Ok so it has been forever since I have been back on the site :( but u know floods, blizzards, twisters and school keep me pretty busy. But ok read my profile and it should tell u all about me, I think.  But here is the rundown! My name is Shaun I go to school in MN. Cold MN. I am a wellness educator at MSU (Minnesota State University) and I am super excited for my box of 1000 condoms!!!! So this is what went down this condom year (yes I just invented a new calendar). From the 500 condoms 25 were used for education programs. I know it sounds like not a lot but that’s cause up here people r kind of creped out by the preverbal idea about the spelling of the word  SEX, yes I know it’s that bad.  Then we donated 25 to our Wellness Center on campus so they could have some by the front desk for student to take. We also distributed a couple in the dorms. That was kind of a personal request from people in the dorms. Actually it made me really happy because they had the courage to ask me and now know where they can get condoms! During National HIV Awareness week we distributed 150 condoms all over campus! and at "A Boy, A Girl, A Virus" which was a presentation heal in our student union where a married couple came and talked to students about their challenge living with AIDS. One has AIDS and the other spouse did not but it was great! In January we had a testicular cancer awareness table at the Wellness Center and distributed 40 then. Finally to end up I worked with my campuses housing department and health center and we created a C-Card program, from now on a select group of Resident Assistants and Apartment Assistants will be providing free condoms within the residence halls and campus apartments!!! The program called "Condom Cards: On a Door on a Floor Near You!" and that first distribution was 253 condoms!!!! and we have gotten all good reviews. So it’s a good day!!!

Did u get them yet? I know there was a problem with some people doing the survey and being automatically registered. You should check in on that maybe. Hopefully u get your condoms!
