It's getting closer...

We are starting to organize our forum. Today in class we handed out jobs for each class member. We decided what nut-free samples we are providing. We will have the petition there for community members to attend. We also finalized our letters that we are sending out. We presented them in class today and need Prof. Herrmeyer to ok them before they are sent.

Please feel free to give comments and suggestions! We are more thant willing to listen and take them into consideration.

This Week...

I hope everyone is doing well!

Just wanted to fill you in on what has been happening. We have all been busy working on the letters that we are going to send to schools, political offices, and community businesses asking for help/support in our cause. We will be sending those out next week some time. We are also monitoring our social networks. The class has been busy handing out flyers for our forum which again is November 19, 2009, at the Waverly Public Library starting at 6:30pm with some nut-free food samples.

Please tell all that you know about this so we can answer people's questions and inform them of this cause. Also, please, please, pleas let us know if you have any suggestions or comments for us.

Thanks for your support!

Update

Some of the school group went to the Waverly-Shell Rock School Board meeting last night. We went to tell the board about what we are doing and why. We shared our petition and information about the forum that will be on Monday, November 16, 2009 at the Waverly Public Library from 6:30pm to 8pm.

If you have a Facebook account, join the group Nut Allergy Awareness. It gives a description of our class project and what we are doing.
