Minutes from this weeks meeting

There are two more projects to complete before the end of the semester!! Please do your part to help them be successful.

-Earth Day: Saturday April 18 1-10pm
FREE and La Pinon will be collaborating on seed paper dedicated to survivors. We need volunteers to work the booth.

Earth Day celebration sponsored by OASIS is a fledgling event in Las Cruces. For this second year OASIS members have been working hard with the campus and city community to provide a fun and educational event for all of Las Cruces. To ensure the success of the event, and to show appreciation to OASIS and it's efforts FREE encourages ALL members to come to the event with friends and family. There will be something for everyone!

-Take Back The Night: Friday April 24
We will be having a table with the time line/history of TBTN. We need volunteers to work the table for the event.

We also encourage all FREE members to come to TBTN and invite friends and family. TBTN has been at NMSU for many years, but we want to make sure that it has a great turn out this year. This is a wonderful opportunity to gather as a community and stand out against violence. A message this strong deserves strong numbers!

To prepare the for the events we will be having get together's at Naomi's house the next two weekends.
Sunday April 5, 4pm
Saturday April 11, 10am
We have all of the materials needed to make seed paper and the time line. We just need creative brains and crafty hands.
Contact Naomi at naomie (at) nmsu.edu for direction to her house.

-We will be losing our charter this week.
FREE needs new board members and also to re-charter. We need a treasurer. If you think about it, the treasurers job is exceptionally easy! You will be required to attend an ASNMSU financial procedures meeting in the fall (it takes less than an hour), and then really all you do is write checks. Usually, because of the nature of our club, the checks are written out to non-profits. For instance, our V-Day events raised $10,000 this year. Our treasurer has the pleasure of writing checks to send that money out to where it was needed. Who wouldn't want to have that sort of good feeling!?
If you are interested, please let Naomi know! You can contact her at naomie (at) nmsu.edu.

-Next meeting is Tuesday, April 7 at 4pm, 2nd floor Corbett.
