Hey Animal Science Club!

Here are the minutes from Wednesday's meeting:

NESA 2006 (Regionals!)
This is taking place in Amherst, MA from Feb 24th to Feb 26th. So far, we have about 12 club members interested in going. We've also made reservations for 2 hotel rooms, but we may need to reserve more. The rooms are $70/night, and there is no limit to how many people we can sleep in a room. So, if some people are fine with sharing beds, sleeping on the floor, etc., then split costs for the hotel arrangement won't be so bad. We're estimating that the total cost per person (including registration fee and hotel) should be about $80-100. However, keep in mind that this does not include gas, extra spending money, one dinner, and one breakfast. We would like to have a list of definite people who will be attending Regionals by next week's meeting, Nov. 22nd. If you have any questions regarding Regionals, please email Carolyn at cschnek@udel.edu.

Steve Cook's Farm
We're going as a service activity to help out on Steve Cook's Farm tomorrow, Sunday, Nov 20th. Unfortunately, not many people have signed up, so if you don't have any plans for tomorrow morning... please consider joining us! We'll be leaving from the Russell parking lot (behind Russell B) at 8am, and we'll probably get back to UD at around 3pm. Any questions should be directed to Danielle at dsmarsh@udel.edu.

Other Items of Concern
-Jodi is still working on the Alumni Newsletters, and they should be sent out by next week.
-A trip to Longwood Gardens is scheduled for our last meeting on December 6th. We are still hoping to get someone from the Longwood Graduate Program to come along with us as a "tour guide."

Tonight we collected food to participate in the Food Drive and had Dr. Marshall as our guest speaker. Thank you, everyone, who came to the meeting, and I hope you all found Dr. Marshall's advice about vet school to be informative!

Special note: Our meeting for next week will be on Tuesday the 22nd at 6:15pm in Gore 103. Our meeting time and place has been changed so as to accommodate our AgrAbility Speaker. So, please come out on Tuesday for our meeting and learn more about AgrAbility!

Alright, that's it for the minutes. Hope to see you all on Tuesday!
