Hello Animal Science Club!

I hope everyone is having a great Spring Break! Here are the minutes from last week's meeting:

Guest Speaker from AgrAbility
Sally Van Schaik came to talk to us about AgrAbility and how the organization has helped disabled farmers succeed in agriculture. Sometimes they need groups to help in building stairs, etc., so she will be in contact with us in the event that they could use our assistance with such a project. Also, she asked that if anyone has questions or ideas, or if you'd like to attend their Advisory Committee meeting, then you should contact her at svanschaik@gt.esdel.org or 877-204-FARM (3276). Our club has helped fund some of their projects, and Sally wanted to express her thanks for our generous donations. Before she left, we presented her with a check for AgrAbility in the amount of $595, which we raised during the auction for Ag Carnival.

Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,029.30

High School Judging/Quiz Bowl Competition
A meeting was scheduled (for outside of club business meetings) to discuss this idea further. If you are still interested in being a member of this committee, please email Jenna at jscib@udel.edu.

Service Activity
Steve Cook's didn't happen last Sunday, because the people who went got lost. In order to prevent this confusion for future trips to Steve Cook's farm, we talked about possibly posting directions to Steve's on our website. Unfortunately, the rest of our semester is rather busy, and Steve is busy throughout April, so we will not be able to reschedule Steve Cook's for this semester. Instead, as another service activity, we will look into helping out at the Delaware Humane Association sometime in April.

Animal Technician/Intern Needed
Melissa Goodson, a 2005 Animal Science UD Alumnus, wanted to spread the word that her company, Huntingdon Life Sciences, is expanding their toxicology department and is looking for technicians. This is a great opportunity for graduating Seniors looking for jobs in the field, or for an undergraduate who would like an internship for the Summer. Huntingdon Life Sciences, situated in central New Jersey, is one of the world's largest Contract Research Organizations. For more information, you can either get in contact with Melissa (862-432-6688) or you can check out the HLS website at http://www.huntingdon.com/.

Alright. That concludes the minutes from last week's meeting. Enjoy the rest of your Spring Break... and we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Wednesday, 4/5 at 5:30pm in MEM 111.
