What's Next?

Where did all SID's money go from Food Fest?

Have you been wondering? I know I have!

We currently have about $800 collected. What do YOU think we should do with our funds? Keep this in mind, as come Fall 2010 we will be prepared to put our earnings into the hands of those who need it most.

Big Hit

The crew at Food Fest, Winter 2010 was a blast.

The chocolate covered bananas were also delicious, and I'm pretty sure we did a decent job on getting some moneys to donate.

Little Katie...just hanging out in the tent. Good girl.

It was a beautiful day and evening, guys.

Thanks everybody from SID club who came out and volunteered your time to support the cause!

We'll see how we did as far as dollar signs go, soon!

THANK YOU!

Food Fest Prep

Yesterday, Wednesday night, we got together as a club to do a little service activity for locals in the community. We discussed Food Fest and made care packages to deliver to random people, with friendly love notes to spread a message of peace and love to those around us.

Big thank you for all who came to the activity, and for helping us out! I'm sure the people will LOVE what they got at their doorstep!

All I can say is if I got this at my front door, I'd be STOKED!!!!!

Sweet girls working together to paint our signs for Food Fest.

Courtney was totally in the zone, and we can all conclude that she is a fabulous banana-maker with a true vision of what a banana should look like. She did an awesome job, thanks girl!

Little Amanda, ohhhh she's too cute!

Clark, the man, the e-mailer and notifier of the club. He did an AWESOME job painting the sign that will be at our booth. Check out that handwriting.

If you haven't heard already, we're selling frozen bananas dipped in chocolate. YUM YUM YUM. SOOOO GOOD!!!!! They will be selling for 5 tickets, which is about $2.50.

Hope for the best success in sales, so we can send our help to countries and people in need!

Katie and I came up with the brilliant idea to give our bananas wiggly eyes, because they're so so so cute. Wouldn't you agree?

When I was walking home, I snapped this picture. My hand jiggled, so it's blurry...but I REALLY like it!

Til next time, see you next week as we prep even more for Food Fest! Keep your eyes peeled for emails & check back here frequently.

Ciao.

PEACE is the way

What: Inspirational information about someone making a difference internationally

Where: OLD GYM ROOM 144

When: Thursday (Tomorrow) Feb. 4th 3:40 PM

Why: because this lady lives what Students for International Development want to do

Liz Shropshire, Tuesday's campus devotional speaker, will be visiting Chad Ford's class to further enlighten and inspire BYUH students on Thursday Feb. 4th, at 3:40 in Old Gym classroom 144. You're welcome to come sit in if you're interested in hearing more from her on her efforts to teach children the value of love and peace through instruments and song. She's been instrumental in building her grassroots humanitarian arts movement through music education and performance programs. Join in!

The white girl pictured here is ME, Kylie, the author of this blog and publicity girl for SID club. I had the opportunity to help little children in Cambodia with things like gardening and playing sports, and like Liz who promotes music for peace...so can you!

PS...Don't forget about our activity tonight at 7:00PM at the Aloha Center! (refer to the email you got yesterday for more deets)

Activity Alert!

WEDNESDAY Feb 3, 7:00pm - 8:00pm, ACR 136

Come to the Aloha Center and get to know some fellow SID club members while

we prepare for Food Fest and make packages for community members!

There will be some delicious food there too, YAY!

The activity will have two purposes:

1. Our first community outreach

We'll be making anonymous packages of candy, fruit, chocolate, and gift cards that will be dropped off at random doorsteps around Laie with "neighborly" notes attached. A small outreach, yes, but still effective... and a good start!

2. Food Fest prep

Some of us will be cutting and preparing poster boards for Food Fest

The Night Has Come

Aloha SID members,

Our opening social will be tomorrow, Wednesday Jan.

27th, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm at the BYUH BBQ area

(behind the cafeteria)

We'll be barbecuing Shish Kabobs as we

plan for Food Fest, our t-shirt designs, and activities.

Ideas that have been suggested so far are:

Art Exchange,

Host an "Music for Peace" open mic night,

and Paint a peace mural

We need your ideas at this opening social so we can decide as a club!

It will be very low-key and relaxing, a simple activity to get us together for the first time to discuss the semester.

See you there!

WELCOME 2010!

Students for International Development

welcomes you to a NEW semester!
