One Big Step; Many More to Come

Below Rachel has told you guys all the good news. We got the referendum for the Green Fund! I am really pumped up about the referendum passing!!!! This is a big step but there are many more to come. This is in fact a long term goal. Today’s success only marks the beginning of a long journey. I am so proud of everyone though, thanks for all the support and help that has gotten us this far.

I just wanted to keep everyone up to date on our short term goal, which is just as important as our long term goal. Rachel and I are pumped to start putting together the Green Fund Advisory Board or GFAB as we like to call it. Tomorrow we meet with Ed Bucha and Dr. Jerry Chmielewski to set up the Foundation account which will draw in donations from SRU staff, faculty, alumni and Slippery Rock community members. This will be a big step in our short term goal, the sooner we set up the foundation the sooner we can start accepting donations. And the sooner we get donations the sooner GFAB can start making a difference by approving projects.

Hang loose and happy trails,

Dan Cannon

Ohhh Yeah!

You guys, we are so excited right now! Dan, Doug, Allie and I attended the SGA meeting this afternoon, and we have succeeded in getting a referendum for everyone to vote on in the spring! We would like to truly thank SGA for allowing us to do this.

We were able to share the news first with Amber on WSRU 88.1, who is really awesome and shared our enthusiasm for the project. We had a ton of fun. So we will be meeting with President Smith next Friday to get the support of the administration, and we will be taking it one day at a time until YOU GUYS get to VOTE!
