Good morning MEEOA,

Hopefully you saw Doris Juarez's email last week about TRIO Day. Just in
case, I have pasted it in below.

While things are going to look a little (OK, a lot) different this year,
TRIO Day is still going to happen, and a lot of the same roles need to be
filled on the TRIO Day committee. If you are interested in helping out,
please fill out the form Doris put together:

https://forms.gle/RatufVvE2LTd222o7

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks all, and hope you had great weekend!

Steve



> Good Afternoon MEEOA!
> My name is Doris Juarez, I am an Upward Bound advisor at the University of
> Southern Maine. I am reaching out because I have decided to help plan TRIO
> day 2021. After a few conversations with NEOA and MEEOA board members, we
> all agreed that we still wanted to move forward with hosting TRIO days 2021
> but this time we will be hosting it virtually.
> This is a very exciting opportunity because we get to create and deliver a
> TRIO day programing like no other. It is an amazing opportunity that will
> require a team. Although it is not going to physically take place in Maine,
> I still would love to be able to show all that Maine has to offer. There
> will be a need for creativity but I truly believe that our organization has
> some of the most creative people working for TRIO.
> For those that might feel that TRIO day is only for Pre-college programs,
> I am opening the door for anyone that would like to explore the
> possibility of creating some opportunities for SSS programs to also take
> part in this day.
> I know that many of us are feeling overwhelmed and a bit fatigued with the
> virtual world so I understand that not everyone will jump to this
> opportunity. I will say that my heart behind planning TRIO days is because
> I truly wanted to plan a celebration. Our students and staff have had a
> tough year and I wanted to use TRIO day as a way to celebrate our students,
> our history, and our programs. My hope is that TRIO day 2021 will be a time
> for reflection, a moment to celebrate how great our programs are and to
> remind students that they are cared for by a whole (TRIO/NEOA/MEEOA)
> community.
> If you are interested in helping plan this event for February 2021, please
> fill out the following survey by* November 6th 2020*.  I will follow up
> with those that fill out the form.
