Berkeley's Cutest Pet

I think SGA needs a change in gears. For the past few weeks we have done a lot of activities that have involved arts and crafts, being creative and showing what you can do. It’s a really great concept but I think it’s starting to get old within the student body. Less and less students are coming to our events because it seems like it’s the same thing over and over again. When we had the Siete De Mayo fiesta event we had a wonderful outcome. It was something new, we had music and it got people involved. We have to do some brain storming at today’s meeting to see what we can come up with.

Yesterday was the Pet Event and it was a nice outcome, but I think we could have had a much better turnout. We collected a decent amount of money for the local animal shelter, people had fun and we got a lot done. We sold picture frames for $1 and dog chain key tags for $0.50. We thought the dog chains would come engraved but they didn’t so we had to improvise. We got a bunch of sharpies and students were able to decorate their own dog tags! It was really cool and a lot of people got them so that they can make one for their pets.

The pet picture contest is going great, much better than I anticipated that it would. I got about 13 pet picture submissions and their all so cute! The contest will be very hard to choose because every pet is so adorable. We have decided to do the voting today in the main building between 5 and 6pm. This way we can get the evening students to participate and make them feel important. They will be the ones choosing our cutest pet! Would you like to meet the candidates? Here they are!
