Military Boxes - The SNA would like to send care boxes overseas for the soldiers. They need items such as stationary, batteries, playing cards, chapstick, etc. We would like to do this in Feb. These are not shoeboxes.

First Aid Kit Fundraiser - Go door-to-door and sell first aid kits. We need ideas of how to sell these. If anyone is interested, please contact a member of the SNA board.

Pinning Ceremony - on Dec. 15th for the new graduating seniors. They need volunteers to seat people and give refreshments. E-mail Christie if you would like to help out.

CPR Class - E-mail Christie if you would like to attend. She needs to know ASAP. She does not have a date set, but will post it on the website.
Mentor Program - for the new upcoming Juniors, we would like to turn over the mentor program to the juniors that are currently in the program. This allows for it to be transitioned for the new board in the Spring.
Adopt a Family - Erika has not been able to get in touch with DEFACS, so we are looking for other ideas and families to work with for Christmas. Stephanie has two families with her organization that we can adopt. ACE is another program with families we can adopt. E-mail Erika with any ideas or suggestions.
Clothing Drive - The Inner Harbor is the only place in GA where mentally disabled kids are allowed to stay. They always need clothes and we will make this our theme for Dec. We will need all types of clothes and sizes for donations. Deadline for clothes is Dec. 14th. The Haven House is a shelter for battered women that will accept clothes.
Resolution - Al is making a resolution for Clayton State to submit to NSNA. He would like people to help him with the resolution. His resolution will involve disaster training being a part of the nursing curriculum, tort reform, and the ethics of palliative being added to the curriculum.
