Lambda Sigma Minutes- November 7th

1. Service Hours: You need 30 service hours for the year. 15/30 service hours has to be with Lambda Sigma. You need to have 7 hours completed (either with or without lambda sigma) by the end of this term. If you serve over Christmas break, it counts for next term. Sam showed us how many hours we currently have.

2. We played the game where Schuyler draws two names. Peter and Joy were picked.
Peter- Peter’s favorite part of college is talking about urban planning with people (that never happened in high school). He’s an intellectual kind of guy. Also, if Peter could meet any person dead or alive, he’d meet his half brother, who currently he hasn't met. This half brother is a good guy.
Joy- When Joy was a little girl she wanted to be a marine biologist. Her favorite expression to say (this one is tricky!) is “the moral of the story is…” and THEN instead of saying what the moral of the story ACTUALLY is, Joy says something that is actually not the moral of the story, if there was a story to begin with. Crazy.

3. PAC street team! Do you want to do it!??! Hand out fliers for the PAC. It’s crazy fun, I hear. You can do it when you want, whatever time you want, how you want. We signed our names on a sheet if we were interested in doing this service. They want it done the week of the 14th. If you signed up, Jena will give you more information.

4. Natasha talked about t-shirts. Remember, they’re $8.75 per person for one t-shirt. Lambda Sigma is covering the $75 fee. Deadline for the money is officially on November 21st. But if you want to pay earlier, you can drop it off with our friend and excellent advisor LINDA at the Raymond house, or bring it to the next meeting. Cash is accepted, and if you want to pay by check you should make your check out to Lawrence University (because then we’ll write one big check to the t-shirt men and ladies).

5. Bjork: Bring your favorite movie! Bring a board game if you want. Andy may steal some from Plantz! Crazy knitting RLA (PS- he’s really good at knitting, I was watching for most of the meeting… not to be creepy or anything, but it’s impressive, such talent!) Also, the bus leaves promptly at 6, so you should meet in the Wriston turnaround at 5:45pm.

6. Service Committee: we discussed the box we’re going to put in the union. We need a permanent box. But not one too big (it’ll be too heavy to carry), we are thinking making it from wood. We may make it at Bjork if we can find a way to get it back. Also, we want to decorate the box. Paint, glitter? Do we need wheels? Will we decorate the box at bjork this weekend too? Do we want 3 smaller containers or one big container? So many questions! We need your input. E-mail Jena, Dabney, or Candice if you have ideas or answers to these pressing questions!

7. For National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (November 13-19th) SWAHP is having a service day on November 17th (Thursday). People will be going to volunteer sorting food at St Joe’s and Salvation Army. Preparing and Serving lunch at the Salvation Army will also be an option. These activities will take place in the morning to afternoon. Keep your calendars clear to get some service hours and better our community by helping those in need!

8. Samantha Rose Gibb forgot the Lamb!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it’s okay. Nicki (sp?) Dabney was awarded the lamb. She has been doing a fabulous job with all her service activities. She’s called a lot of places and organized some events etc. AMAZING member. Good job!!!! Way to be a good lamb.

Excused absence: Caitlin G.
Counted absences: Alison B. and Asher P.

We’re probably pretty much the coolest people in the whole world.
