27 October 2006 Hola chicas~ So we have alot going on; Trick-or-Treat on Tuesday, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week events soon after that, and a continuous preperation for Holiday Helper. I just wanted to say you all are doing a great job!! If you are feeling stressed, let me know!!! I might be able to pick up some of the work for you.

Also, a note on blanket stuff. Make sure when someone comes to pick up blanket materials you mark down on Chris's sheet who took it. We are missing some fleece that we assume were handed out, but we don't know. If you know anything about it, let Chris and/or I know. Asante sana!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

~Nicole

Hey Ladies, I was wondering if now that we have our schedules for next semester we could come up with oue work hours soon, Or you can post your avalibility here and we can work something out!

--Pasted above--

Happy Tuesday? What to do if someone comes into pick up their supplies for blankets. 1. Get their name let me know they came. 2. give them the manilla folder with their name on it. Ask them if they need scissors. If not take out the pair from the folder and we will give it to a group that needs a pair. 3. Hand them a "you made a difference" and "how to make the blanket" sheet. 4. Give them one red and one blue piece of fabric. (the fleece for the girl picking up 5 blankets is already set aside in the plastic bags.) 5. remind them to bring back the blanket and materials (scissors and fab. marker) by noon on November 3rd

Thanks everyone. And please if you have some free time don't hesitate to cut fleece! Chris

Happy Monday! If someone can get the safety pins in the tags for the blankets that would really help me a lot. People are going to start picking blankets up tomorrow. Also, if you have time to cut fleece that would help even more. Just unroll it and cut 2 yards length (leaving the width as is). I am meeting with the lovely Ashley Venneman to update our website with my events information so yay! I know we are busy with all three events coming up, but if you have some free time in the office dont hesitate to help get the supplies ready! Thanks ladies. Sabrina: Tom from Habitat called. his cell is 310-3399 Dana: Susan Witsit called 438-2008 (message was saved)

Have a great weekend girls! - Aurora

T-Shirt Order Amounts!- 52 Small 22 Medium 6 Large and 2 XL There are about 6 or 7 people eligible for shirts who didnt list sizes, they have all been emailed or called, so you may want to check for responses before you order!

10/16 Hello Girls! Chris- I teach tomorrow and Ill stick around to get information about who you need to contact for the clothing drive. I am not sure why Michelle Murphy or Gina Hotze from ESA has not contacted you to tell you how many blankets we want to make. I know its a bigger number, so if they havent contacted you by the time you read this feel free to drop them an email. Sabrina- the sames goes for you, Michelle assured me that you would have the sign ups last week. I dont know why they are slacking, but if you havent gotten a sign up by tomorrow then please email them and let them know how important it is. Her name is Michelle Murphy. Nicole- KDE and the School of Communication are picking exact dates to have their treats. I am trying to get it done next week so we can promote any events, especially holiday helper! Denny from Dennysdoughnuts and bakery is willing to give us 6 dozen doughnuts and 3 gallons of coffee and they will deliver it for $60! This really is a deal because the other places around town would be $75 or more plus delivery. Is this possible? Could is be considered a promtion cost?- I know thats a stretch. I wasnt sure if you wrote down the hours from last week, so I am leaving them up. Dana worked from 3 to 4:30 today and I worked from 3 to 5. Aurora

Hey there everyone,

Trick-or-Treat for Change is coming along wonderfully! Nicole we need to talk about t-shirts soon! We have around 90 people signed up right now. Yeah. Chris There is an e-mail in the inbox for you. I will also talk to SAC tonight about doing a blanket. I think they are interested. I will let you know. Also, tonight I will be going to the SAC meeting and Red Tassel Mortar Board to recruit for more volunteers. By the way, neither ASB or ESA have turned in a list of volunteers yet. These groups should put us right around our goal. Thanks for everyone's help!

Michael H. Poon [mhpoon@ilstu.edu]sent an e-mail to be added to the listserve. I added him to the database but I do not know how to add him to the listserve. Will someone help?? Thanks! -Sabrina

10/11 AURORA We should sit down and talk sometime about getting the word out to the schools. I haven't been having luck reaching schools that are able to do our event. I would love to work with Chiddix Jr. High (ESP. bc im middle school major-ing) SOOOOOO If you want to talk to some high-up people and see if they want to do this event. If you want more info on the even before you call let me know, or if you want me to call i can do that too. :) thanks stud. Sabrina I emailed you the list of people from your floor doing trick or treat.

