Eonfire launch at the University of Alberta!

Hi Guys! Just an update on what is going on with Eonfire - University of Alberta! We managed to sign up 140 people during Club's Fair and our pizza social went really well! We had three special speakers: Dr. Gary McPherson, Tyler Wry and Jeff Coleman who spoke about student's power to create social change through social entrepreneurship. We had about 35 students and it was very encouraging for a new club such as us to attract that many students from an array of field of studies. I personally talked to many students, and what was most amazing was that many of them already have ideas of social projects they want to develop but they just don't know where to start! It's all exciting considering the response we have, and what is weird is that we have more response from the science faculty than the business school...

I've just submitted two proposals for funding (for Eonfire Decentral) so please pray with me that the potential donors will want to fund us to empower young people to be socially responsible leaders in our society permeating into the world.

On another note, our mentor Dr. Gary McPherson is running for the PC Leadership Race in Alberta. He is one of the most amazing man I know and his life story attests to that. I fully support him considering his diverse experience in politics and leadership in social issues. Please visit www.teammcpherson.com and consider supporting him by way of purchasing a membership card and voting for him when the time comes!
