	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 16, 2023 at 10:51 AM	Approved	Casting Clinic	ACOS-MSS	02/16/2023	02/24/2023	LECOM surgery club is excited to put on a casting clinic with Dr. Drew Miller. This event will give members an opportunity to learn from an orthopedic surgeon how to properly cast. The event will also be extended to the orthopedics club as it is an important skill for them to develop. As a resident at Millcreek Hospital, Dr. Miller is well versed in casting and has previous experience working with medical students. Earlier that day he will be giving the LDP pathway a lecture in casting so this event will allow students to learn the material in the classroom and then directly implement that knowledge with a hands on event. The anticipated event will be held on February 24th from 6pm-8pm in the OPP Lab. Our advisor, Dr. Melodie Chludzinski will be present. Furthermore, here are the COVID protocols that I ensure are upheld at all ACOS events: 1.) We will have a full roster of every individual who attends the guest lecturer event 2.) We will require masks, and uphold social distancing of at least 6 feet 3.) We will create a screening form for all members that sign up and require that they disclose any signs and symptoms, travel history, and close contact history prior to attending The educational purpose of this event is to expose students to a critical skill that requires proficiency in a variety of different specialties. As some students may not have been exposed to this technique yet, this will be a fantastic opportunity to allow students to gain hands on experience and knowledge from a practicing orthopedic surgeon within the LECOM Health system.
