These past couple of weeks have been some busy ones for us here at the Planned Parenthood Summit House. So let me run over some of our accomplishments thus far:
Last week the gang headed over to our local Planned Parenthood (located on E Battlefield between National and Campbell) to participate in their monthly volunteers meeting. Here, we were introduced to several of the MSU planned parenthood student group members (they call themselves VOX, Voices for Planned Parenthood), as well as a member of APO and several planned parenthood volunteer coordinators including Crystal, who we've been working with.
At the meeting we discussed our upcoming project with V Warriors and Allies here at Drury tonight which is the Safe Sex Campaign, promoting students to make artwork inspired by safe sexual practices as well as kinky toys. The VOX representatives talked about their upcoming event for World AIDS day which is December 1st. They are having a benefit show on November 30th with the DJ Makout. It will be an 18 and up event that night. APO is also hosting an event on December 1st that will be a candle vigil in founders park from 5-6. There was also a PROMO representative there that talked about their upcoming trivia night that is to happen on December 6th. It will be 50s themed, from 7-9:30 at the Unitarian Church and will cost $15 for an individual and $75 for an 8 person team. They are looking for people to sponsor a round, which last year planned parenthood made a bunch of sex ed questions for a round that didn't count towards the score but the winning team got condoms and other planned parenthood goodies.
World AIDS day is right around the corner and we will be teaming up with Allies and V warriors again to remind you to et yourself tested and practice safe sex.
We also went out and bought some supplies for the safe sex campaign. Friday Night the group got together and made brown paper grab bags with condoms, coupons, and information in them for students to take at the information table.
We've also been busy planning Juno night which due to POL had to be moved to November 29th now. We're throwing around different ideas for food. Some say taco bell, some say sunny D and twizzlers... but we'll just have to see where we end up on that front closer to the date.
As for tonight: we hope to see everyone at our safe sex campaign in the fsc ballroom. There will be music, kinky crafts, sex inspired art, photography, as well as us at the information booth. Drop on in between 6 and 8. Even if you don't want to keep your artwork the V warriors would love it to have on display at their annual production of the Vagina Monologues.
Also stay tuned for our Facebook page to be coming out any day now created by the lovely Kevin Rogan (website designer extrodinare, ect. )
