The Plan

We will start up strong beginning next quarter. In the meantime, we are getting organized as an official UCD student group (thanks Bidita and Rizel!)

Volunteers will have the opportunity to work on various projects that interest them. Possible project committees include:

• Farmers Market fundraising for Haiti (including screen printing projects)
  
• Picnic Day tabling (April 17th)
  
• Whole Earth Festival tabling (May 7th, 8th, 9th)
  
• Haiti art show
• Long-term community development projects (with Dr. Guarnizo)
• Working with/helping a specific community in Haiti (like Eloissant's community)
  

There are some issues on the front burner:

1. First of all, we need to get a head count to see who is interested in helping with what
   
2. We also need to decide on a logo (finally!!)
3. There needs to be consensus around the group's mission statement
4. Finally, we need to decide where/to whom our fundraised funds are going
   

Some folks have raised the issue of transforming the group into a more general International Disaster Relief Fund - type group instead of just focusing on Haiti. We will discuss this option further.

Please add to this post or email me if I've forgotten anything.

I will send out a Doodle poll to see when/where we should meet next quarter.

Thanks!
