Hello everyone,
We will be having the last UND SCCC Meeting of the Fall 2008 semester on Tuesday, November 18th, at 7:00PM, in the Memorial Room on the 2nd Floor of the Memorial Union. We will continue our discussion of plans for next semester (as well as discussing possible meeting time changes for those with difficulty attending Tuesday evening meetings), as well as discuss how we will conduct the "Concealed Carry on Campus - A Discussion" Nightlife event on the 21st, and handle promotions for it. I will be passing out literature similar to that which was distributed at our table at the Student Involvement Expo back in August, with common arguments and our group's official rebuttals for them. Additionally, we will discuss what types of events we would like to conduct leading up to our Nighlife event to participate in the "SCCC Pitch It To The People" week, running from November 17th-21st.
As mentioned, UND SCCC will be hosting a UND Nightlife event on the night of the 21st. Here is a portion of the press release I intend to send out to local media regarding it:
"UND Students for Concealed Carry on Campus is proud to sponsor "Concealed Carry on Campus - A Discussion," a UND Nightlife event designed to eliminate confusion about Concealed Carry on Campus, and to allow individuals, both Pro and Against, to voice their opinion, and debate with one another, in a moderated discussion. This event will take place at 9:00 PM on November 21st, 2008, in the Lecture Bowl on the 2nd Floor of the UND Memorial Union.
UND SCCC has worked hard this fall to build up awareness for our cause, and it's time to have an event that will be a culmination of those efforts. This event will bring to a close UND SCCC's activities throughout the week of November 16th-21st, as we will be participating in our parent group's event that week, entitled "Pitch It To The People."
Although UND SCCC is obviously biased to one side of this discussion, we are strongly encouraging individuals, or groups, with views contrary to ours to attend, as we feel that there has been strong misconceptions and misinformation about exactly what our group is trying to achieve. By allowing viewpoints from either side at this event, we are able to encourage discussion and debate in a controlled environment that is beneficial for all parties involved, as both sides can address questions and concerns directly."
I hope to see all of you at the meeting, and at our nightlife event. As always, don't hesitate to send me any questions if you have any.

What a weird time to have a serious talk about guns.
