	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.

	March 14, 2022 at 11:04 AM	Approved	Fighting the Opioid Epidemic	SOMA	03/14/2022	04/28/2022	Idea: SOMA will be hosting a talk by Dr. Richard Morgan, DO who is currently a clinical faculty instructor at the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury, NY. This will be a virtual event through Zoom from 6-7PM EST in which Dr. Morgan will share his experience navigating addiction in the past and his path of recovery. He will share how to understand the signs and symptoms of addiction in health care professionals, and he will make us more aware of the ongoing opioid epidemic. Why: One of the pillars of SOMA’s overdose prevention task force is harm reduction. Harm reduction is a public health tactic that is used to reduce the consequences of drug misuse and overdose. Dr. Morgan will identify these consequences as they relate to opioid use, and how we, as medical students, can take action to fight the growing opioid epidemic in the United States. It will also allow students to ask any questions that they may have regarding this issue.

	March 13, 2022 at 7:35 PM	Cancelled	Fatphobia in Medicine	Mental Health Task Force	03/13/2022	04/13/2022	This will be a MHTF-guided discussion on the impact of weight stigma in medicine and the mental health consequences of that stigma on patients and their health outcomes. We will discuss how fatphobia has impacted us personally and continues to be present in our medical journey, and how that has affected our relationship with medical practitioners and could affect our future patients. Using examples from medical and public health literature, we’ll examine our view of obesity as an epidemic and as a measure of mortality risk, and how that has influenced medical perspectives on weight. We will also discuss the genetic and socioeconomic components of weight, and how those might be barriers to thinness. Finally, we will also brainstorm together how we, as future physicians, can help address fatphobia in our practice and make patients more comfortable, such as asking permission to discuss weight and trusting patients to know their own bodies. Those who participate actively will get a $10 gift card, as this event will be in lieu of the monthly breakfast.
