Meeting 11/13/12

Hi everyone!

Today at the meeting we went over tshirt and sweatshirt orders.  If anyone else is interested in ordering one we would like to have the orders and money by Friday, so let one of us know as soon as possible!

The fundraising for Kwianas Holiday Lights is this Saturday at Sibley Park.  We are meeting at 11:45 in the free lot.  We could use more volunteers and is a great way to get hours.

Initiation is scheduled for December 4th at 4:30 pm in MF 129.  If you are planning to be initiated you must attend (let us know if you have conflicts). Anyone is welcome!  Also, it is a potluck so please bring something to share! :)

Please note that there will not be a meeting on the 24th of November since initiation is the following Tuesday.

That is all for today. Have a great thanksgiving!

Meeting 10/30/12

Hey everyone!

Just as a reminder, the Allied Health and Diversity Fair is Monday, November 12th from 11:30 to 1.  This will be held in CSU 253/4/5.  Anyone interested in tabeling for this is welcome to come at any time!

We have heard about another volunteer opportunity that is available for more hours.  It is called Mavs Give Back and is being held on November 10th at 8 am.  This would consist of different volunteer projects around the community such as raking leaves, painting buildings, or picking up trash.  Registration for this is the morning of the event in the Shelberg Gym in Highland.

There is also another upcoming opportunity for hours that would also be used as fundraising for ESG. Kwianas is looking for volunteers to help them set up holiday decorations.  This would take place from 8 am to 5 pm November 17th and 18th.  We would choose either the morning or afternoon shift on one of the days depending upon what works best for most people.  Let us know what you think!

We also went over clothing orders today at the meeting.  We plan on ordering a baseball t and a half-zip sweatshirt.  We will be sending out an email this week with more information, so be watching for that.

The next meeting will be November 13th at 5 pm in CSU 202.

Meeting on October 30th

Our meeting for October 30th has changed locations. We will be meeting at 5:00 pm in CSU 256.

We have been asked to be a part of a video entitled "101 Ways to Reduce Stress". At the meeting on October 30th, a grad student from Student Health Services will be coming and asking us to each think of a way we like to reduce stress. We will then be making a poster with our stress reliever and be taking our picture with the sign. Student Health Services will then be making a video with our pictures.

This is a great way for ESG to help in Health Science field and help students around campus! Be thinking of a good stress reliever to use as an example!

Rake the Town 2012

Tomorrow is Rake the Town in Mankato and North Mankato! We will be meeting at the Free Lot by Kwik Trip at 8:30 am. We have been assigned to rake 2 houses and after we are done we will be heading to Rake the Town headquarters for lunch and prizes! Remember to dress warm and get ready for some hard work!

10/2/12 Meeting

Hi ESG members! Here is what we discussed at tonight's meeting:

To start off the meeting, we had a speaker come in from MSSA.  This is a student government group on campus.  They currently have two openings for senate members from the college of allied health and nursing.  This organization is working on projects like improving campus dining services and remodeling the first floor of the library.  If anyone is interested in joining, they can contact Daphne Drossart at daphne.drossart@mnsu.edu.

We went on to talk about and sign up for a variety of upcoming volunteer opportunities.  To start with, House Party is October 18th from 7pm to 10pm.  We are hoping to act out our own scene at this event.   If you are interested in helping, email us with your name and t-shirt size!

Next is the Mankato Marathon.  This is taking place on Saturday, October 20th.  It will involve a few hours in the morning, but we are not exactly sure on the times yet.  Let us know if you are interested.

Rake the town is Saturday, October 27th.  This also will be a morning event.  We are signed up to rake two houses. Send us an email if you would like to join.

Finally, the Allied Health and Diversity Fair is  Monday November 12th from 11:30 to 1 in the CSU.  All are welcome to sign up.

We are still looking for a volunteer to redo the bulletin board.  All that this would involve would be to change the dates and hang some pictures.  This would be an easy hour!

Next meeting: October 16 at 5 pm in CSU 202. Hope to see you all there!

Information Meeting 9/18/12


Hello everyone!

This week we had our informational meeting for students who may be interested in joining.  We had a really great turnout at this meeting! We just went over the basics about ESG: the motto, membership requirements, and some of the events we participate in throughout the year.  We hope it was helpful to all new members!  If anyone has any extra questions don’t be afraid to ask.

If anyone is interested in getting started on some hours for the semester, we will be doing some tabling at the RSO fair on Monday from 11-3.  Anyone is welcome to stop by and help, whether it be for an hour or the entire time.

That is all for this week!

ESG Meeting 9/4/12


Welcome back everyone! Hope the first few weeks of school are going well.
To start, we are looking for volunteers to go into classrooms and recruit students to join ESG. We have a list of classes prepared that would be good to go to and talk. Also, we have already written a script up if anyone is interested in doing this. You can make up a script of your own as well if you would like.

We have a few events in mind for this semester. Thursday October 18th is the mock House Party from 8:30 to 10:30 pm. ESG would like to act out a scene at this event if we get enough volunteers. The Mankato Marathon is October 20-21st and Rake the Town is Saturday, October 27th. We will have more details on these events later. For now, just mark them on your calenders!
We also briefly went over clothing options at the first meeting. We seemed to find that most people wanted to order T-shirts this year. Any other opinions on this?? Would you be interested in ordering one? Just let us know what you are all thinking!
Lastly, if you did not get an email about the first meeting but still want to be a member of ESG, please email Audra at audra.marvin@mnsu.edu with your contact information. Our next meeting will be Tuesday October 2nd at 5:00 pm is CSU 202.
That is all for now!

ESG Meeting 1/17


Hello fellow ESG members! Here is what was discussed at our meeting this evening!

The Safer Sex carnival is coming up on Feb. 13 from 10-2. We are currently thinking of games we could have the students play. Some ideas are creating a crossword or a word search and having those who complete it when a small prize. We are also trying to think of how we could incorporate pick-up lines somehow into this and those that are most creative win/receive a chocolate kiss.

Relay for life is Apr. 14 from 6pm to 6 am in Myers Field house. We are thinking of selling hot dogs or bagels or something along those lines. Also we are deciding on games we could have other people play. Something we did in the past was a bean bag toss and those who played paid some small amount of money to play. If there are any other ideas, feel free to share them with us!

Baseball concessions are coming up as well! The dates for these are Tues 4/3, Wed 4/4, Sat 4/21, Sun 4/22, Wed 4/25, and Sat 4/28. More information will be put out as the time gets closer! If you are interested in helping out, let us know!

Also, the Health Education Advocacy Summit Conference is Mar. 3-5 in Washington D.C. If you are interested in attending, let someone know ASAP. Registration deadline is Feb. 15th and approaching fast!

Lastly, if you know of any other volunteering options for all ESG members, let us know and we can discuss this.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
