Campus Blood Drive This Week

The American Red Cross continues to be under an urgent plea appeal for blood due to many winter weather blood drive cancellations. We need you to step in and “Be a Life-Saver” this Friday by making your blood donation in the Student Center in Room 205B from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Please consider making an appointment online to eliminate wait time by going to www.redcrossblood.org  Our Day 2 appointments are really low and your donation can save up to 3 lives! Walk-ins will also be honored. Please encourage members of your organization to donate!

Final Mandatory SAFA Agreement Trainings

If your organization failed to attend the Mandatory SAFA Funding agreement training or did not complete the post event form please contact Corey Parks, Vice President of Finance at ucasga.vpfinace@gmail.com.
Failure to complete both of these will result in the deferment of your funds for Fall 2015 SAFA.
The final meeting will be held tomorrow, April 16 during x-period in the SGA Office (Student Center 208) and will be led by the Vice President of Finance Corey Parks.
In order for your funds to be released you must attend one of these meetings and then complete the post event form that will be emailed to you on OrgSync.

Fall 2015 RSO Renewals Begin

Starting on April 20, Admins and Officers of all OrgSync pages will see an orange box on their organization’s page requesting that they renew their organization.

This renewal MUST be received no later than 4:30 PM on September 4, 2015 (15 days after the start of the Fall 2015 semester). Organization’s who fail to complete their renewals on time will lose their RSO privileges until a renewal is received, which includes receiving and applying for SAFA funds as well as scheduling privileges.

We are opening the renewal process up at the end of this month to allow organizations to renew before summer begins, though the process will be open all summer as well.

Volunteers Needed

Julia Lee Moore Elementary School is hosting a spring dinner at JLM, which is really a big family fun day and needs 10-15 volunteers to help.  The event is a fundraiser for the school so that we can buy new playground equipment for our very out dated playground.  We need volunteers to help us with face painting, games, and overall oversight so that our parents can enjoy the event with their kids. The event is on April 17th from 5:30-7:30pm. Please contact Trinina Pouncy at pouncyt@conwayschools.net for more information.
