Election Results + Other Updates

Hey everyone!

So yesterday (January the 22nd) we had the STAND Executive elections, annnnd here are the results!:

Co-Presidents: Jacqueline Patterson and Kat Sorfleet
Deputy Rep: Jeremy Frimer
Promotions & Media Coordinator: Aneil Jaswal
Divestment Campaign Chair: Jacqueline Patterson and Kat Sorfleet
Internal Administrator: Cait Murphy
Web Manager: Cait Murphy
Treasurer: Tanzina Alam
Bookings Reps: Aneil Jaswal, and temporarily Jeremy Frimer

We've also changed the meeting days! They will now be held on Thursdays at 12:30, and the next one will be on January 31st. :)

We've been brainstorming some projects for the coming terms. So far, we've thought of the following:

1) Varsity Outdoor Club event — Slide show, and a skiing/biking event to support Dream for Darfur

2) Darfur/Darfur — A traveling exhibit showing photos of Darfur. We have a chance of getting it to come to Vancouver after its trip to Calgary in March. Possible cost: Anywhere from $3,000 to $30,000

3) Beer garden — Probably going to have this at the beginning of next year

4) Craft selling — Thinking of selling crafts made by children in Darfur in order to raise funds for them. Does anyone have any ideas of how to implement this?

There are some tables booked for the 4th and 5th of February in the SUB. Possible things going on at these:
- T-shirt selling (they're pretty awesome)
- A letter campaign
- Petitions

Also, we are going to be working hard at recruiting new members. We would love to see anyone who can make it to meetings, and if you can't make it, email us and we will try to find a job for you that doesn't involve making it to every meeting. :)


See you all next Thursday (the 31st!)
