Activist Proposal for GERWC (revised)

I will try to acquire new members to join the Greater Evansville Runners/Walkers Club, with a realization of helping their overall health: Physically and mentally. This program offers helpful and fun ways to keep in shape. I have placed flyers, made by the official club at both the Physical Activity Center (PAC) and the Recreational Center (REC). I am also hoping to spread awareness throughout campus by going to the sporting events, speaking with coaches, faculty and students, alike. To try to new recruit members, to help open the GERWC to more of the community. So it can become more diverse with the different age groups. I would also try to inform more people about the club, it is not only just for the people who are already in shape but also for those who want to get into shape. So they can feel physically and mentally confident about themselves. Within this club there are many opportunities and they are done with free will, no one is forcing anything. My goal is to attract, inform, and invite college students, faculty, and all people of all ages, to join. With the best intentions for themselves. I am currently working on a poster, some pamphlets, and an essay to promote the Greater Evansville Runners/Walkers Club.

improvement of the school and the better quality of the food, I willingly accept my
