Meeting Details from 9/18/06

Hello, yesterday we had our first OceanS.A.F.E. meeting. We met some of the members and discussed ways to increase our membership. We currently have 28 members on the email list and are looking to expand this number greatly. The next meeting we will be discussing membership and officer descriptions. If you are intersted in being an officer, please attend the next meeting to find out more. After that, the first meeting of every month, we will be voting on our outreach event of the month as well as our volunteer activity. Outreach events consist of issues such as overfishing, pollution, captivity issues, etc... and will involve the group getting info. out about these concerns. Our volunteer activity will be more hands on and will include things like canoe cleanups, adopt a creek cleanups, Barton Springs outreach, etc...the volunteer event will always take place at the end of the month. The two meetings in between outreach voting and our volunteer activity will be focused on making resources to educate the public...t-shirts, signs, buttons, etc...and also guest speakers. So everything went well and we hope to see everyone at the next meeting.
