	February 11, 2023 at 9:25 PM	Approved	Tyler Dobratz	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	02/11/2023	04/01/2023	Time & Date: 10:30pm -3:30pm (30 min set up, two 2 hour volunteer shifts, 30 min clean up) – per adjustments with Dr. Shabloski set up and clean up times have been cut in half April 1, 2023 Location: LECOM West Garage/Loading Bay (same as last year) Description: We are excited to organize an event with Food for Kidz who we worked with last year! Food for Kidz is an awesome organization that helps groups of all sizes set up mobile food packing events to help address and fight hunger around the world. On their website, they have a detailed packet of all instructions and recommendations to set up an event and this packet is attached with this description. In summary, Food for Kidz will deliver the dried food in bulk and all of the equipment needed to set up packing stations. SGA members will arrive when the truck arrives to start setting up and the first shift of volunteers will help set up anything else we need help with. Volunteers then work in teams to pack individual, sealed, fortified rice-soy protein meal packages. Each of these packages provides six servings. These packages are then packed into boxes (36 packages per box) which will then be sent to a child in need somewhere in the world (last year we were notified that our food was sent to Ukraine!). One box of food will feed a child for approximately 7 months. At the end of the packing session, volunteers will then help load the boxes of packed food and supplies onto the Food for Kidz truck, and the Food for Kidz organization will handle the rest of the distribution and delivery of the food to its destination. Purpose: To provide an opportunity for LECOM to help fight world hunger and volunteer our time to help those in need in our world, and to foster the caring and giving attitude embedded in LECOM’s mission and the foundations of osteopathic care. We hope to hold this event as a large volunteer opportunity open to all LECOM students, that encourages students from all disciplines, pathways, and clubs to work together and get to know each other outside of the classroom or otherwise defined roles within other groups/clubs. Volunteers: Open to all LECOM students, students will sign up on a google sheet in advance which will be limited to approximately 200 packing shifts total. This year, the sheet will have slots separated by each of the five packing tables to ensure volunteers spread out and fill each table evenly. Similarly, less staging/box assembly/loading shift volunteers will be available as discussed with Dr. Shabloski. Please see google sheet example from last year below for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1smdm2KuW2hFjxWuJLnEqmc31rrsIVpk5v3corD4BUEM/edit#gid=0 In addition, as discussed with Dr. Shabloski, we will make a brief powerpoint for volunteers to review prior to coming to their shift, which will outline the steps and roles at each table. This will ensure volunteers will arrive ready to start packing and will not need too much coaching prior to getting started. Funding: Last year we packed nearly 42,000 meals, at 216 meals per box and 194 boxes, priced at ~$36 per box. This equates to a $7000 donation from SGA funds. We plan to stick with this packing amount as our goal, and the $7000 will again come from SGA funds. Additionally 12 tables and 8 folding chairs will be rented from Crazy Monkey in Erie who will deliver and pick up the tables and chairs. This will allow us to form five tables of two for each packing station (one more than last year), one table for check in, and one table for the loading and box making area, with the chairs for check in and one for each station. This will cost approximately $110.80 per the Crazy Monkey website, which will also come from SGA funds. Covid Protocol: All attendees will be required to follow current LECOM masking protocols for the entirety of their time volunteering. Attendees will follow all guidelines for exposure and symptoms as outlined in the portal screening form. Hand sanitizer will be provided. Students who are actively packing at the stations will be required to wear hair nets as well.
	February 15, 2024 at 1:52 PM	Approved	Food For Kids Event	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	02/15/2024	04/20/2024	Time & Date: April 20, 2024, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The event consists of a 30-minute setup, followed by two volunteer shifts lasting 2 hours each, and concludes with a 30-minute cleanup. We will be collaborating with Radiology Club to assist us in set up and clean up. Location: Garage West Building Event Overview: To make a strong event for National DO day, we're thrilled to team up again with Food for Kidz, a remarkable organization committed to combating global hunger. They assist groups in hosting mobile food packing events. A comprehensive guide for event organization is available on their website and attached here for reference. In a nutshell, Food for Kidz will supply the dried food and necessary equipment for packing. Our SGA members and Radiology Club members will begin the setup upon the truck's arrival. Volunteers will then form teams to pack rice-soy protein meal packages, each containing six servings. These packages are placed in boxes (36 packages per box), which are sent globally to children in need. For context, our last contribution went to Ukraine. Remarkably, a single box can sustain a child for about 7 months. The event wraps up with volunteers assisting in loading the packed food onto the Food for Kidz truck. The organization then manages the distribution and delivery. Objective: Our aim is to align with LECOM's mission and the principles of osteopathic care by offering an avenue for students to combat global hunger and serve the less fortunate. This event, open to all LECOM students, fosters collaboration and camaraderie, transcending typical academic or group affiliations. Volunteer Info: All LECOM students can participate, with sign-ups facilitated through a Google sheet capped at around 200 packing shifts. To optimize distribution, slots are categorized by packing tables. We will ensure that students will only be designated to the location they are assigned too so that there is less confusion like there was last year. Additionally, a concise PowerPoint will be shared with volunteers to familiarize them with the packing process, ensuring efficiency upon arrival. Budget: Last year's efforts resulted in approximately 42,000 meals, encompassing 194 boxes at around $36 per box, which translated to a $5000 donation from SGA funds. We intend to maintain this benchmark. Furthermore, 12 tables and 8 chairs will be sourced from Crazy Monkey in Erie for roughly $554.91, as listed on their website. These expenses will be covered by SGA funds. Safety Protocols: Participants must adhere to LECOM's prevailing mask guidelines throughout the event. They should also abide by exposure and symptom criteria as specified in the portal screening form. Sanitizers will be accessible, and those packing will be required to wear hair nets.

	September 6, 2022 at 4:23 PM	Approved	September Meeting	SAOAO	09/06/2022	09/28/2022	This will be the monthly meeting for the SAOAO. This meeting will be focused around what is expected of medical students while they are rotating in orthopedics. I will have Dr. Bryan Anderson talking to the group about what he believes is important for medical students to know and do when they are on an orthopedic rotation to really stand out and make good impressions. Dr. Anderson is the Chief Resident under Dr. Tuck and has also given several of the MSK system lectures so his input is seen as being invaluable on what a resident is looking for a medical student to do to make a good impression during an orthopedic rotation. This is planned to be an in person meeting at Bethel Church at 6pm on 9/28/22. If this location is not available then this meeting will move to zoom at the same time and date COVID-19 Risk Control: While this is going to be held indoors the students will be asked to wear masks and there will be 4 people per table to insure that there is enough space between each student to minimize the risk.
	March 30, 2022 at 4:09 PM	Rejected	Ukraine Strong	Womens Health Club	03/30/2022	04/30/2022	This will be our third event of the semester. In an effort to support the people of Ukraine, the WHC e-board members will lead a workout for LECOM students at the Wellness Center parking lot on Saturday, April 30th at 11am. The event will be advertised as "Ukraine Strong". WHC board members will coordinate a body-pump exercise circuit to music, and lead participants through the workout for 45 minutes. Each participant will be asked to donate $10, and all proceeds will be given to 'Doctor's Without Boarders' in LECOM's name. This organization provides medical relief and responds quickly to crises around the globe, currently including Ukraine, Haiti, and Yemen. Although they cannot earmark donations for a specific location, we can choose to earmark ours for "Emergency Relief", helping those in dire need. A spreadsheet will be sent to the student body to 'sign up' for the event so we account for how many people will be attending. Money will be collected via cash on the day of the event. We think this will be a great way for WHC to bring together the LECOM community for a healthy study break and to support the health of women and children around the globe.
