Okay, I know BN is not an official SMSU organization, but I am posting the offer for anyone that wants to. I can take payment via cash, check, or paypal for anyone that wants to contribute to a "BearNotes donation fund"Dear Student,
The recent tsunami in SE Asia has forever changed the lives of millions of people. The number dead has been reported to equal the population of the Springfield metropolitan area. As students at SMS, we now have the opportunity and obligation to put our Public Affairs mission into action to help those affected by this tragedy. Your Student Government Association challenges you to do your part in raising funds to meet a campus-wide goal of $20,000 by Valentine’s Day. We commend the actions of the organizations that have already engaged in fundraising efforts and strongly encourage other organizations, as well as individual students, to join the effort. We encourage you to take the initiative to raise donations and participate in other students’ projects.
Share your love this Valentine’s Day. If you will tell us the amount raised by your group, we will make paper hearts that will be displayed in the Student Union with your organization’s total donation. SGA will serve as the coordinator of campus efforts to spread the word about your projects and your progress in raising the money. We encourage friendly competition among the various organizations and individuals in your fundraising efforts. The SGA website, www.sga.smsu.edu , will provide updated information about this project. It is the responsibility of your organization or individual group to collect and account for the money and send the donation to any charitable organization involved with the tsunami relief effort.
To describe our shared effort, we simply ask that you report your final totals collected to Tami Sutton in the Assistant to the Presidents Office at the address below. For additional information about this campus-wide project, please contact Shannon O’Hagan at the email address provided below. We are confident in our abilities as SMS students to reach our goal of $20,000. Thank you for your involvement with this project.
Sincerely,
Student Government Association
I will not put any income taken towards anything other than this campus wide effort. No "All proceeds (after I use it to pay for my servers and a little for myself). . . " here. This is just an offer to anyone that may want to contribute. If you wish to contribute personally, or through an official organization, or even use the money to pay for your own dinner and books first (hey, we can't take care of others if we don't first take care of ourselves!), then that is also great. I just wanted to put the idea on the table.
As a bonus, any donator of $2.68 or more can gain a custom title for your account. Limitations are that you cannot imply a position of authority that you do not hold, and I have the final say over wether your title is appropriate or not. If you wish to check possible titles before donating, PM me what you would like and I will tell you wether it would be accepted.
In addition, Sam has 3 medium and 2 XL "Go Roman - Bearnotes.com" T-shirts left. Any user donating $20 or more will receive one of these free of charge while supplies last.
Paypal payments can be made to Paco103@hotmail.com. Include in your note your BN userID to receive credit.
To pay by cash or check please PM me to make arrangements, or stop by the Cheek Lab Help Desk on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Once we get some donations, we can decide together what charity to give to. I can even start a poll to help us decide.
