So many ideas!

We're still #27 in the standings, but that's way better than #133 last Saturday! I've been recruiting, getting friends and family members to sign up and support WC. It's even on my white board on my door, and I include it in my away messages on Instant Messenger. Next, I'm going to invite some professors. It's imperative that we have a strong network of support so that our efforts succeed. In the past, the Social Science professors have pushed my Hunger and Homelessness projects on their students; last semester I had a Hunger Banquet and some profs offered extra credit.

I hope the same goes for Third World Dodgeball. I submitted my paperwork and the dodgeballs have been ordered. It's scheduled for Monday, October 22 from 6-7pm. Hopefully I'll get a good turnout, and I have to make sure to take TONS of pictures!

I had a couple other ideas for ONE mini-projects. They're all centered around Halloween, or as I've deemed it, Hallo-ONE =]

We can paint ONE logos on pumpkins and pass out candy with snippets of ONE information on them. Oooh. Maybe we could have a Halloween party with candy and whatnot, or stuff mailboxes. I like the mailboxes idea. I'll start working on that this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, I'll get my mom and sister to sign up, as well as talk about it with Nick's family - I know I asked Nick and his sister both to sign up, but I'll mention it to his mom too. I'm so glad it's taken off like this. We can keep it going strong!

I'm going to check out http://one.org and see what kind of merchandise is available. I'd love to have some gear to promote the ONE Campaign and the Campus Challenge.
