Recap of S.A.F.E.Oceans Meeting (01/29/08)

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to give ya'll a quick recap of the meeting yesterday. See below for important events and dates!

1.) We are working on a research project this semester in Port Aransas. This can be for upper division credit if you participate. To get credit, you must make 3 trips to Port Aransas and help make a poster presentation/slideshow for the results. The dates for February will most likely be the weekend of (8-10). We would leave late Friday night and come back Sun. afternoon. The dates for March are (1-2), (28-30). We will have more details of this trip when it gets closer. I just want people to take note of the dates to see if they are available...so check out your calendars and send me an email with availability.

2.) Canoe Cleanup at Town Lake will be Sun., Feb. 17th from 9-12 noon. This is our volunteer event for Feb.

3.) Also, I want to try and keep our weekly meetings at Austin's Pizza (on the drag). It went over very well this week and I think it puts everyone more at ease...so let me know if this works for you.

4.) Earth Day is April 22nd...we should do something for this to demonstrate ocean conservation!

5.) We also want to continue to work on our seafood phamplet ( we will discuss this next week)

I think that's about it...just check out the Port Aransas dates and let me know. If you don't want credit but just want to go, that is fine as well...just let me know which time(s) you want to go.

Ok, let me know if you guys have any questions and I will see you next Monday at Austin's Pizza at 6:00pm!

First S.A.F.E.Oceans Meeting Tomorrow!

Hello Everyone!
We will be having our first meeting tomorrow (Tues. 01/29/08) at Austin's Pizza on the drag from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Normally, meetings will be held every Monday from 6-7pm in the Union, but we had to move this day around due to last minute unavailability of some people. This will be a much more causal way of meeting and we will be able to eat and drink during the meeting which is way better! We will be setting up the schedule and expectations for the group as well as discussing our project and travel to Port Aransas this semester. We will also be discussing our organization positions and what is expected of those positions for those who are interested. Ok, please email me with any questions and hopefully I will see you all tomorrow!

Welcome Back S.A.F.E.Oceans!!!

Hey Everyone!!! Hope you all enjoyed your break. We are off to a fresh start this semester. We will be focusing on outreach and our project in Port Aransas this semester. We will be going down to Port A no less than 3 times this spring and will be doing research on the wetlands center there. I want to make sure that we also get other opportunities to do other outreach projects as well. We did not get to do as much last semester and I want to start this semester off with lots of suggestions. We will also be focusing on recruitment; so please bring your ideas to the first meeting. Our first meeting will be held on Jan. 21st. Hopefully, we will be in the same location. I just sent the request out so I will let you guys know ahead of time. I might have to alert everyone via the website and facebook until I get a consolidation of email addresses...my laptop got stolen last semester so all my addresses are gone...not to worry though, I got a new macbook for Xmas so it's not so bad :) Anyway, enjoy the last few days of your break and I will see everyone in a couple of weekS!! ~AMI
