Hello Animal Science Club! Here are the minutes from our very short meeting on 9/21:

Treasurer's Report:
Inside Account: $1,171.25
Outside Account: $698.65

Dues
Last call for dues is next meeting, 9/28! Dues are $10, which you can give to Matt in either cash or check (made payable to Animal Science Club). If you can't make it to the meeting, you can drop off your dues in the ANSC club's mailbox in 104 TNS. Remember, for new members, your dues go toward National Block and Bridle membership, and you'll get a niffty certificate.

Newark Community Days Report
Thanks everyone who came out on Sunday and helped with the ANSC club's table at Community Day. We made a lot of little kids happy with all sorts of farm animals, butterflies, robots, and pirates painted onto their faces. All in all, it was a very successful day, and we raised $80.02 in donations to be sent to the Humane Society for animal victims of hurricane Katrina. As far as things to keep in mind for next year's Community Day, we should think about advertising for our Halloween fundraiser on Community Day and take advantage of this great publicity opportunity.

Ag Carnival
We had team sign-ups for Ag Carnival at the meeting. If you're still interested in participating on one of our two teams, please email Amanda at akilby@udel.edu. Ag Carnival is on Saturday, 10/1.

Haunted Hayride
We discussed some preliminary ideas for the hayride. Once again, it is scheduled for Friday, 10/21 and Saturday, 10/22. The exact times and prices per person/wagon are still being debated. However, there was talk about having cheaper tickets for the earlier children-friendly hayride (which is tentatively during the Saturday ride from 6pm-7:30pm). Also, we discussed possible unifying themes for the Hayride, such as having a "story teller" on the wagon, who narrates as the hayride goes through stations related to urban legends/scary movies/etc. In addition, we talked about publicity opportunities. One idea was to get a kiosk in Trabant and give out free tickets for answering correctly different Animal Science-related trivia, or have a buy-one-get-one sale. If you have any other hayride ideas, please email me at jesshall@udel.edu.

Kilby Cream
At the end of the meeting, the club adjourned for a trip to Kilby Cream. Hope everyone had fun!

Alright. That's it for this week's minutes. See you all at the next meeting on Wednesday, 9/28 at 6:15pm in 037 Memorial!
