[Newleaf] LED Bulb Brigade!

Hello Bulb Brigadiers,

It's a new week, and time for a new round of bulb distribution  
missions.  This is where we get all our trick-or-treating practice in  
before Hampshire Halloween.

We didn't end up making it out last Friday; I personally was delayed  
by my class field trip, and I don't blame people for being  
unenthusiastic on such a rainy day.  That said, I am proud to say that  
we have officially passed the 100 bulb mark!  We've been making great  
progress, let's keep it up.

If the Sustainable Hampshire people are able to go out tomorrow and  
distribute during class, a good place to focus would be the library's  
media basement.  We haven't hit it yet and I believe there are an  
abundance of lights down there that basically stay on all day.  If you  
guys are busy during class, we will cover the basement later this week.

As for the larger group, I'm going to propose some mission times for  
this week:

1. Wednesday Evening, Oct. 24 - Meet at 7:00pm in the Library Lobby  
(under the virtual gallery screen) - I think we should try an evening  
run, because people will probably be more likely to be in their mods  
at this time.  We'll just go from 7-8.

2. Thursday Afternoon, October 25 - Meet at 1:00pm in the President's  
Office.  If nobody has gotten to the Library basement by this time,  
we'll go there.  Otherwise, let's try for CASA and CORC as they have  
not been tried yet.  And there are always mods to fill the time if we  
need more to do.

3. Saturday, October 27 - This is going to be something different. I  
want to try a tabling event where we can get people to bring light  
bulbs to us for exchange.  I'm thinking we can do some kind of little  
raffle as an incentive, and advertise it this week.  Based on the  
success of this strategy we may do another one in the future.  It'll  
be pretty low key for volunteers, I think we'll set up a table in the  
Library Lobby with a poster and some information and of course a lot  
of LED bulbs.  I'd say we could try to be there from 3:00pm-5:00pm,  
and we don't need a lot of people to be there constantly.  You can  
drop in for however long is convenient, and probably just do homework  
while we wait for people to show up.  It'll be a great way to get the  
word out, at the very least.  More info to come on this, but I'd love  
some help.

Remember, for whatever bulbs you distribute, record the information of  
locations and bulb type as you go, and be sure to place all collected  
bulbs in the box outside Beth Hooker's Office (Cole 313).

Thanks again to everyone who has put in time on this project!  And if  
you haven't been checking out the google doc, it's pretty darn cool:
