The first volunteer event for EMRO

The first volunteer event for Emro is October 15th at Glacier Hills Retirement Home from 2-4. The event called Fall Fling and it is for the residents to spend time outside in a garden, listen to music, dance, eat. We will help the residents get to the garden from their room (many are in wheelchairs), distribute and set up food, dance with the residence, encourage them to meet other residents, and simply keep them company.

Remember, to be an active member you need 5 activities for the year. If you are interested in doing this event, please e-mail me back (sklarl@umich.edu) to let me know. Also, let me know if you need transportation to get there.

Thanks,
-Lindsay Sklar

EMRO Membership clarification

There is a link to our organization's constitution or other misc info on the bottom right of the page, if you want to find out.   I'll be updating the information as soon as possible.  Our board hasn't finalized on the details of the club code yet, but I will be posting them online after e-board meeting on Wednesday evening.

Even though we haven't finalized on the details, the requirements for the membership would probably be to attend certain amount of the activities (around 5 or less) that we will be holding through out the semester, and a small fee for a membership (usually EMRO only, FAST probably won't).

For FAST, you will be contacted by a related personnel and will go through training to get certified.

For EMRO, you might be required to pay the membership fee, if you want to get an official membership (price hasn't been set, but it won't cost too much).

Participation or attendance to the activities don't require membership so you are always welcomed to come.  We are pretty loose organization and we usually don't hold regular mass meetings.  Instead, we will be sending out information about upcoming events and you can sign up if the event interests you.

AGAIN THIS IS NOT A FINALIZED INFO, CHECK BACK THIS WEBSITE AFTER WEDNESDAY, Sep. 19th
