[saro_events] Kick-Off meeting, Farm Sanctuary visit,

Welcome back everyone!

Volunteers needed for SU Involvement Fair Table
The SU Student Activity Fair is a great way to reach out to incoming freshmen.
SARO will have a table there and we need some help staffing it. We will have a
table with our email sign-up sheet, fliers about our meetings, and free
stickers and literature for people to pick up. Email Amber at alcoon@syr.edu
if you can help out for any part of the fair.
When: Wednesday, September 11th from 11:30-3pm
Where: Syracuse University quad

Day Trip visit to Farm Sanctuary
We will carpool down to visit the rescued animals at Farm Sanctuary in
beautiful Watkins Glen, NY. $15 per person covers gas/tolls and admission, and
SARO funds will cover the rest. Snacks and microwaveable meals are for sale in
the gift shop, but bringing a bag lunch is recommended. . Wear boots or
sneakers for muddy areas on the farm. Information on the sanctuary can be
found here: www.farmsanctuary.org Email alcoon (at) syr.edu to reserve your
seat or if you have a vehicle and would like to help the carpool.
When: Saturday, September 14th.
Carpool: leaves ESF campus at 9am, returns at 6pm. Meet at the statue of Abe
Lincoln next to Illick Hall on SUNY ESF for the carpool.

SARO Kick-Off Meeting
This meeting will be an introduction to SARO, what the club has done in the
past, and possibilities for future events. We will also be looking to get
everyone signed up for a shift at the table in Marshall Foyer to recruit new
members or hold a bakesale.
When: Wednesday, September 11th from 7-8pm
Where: TBD- awaiting room reservation confirmation

Foster home needed for rescued cats
Because adoption rates are so slow at this time, especially for adult cats,
the Cat Coalition of Central New York is seeking temporary foster homes for
cats in their care to give them a rest from ‘shelter life’. If you or someone
you know has an apartment, and the time to care for a cat(or a pair!), email
alcoon (at) syr.edu if you are able to help one of these guys. Food and
litter box etc can be supplied if needed.

[saro_events] S.U. will kill these two cats unless..

Leave a reply
SARO has been alerted to a situa=
tion at Haven Hall on Syracuse University campus.

Apparently, students and staff have been feeding two cats who were abandone=
d there for the past few months. However, S.U. has become aware of them and=
does not want the cats approaching students as they begin to move into the=
dorms. A staff person  at S.U. named Janice  has been =
negotiating with S.U. to try to save the cats from being killed.

 

The cats have been given a stay of execution until June 18th. A foster home=
needs to be found by then to save these cats lives. They are one male and =
one female, and are very friendly. The cats will be spayed/neutered, vaccin=
ated, dewormed and de-flead. All they need is a safe home to stay in for th=
e summer while a permanent home is found for them.

 

If you can help, please contact the staff person directly at 727-8401.=

It’s almost summer time!
Wow, when did it become May?! YEA Camp 2012 seems like it ended not that lo=
ng ago, but YEA Camp 2013 is right around the corner, and we cannot wait fo=
r another epic experience with some of the most inspiring teenagers on the =
planet!

YEA Camp is a unique program, and there is nothing quite like it to support=
teens in taking a holistic, positive, and strategic approach to making a d=
ifference in their community and the world — whether it be addressing anim=
al cruelty, climate change, racism, homophobia, bullying, war, poverty, or =
other forms of injustice. Who do you know who would love YEA Camp? We still have spots available for each of our sessions in Californ=
ia, Oregon, and Massachusetts. See dates to the right and visit YEACamp.org&nbsp=
;for more info.

Check out and help out these inspiring future YEA Campers!
We believe any age-appropriate youth who=
really wants to attend YEA Camp should be able to, even if their family ca=
n’t afford the tuition. Thanks to some very generous donors, we have never =
turned anyone away for lack of funds. We also work with future campers to e=
ncourage them to fundraise towards their tuition — a valuable activism ski=
ll in itself. We’ve got over a dozen campers who have created fundraising p=
ages and could use your help. Please check out why these impressive young people wan=
t to come to YEA Camp and support their efforts to experience YEA =
Camp this summer. As our alumni campers attest, it will make a difference for ye=
ars to come. 

Help Gina come to YEA Camp this summer! “My g=
oal is to help end modern day slavery. By attending Youth Empowered Action =
Camp this summer I hope to pursue my passion with other driven, like minded=
, and ambitious teenagers my age in an environment where the main goal is t=
o tackle some of the biggest issues facing the world.”

H=
elp Tyler=
come to YEA Camp this summer! “I want to prevent bullying and=
teen suicides, because they need to know they aren’t alone and that it get=
s better. I want to create a huge group of accepting people, all striving t=
owards equality, rights, and most of all, happiness.”

Help Paulina come to YEA Camp this summer! “I am a strong supporter of equality and I want to make sure everyone i=
s treated equally. I want to attend YEA Camp this year so that I can learn =
first hand how I can make a difference.”


Help Vivien come to YEA Camp This summer! “Please help me in my=
journey of spreading awareness for human trafficking all through out our c=
ommunity, because if we start small together, we WILL get somewhere and att=
ain justice.”

Help Lily =
come to YEA Camp this summer! “I’m vegan, and I care a lot about a=
nimal rights. I also care about our environment. In the future, I plan on m=
ajoring in Environmental Conservation. I want to attend YEA to have the sup=
port of the YEA staff to help me express and inform people about animal rig=
hts/cruelty, and the problems affecting our environment.”

We’ll be sharing a new future YEA Camper fundraising profile on our Faceboo=
k page every day until camp starts, until they are all funded. Please check=
out and like our Facebook page and support and share these inspiring=
teens’ efforts! To see more and contribute to our fantastic future ca=
mpers who are fundraising to attend YEA Camp, click here!

Thank you for supporting YEA Camp!
