Hey Animal Science Club!
Amanda has just informed me that our AgrAbility speaker scheduled for tomorrow is sick and will not be able to make it. So, our meeting for tomorrow is cancelled, and we will not be having a meeting this week. However, if you are interested in going to Regionals, please email Amanda (akilby@udel.edu) by Monday, 11/28.
Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

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!

Hello Animal Science Club!
Here are the minutes from Wednesday's meeting:
Treasurer's Report
account: $1474.38
Budget Requests
Alumni Newsletter: Jodi Lasko requested a budget allowance of $185 to cover costs for the ANSC Club's annual alumni Newsletter. The Newsletter helps keep our old members involved with the club by informing them about our semester's activities. Also, the Newsletter is a good way to advertise our Spring Plant Sale and put out requests for Guest Speakers. Jodi's budget was approved by the club, and anyone who is willing to help stuff envelopes should come 15 minutes early to the next meeting.
Scrapbook: Jen Puttress requested an $80 budget to cover costs for an updated ANSC Club scrapbook. However, there was some debate among members as to whether the format for our scrapbook should take on a more professional look, so that we can submit it to National's, or if the scrapbook should be less formal and serve more as an "in-house" events picture album. We decided that before approving the budget, we are going to see if we even qualify for the National's Scrapbook competition. (aka. Have we done the required activities that must be outlined in the scrapbook?) Also, the club discussed making copies of the "scrapbook" to CD, so that we can distribute it to club members at the end of the year. If you have any additional concerns or suggestions about the scrapbook, please email Jen at jenp@udel.edu.
Committee Reports
Fundraising: Matt talked to Dr. Emara, and things are in the works for our Spring Plant sale. Concerning profit from the Hayride, after splitting ticket sales with AZ, our share of the profit is $180. However, costs from the Hayride are still being calculated.
Pre-Vet: The Brandywine Zoo trip is this Sunday the 13th. Those who are going should meet in the Russell parking lot (behind Russell building B) at 9:30am. The cost is $4 per person. Any last minute cancellations should be directed to Amanda at aepisano@udel.edu.
Also, we will be having Dr. Marshall as a guest speaker during next week's meeting. Dr. Marshall is a UD professor and an experienced equine vet. He has lots of advice about Vet school, equine interest, and other animal science-related information. So, please make an extra effort to come to next week's meeting! We would like to give a warm welcome to Dr. Marshall and let him know how appreciative we are that he is taking time to speak to the club. Also, we invite you to bring friends who might not be in the club, but could benefit from Dr. Marshall's lecture.
Social: Dinner with the club at Damon's was a success, and everyone who went last week had lots of fun. A tentative date for our annual Holiday Dinner at Dr. Griffith's is planned for Sunday, December 4th. The Holiday Dinner is always an awesome time with great food and friends. Also, we usually do a gift exchange that involves randomly selecting a small gift that you have the opportunity of exchanging with other members. (There's always some harmless squabbling and other exciting amusements.) In addition, the Social committee will be in charge of providing light refreshments during our guest speaker's lecture next week.
Livestock: At the end meeting, Amanda Kilby gave us some basic instruction on livestock judging for those who are interested in attending Regionals. Also, there will be some more practice judging livestock when we go to Steve Cook's on Nov. 20th. In addition, Steve Cook has a bunch of other exciting stuff lined up for us when we go down to help him on his farm. This includes trimming hooves, helping with vaccines, and a BBQ for lunch. We will discuss more about going to Steve Cook's at next week's meeting.
Service: We will be having our AgrAbility speaker on Tuesday, November 22nd at 6:15pm in Gore. This will replace our regularly scheduled meeting for that Wednesday. Also, please bring nonperishable food items to the Agrability speaker lecture, so that we can participate in the Thanksgiving food drive. (Make sure to check expiration dates on your nonperishables... and please, no bottled water!)
Other Items of Concern
-New member certificates are on the way, and our new members should receive them by next semester. Thanks for being patient!
-NESA 2006, aka. Regionals: This is taking place in Amherst, MA from Feb 24th to Feb 26th. There is a registration fee of $55, and there will also be additional costs for transportation and hotel accommodations. We will have information on these additional costs by next meeting. Also, we want to have a list of definite people who will be attending Regionals by Nov. 22nd. So, please start putting some serious thought toward Regionals!
Alright. That's it from Wednesday's meeting. We hope to see you all at next week's meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16th at 6:15pm in 037 Memorial for Dr. Marshall's guest speaker lecture! Have a great weekend, everyone, and see you then!
