No Way! November

The great month of October has been mildly inactive as far as Panthers for Planned Parenthood has gone. We've taken some time to talk with our advisor as well as to meet with our Planned Parenthood liaison Crystal. She was nice enough to throw together a care package for us with condoms to hand out, petitions on birth control to have people sign, signs to hang up announcing planned parenthoods involvement on campus as well as sparkly pink planned parenthood t-shirts so that we could represent.

However.... We've been having difficulty with the community around us and two of our house members bike's (including mine) were stolen from our porch along with the package from Crystal. She announced she had left it on our porch and an hour later when we got back from classes it was gone.

So we shall go to her next time in order to prevent interference.

With that said we've made great headway on the month of November so we can stay active on campus. Teaming up with the V Warriors as well as Allies on the tentative dates of November 15 through 18 in order to promote safe sex through artwork. Our plan is for our house to create some fun art pieces using condoms and paint and dental dams and lube and to promote people to take condoms from us to create their own art and take pictures with them. This will prevent people from becoming embarrassed by taking condoms from our table when people are watching because they can say that it is for the sake of ART!

We'll make sure to post some of those pictures in November when we've made our artwork. Also we'll attach our Juno night onto the end of this week and probably do some promotion for signing the birth control petitions that planned parenthood is collecting to send to our senators.

As far as October goes, you need not worry! We're planning some safe sex fun for the weekend of Halloween. Currently we're throwing around ideas of hiding condoms for people to seek out as well as trick or treat fun at the Planned Parenthood house, so watch out for that post and some possible e-mails we may send your way.

Happy Fall Break Everyone!