10/10 Hi Girls! First of all I just wanted to say that you are all doing amazing! The difference in passion and commitment from last year is really obvious to me and I really enjoy working with you girls. :) Chris- I am currently observing and working with Chiddix Jr. High for classes and I would be happy to teach them ALL about Hunger and Homelessness!I also wanted to suggest Meijer and the Wal Mart on Market. When I was doing my event I found them to be much more organized, friendly and generous then the other Wal Mart.

I will not be in tomorrow, but please take a message and post if someone named Denny calls. THANKS! Aurora

10/10/06 - Hey guys ... I am going to go to the Kappa Delta Epsilon meeting tomorrow night to try and recruit for Trick-or-Treat for Change. I am also going to be going to the Red Tassel Morter Board meeting next monday to try and recruit additional volunteers. Please keep talking to all of your organizations. Thanks! - Sabrina

Tuesday News:

UPDATE ON HUNGER HOMELESS EVENT. We are trying to reach out to a few local elementary schools for the winter item drive. Volunteers will be able to go to classes and teach them about what hunger and homelessness is and kick off the drive. We will have the collection of items on campus during the week of hunger homelessness here and the one at the schools will be the following week (national hunger homeless awareness week). If you have a contact at a local school please let me know. ALSO, i think we are going to rock out on the 50 blankets made this year so we are going to start advertising the first 50 blankets are free and if other groups want to sign up after that they can but they have to supply their own fleece. :)

10/8/06 Hey Guys! I sent out a ton of e-mail today so hopefully we will get a lot of responses (fingers crossed). So heads up! My event is coming up fast so there will be a lot going on! I hope all of your can come and help out. I think it's going to very sucessful. Chris - there is an e-mail in the inbox for you!

By the way ... we got new long distance codes ... Dana - #639692 Aurora - #639693 Sabrina - #639694 Chris - #639695

Hope this helps. Sabrina

10/8/06 Chris- Your event came up during my sororities chapter meeting today. I dont know if you realized that our Jr. Phil told people they could make up to 4 blankets and that there are 150 people in ESA. I announced that the number of supplies for blankets will be provided but that members can also purchase the supplies because there will be limited supplies available. This is something that Nicole and I talked about briefly, but I wanted to let you know incase Michelle Murphy ( our junior phil)contacted you. Sabrina- I passed out a sign up today at chapter but havent gotten it back. I am going to have someone bring it to the SVC ASAP. -Aurora

6 October 2006

DANA~ I am going to run to Walmart and Meijer to fill out donation forms for the Hunger and Homelessness Awareness event. I should be in after that!

'''10/5/06 CIRVNOW is currently not listing any volunteer opportunities! There have been students coming in for a class, so make sure to check the website first before you direct them to the site! Thanks, Aurora'''

Nicole, I called Home-never-in-my-office Depot and Mary WILL be in her office tomorrow from 6am-2pm. Both her and Bri weren't in today. ugh. ANYWAYS if you can call when you are in tomorrow that would be fabulous. I am going to talk with erin an chryslas upstairs today if they are available.

THANKS! Chris

4 October 2006

Chris- I called Target and they can't make a donation BUT want to make a blanket (haha, how ironic). I have all of the contact info and will send them info tomorrow. Can you send me a flyer? Also, I called Home Depot- the people I needed to talk to weren't there (again). They said to call back and ask for either Brie or Mary. -- No word on the fleece yet, but I'm working on the budget stuff. Talk to you later gator:)

-Habitat would also like to make a blanket:)

Hi everyone else:)

~Nicole

10/4/06 Dana Cathlic Chertities called. She wont be in the office today. Call her on her cell today @ 309-531-1293

EVERYONE What can we do about the listserve? There are about 10 people that emailed asking us to take them off because they graduated. Sabrina, are you the one who has been taking care of our new healthy listserve? (yay) ALSO, i made a word document titled "listserve" that has the information for my event that i would like to go out tomorrow. THANKS!

10/3/06 Chris- Kevin Krutcher from Project Oz returned your call. His phone number is 827-0377.- Aurora

10/3/06

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
