Nursing Home Update

Autumn Grace nursing home volunteers will need to have:

*Background study

*One form of ID (Picture ID is fine)

*A two step Mantoux test (provided at the nursing home)

**They have decided they don't need to show any videos so once everyone has their first Mantoux read they can be scheduled to start volunteering. 

 Also, the contact at AG is Lana if you have any other specific questions!

Updates!

Initiation is tomorrow! Its in our regular meeting room (AH 305) at 4 pm- we will be doing our mini ceremony first so anyone who needs to leave early can. We will be having a little pizza party and short meeting afterward- please try to make this, it's important!!

RAKE THE TOWN is at 9 on Saturday Morning! Meet around 8:45 in the parking lot behind taylor center- look for Sandy! Her cell phone is 507-828-1561.

Next week we will be starting meetings with the nursing home! Updates on the meeting times will be provided soon :)


That's it! See you tomorrow!!

Email Update!

Hello ESG Members!

 

Just a few updates. Instead of meeting this Thursday the wonderful people at the St. Peter Food Coop have found time to give us a tour! It just so happens to be at 430, during our meeting time. Therefore, we are having an "email meeting". Let's meet at 4-410 in the CSU in the sitting area in front of Jazzman's (the coffee shop). We will carpool! If you need to leave early (it's about a 15 minute drive) that is totally fine! I'll still count your hour for enthusiatic participation =)

 

We are having our initiation at 101 Main Resturant (inside of Holiday Inn downtown) on Thursday, Oct 29th! We will eat a bit of dinner together and do our sweet ceremony! It'll be fun!

 

Rake the town is in a few weeks! We have a good group of volunteers! If you'd still like to join please email sandy at sandra.popowski@mnsu.edu. It's the morning of Halloween and will take about 2 hours.

 

Mavericks after Dark Fundraiser is still in the works- more info to come.

 

Jenny F received an email from her boss and would love to meet with us to discuss how we can help at the nursing home! it would involve games, reading, and just being good company! They are willing to meet with a group or possible 2 groups of us pretty much any day. Please email me with the 2 days that would work for you personally- i will try and schedule 2 days with jenny and her boss that work the best for the most people!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR DEDICATION!

October 1 Meeting Notes.

Hello Everyone!
Here is the link for the October 1 meeting notes:

October 1 Minutes.

Happy Homecoming Weekend!

New Meeting Room.

Just a reminder that meetings will be held in Armstrong 305 rather than CSU 202 as our group has exponentially increased in size! See you there :)

Also, please remember to turn in your tshirt money to the ESG mailbox in the Health Science Workroom on the second floor of Highland North (right next to the main RPLS/Health Science office). The ESG mailbox is in the top R corner! We need this by Friday!

ESG Shirts and Upcoming Event Information.

Thank you all for your interest and involvement in ESG. The homecoming clothing has been ordered. Sandy (Secretary) has used the ESG checking account to pay for 50% of it. We ordered way more than we ever have before so we're making a special request to avoid draining our account: If you can please write a check or have exact cash for the items that you got and bring it to the Health Science Workroom on the 2nd floor of Highland North. This way we can put money back into our account before paying for the last 50%.There will be an envelope in our mailbox (top right). Prices are as follows:

Tshirts - $14.55
Long sleeve - $13.90
Sweatshirts - $28.90

Please don't assume that other people will do it and just not do it. It would really help us out.

Next are the events!

RSO Fair is Sept 30th- Contact Anna if you'd like to commit an hour or so of time to working the table. Contact her with any ideas and hours you'd like to do asap (anna.pfeiffer@mnsu.edu)

Anyone who wants to help with homecoming posters please join Vlada and Natalie in the SLD (CSU past the bookstore). Thursday (9/24) starting at 1130 - 1:30. Please help if you can -- we need a few to cover the vehicle for the homecoming parade. The actual event is at noon on Oct 3rd. Please come early to get your shirts if you don't get them at the Oct 1st meeting! Plan on meeting in the parking lot behind the performing arts center from 11:30-11:45am. Most likely you'll have to park somewhere else or just walk. If anyone has ideas as to what we can hand out from the vehicle let Jenica know (jenica.lyon@mnsu.edu)

Susan and Natalie (susan.gerbensky@mnsu.edu and natalie.hazel@mnsu.edu) are in charge of the humane society fundraiser. If you'd like to help or have ideas please contact them directly.
 
The March of Dimes is holding it's annual Signature Chef's Auction on October 8th at Snell's Indoor Auto Center.  They are looking for people from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. in shifts or all day on Oct 8.  This is a huge high profile that requires people to be firm in the times they say they're available.  So, if people are interested in volunteering, they can e-mail me and I will forward it on to the director of the MOD.  Some of the jobs that are available are:  Load-In/Set-Up, Garbage, Runners for the Auction, and Tear Down.  They will be placed according to the times that they have available.  This is also a formal event which means that people need to dress up.  What happens is chef's from around MN come in and offer taste tasting.  This is a fundraiser that has a Silent Auction and Live Auction.  I believe it will be a fun night.  If you have any questions, please ask.
PLEASE CONTACT ANNA IF YOU'D LIKE TO DO THIS. anna.pfeiffer@mnsu.edu
