Old Business
a. 24 hour Service Project
Started by sorting and cleaning at Salvation Army, then went to a Childrens Museum to clean and play there, headed to a Goodwill to do some more sorting, did a clean-up at a park on Lake Superior, and ended the 24 hours of service at Baycliff Health Camp by raking and picking apples. It was a great weekend!
b. Homecoming Float
The homecoming Float was a success. Andrea thanked all those who helped make it and rode on the float in the parade.
c. Hockey Game Fundraiser Cancelled
We will no longer be working a concession stand at the hockey games because the club who worked last year decided they wanted to come back.
IV. Current Business
a. Little Things Month
October is Little Things Month. You should have received an email from Andrea that lists the little thing that should be done for each day. Otherwise, she will have copies at next weeks meeting. For everyday that you complete the little thing, you receive 5 minutes of service. So keep track of it and record all the fun little things you have done at the end of the month!
b. Cookies for Wilmar
