Pie Fest!

Let's get together and have some pie to celebrate Thanksgiving, cooler weather, and a few days off. (or not, if that's the case!) This is a more casual event that should be lots of fun.

When: Tuesday, November 25th, 6-8 pm
Where: Cafeteria
What: Eat pie, chat, and play games.
Bring: A pie (home-made not required!). If you want to stay for games, bring a board game or game idea.

We are thinking of having regular game nights (once a month or so). Is that something you would be interested in? Please vote in the poll to the right about which day of the week would be best for you.

Dance Dance Marathon

Have you heard about Dance Dance Marathon?

The purpose of the Dance Dance Marathon is to raise awareness and financial support for the uninsured, and all donations will be given to the Saturday Free Clinic that many MCW students participate in.

• When: Nov. 1st, noon to midnight (you don't have to be there the whole time)
• Where: Radisson Hotel on North Ave. and Mayfair Rd.
• What will happen: Dancing is the main event--teams of about 6 people (formed beforehand) participate in the marathon by having at least one person from the team dancing at a time. There will also be games, Sumo wrestling, and activities to help the uninsured including signing letters to senators and House of Rep to support legislation on the uninsured, informational tables about the uninsured, Obama/McCain Health Policy info, and Medicaid and Badgercare Plus sign-ups. All music and games will be family friendly, and the event is open to the public.
• How to join: Email mcwmssa at gmail dot com. We would like to form several MSSA teams, and anyone can join. Registration is $15 per dancer, which covers the cost of a t-shirt, water bottle, meals for the day, and snacks. If you would like to dance but cannot afford to pay the $15 registration fee, still let us know and we will work something out. The planners have also set a fund-raising goal of $50 per dancer, which is why . . .

EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DANCE, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING--ANY AMOUNT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Some other ways you could help: sponsor another member of MSSA, offer to babysit for a couple who wants to dance, just come, etc.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Walking Group

Hi, Sarah Lythgoe and I have started walking in the mornings and we wanted to invite anyone who is interested to join us. We go on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday and we meet at 9:00 am by Wilson School on the corner of Glenview and Portland Ave. We usually walk for about 45 minutes. We'd love to see you there. :)

Actually, since school started they have been walking a little earlier, at 8:30 am. Same place, same days.

Welcome, New People!!

Hi, welcome to MSSA, MCW, Milwaukee, and our fabulous blog. Good luck with the new year, new changes, and if you need help with anything, let us know!!

New Year

Welcome to a new school year and some fresh blog updates! Feel free to post about anything and everything. Blogger allows 100 blog authors, so we'll just keep adding until we're full. If you are a member of MSSA and you'd like to post, email mcwmssa at gmail dot com. I'm working on getting a calendar to show upcoming events and other random widgets for the side, so stay tuned.
