Yesterday one of my friends said she saw me in the school's bulletin. I looked at it. Might as well copy it for memory sake. I asked her not to put 'me' in the bulletin; just the peace conference, but whatever. This is what she covered:
New Campus Group Focuses on Peace
Kelley Glenn, a Political Science major, attended the Student Peace Alliance National Conference 2007, “Our Generation Calls for Peace,” Oct. 19 to 21 in Waltham, Mass. “Over the summer, I joined the Roosevelt Institution Student Think Tank and started the first chapter at Arcadia University, which we call RICA (the Roosevelt Institution of Arcadia University),” Glenn notes. “Students associated with the Roosevelt Institution from another campus have created this National Conference.” The conference speakers included Betty Williams, Arun Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi's grandson), Trish Jones and Will Spencer.
“I am going because it is necessary for students to care. So often people complain without any intention of creating solutions. This conference will allow student attendees to attend a series of speeches about nonviolence, create some form of solution for current affairs and address the issue of the HR 808 Bill (the House bill to establish a U.S. Department of Peace).”
No one reads this, except my friend, haha. I should write a detailed review of the notes I took and engage people to give me ideas--this is worse than pulling teeth. I think one of my friends blocked emails from me through facebook since she said she would if she got too many.
Success? Not so much. Trying.

Brainstorms:
* Membership: interest for now. free.
* Fundraising: I don't think this is needed.
* Press & Communications: I contacted AUTV about showing ads for RICA Student Think Tank. The Arc has agreed that we can cover the Student Peace Conference but there are DJs playing during the "live" time so I'll call the DJs who volunteer to broadcast on the air with the details from all speeches. We need individuals to write opinion editorials or write a little clip for The Tower newspaper, or even Glenside News.
* Policy Efforts: None thus far. Ideas?
* General Activities: None thus far.
* Advisers: Dr. Thompson (Dr. Bob)
* Projects: Concentrating on the 3 Challenges, local bills--getting signatures for petitions, and am open to Women Studies discussions.
My friends Kai and Patrick have been sending a job opening request for AAM (America Abroad Media) and their list of responsibilities will almost match up identically to what RICA will be doing. I just remembered I was human again and I don't have super powers, just super hearing according to doctors. So, because I am human, I have a list of responsibilities that I may delegate. Look below and find your niche.
Responsibilities for RICA:
§ Manage quarterly mailings and maintain contact lists
§ Reach out to online community through e-newsletters
§ Prepare marketing materials, and attend educational conferences to distribute "The Roosevelt Hour" radio programming to academic world
§ Help with coordination of town hall and television events
