2.18.10 Updates

Sandy would like to remind everyone that if they haven't ordered a tshirt yet to please email her with your type and size asap. She is putting in our order next week. Her email is sandra.popowski@mnsu.edu.
 
Next meeting we will be discussing new topics! Sara K has asked about doing an eating disorder awareness event of some type which we think will be great! She needs help brainstorming, organizing, and preparing so let her or Jenica know if you'd like to be on the Eating Disorder Committee!
 
We will also be discussing what to do for public health awareness week and for Busters tip night for BENCHS. We'll need to start organizing groups to create adveritsing posters for all of our events and so on. Please participate as much as you can!
 
Don't forget about the YMCA Triathalon coming up in 2 weekends! It's Feb 27th for those of you who are officially picked as volunteers.

See you next week!

Website Updates!

Hey Everyone!

Some exciting new updates to our website have been made! There are links to the important ESG documents (ie phone lists, volunteer logs, etc) AND a brand new link to the official ESG google calendar, which lists our important volunteer opportunities and their dates/times!! You can scroll using the arrow buttons to look at everything coming up and click on each event for more details. Also, there is a small print icon above the calendar that you can click to print a list of everything on the calendar :)

If you experience any trouble with these changes, please let Susan (susan.gerbensky@gmail.com) know, and they will be fixed ASAP. Enjoy, and we'll see you at the recruitment pizza party next Tuesday! :)

1-26-2010 Meeting Notes.


1) There is a small group of members getting together sometime friday afternoon to make posters for the sandwich boards. If you'd like to help text Jenica at: 6512473341. For those of you who couldn't attend- Our speaker, Bonnie Frisk, is requesting our help to promote her smoking ban survey and we are making sandwich boards signs and having a booth to encourage people to fill out the survey. Hopefully, she's taken our suggestions on how to improve the whole thing =)
 
2) Following are the dates for a few of our upcoming events- 3/19 Special Olympics, 4/10 Relay for Life 6pm to 4/11 6am, and 4/25 March of Dimes. Write them down and make plans to attend!
 
3) Jolene brought some great volunteer opportunities to us from the YMCA. We had a great number of people sign up for both events at the meeting and anyone who'd like to be apart of them email or text Jenica by Friday. Volunteers get shirts for both events! They MIGHT not need everyone so if you're signed up and do not get contacted, you were most likely not randomly selected from our list of willing participants for a lady named Joy. She is the main contact person. The events are the indoor triathalon Sat. Feb 27th 7am-12pm and the fun run Sat. March 6th 8am-1030am.
 
4) Recruitment week next week!!! The sign up sheet is posted on our blog website- please view it and pick a class you can make a quick presentation to. Contact the professor to ask them for permission and obtain a small stack of our flyers to pass out (they'll be in our ESG mailbox which is in the Health Science Workroom in Highland North). Our pizza party is FEB 9TH!
 
5) If you didn't get a volunteer log sheet please set up a time to meet with Jenica or a place where she can drop one off for you. They are also available on our website to be printed off!
 
6) Next meeting we will be handing out a sheet on ESG expectations for professionalism- we'll talk more about this in person and then notes will be taken on the discussion.
 
7) Any ESG member who'd like to have a piece published in the Eta Sigma Gamma Monograph? We have the information for you!
 
8) GOOD IDEA- Keep track of all the activities and events you do with ESG to be able to add to your resume and/or your portfolio after you leave MNSU!

Thanks for your enthusiasm and support, everyone! Good luck recruiting :)

If you are one of the members that can not make it to meetings- Please let Jenica know when she can give you a log sheet. Continue to check back often for minute meetings and read the emails we send out in order to be current with our events!!

First Meeting of the Spring Semester!

Hello Everyone!
Our first meeting will be January 12th in CSU 202 at 4 pm. Tuesday at 4 worked best for the majority of people!
Bring any ideas you have for the semester. I've attached the schedule of our meetings for this semester. One more will be scheduled on April 12th which is not listed because I have to reserve a different room due to conferences on campus taking over our room...
If you were not active last semester and would like to be this semester please let one of the officers know!
Can't wait to see all of your shining faces :)
