ProblemsSo we need…… more

group participation.

Waning overall interest

SOM:

…nothing.NoneMotorola

teleconference, open lines

of communicati

on.

No encounters, no communicatio

n line established,

no liaison for a long time, little group interest (no

nukies)

October 31st build day and future build days (next semester)

Problems We’ve Run Into

General lack of enthusiasmFew actual service events in the fall

Habitat build dates are in late fall and into next year

Science Olympiad group volunteer sign-ups are early next year

What We Plan to DoJump into both service projects in the

upcoming semesterMake service projects fun by partnering with

other university groupsTake only small, interested groups of people

as opposed to entire AED group Smaller groups are more enthusiastic and are

easier to work with
