3/2/20 WinS Meeting

· Ideas from Member Surveys

o bake sale

o beach cleanup

o collaborations with other clubs

o internship/scholarship/job workshops or opportunities

o volunteering at local high schools

· Member-led Club Projects

o Should we do groups or function as a whole club as we have been doing?

- Majority felt that splitting into groups/teams for outreach and fundraising/charity events, we would be able to cover more ground

· Outreach

o Schools we would like to visit:

- Dozier Libby (Diana Ramos’ contact)

- Antioch High School (Jetzi Guzman’s contact)

- Pittsburg High School (Mae Mercado’s contact)

o Contact these teachers and see if they are interested in having WinS as guest speakers

· Club Donation to MESA

o WinS would like to donate something to MESA to have a lasting impact

o Ideas:

-GRE Prep Books

· Fundraisers

o How?

- Hopefully, we will be able to find a way to do restaurant fundraisers again

- due to changes in tax forms for clubs to verify themselves as a credible organization, this is on hold for now.

- Continuing with goggle sales

- Bake sale

- Selling Krispy Kreme Donuts and Coffee during midterm weeks

- Volunteer tips for LMC Classified Senate Crab Feed go to club (Mar. 14th, @ 5pm at LMC; volunteers must be 21+ to be servers at this event; email me if you are interested)

o What for?

- Shepherd’s Gate

- Maybe retirement homes

· Club Trips

o Generation Sci at Stanford

- Majority of members prefer carpooling over having a bus for transportation; yet to be confirmed

- Sign-ups are open!

o UC Berkeley Trip

- Opportunity to tour UC Berkeley and the private research museums (Vertebrate Zoology, Entomology, and Archaeology) with Larry (the fossil guy)

· Collabs with Other Clubs

o Collab with Umoja in the works

- considering having a guest speaker (Lucretia Shaw) and a panel of Black and African American women in STEM

o Collab with Astro Club

- helping out with Astro Club’s planetarium presentation

o All-STEM Club trip to SF Academy of Sciences or Exploratorium or beach clean up day trip? (we’ll have to see if this is doable)
