SLAC Updates

Hey everyone:

I wanted to provide all of you with some updates from the SLAC Meeting held on Tuesday.

We mostly focused on fundraising opportunities for the trip to Gulfport. The group decided to look at four things -- a t-shirt sale, selling beta fish at the carnival during Parents and Families Weekend, selling chocolate and pretzels at the same table, and the other... is escaping my mind right now (I'm writing from my apartment, not the office). But bottom line -- we're going to be pretty busy this semester, and we'll have lots to discuss at the meeting on the 24th.

Remember that we have a representative from the Red Cross, William Magee, coming to our meeting on the 24th to discuss his trip down to the Gulf Coast region during the time immediately following Hurricane Katrina, as well as his time spent responding to the fallout from Hurricane Rita. Again -- Tuesday, September 24th, 5:00 PM, Smith Chapel Living Room

We're also going to be completing a skills inventory so that our camp knows what skills we have. If you don't have too many skills, don't worry: one of our programs this semester will be spent learning basic construction tips from some of the employees in Maintenance and Operations here at Behrend.

Thanks for visiting the blog, and make sure you return soon. As we get more people here, material will be added much more quickly.

Peace!
