Meeting Overview – January 17th, 2006
We had a great meeting this past Tuesday. We spent out time
together developing a strategy to connect and stay connected with area
young ladies. I am pleased to announce that we have a sound plan of
action for this semester that I think will really work.
First up, we decided that we need to interact with more high
school/middle school aged young ladies. To that end, Ashley Hurley and
Takiyah Abdul-Malik are going to work on making pluggers to be
distributed throughout the area middle and high schools to attract more
young women.
Secondly, we felt that we should have activities with these
ladies in place of actual Circle meetings. We also thought that
activities should not be on school nights. As a result, we have
with a revised schedule for the rest of the semester. TAKE NOTE

Activity nights will be held in the Sloss House. We will still have
regular meetings, just fewer of them.
On activity Fridays/Saturdays, we chose to involve ourselves in
stimulating activities for all ages (as you know we had quite a few
small girls). Activity ideas include: bowling, coloring/crafts, movie
night, board games, step show*, black culture museum*, and baking
cookies and other goodies. In addition, Aisha is looking into the
possibility that we could take some of the ladies to the NSBE (National
Society of Black Engineers) Middle School Science Expo on Saturday,
February 18th. (*permission slips needed for all trips)
The activities are not specific to certain dates, save for the
museum fieldtrip March 25th, and craft night on February 3rd. We will
solidify other date activities as they come up. For now, mark you
calendars for Craft night Friday, February 3rd at 6pm - 8pm. Craft
night will be facilitated by Tiffany Smith.
Thank you.
