I have been looking at many of the wiki sites and list serve archives but I am still very confused on how best to start a group. I have only been able to make comparisons to IMSA’s volunteer group, in Aurora, IL but I don’t know if we should be fund raising or working on developing programing?? What is more needed/ beneficial from a student service perspective?? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>Mallory Melton, M.Ed<span style='color:#009900'>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>Coordinator, Student Services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'>Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'>Western Kentucky University<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'>1906 College Heights Blvd., #71031<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'>Bowling Green, KY 42101<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'>Phone: 270.745.4755 | Fax: 270.745.2987<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'><a href="mailto:mallory.melton@wku.edu"><span style='color:#009900'>mallory.melton@wku.edu</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'><a href="http://www.wku.edu/academy/"><span style='color:#009900'>http://www.wku.edu/academy/</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/gattonacademy"><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=189 height=189 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.jpg@01CD81E3.A94541A0" alt="Description: find-us-on-facebook3"></span></a><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#009900'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
