FROM THE MEETING on Monday, January 26:

The meeting tonight was very productive -- considering we had a lot to talk about we have a lot figured out. Here's what we talked about:

KORDP

• KORDP has fallen through the cracks within the last year. There has been a lot of effort put forth on our side to reestablish the connection, but we have received no response.
  
• WHAT NOW?
  
  • Our goal for the next two weeks is to brainstorm and research new organizations (preferably still Africa-based that benefits orphans).
    
  • If you come up with an idea or if you have something in mind, please reply to all in this email so that everyone can stay involved. Otherwise, bring your ideas to the meeting (please contact the group to see if it is a viable option)
    

WALK

• We have decided to still pursue the 5k this year, even with the lack of Jeanne's class.
  
• We talked about new ways to attack our advertising issue (scope out locations for advertising way beforehand and pursue runner-friendly locals).
  
• We have a bunch of extra T-shirts from last year's walk - WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THEM?
  
  • We want to use them as a giveaway-advertisement.
    
  • BUT HOW?
    

FOSO'S FUTURE

• With so many of us graduating and becoming busier, we need a committed group of fresh faces.
  
• If you know of anything (listserve, a good location, etc) for advertising to the younger crowd, DO IT!
  
  • We thought of African Studies Bulletin, RHA Channel, and the dorms
    

AND - attached is a flyer for our next meeting. Print some out and pass them along.

I know this is long, but like I said, the meeting was very productive.
If you have any questions or comments, please "reply to all" and let us know your issues.

Our next meeting will be Monday, February 9 at 8:00pm in C103 Wells Hall

Come with ideas, contact info and some enthusiasm because we have to make our little group stretch a long way!

Thanks for all of your work!
