	February 15, 2025 at 9:05 PM	Approved	National DO Day of Service- Spring Celebration	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	02/15/2025	04/12/2025	Purpose: This event is to create a volunteer opportunity for LECOM students to serve their community, specifically the residents at the LECOM Senior Living Center. We also will be using this opportunity to participate in National DO Day of Service. Location: LECOM Senior Living Center (5535 Peach Street Erie, PA 16509) We will be using the common cafeteria area. Tables and Chairs will be provided by the facility. Schedule: 12pm-1pm Setup 1pm-3pm Event with residents 1-2pm West Side Residents 2-3pm East Side Residents 3pm-3:30pm Cleanup Event Plan: We will be participating in different group activities with the residents. There will be stations that the residents will participate in and move throughout. The group activities include arts and crafts, nail painting, card games and a snack station. We will be buying pre-packaged snack items including novelty ice-cream, cupcakes, pre-packed water and juice. The facility will provide popcorn and puff corn for those that have swallowing issues. We will be bringing some spring decoration such as flower patterned tablecloth and flower patterned paper plates/napkins. Due to the size of the venue and the high number of residents, we will separate the residents into two waves based on location and their lunch time. The first wave will be the West Side, and the second wave will be the East Side. We will be opening the event to the DO students to come and volunteer. There will be four different shifts available; set up, the first wave of residents, the second wave of residents and clean-up. SGA will be there to facilitate the event with Dr. Melodie. We are hoping for enough students to create a buddy system with the residents to help with the transporting of the residents from place to place and to ensure that each resident is looked after and interacted with. For those that are not able to participate in the Spring Celebration Event – students can come into the OPP lab April 11th to make Spring cards for the residents and SGA will bring them to the event.
	June 12, 2023 at 2:00 PM	Expired	Anki Clinic	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	06/12/2023	07/20/2023	Purpose: Anki is flashcard service that many utilize during medical school. The flashcard service is free to use and utilizes a technique called spaced repetition to help students learn and reinforce material. Despite flashcards being common in undergraduate, Anki is not heavily utilized until medical school. The purpose of this clinic is to teach any student the basic ins and outs of the flashcard service. I believe this will be an invaluable resource because many students may try using Anki when medical school starts; however, it takes time to actually learn how the system works. By giving them a preface on how to use the system, it means less of their time will be used on learning the system when the semester started. To lead this clinic, I have contacted Sam Wlasowicz a current OMS-IV. He won the Mr. Anki award 3 years ago, and has already led an Anki Clinic before with some success. I have already talked with him about what I would like him to focus on: basic use of Anki, different styles of Anki (cloze function vs. image occlusion vs. simple flashcards), etc. Funding: None Needed Timeline: I have already contacted Sam several times to ensure he has everything he needs, but I will contact him a week before the event to sure everything is okay. On the day of the event, I will start the Zoom meeting at 6:45 PM and the event will start promptly at 7:00. The clinic should take no longer than an hour to an hour and a half. No clean-up time is needed as the event is over Zoom.
	September 15, 2023 at 10:55 AM	Approved	Letters for Veterans	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	09/15/2023	10/31/2023	Purpose: We would like to hold a service event for Veterans Day.
