February 27, 2019 at 4:39 PMCancelledJaci SummersSOMA02/27/201903/07/2019This is a follow up proposal for my International Health Disparities project which I've been elected to complete for SOMA class of 2021. I'd like to nominate our support for International Rescue Committee. This organization is very well known and has been around for quite some time. They are based out of New York and they have received 4 stars from Charity Navigator. Their primary goal is to respond to humanitarian crises all over the world as well as in the U.S, including bringing primary care to refugees and at risk populations. Here is the website if you would like further information: https://www.rescue.org/what-we-do. This organization spends 89% of its budget on programs, which mean the majority of our funds raised for them will go to helping people in need. I would still like to use the coffee fundraiser as mentioned before from Jo Coffee, since we will be getting 42% of sales toward our fundraiser. Other fundraisers I've looked into do not offer this much turn around on sales. Once the orders are finished being placed, I would submit the order and then the coffee would be delivered to LECOM for me to distribute to students who have purchased. Then once LECOM has recieved the fundraiser check from the coffee company we can easily make the payment to IRC online. Please let me know if there is anything I can clarify and I welcome any feedback on this project. Thank you for considering my request.
April 18, 2025 at 1:08 PMCancelledColor & ChillMental Health Task Force04/18/202505/12/2025This event will offer students a creative and relaxing break during the week leading up to finals. From May 12th to May 16th, coloring books and a variety of coloring supplies (crayons, markers, colored pencils) will be available in the cafeteria for anyone who needs a quick mental reset. The goal is to promote mindfulness and provide a low-pressure outlet for stress relief during a high-stress time. This initiative is designed to support student well-being and aligns with our holistic approach to health and wellness. The supplies will be monitored and restocked daily to ensure the area remains inviting, organized, and fully stocked for all students.

This event is to join with other people throughout Erie county to clean up Presque Isle State Park. This is an opportunity to get volunteer hours cleaning up the beaches. This event is being coordinated through Lynn Armel from the Erie County Department of Planning & Community Development. They have assigned our group to meet at the East Ave. Boat Ramp on East Ave., Erie, PA, 16507 Cleaning supplies are being provided by Erie County. COVID-19 Mitigation : This event will be outdoors and students will be provided with gloves to limit risk of infection from items picked up and working with others. Students will also be asked to wear masks while at this event.
July 27, 2022 at 7:53 PMCancelledBig TrainingSOMA07/27/202209/09/2022This event has already been discussed with Dr. Lee and Dr. Thielman! As requested by Dr. Ferretti, we will be having a mandatory training for anyone who was selected as a Big for SOMA's Big/Little program. We will have Dr. Kevin Klauer give a talk for the first hour (a separate event request has been submitted for this!), and then we will take the second hour (this event request) to cover the overview of the Big program. We will be instructing Bigs on what to do and what not to do, what advice to share with their littles, and what topics to avoid as they are out of our scope as Bigs. The agenda for the meeting will be developed with Dr. Lee, who will be in attendance for the training to ensure we have appropriate faculty oversight. We feel this is an important event to have in person, which is why we have requested reserving Lecture Hall D. We will require all attendees to wear masks, and will practice appropriate social distancing, and follow all other COVID protocols. Attendance will be taken, and a post-event recap will be sent to Dr. Shabloski when the event is complete.

We want to give the members of the club a chance to meet each other and play a game of whiffle ball. We also want to discuss and gauge interest in the ideas we had for future events this semester. We also plan on ordering pizza for the event.
September 1, 2022 at 2:08 PMCancelledDaniel RabeLECOM Military Medicine Club09/01/202209/15/2022The Soldier and Sailors Home (military retirement home) located at 560 E 3rd St, Erie, PA 16507 has requested assistance on the evening of 9/15/22 to hold a campfire at their location for the residents. We have been requested to help transport residents in wheelchairs from the building to the campfire (on site), cook hot dogs and s'mores, and return residents back to the building after the event ends. No more than 10 volunteers are needed. RSVPs and Covid vaccine documentation will be sent to lecom.militarymedicine@gmail.com prior to event. COVID Policy: All volunteers, staff, and residents are to wear masks at all times other than eating. All parties will also show proof of 2 COVID vaccines and a booster. All club members will send said documentation to me, Daniel Rabe, and I will communicate them as necessary to our POC (Ken Vybiral, 814-878-4961, kvybiral@pa.gov)
April 3, 2022 at 2:40 PMCancelledNational Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food DriveClass of 202504/03/202205/14/2022The Second Harvest Food Bank of Erie reached out and wanted volunteers for their National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food drive that is going to take place on May 14th, 2022. This will be the 30th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive where postmen pick up food from all over the city. People usually set out their donations the morning of the event near their mailbox and front door. The Food Bank is looking for volunteers between the hours of 10am-7pm to help with the drive. They’re also looking for some volunteers to be stationed at donation drop off sites located throughout Erie and would assist with loading a semi-truck with incoming donations. I know that COVID restrictions are easing up, but masks will be enforced with unvaccinated individuals, and other precautions will be taken to make sure students can be COVID safe. I know a lot of students really want to be more involved in the community and I think this would be a great idea for students to help the local Erie community and work together with different individuals.

The purpose of this dinner would be to offer a relaxed environment that the current executive board and forum writers could meet with the newly voted executive board and forum writers to foster a seamless transition/changing of the guard. At this dinner, new ideas for the 2024-2025 academic year will be discussed, forum writers can work together to share tips on how to lead successful forums and retain members. We would also like to invite several faculty members to this dinner to encourage conversation about osteopathy in practice, tips for board studying and rotations, and convocation preparation. We would like to invite Dr. Stephany, Dr. Erik Esper, Dr. Hendryx, Dr. Balmer, Dr. Cukierkski, Dr. Thomas, Dr. Chludzinski, and Dr. Rowane to name a few. We have 35 members planning on attending convocation in March so this would also be a great way to build excitement for this trip. We are really hoping this dinner can serve as a "Jump Start" to the new year with the new chapter leadership and also jumpstart our trip to Colorado Springs. We are allocating $350 for this dinner to offset costs of food for the members in attendance. Any costs of food over this amount will be assumed by the individuals there in attendance. This dinner will be open to the old and new exec board members, old and new forum writers, and members attending convocation in March.

Furthermore, the mentorship training program fosters a sense of camaraderie, creating a supportive network where 1st year students feel comfortable seeking guidance and mentorship from their more experienced peers.
