World AIDS Conference XVIII
The World AIDS Conference this year is in Vienna, Austria!
I have applied SMART Youth for an exhibition booth, and an international scholarship!
If we get approved, we can hopefully register, and then represent at this great International Networking Event!
We should still look into other funds and scholarships, for the event, as well as for SMART Youth in General.
WISH US LUCK!
PS: There would only be a few representatives. Funding is Key.

Cafepress!
Hey Everyone!
The SMART Youth Cafepress site is up and ready to go!
The designs are kind of simple, and regular right now, but once we have time to create new designs, and start some new fund-raising, we can keep up with the shop better!
Go check it out!

UPDATE on 2010 Outreach Project
UPDATE: (January 15th)
We will be making bags on January 29th.
Then distributing the bags on February 5th, Starting at the SMART Office then walking around the area to pass out our bags to our target Youth audience.
Stay updated!
Hope to see you there!
UPDATE: (January 14th)
By the looks of things our budget will only be $300.
So the main products we will focus on will be:
*Buttons (or if we can get the customized Keychains with the condom inside to have a fact in the front and SMART Youth info)
*SMART Youth Palm Card
*Lollipops (for attraction)
*Condoms (of course)
It won't be as bulky as we'd like but I think this will be simple and get the info out, as well as our name.
We also need to plan a date to do this project ASAP.
Possibly the week before Valentine's.

Happy New Year and Outreach Project 2010
Hey everyone!
Here are the notes from the brainstorm and such that we had Friday (January 8th, 2010)
We will be handing out around 200 outreach bags to the public in order to promote SMART Youth and increase our numbers.
Ideas for the bags consist of: (SMART Bags)
-The bags will most likely be the mini ziploc bags used for the snag bags, other ideas welcome
-Condoms (SMART is already supplied with plenty, this does not affect our budget)
-SMART Youth stickers on the outside corners of the bags
-Beaded bracelets: red and white beads and 2 rolls of elastic string, made by the youth.
(depending on budget and time to make these)
OR
-Flat jelly bracelets customized to say SMART YOUTH
(if this is more cost effective it may replace the beaded bracelets)
-Buttons with SMART Facts (facts and statistics on STD's and HIV, based on youth): for around 200 of these it costs $110
-Red lollipops
-SMART Youth Business Card (?), we do not have an official contact so we are unsure about creating a card, and have to wait for budget.
MAYBE's:
-Chapstick
-Pens (customized?)
-Keychains
-Magnets
Add any other ideas or prices you have found.
I will keep this board updated from every meeting until the project is complete.
