Happy Halloween!

Hi all...

The month of October is fairly slow for us. We are planning at the moment on doing just one small event such as passing out condoms instead of candy to Drury Students. We figured this would be a great way of making condoms seem like less of a big deal, and each student's identity would be concealed, considering everyone will have amazing costumes! This allows for confidentiality as well as helping out the campus for their needs on a night that is notorious for midnight rendezvous.

In other news, November is a exciting month for us. We are planning all kinds of fun adventures such as a Juno night at the Lay Auditorium and teaming up with the V-Warriors and Allies in order to promote safe sex through art. We will put big tarps in the ballroom with paint, condoms, dental dams, lube, and other prevention items to make art with. The overall goal of this event is to reduce the stigma of using protection as well as having fun with certain items that may seem taboo. We are all really excited about these upcoming events.

On a side note, we have had two of the four bikes on our front porch stolen, and one was locked. What a terrible neighborhood! As a Summit family we are very disappointed in the caliber of morals (or lack thereof) in the surrounding area of Springfield. This is just a reminder to all the other college students out there who are naive and trusting - put your bike inside! Lock up your valuables! We have also had a BOX OF CONDOMS STOLEN OFF OUR FRONT PORCH!!!! This was sent to us from Planned Parenthood to give out to campus, and taken right from under our noses. My only hope is that the person who stole them is using them wisely.

Have a very Happy Halloween!

Be safe!
