Kansas Relief Fund: This is a voluntary Regional project to assist Kansas members that become disaster victims. Suggestions for participation were: pledge $1 per new member in 2008, donate $25, or donate $1 per new member in 2007. We had only 27 new members in all of 2007. Juliann thinks Kappa Psi should donate at least $50 for 2007 and 2008.
Fundraising report: The knitting project is going over great. Fran’s total donation to Kappa Psi now is $210.00 + Toni’s donation is $15 for her hats. Fran will continue to sell the remaining snack bar items and knitting until gone or out of season.
Lollypops – Everyone please come to FA 228 and check out lollypops and sell them for 50 cents each. Good Valentine’s gifts! We have several boxes left.
Raffle fundraiser: Juliann thinks we are running too late to be successful for Valentine’s Day and suggests that we do it for the American Cancer Society similar to last March. We will need to collect donated items, advertise, and distribute cancer flyers with each donation received.
Meet Next Week: Monday at 4:00 or Tuesday at 5:15 in Fine Arts 228. Meet your new advisor.
Come prepared to plan for 2008. Refreshments will be served.
