Message-ID: <1897.128.195.103.158.1128304179.squirrel@spirit.dos.uci.edu> Hello Fabulous TOT Member! Having a good weekend? We hope so. Well, we really appreciate our fellow members and we want to make this club the best it can be for everyone. So, we decided that we would have a fundraiser! Hurray! This way TOT can afford things for our club members, such as: *Parties/Events (such as movie night/pizza night/coffee night) *Food *T-Shirts/bags *Decorations *Prizes *And anything else on which **club members** decide to spend the money. Okay, so have we got your attention? Are you curious about how we'll raise these funds? Here is what we thought up:....A DANDY CANDY DRIVE!!! We'll use current TOT funds to buy the candy in bulk, which is very cheap, and we'll sell it at an individual price with the added bonus to our customers that they are supporting a wonderful club on campus(*smile, wink*), plus we'll get the chance to spread the word about TOT to our friends, family and even strangers! Of course, you do not have to participate in this event, but it is a great opportunity to work together as a team to accomplish something that results in other, more obvious benefits ($). We are your officers and we will be right there with you, selling candy to the very hungry (due to the closing of the food court!!!) masses of UCI :) This "DANDY CANDY DRIVE" is a new tradition for TOT, so we really need to hear your input after you read this message (you can just reply to this message). Will you be willing to sell candy with us? Specify if you want to sell just a little or a whole bunch. We'll have a prize for the person who sells the most candy!!! (Please be brutally honest because we need to know how much to buy in the first place!) Thanks again for your time and thought!

Here are the answers to a couple quick questions pertaining to the candy drive: "What kind of candy will we sell?" The more popular stuff like Snickers, KitKat, rolos, other chocolate bars and maybe skittles or something like that (mostly whatever we can get cheap). "How do we sell the candy?" This is really up to you. We'll give you the candy in some sort of bag or something that will clearly show that you are selling the candy for TOT. You can ask random people if you want, but you can probably get by fine by asking the people with whom you have casual conversion throughout the day. You can ask a TA to support the club or you can just ask family and close friends. Don't be too persistent when it comes to people who seem really busy. Let them know that you and other future teachers will benefit personally from the sales, so it's a good cause :) "What if we don't sell all the candy we say we will?" If we give you twenty candy bars to sell and you only sell fifteen, that's okay. Just return the other five bars. You can also come back and get more candy if you run out. "When do we get the candy?" When we get enough responses we'll go ahead and buy the candy. We'll let you know when that is. We can distribute it at our next meeting or you can stop by the Careers in Teaching House in AV (where your President lives) or somewhere else if you want to get a head start. Let us know if you have anymore questions! -Lisa, Andrea, Jessica From teachersoftomorrow at spirit.dos.uci.edu Tue Oct 4 15:33:19 2005 From: teachersoftomorrow at spirit.dos.uci.edu (teachersoftomorrow@spirit.dos.uci.edu) Date: Tue Oct 4 14:33:21 2005 Subject: [Teachersoftomorrow-list] Teaching Assistant Opportunities through SPIRIT Message-ID: <1983.128.195.162.89.1128461599.squirrel@spirit.dos.uci.edu> Dear Teachers of Tomorrow, My name is Chris Chrition and I work in the UC Irvine Libraries, Education and Outreach Department for an outreach program called SPIRIT (School Partnerships in Research and Information Technology.) We host study visits from 6-12 grade classrooms from Santa Ana and Compton school districts. The program works with high school and junior high teachers in a variety of subject matters to teach their students library and information literacy skills that are essential for life long learning and academic success at the college or university level. To accomplish our mission of broadening our outreach efforts we hire student workers to help out with the research sessions. These student assistants act as role models interacting with both high school and junior high teachers and library staff to answer questions, guide the research process and share content specific expertise in classes as varied as astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, dance and more. We have employed members of your organization in previous years and hope we can continue to provide opportunities for hands on interaction with teachers and students. If you have any students in your organization that would like to gain teaching experience and share their expertise with small groups of students, please have them contact me via phone or email. I hope to hear from you!
