Committee Break-out Groups:
Community Service Committee
Arkansas Food Bank update
Stocked and Reddie
Community Clean-up application
Nakia asked that whenever we are doing community service/student life events
that we take pics/selfies/etc. (masked up of course) to show that student life is
still happening in a safe way. And it just helps publicize that ASG student life is
still involved in campus affairs
We have a link from Stocked and Reddie program that will allow us to sign up for volunteer opportunities, Nakia will send out. They need all the help they can get. February 16th is our scheduled day, but we can go whenever.
This semester we decided not to offer community clean up with the city of LR due to poor turnout at previous events. This was previously offered as an IPE activity last semester.
We had a good turnout at AR Foodbank and they really appreciated us coming
and we are welcome back whenever. Call to schedule a bigger group, but if it’s
just a few people then you can just walk in.
Event Committee: Set/change dates for events
Hello Fresh Virtual Cooking update
Currently scheduled for February 18th. We are waiting on paperwork to be finalized to proceed with gathering names, addresses etc. It may have to be pushed back again or be cancelled if paperwork can’t be finalized.
Drive-Thru Movie
We are thinking a weekend in April, maybe Saturday or Sunday evening. Allison will create a poll to decide movie choice once a location has been decided. We are asking War Memorial if we could use their parking lot to set up the theater.
Painting with a Twist
If Hello Fresh falls through, we are thinking of moving PWAT up to February. We will start with ~40 painting kits.
Loblolly Event
We will have to ask UAMS/Loblolly if they could provide a voucher for free scoop of ice cream. If the vouchers would not work, we could do a drive thru area near the residence hall to pick up a scoop of ice cream. For vouchers, we would hope to disperse in late February for use till the end of March. If we had the event, we would pick a date in March.
APPTEGY App Committee
