'27 March 2007' Hello Girlies of SVC: We have been kicking butt with all of this AIDStock stuff-way to go, Keep it up! We have some stuff that needs to be getting done within today/tomorrow. So here is that stuff:

-Add questions you would anticipate the restaurants would ask to our info sheet. -Ask questions about AIDS and make sure we are informed about it. -Anything else that would be helpful or things that the places would want to know make sure we have answers before we start calling!


 * The Info Sheet is on the DESKTOP*

...We are going to try and get that info sheet done today *Tuesday* and then we will call restaurants tomorrow-keep up the good work!

26 March 2007  TO DO for April:

-	Get approval from housing?

Dining In:

-	Get more info on program itself- print out a “about this fundraiser” sheet.

-	Create a FAQ sheet for restaurants. (things they might ask about the program)

o	Date we are trying for is April 26th (backup date is April 25th)

Volunteers Planning-

-	Create a poster (maybe ask MCATF if they have a sign or printing services)

WEDNESDAY: Hey guys, I talked with Jim from the G-spot and we have permission to have a table near them the week before and of our event. I am just waiting to hear back from Jason to finalize it. Also, I finally figured out the table tents/hand bills for the event. After we meet tomorrow we should have enough information to finish them up. :) See you all tonight! -Chris

I sent the banner to Yvonne. She was thinking of a vertical banner so she sent it out to get changed. Also please look at the documents in the folder April Ideas. I saved it under my name bc I didn't want it to get deleted. Basically I called The Force (Aids task force that it) and talked with a guy about what they NEED, and got a pretty strong response for food. I started leaving voice mails for people in Health Promotions to see if we can get on their toliett talk and they are booked through the summer. We can make a slide for campus connection and HP will put it up with theirs for free (this changes weekly). We can also provide them with a short script that they will read on T.V. ten, and we can call it in to WZND also for FREE. I left a message for Jason to reserve the Quad the week of the 19th. I still need more information on the event to make table tents (which I think would be a great idea) and any other PR. I started one using Publisher... it would just be the front of the table tent and the back would have the INFORMATION for AIDSSTOCK. If we do table tents they should go out the week before our event to start creating awareness. I was thinking we could tape condoms to these for added effect. And use the slogan "wrap your head around this..." and provide a scary statistic. (ok, wow... dirty but funny).

These are just some ideas... Please feel free to add to the list with your own and we should decide the first week after break what we want to do as far as service goes. I am getting excited!!!! -Chris

30 January 2007 Hello Girls, I called and talked to Kelly. She said that this is a busy week but if we would like to pre-order 100 cookies, we should do it soon. Also, if we ran out and needed more cookies ... it would take around 24hrs to get 50 cookies. She said that it takes a while to make and decorate, then they have to set prior to packaging them! I.E. 50 is the best she could do on a 24hrs turnaround time. Hope this helps ~Sabrina

Great job! Let's keep rollinggggggg :) Let's put our locations and dates on the flyers when they are finalized and get them printed. Let me know if you need help with printing.

THINGS TO BE DONE:

Can someone make sure to work on the coffee cup sleeves and figure out the size it needs to be. Don't forget the edges need to be on a slant.

24 January 2007  Today I worked on the flyer and cup sleeves for the event. I cant really finish unless i know more details. I also got a call from Donna from Watterson Towers and she dosent think that we can sit there because we would be in compition with Dinning services. She is going to call us back asap. See you tomorrow for the meeting. Dana Fogarty

March Event- YWCA
1 March 2007 Hello all, As far as March, the Women's Self Defense club is confirmed for coming and doing a presentation for us during the event. Other than that, just waiting to have the meeting with Harriett (which looks like it'll happen next week!) That's all for now! ~Sabrina

26 February 2007

I have started the March transitional binder information, also, I contacted the Women's Self Defense Club - hopefully they get back to me soon to say if they are onboard. Flyers are in the process of being completed but Kelly is going to work on them! (YEAH!) We need to find the YWCA logo to put on them. ~ Sabrina

Date of making the ribbons - March 22nd, 2007 in SSB 314... Yadira Ruiz from the YWCA will be in attendence to help make the ribbons. Also, we are hoping to have a brief period when we can all practice some self defense moves.

The tenative schedule is ... Schedule of Events 6:30 – 6:45 Welcome and educational 6:45 – 7:30 Demonstration by Self-Defense 7:30-9:00 Make Ribbons 9:00 Wrap up and thank you

After the actual event, we will be putting the ribbons up around the quad April 2nd (tenatively) and taking them down April 31st (also tentative right now).

There is a small to do list, but nothing really that NEEDS to be done now.

April Event-- AIDStock
March 26 2007

Today I worked on researching the "Dining out Program"... look at this website its great! http://www.diningoutforlife.com/flash.php

Here is info that is in the folder under "dining out" though we need to know on scratch pad....

Dining Out:

What it is: a national program that organizations working with the issue of HIV/AIDS put together. Restaurants in the community agree to donate a portion of their profit (25-100%) one night for the cause. Volunteers are needed at each restaurant to spread awareness and collect additional donations.

What we would need to do: start contacting local restaurants and see if this is something they are interested in. We would need to pick a date for the event and start recruiting students that would be interested in helping. Right now, all the students from the ASB trip are very interested in this project.

Questions:

What is our budget? Is this something the SVC can sponsor for our event? Would we still want to do a food drive? When would we want to have the event? Could we involve dinning services? How do we incorporate meaningful service into it? Would Aids Task Force work with us?

Love Dana

Update: Diversity Advocacy is doing HIV testing in April. I have a meeting with Kelly-Anne from DA on Monday to get them on board with us. We should hear back from UPB today about working with them too. Cool beans.

30 January 2007

When: Thursday, 19 April 2007

Where: Bowling and Billiard- activity room

Here is some more info on McLean County AIDS Task Force and the project.

McLean County AIDS Task Force (MCATF)

History : MCATF began in 1986 as an “agency representative” group with members from community groups dealing with HIV/AIDS. In 1988-1989, MCATF changed to an all-volunteer group so that it could begin offering client service such as “buddies” to people living with AIDS. Soon after that a hotline was added. Members would have calls forwarded to them at home during their shift of duty.

In the Fall of 1992, MCATF opened its present center in downtown Bloomington. Activities taking place in the center include trainings, meetings, and various prevention activities. In August 1997 MCATF began Connections Community Center.

'''What does MCATF do today? :''' Today’s MCATF is a multipurpose, all volunteer, community based, AIDS service organization. Education, service and advocacy are the cornerstones of all the work MCATF does. The primary service area includes McLean and Livingston Counties. Some activities take place in other central Illinois locations under prevention grant contracts awarded to MCATF.

MCATF is governed by its membership through the elected Board of Directors. Current standing committees include client services, information services, member services, and fund-raising.

Event Description: AIDStock The event will be a benefit concert for MCATF. The tentative plan is to hold the concert from about 6-10pm on 19 April 2007 at the Bowling and Billiards activity room. We are planning to have four to five local bands play (a variety of music- to be determined). As well as a mixture of smaller events while bands are setting up and breaking down their equipment. Ideas for this have included acapella groups, raffle drawing, and/ comedian. We are also planning on having some kind of educational bit about HIV/AIDS (a short bit) while thanking everyone for coming out. Food and drink are largely dependent on funds available. My apologies for the brief description, a lot of the details are yet to be determined. Groups collaborating with this project include the SVC, PRIDE, Diversity Advocacy (possibly making up their HIV testing bit that they didn’t get to do for World AIDS Day because of the snow), UPB, and the MCATF student outreach committee. *Note- last year the event was run on no budget and made about $700.
