The pumpkin sale was highly successful. We sold over 80 pumpkins with a profit of $863.50! Thank you to everyone who helped. Stuart Ramsey was kind enough to donate his purchased pumpkins, so today we signed a card for him and we have agreed as a club to donate a dinner gift certificate/night off from the farm as well.

We are going to Steve Cook’s Farm this Saturday (November 7th) to help him out. We are leaving from Lot 19 at 8:30 am sharp and should be back before 2pm. Lunch will be provided. You will receive a confirmation email if you signed up. If you would like to sign up (this mostly goes for those who cannot make the meetings) please email me by 12 pm on Friday. This qualifies as a service event.
V. Roller Skating
Sorry, but we did not have enough people signed up so we will have to cancel this trip… for now.
VI. Alpaca Farm
Next week we DO NOT have a regular meeting. Instead, we will be going to the Anderson’s Alpaca Farm! We will get the full work-up of what it takes to run an alpaca farm, breeding programs, and general information about alpacas. We will be leaving from behind Townsend Hall (from the parking lot) at 4pm next Wednesday, November 11th. We should be back around 8 or 9pm.
VII. Upcoming events

VIII. Announcements
o MANRRS Meeting tomorrow at 5:30pm in Memorial Room 112. They are hosting a free GRE workshop this meeting. If you can’t make it, definitely try to make it to their next meeting (Nov. 19th at 5:30 in Memorial 112). They will have an interview workshop. Interviewing skills are often the deciding factor of whether or not you will get the job! If you want to be placed on the email list or want more information, contact Kishana at kishana@udel.edu.
o If you have pictures from the Potluck or any other events, please email Julia or Carrie and they will give you the information to put the pictures up. Their emails are:
Julia Robinson: jlr@udel.edu
Carrie Kozar: ckozar@udel.edu
IX. Here is an outline of what went down at the NC State’s Jeffrey Huckel’s talk, compliments of Kyle Clark. If you have any questions for Jeffrey Huckel, email Kyle (at KforceC@udel.edu) and he will consolidate your questions and give you Jeff’s response.
o 9 UD students applied in 2009
o 18 out of state seats with a total of 80 students/year
o about 500 out of state students apply, and about 200 in state
o 3.4GPA Cum/last 45 credit hours/prerequisite courses (out of state)
o VMCAS/Supplementals/GPA/GRE/Experience/ Letters of Recommendation
o for letters, get people who know you, and have them include examples of your character in their letters ex: how do they know you’re a responsible person?
o get your VMCAS done early if you can, and take your time on the supplemental applications
- a C- is the lowest grade they’ll accept for a prerequisite
o Make sure you’re done your prerequisite courses before your final semester... only two may be left until the Spring semester of your senior year.
- PLAN AHEAD... look at vet schools and make sure the classes they require are the classes you’re taking!!!
o NCSU offers all students “selectives” each year which can either be divided into 1 2wk session, or 2 1wk sessions. These “selectives” are hands-on, and often smaller classes which allow you to get some experience with an animal group or specialty of your choice BEFORE your 3rd/4th year.
--This helps when picking your “focus area” (of which there are 9).
-- You will graduate with a DVM, and can practice medicine on any animals, but focus areas give you a little bit more experience/specialization in that one area
**Our next meeting will be Wednesday November 18th at 5:30 pm in Willard Rm. 116**
