We hope you all enjoyed our first GBM as much as we did! The H.E.R.O. mission means a lot to us and we are so glad that we got to share it with you.
To recap the meeting:
1. The Points System
All members of our organization must earn six or more points throughout the semester. One point will be awarded for each meeting you attend, each volunteer activity you attend, and if you contribute to our supply drives. Earning the required six points will allow you to apply for our mission trips. To be considered a competitive applicant, you may want to surpass the six points.
2. Membership Dues
All members of our organization must also pay dues. Dues are $35.00 for the entire year, this covers both the fall and spring semester. Dues help us to pay for your club shirts, social events, and occasional meetings where we provide food and refreshments. You must have your dues paid to apply for our mission trips as well.
3. Volunteer Opportunity
We will be participating in an ocean cleanup event at Bald Point State Park on Saturday, September 21st. The cleanup begins at 8:30AM and is about an hour away from Tallahassee. We will be meeting outside of the College of Medicine at 7:00AM to organize carpooling arrangements. Participation in this event will earn you one point. You can sign up for this event here.
4. Disaster Relief Donations
At our next two general body meetings, we will be collecting nonperishable food items for victims of natural disasters, such as Hurricane Michael and Hurricane Dorian. If you donate three or more nonperishable food items, you will be awarded one point. You may donate more than three items, but we cannot award more than one point for your acts of generosity. You may also make monetary donations, a donation of $5.00 or more will also earn you one point.
Lastly, our next general body meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 18th at 7:00PM in SSB 201. If you were unable to make it to the last meeting, SSB is the building attached to the Traditions parking garage on the FSU campus. After the meeting, we will be going to Chipotle on West Tennessee Street for dinner. We hope you all will come so that we can get to know one another better!
We can't wait to see you all again!
