We will be hosting a LEAD event. The event will be a dinner and a movie. The movie will be, "The Burning Bed," which discusses a domestic violence case. The dinner will be provided by Tucker through a meal exchange. We are hoping to hold this event in Burton 006 around 7pm. I will be asking for some volunteers to help. I will keep you all updated.

We are also looking into going to Mo Girls Town to do some fun holiday themed activities with them once a month. Mallory, please let me know when you talk to them and see what they would like to do.

November...

We will be hosting a second LEAD event. The event will be a clothing/accessories drive. Students must bring in at least one item to receive a point. Not sure yet where to have this event, I'll have to see what rooms are available this month. I'll keep you updated.

We will be adopting a family this Christmas. Elizabeth, could you let me know where I can find a family for this project.

The next meeting, in a few weeks,will be during lunch on a Monday. I will let you know where and when the meeting will be held.

Thanks to all who are helping put these events and projects together!
