Stuff.........

So Saturday, evidently, was not a good day for us to meet. Only 1 person showed up to our January meeting. Not a good sign.

Before the meeting, I was very happily preparing things for us to discuss, some handouts on volunteerism (statistics and the like), making lists of volunteer projects, sign up sheets, and I even ordered 3 pizzas because last time we didn't have enough pizza! But alas, I got burnnnneeeddd. Nobody showed except for Jasmine.

So there's a definite problem here. Whoever thought it would be a great time to meet on a frozen Saturday night at 7pm has issues. I propose that from now on we meet AT the High School after school. Does anyone second that motion?

Now on to some Volunteer Opportunities:

Flyers to Hand Out - The volunteer center needs one or two volunteers to pass out information to local businesses. It is just a newsletter and another paper to inform local businesses of a couple WALL MURALS that are going to be done here in Albion by a local artist. Cool stuff - simple task. Will take maybe 1 hour.
Any takers?

AVSO Surveys - The AVSO is conducting a local survey to determine how we can best serve the community. The survey is brief (takes less than 30 seconds to fill out) and we're looking to get feedback from as many communities as we can. I'd like to formally ask any VolunTEENS to take some of these surveys into your classrooms and ask some friends, teachers, etc.. If you could, it would be a HUGE help to us!

If interested in either of the above,

Email me at vistamatt@gmail.com, msg me on MySpace or call the AVSO at 629-5574.

Best,
Matt
