TWB Meeting #6
April 9 ‘09
Task: Kara, write a cheque for $85.00 (65$ to incorporate and 25$ for name search) has to be made out to minister of finance (will do this ay next mtg)
Task: Brainstorm ideas for next year:
- Concert Without Borders (Kyle's idea): recruit bands for charitable reasons and have a concert, free admission, (or cheap), have a beer gardens, bring some sort of school supplies instead of fees (maybe make school kits, there is a list of things that goes into them, they get distributed around the world- Mennonite central does this, they have this list)
- Find out where we want it – Manhatten, Drive in, (bio-degradable beer cups), field behind education, the sculpture field, we would have campus security, it would be on campus, easy to get to (Jeremy will email me the name, employee of USSU, does safewalk, and insurance for diff., maybe do stuff in bowl, could we partner with Lois? Diff kinds of music, start at 5:00, could have cultural dance, Brenda Baker choir (BBQ, 5 -7 family oriented, 8 beer etc. 10), Mitchels Meat (good BBQ package). Probably need a tent, a stage, sound system.
- Guatamala – Geraldine is looking into this, she talked to Vivian, would focus on service learning and looking at indigenous issues such as the fall out of civil war and how community orgs are working to re-establish community
- Pizza sales every week (once a week) – The bio club does this (Carmen will call bio club and see what kind of process they go through)
- Put bins up on campus to collect extra school supplies, is there space in tunnel to put one? (Kelly will look into this – she’ll send an email to USSU)
- Advertising: Fall '09
First week back, advertise in the bowl, have a table in the bowl, recruit some people who are in PAA and Music who won’t be out interning (we have blurb that goes out with orientation info – have contact so they can contact me before they come in (we will organize this closer to the fall)
- Banner over overpass could do all the WB’s
- Banners outside plac riel
- Painting side walks (sidewalk chalk that’s good for environment)
- Banner at top of stairs going into the arts building from tunnel (above tims)
- Event for spring '10: Have speaker night (maybe Greg Mortenson) – Carmen will email/call and ask if he charges fees to speak etc.
