September Meeting
|
Hello! Guess what! Second Sunday of the month is next week, September 11th!  If you're saying it seems too early, I won't argue that. We had our meeting on the third Sunday last month. So, the real question is this: do you want to do this next week or the week after? I'm open to both! Either way, we need to figure out where we're having the meeting.
Our friends here in the apartment would like to offer our living room at any time. Usually we wouldn't do this, but we recently re-upholstered our lame standard-issue couches and chairs with Star Wars fabric! And we have all six movie posters up in the room, and lightsabers, and the whole shebang.
However, we did have the meeting in Cruces last time around, and it may be time to have a meeting in Alamogordo, since the last time we had a meeting there was in June (or May?) I believe.
Tell me what you think!
(PS: Looking into CafePress this weekend for T-Shirts.  )

Alamo would be best for me. Right now we are having to work all weekend to help support the Hurrican Relief efforts and to be honest I do not know when it will be done. It might continue right through the week and throughout next weekend. I do not believe that it would extend much further than that so if everyone decides on the third Sunday I am pretty open to where ever. I just need to remember 4:30 this time because last month I thought it was 4:00 and probably just missed all of you. I think I left B&N about ten to fifteen after. Sorry about that.

Any Sunday would work for me. Alamagordo would be okay too, I think.
I was thinking that as part of our organization, for the community service aspect of it, we could start doing something for the people who had to go through such a tragic event /c the hurricane. In EP there it's scheduled that somewhere between 500 and 5,000 people will be staying here! I feel we should do something that can help them out.
Just a thought.

I'll have to get back to you on that. Since I have no idea where to start. I just know that I feel we should do something (not sure what that something is just yet.) I e-mailed a friend of mine who is really good with the whole community service stuff so I'm hoping he will get back to me before our next meeting. Weather it be on Sept.11th or the week after. I'm terrible with community service, I'll admit that so I have no idea where to begin since I've never really done anything. In my heart I just know that there has to be something that I/we can do.
I'll get back to you should any ideas pop into my head or my friend e-mails me back, which ever comes first.

That seems like a really good idea jaggy. As for the meeting, it seems that things are finally clearing up. There is a slim chance I could make it to this months meeting, the only obsticle would be that I dont think I can make it to Alamogordo. It is to far. I guess I will just wait for the next meeting in El Paso

Maybe we can do something nerdy and donate toys or something to the children of the families. I think that would be nice.

Unfortunately I might not be able to make it to the Alamogordo meeting either.
gloomypadme, a toy drive sounds nice. I'm thinking maybe we could also collect first aid kits and water. Canned foods, maybe diapers. Anything would much benefit them over there. Especially since a lot of diseases are starting to surface due to the dead bodies, infested waters and what not.

I'll go to wherever everyone else wants to go for the meeting. We'll just have to pick the location that the most people can make it to. I am determined to make it to this one though because I haven't been able to make it in months. And I too really like the idea of doing something for the hurricane victims....it seems all of us think it's a great idea, we just have to figure out what we're going to do. Great topic for discussion at our next meeting!

Guys, I have an idea what you can do to help. Please make care packages. They can be anything you think people would like, magazines, toys, food. It needs to be in a shoe box. It also needs to be clearly marked for teenager, adult, infant, toddler. There are drop points in Cloudcroft and at Bety Dare in Alamo! Please help, I think this is a great idea and if you guys could help that would be awesome! Wal-Mart has already donated a lot of necessities but they don't have comfort things. I hope you guys like the idea.

LJ, care packages sound like a great idea!
Sure the victims need the neccesities but there are also a lot of children [and older victims] who I'm sure would appreciate something a little extra. I wonder if the Red Cross is accepting things like that? I'll check the website today and see what I can come up with.
I know I might not be able to go to the meeting but I'm sure I can plan out ideas here before you all meet.

Ok, here's the official word on the meeting (I'm copying this from the august meeting thread that Andrea posted it under):
Alright, I'm making the decision. This Sunday, we'll meet at Hastings in Alamogordo on 10th Street at 4:30PM. However, soon we will be considering just making a set place for our meetings. We'll talk more about this on Sunday.
