We did this
in Mid October 2011.The students on campus who went to the banquet were very
happy with the results.

Happy to help! |
We raised 2,500 dollars from mainly adult, community prolife supporters while bringing in students who were not from the area to see how prolife Western New York is.

The students who did not attend the banquet
were glad that we had a turnout. It was uplifting to hear such things come from
such prochoice people on the campus. To hear that people were happy with our
efforts and our results was certainly uplifting and while it did not get huge
attention in the university, we got huge buzz throughout the community. The
number one positive that the club was able to receive was during the
speeches of the present President Christian AndZel, the then president Sara Buttitta, and Kristan Hawkins; you could feel the
passion from the community members.

From there Christian created a community based
email where there are presently forty committed financial and emotional supports for our
club. Having that support is insurmountable to the task ahead. The optimism we
got from the banquet will continue to set the stage for our agenda.
