Summary of meeting 2/6/07

- Please empty any "Pop it Like it's Hot" envelopes that you see (and especially the ones in your dorms) of the soda tabs in them and bring them to next week's meeting (2/13/07)

-Please bring photos of yourselves and of Swarthmore, along with any trinkets of Swarthmore and American college life you can think of, to next week's meeting. We have a twin Rotaract club in Mongolia and are preparing a photo album/memento book to send to them. Also, please join our Twin Club's e-mail group!

- We are going to the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House on Saturday, 2/17, to drop off the soda tabs we have collected recently. We would leave in the early afternoon (the exact time will be decided next meeting). If anyone wants to meet earlier in the PPR kitchen to bake goods to bring with us (since Ronald McDonald house relies on donated food), please e-mail pfont1 or lgyi1 soon!

- We are going to do maintenance of the Bluebird Trail (remove last year's nests, right tipped-over posts, and build and install new nest boxes) at the Schuylkill Environmental Center on Sat., Feb. 24 (the day of Screw). We will take the 10:30 AM train from Swarthmore and should be back by 4 PM at the latest, allowing you enough time to dress up to meet your screw dates at dinner in Sharples. ***please e-mail pfont1 soon if you plan to go!

-Tri-Co Peace Week is March 30 - April 7. We will do a clothing drive that week, and we will collect clothes at a central location (Tarble? outdoors?) We are taking suggestions about what organization to donate the clothes to. Lin has suggested an organization that will send the clothes to those who need them in Africa, but please tell us if you have any more suggestions.

- The Philadelphia Hunger Walk is Sat., April 14. We might decide to split into two groups, one that will walk in the Hunger Walk (which requires a $15 donation per person), and another that will volunteer in the staging of the walk (handing out water, etc.) If anyone has any other suggestions (that we all do the same thing, etc.) please e-mail pfont1 or lgyi1.

That's it for now! See you next week!
