TERRA meeting notes #1

From Margi based on our last meeting! Next post will be the notes and minutes from our meeting on 2-12. And a big thanks for those who came to my chapel service two weeks ago!

For those of you who do not know what TERRA week is, we have decided to make a whole week of education, making t-shirts, raising awareness of eco-theology and what TERRA is all about.

Hi everyone! As you know, TERRA week is coming up very soon (March 4-6)!! That means we have to get everything ready asap. At yesterday's meetings, we divided up the tasks that need to be accomplished for TERRA week to happen. If you have not signed up to help with something and you would like to, just email/speak to the person(s) already working on that task. And, if you need help with a task, don't hesitate to ask! Also, we will need to take turns sitting at the table during the event. Just to remind you, we'll be tabling from 10am-2pm and from 5:30-7:30 pm on Tuesday thru Thursday in Sem Hall. Please try to sign up for at least one hour, or more if you're able. To sign up for a time slot, email Drea at anelson@drew.edu.
