09.28.2010 Meeting Notes

We're currently trying to put together an ESG contact list for the current school year; if you were not able to attend today's meeting, please email your phone number and preferred email address to mnsu.esg@gmail.com 

There are several volunteer opportunities coming up:

1. Assisting at the Career and Internship Expo at MSU -- Wednesday, October 6th (7:45-9am, 9-10am, 2:30-3:30pm); Thursday, October 7th (7:45-9am, 9-10am, 10-11am, 2:30-3:30pm) Email susan.gerbensky@gmail.com ASAP if you are interested in any of these hours. 
2. RSO Fair -- Monday, October 4th, from 11am-1pm. This is a campus event where we will be promoting our group and encouraging others to join! Please make every effort to be there, even if it is just for a short time!
3. Major Fair -- Wednesday, October 20th, from 11am-1:30pm. This will likely be in the CSU ballroom, and will again be a promotional event for the group, as well as the health science department!
4. Rake the Town -- Saturday, October 30th, from 9am-Noon. We will be raking the yards of individuals who are disabled or otherwise unable to take care of it themselves-- this is a huge community event, and it has been a blast every year we have participated :) If that doesn't convince you, there will also be a FREE chili cookout sponsored by VINE when we finish raking! Also, we need rakes for this event. Please contact susan.gerbensky@gmail.com if you are able to provide any!

If you are able to attend any of these events, email mnsu.esg@gmail.com! Remember, you have to complete 15 hours of service work each semester to remain an active ESG member and to be eligible for graduation honors.

Have a great week!

Memory Walk 2010.

The memory walk at Sibley Park on Tuesday, September 14 was a blast! We had the opportunity to walk for Alzheimers in one of the most beautiful locations in Mankato, as well as network with local area nursing homes that treat patients with dementia/alzheimers. There was even free pizza and soda afterward! All in all, a fun and successful event :)

Leadership Conference.

The MSU Women's Center is hosting a student leadership conference specifically for women on Saturday, September 18, 2010! Please consider registering for this event -- it should be very interesting and helpful in developing leadership skills.
