More Power 100 stuff

We've broken through 200,000 points!! Go WC!

We didn't have a meeting today, because April was busy and finals week has been crazy. I'll write up a Facebook message to all the ONE members about how to keep the points coming over winter break.

Nick has offered to drive me to DC, and I'm looking at hotel prices, etc. It's fun =]

More info later.

Last week's minutes and more!

We're up to 182 recruits and we're solidly in the #5 place!

April and I have to determine how we'll get to the Power 100 Summit - and I suppose we'll discuss it at the meeting tomorrow at 3:00pm.

I'm going to post the minutes from the last meeting (finally!)

ONE Chapter Meeting

Monday, December 03, 2007

3:00pm

Present: April Bentley, Caitlin Reed, Milyda Cass, Caitlin Ryan, Tony Staubach

Minutes

1. Ranking: We are 9^th as of right now, Dangling on the edge of having 100k points. (99,170). Once we get the ONE City proclamation we’re good. April still needs to talk to Dan about having a “ONE Campus.” They mayor did count as a prominent alumni.

2. Non-logged things: some tables, most of the meetings (because April has to scan in the minutes and agendas to use them as picture files). We don’t think the weekly challenge was logged under the weekly challenge link, but we’ll still get points for having AIDS event. We haven’t logged Oxfam Hunger Banquet.

3. ONE at Dance Marathon: We had a ONE team, we had 44 people spell out “ONE” on the floor. We took video and pictures.

4. Shirts: Do we want ONE t-shirts? Which design?

5. Note from Tony: We need to do something really creative and out-of-the box. Sponsor a recycling bin? Cleaning up the environment will help with world health. Group discussion with faculty and students at the beginning of next semester, demonstration on campus. Tony can’t take all the responsibility. Talk with Neil Snarr about speaker who can talk about Africa and AIDS and the environment impacting poverty. It doesn’t necessarily have to be about AIDS. Neil might be able to point us in the right direction for a speaker. We can try and get McCoy room or even Boyd. We get points for on-campus student-faculty forum. Prof-student forum, then break into mini-groups with one panel member and a few students. Evening, a few hours. We need to include an international focus. Tony’s friend Laura works with Brazilian shantytowns – possible? Tony will talk to her and see if she will still be here next semester. Mini-conference on a Saturday, including a service project (weather permitting) and hot cocoa afterward.

6. Athletics: We talked to Terry in Athletics about different things we can do. We can go get the Quaker head and take a picture with a shirt. He talked about the coaches he thought might be willing to wear a ONE band during an event. He also recommended

7. Concert, teams, Caitlin-organized events: Need paper info for Steve Haines. April will work on it and get it to Caitlin.

8. SGA passing the proclamation: All we have to do is write up a proclamation and SGA will sign it.

9. Dan and the ONE campus: April and/or Tony will set up a meeting with Dan. Maybe over Christmas break, maybe at the beginning of next semester.

10. Little points: We can get 75 points/day for blog entries, ONE your pet, etc. We move up when people report their stuff.

Meeting adjourned at 3:42pm

Power 100

My day had ups and downs, and a lot of the vacillation was due to the ONE Campus Challenge.

UP: I got accepted to attend the Power 100 Summit!
DOWN: I had to find a way to pay for transportation.
UP: My dad said he would cover the expenses.
DOWN: I feel bad about him paying for it...but he doesn't, so I'm trying to not feel so badly about it.

So...I'm going to DC!

I just have to figure out how to get there and where I'm staying =]

Are you ONE?

Here's an email that Tara Lydy, our ONE Chapter Advisor on campus, sent out today:

Hello,
I would like to send out a little recognition for some of our
students who have been working so diligently on the ONE Campus
Challenge which focuses on eradicating global AIDS and poverty. The
campaign has been a huge success across the nation by empowering
students to stand against these issues and encourage student
activism. Currently, the Wilmington College ONE Chapter is 5th in
the nation! So, a round of applause to the following students who
are leading the way: April Bentley, Caitlin Reed, Arin Bentley,
Milyda Cass, Mariah Fulton, Bri Rogers, April Mays, Abbey
Pratt-Harrington, and Caitlin Ryan.

If you would like to help the chapter maintain its status in a very
simple way, sign up to join the campaign. This is one of the many
ways the chapter has earned points. So sign up today, it's
FREE! Visit this website to do so. http://www.one.org/campus/index.html
Have a wonderful weekend!
Tara

End of the week update

We didn't have a meeting today because April couldn't make it and we didn't have a whole lot to go over anyway. We're going to have a meeting next Wednesday, December 12, at 3:00pm to set up a game plan for semester break.

I still haven't heard anything about the Power 100 Summit. I applied a few weeks ago to be considered as a second Wilmington College representative.

We are still 5th in the standings, and Tara Lydy will be sending out an email to faculty, etc. detailing our efforts and helping to recruit.

Arin Bentley and I sat at a table this morning at the open house for the Peace Resource Center. We had ONE bands and bookmarks for sale, and we sold three bookmarks. We also sold seven tote bags for the CSCE Recycling program, but those sales don't benefit ONE.

More later,
Caitlin

Number Five.

We are FIFTH! We're above HOFSTRA, who was #1 since the dawn of time. We can really do this! I'm so very VERY excited. I just had to mention it =]

More later!

Mondays!

We didn't quite make Photo of the Week with the swimmers, but ONE decided to give us 1000 points for the awesome picture anyway. At least, that's how I think they did it.. Anyway, we got on the ONE CC blog!

We're also going to have some press releases in local newspapers and possibly on radio or TV or something...we're working on it.

We had a meeting today. I'll post the minutes tomorrow.

We dropped down to 9th but now we're 5th!

More info later.

Peace,
Caitlin

Dance Marathon 07

Dance Marathon was a blast! We had a ONE team there, and we got 44 people to spell "ONE" on the floor. We couldn't get the ladder back far enough to get all the people in one picture, so we're just going to submit both or Photoshop them together.

I'm going to put in some pictures from DM. If we had had the DM shirts, we would have ONE'd them, but we didn't, so it's okay. We were there representing ONE and we got the human logo - it was World AIDS Day too, and the whole week was full of events for AIDS Awareness!
At DM, there was DDR, Guitar Hero, a mechanical bull, sumo wrestling suits, a mechanical surfboard, and a little putt-putt type thing. The picture with me talking into a microphone is me talking about the ONE Campus Challenge and asking people to spell "ONE" on the floor.
