done. HAVE A NICE DAY FOLKS!!!

11-8 Kelly, I know that Katie, Sabrina and Chris will be working on Nov. stuff so this may be a task for you on MOnday(unless someone else has time).Harriett is taking the HH flyers to Kinkos and so they should be in the office on MOnday. I couldn't unfornately make changes to the flyer, so they are as is. ALso, I couldnt add the special accomdations thingy, so we will have to print labels. I have sent an email to the SVC on further instructions on labels. The label paper will be in the SVC shelf. PLease hang holiday helper flyer up. Thanks!

11-8 Kelly/Everyone-- Please do not mess with Catholic Charities or hand out those kids. We have 91 kids in CC. 45 in B&G and 47 in W.A. WoW! I did not write out the cards/ ill explain later. so dont do those... Have a nice weekend folks.

11-8 Hello everyone!! FYI I will be out of the office on Monday. For next week: kelly and katie please do follow-up phone calls with the businesses you sent letters to. If they say they didn't receive the letter feel free to fax the letter to them or email it to them.

11-8 Hey everyone we have sign ups on the desk for people interested in doing something to help the Holiday Helper program other than adopting a child. Sign ups for the actual wrapping parties are on the desk along with volunteer opportunities for the actual party. All the Catholic Charities forms are in so all of the agencies are open to be adopted. Thanks for all your help! Kelly and Katie

11-7 Please email cekurze@ilstu.edu with information on how she can get involved in Holiday Helper but not sponsering a child. (other options). This Saturday we are going to compassion center with Phi Kappa Si. Im excited!

11-7 Kelly-- Panhel would like us to come and speak, at their meetings. They are wednesday nights at 9 p.m. and when we come and talk they would like us to do it at 9, and we need to let them know beforehand. I think we should do it next week, and I will email infinity and let her know, let me know if this is a problem. Also there were some kids adopted, and we do not know which kids were adopted nor do we have contact info, all we know is they were from catholic charities, i have the names of the people whom supposedly adopted them and i emailed them asking which kids they took. my meeting w/ the folks last night went well it was the catholic charities group, and they started planning their party already.-katie

Chris-- another rso is interested in nov. 14th, she said she could possibly have lots of people, i told her to get back to us asap.-katie

11-7 Kelly thanks for letting me know...I went ahead and deleted text, so we should be good for now.

Everyone: I had a meeting with Harriett today, and I will share this information with you tomorrow (unless I finish the listserv early today).

Chris: Tomorrow, thursday, at 1 pm when you come in we will talk about logistics for Nov. 10 and Nov. 14 events. Please send out the waivers to the Nov. 10 participants today, and I will send you the waivers for the 14th tomorrow. Thank you.

11-6:Cristina-We need to delete some of the text in here cause it didn't let me write this stuff at first and it says we are almost reaching our limit of space or something? --Kelly--

11-6: The donation letters were done today and sent out. I had an interview with the Daily Vidette and TV 10 about Holiday Helper. Thank yous are going out to the helpers from ToT. We still don't have all of Catholic Charities forms, we should be getting them later today, or sometime tomorrow, I called and talked to IRIS about it so please stay clear of letting that agency be adopted from for now until we know any different! We have the rest of the Boys and Girls Club forms so please write out the cards for the adopters!

Thanks---Kelly---

EVERYONE--- Holiday Helper Gift Adoption is set up and in the 3rd drawer of the desk. the directions are on the front. any questions, just ask. do not use the catholic charities kids yet. we will let you know when, thanks:)

Kelly--- Catholic Charities is bringing in the rest of their kids today after 2 p.m. maybe get that all set up in the binder if you have time?? Boys & girls club would like us to pick up the rest of their kids, I told them today or tomorrow, I can go tomorrow so I can just do that. The donation letter is complete along with the addressed labels. Please just sign all the donation letters and stuff them and give them to harriett to send out. At 3:30 Stephanie from the Vidette will be calling you to talk about holiday helper, phone interview. Four kids were takin out of the catholic charities and adopted w/o cards. their names are separate and we know who adopted them so we need to get their information, they filled out their own cards and we just need their contact info and to just remember they adopted them. any questions, call me. otherwise I will talk to you later. i also want to know about meeting w/ the student coordinators and what we are saying to them i know we already talked about it, but if there is anything else let me know:) Also with the h.h. flyers if we want any changes or we can print them four to page for rso flyers whatever, think about it and tell cristina.
