Progress Report

Hey everyone! SORRY for the delay - I’m not sure where this week went! We had a really productive meeting last Friday. Thanks to all who came, and it was great to meet a new face. We compiled our different resource book sections, and sent them in to Jeanne to see what holes Sav-A-Life can plug for us. Major progress!

We discussed usability of the blog and FB group, and I need to remind everyone to make sure their personal FB settings allow you to receive group updates. And if you're not part of our group yet, join up!

We're looking into ways to become visible on-campus. Some ideas that were suggested:

freshman orientation student-group fairs that will run throughout the summer
(how do we get a table?)

running an article about the resource book in the Kaleidoscope
(how do we get published?)

Great ideas! What else?

We're contacting the Asst. Director of Student Programs to get his feedback on some questions. Hopefully those who attended can recall how we divided up who is asking Creston what...because I can’t. Although it’s not the worst thing to have more than one person ask – he’ll probably be relieved to see that I'm not making the group up!

Here’s what we want to know:

How can we get UAB web space?

What venue/events do student groups use for promotion of their group and events?

Are we allowed to post or display materials at designated spots throughout campus?

Can we put baskets of free pregnancy tests in bathrooms?

The first two are somewhat related and then the second two are also, so stake your claim on your questions! Creston Lynch will be our main point of contact and can be reached at 205-934-8020 or clynch@uab.edu. Let us know what you'll be following up on by leaving a comment.

Our next meeting is set for Friday, April 17 at 12 p.m. in the downstairs conference room of the Rec Center. We sure hope you can make it - and bring a friend!

I pray that you have a wonderful Easter weekend as we celebrate the One paid the ultimate price for life, with His own. So thankful for our risen Savior!

For Life,
Stacey
