The event was open to both students and faculty, and mostly faculty attended. The event was a great way to meet faculty from the other campus and come together as a community with an appreciation for the arts.  <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u201cOpen Mic Poetry Caf\u00e9.\u201d Our chapter organized an open mic night, and it was in the style of a candlelight caf\u00e9. We transformed the cafeteria into caf\u00e9 with round tables, fake candles on each table, and a snack table with drinks and refreshments. The event was open to both students and faculty. All participants were welcome to read their own poetry, poetry of others, sing, rap, play an acoustic instrument, etc. We charged a minimum amount at the door to raise money for our chapter.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u201cTropical Smoothie Fundraiser.\u201d Our chapter raised money at a local smoothie caf\u00e9. The cafe was generous enough to allow us to advertise in the parking lot to raise money for our chapter. A small percent of every customer\u2019s purchase went towards our chapter. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u201cShakespeare\u2019s Tragic Silence.\u201d Our chapter had our advisor, Dr. Ricciardi, speak to students, faculty, and others about Shakespeare\u2019s tragic heroes\u2019 last words. He spoke about Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth. The event was extremely successful and there was standing room only. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u201cCST workshop.\u201d Our chapter planned two different \u201cCST workshops.\u201d In these workshops a generous professor from our college dedicated her time to help students learn study tips for the English Content Specialty Test. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u201cHomework Helpers.\u201d The former president organized a program called Homework Helpers. For community service our chapter members participate in tutoring students from grades 1-12 in all subject areas. The current president kept the program going this year, and it is growing in popularity. We tutor every Tuesday night for two hours at a public library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alpha Iota Omicron Chapter St. Joseph\u2019s College Patchogue, NY Events for fall 2010 President: Melissa Walsh Vice President: James Bocca Secretary: Laura Randall Treasurer: Allison Anziano The Alpha Iota Omicron Chapter completed the following events for fall 2010: \u2022\u201cTheatre opportunities.\u201d The president of our chapter organized a trip with the Long Island and Brooklyn [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-spotlights","category-eastern-region"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pa2J6O-1I","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wordybynature.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
